Old Dominion

Old Dominion share new single 'Some People Do' ahead of their appearance at C2C 2020

Exclusives, News /

Old Dominion have shared their latest single Some People Do from their self-titled third album, just before they return to the UK for C2C 2020. You can listen to the song here. Some People Do follows in the footsteps of Make It Sweet, One Man Band and Never Be Sorry from the critically acclaimed third record, as the recent CMA Award winning Vocal Group of the Year step up their plans for their first C2C appearance since 2018. Speaking about the song, frontman Matthew Ramsey said that it is about trying to be the best person that you possibly can be for this closest to you, even though you know that despite that, you are still going to unintentionally hurt them at some stage. “It’s a breaking-point kind of song,” Ramsey said. “I think inherently we’re all good people and want to be good people, but no matter who you are, sometimes you hurt the ones you love. It’s about that desire to be the best person you can be for those people.” Old Dominion are made up of Ramsey, Trevor Rosen, Whit Sellers, Geoff Sprung and Brad Tursi and were in the UK as recently as October, where they embarked on their biggest headline tour to date this side of the Atlantic, including an appearance at the Eventim Apollo in London. Ironically, Jordan Davis was their support for that tour and he will also be appearing at C2C this year, albeit on a different day to Old Dominion.

Exclusives, Live events, News /

For the first time ever in the UK, the Nashville all female songwriter collective Song Suffragettes will be touring, with it due to commence in late April. Tickets will be available on Feb 7 here. Over the last five years, the collective has grown tenfold and has done wonders to combat the gender issues that occur with alarming regularity in America, with over 250 females appearing with the project – 16 of which have gone on to sign record deals. On this instance, Song Suffragettes will be made up of American artists Kalie Shorr and Candi Carpenter, alongside UK acts Vic Allen and Bellah Mae. In addition, there will be a local female singer-songwriter announced for each night. For those unaware, Schorr is tipped for huge things in the genre and was listed as a CMT Next Women of Country in 2018, performing at the Grand Ole Opry on 17 different occasions. Carpenter meanwhile has been grafting in Nashville for 20 years, but has very much established herself on the scene now – even appearing on an NBC Dolly Parton: 50 Years at the Grand Ole Opry special, while working closely with Brandi Carlile. As for the UK acts, Vic Allen is very much on the rise and has seen her work chart in the too five on the iTunes UK Country Chart in addition to receiving BBC Radio 2 airplay, while Bellah Mae is still just 18, but has seen her work picked up by celebrity gossip magazines for their video output. Song Suffragettes will be playing: April 26 – Oran Mor, Glasgow, Scotland April 27 – Glee Club, Nottingham, England April 28 – Glee Club, Birmingham, England April 29 – Band on the Wall, Manchester, England April 30 – Bush Hall, London, England
