Tyra Madison Releases Official Music Video for “Party Girl”

News /

Following the growing success of her single “Party Girl,” rising country artist Tyra Madison has released the official music video, bringing the emotional weight of the track to life through a poignant visual narrative. The video has also been added to CMT Music’s rotation this week as well as their 12 Pack Countdown, marking a significant milestone in Tyra’s continued rise. The video opens with a girl entering a crowded bar, her expression distant as she quietly orders a drink. As the scene unfolds, Tyra herself appears alone in a bathroom—dressed up yet surrounded by remnants of a chaotic night: fries, a wine bottle, and a box of American Spirits—mirroring the internal chaos hidden beneath the surface. The story cuts to the main actress forcing smiles at a table of laughing friends, and eventually, her silent breakdown in front of the bathroom mirror as she reapplies her makeup to “paint her smile back on.” Just as the girl tries to compose herself, Tyra enters the bathroom, gently asking if she’s okay—signaling a moment of connection and understanding between two women who both know what it’s like to feel like they have to be the life of the party. “The song tells an emotional story that I thought deserved imagery to go with it,” says Tyra about the video. “I knew I didn’t want to be the lead girl, because this song is all about female empowerment. I knew I wanted to be the one comforting the main actress in the video.” “Party Girl” was produced by Jason Haag and written by Tyra Madison, Marla Cannon Goodman, and Dustin Christensen. The music video was shot at Tin Roof Demonbreun and directed by Tyra Madison and Chelsea Thompson. To read more exclusive articles and latest news, see our last issue here.

Tamara Saviano Book Chronicles the Rise of Americana Music

News /

Part memoir, part oral history, Poets and Dreamers: My Life in Americana Music traces Tamara Saviano’s remarkable journey through the rise of the Americana music genre. Spanning more than three decades and told by an intimate insider, Saviano unfolds the story of Americana—country music’s bohemian cousin—from her unique perspectives as a journalist, historian, Grammy-winning music producer, filmmaker, and artist emissary. The first woman president of the Americana Music Association and producer of the early Americana Honors and Awards shows at Nashville’s storied Ryman Auditorium, Saviano takes readers behind the scenes for some of the most significant moments in Americana history. Poets and Dreamers illuminates the exceptional Americana community: an ever-expanding yet close-knit circle of friends and unsung heroes devoted to the success of roots music and its artists. Highlights include interviews with artists and colleagues and memories of special events, concerts, and day-to-day life with singers, songwriters, and musicians. Tender stories recalling Saviano’s close relationships with two of her most enduring clients, iconic songwriters Kris Kristofferson and Guy Clark, round out this singular historical work. “My journals, a main source for this book, chronicle every minute I spent with Kris Kristofferson and Guy Clark along with all the other adventures I’ve had working in Americana music,” Saviano says. “But this is more than my story, it is the story of a scrappy group of music business misfits in the 1990s who were crazy and brave enough to build a business around a new music genre. And it worked.” The book includes photographs of significant people and moments in Americana music. To read more exclusive articles and latest news, see our last issue here.

The NASHVILLE Encore Tour will feature stars Clare Bowen, Charles Esten, Jonathan Jackson and Sam Palladio who will take the stage to perform classic songs from the series as well as their own original material. “It’s rare that an actor gets to play a dream role like Scarlett for so long,” said Bowen. “Even rarer to have ‘NASHVILLE’s’ beautiful catalogue of music that we get to continue celebrating with audiences around the world. The live shows are an evolution of the series. We meet so many new fans of the tv show on the road, and they’re out there singing right along with those who’ve been with us from the start, and it’s such an honor for us. We have the best fans in the world.” Esten added, “It’s difficult to describe the depth of feeling I have for the show ‘NASHVILLE,’ the character Deacon, and the amazing people that I got to work with for those beautiful six years. That I get to join with some of them, sing these songs, and bring them to the people who made it all possible – the fans of ‘NASHVILLE’ – is a blessing I will never take for granted. I can’t wait to do it again!” With the success of the last tour, cast member Jackson said, “I am so excited that the musical journey with the ‘NASHVILLE’ cast is still unfolding. We’ve been digging into the ‘NASHVILLE’ catalogue and uncovering some tunes we’ve never performed live together. I’m immensely grateful to be able to go on the road and perform these songs with my cast mates, our incredible band, and experience it all together with our amazingly dedicated fans.” Palladio added to those comments saying, “It never ceases to amaze me the dedication and love of the ‘NASHVILLE’ fans. It’s a testament to the music that we still get to perform these songs and feel the love of the crowd after all this time. With the upcoming release of my debut album, it feels like the journey of ‘NASHVILLE’ has brought me full circle and I’m excited to be sharing my new chapter of music.” ‘NASHVILLE’ became a TV phenomenon when it first debuted in 2012. Set against the backdrop of Nashville’s music scene, the show followed the lives of Clare Bowen as Scarlett O’Connor, Charles Esten as Deacon Claybourne, Jonathan Jackson as Avery Barkley, and Sam Palladio as Gunnar Scott as country music superstars, up-and-coming performers and songwriters trying to get ahead in the business. The show’s popularity grew, instantly reaching over 225 territories worldwide before its final season in 2018. Since its debut, the show has inspired 22 soundtracks, including a Christmas album, which collectively sold millions of album units and single-track downloads around the world. ‘NASHVILLE’ was also critically lauded with multiple Emmy, Golden Globe and Critics Choice award nominations, The incredible cast embodies Music City’s creative spirit and will once again take the stage together to celebrate the magic of ‘NASHVILLE.’ To read more exclusive articles and latest news, see our last issue here.
