‘Nashville’ Actor and Singer Chris Carmack Preps Solo EP
Chris Carmack of the recently renewed ABC drama Nashville, will make the jump from portraying a rising country singer-songwriter to releasing his own independent EP.
Pieces of You, featuring the single “Being Alone,” is slated for a spring release. The project was produced by Ben Fowler (Lynyrd Skynyrd) and Phoenix Mendoza.
Equally as confident in his songwriting abilities as his acting abilities, Carmack is the sole writer on “Being Alone.” “‘Being Alone’ is about a young person’s solitary struggle to discover his own identity while trying to adhere to the stifling plans and expectations of others,” Carmack said. “The entire EP is comprised of songs I wrote when I was in Los Angeles trying to do just that: find my identity in a world that had no shortage of opinions about who I should be.”
Carmack joins several Nashville cast members who have released music outside of the show. Lennon and Maisy Stella, who portray Rayna Jaymes’ daughters Daphne and Maddie, released a live EP in 2012. Jonathan Jackson (Avery Barkley) and his band Enation signed with Loud and Proud Records in 2013. Fellow cast members Charles Esten, Clare Bowen, and Sam Palladio also have new music in the works.
Lucky Nashville fans might get the chance to hear the new single in person, as Carmack is currently on the eight-city Nashville tour, which runs through May 10. Carmack also has upcoming shows in Sioux City and West Des Moines, Iowa, before making his CMA Music Fest debut at the Belk Park Stage on June 13.
