Blanco Brown Releases ‘TrailerTrap’-Style Self-Titled Debut EP

Genre-bending BBR artist Blanco Brown has released his self-titled debut EP. The songwriter, producer (Fergie, Childish Gambino, Chris Brown, Kane Brown), vocalist and multi-instrumentalist affectionately calls his music “TrailerTrap.” The EP is inspired by his youth in Atlanta and splitting his time in rural Georgia during the summers, and draws upon the rawness and storytelling abilities of his two biggest musical influences, Johnny Cash and Outkast.

“I’ve loved country music since I can remember—it’s what makes me happy,” said Brown. “My Atlanta friends never quite understood my passion for it so when I started making my own music, I set out to blend the elements of country that I love with the sounds I’ve been working with to represent who I am and what I listen to.”

“Some of the Country Music’s biggest recent moments have come from collaborations between Country and Urban artists. It’s increasingly evident that fans simply don’t live in just one genre anymore,” said Jon Loba, EVP of BBR Music Group. “That sentiment embodies itself in Blanco Brown who is from Georgia, a place that is home to one of the epicenters of Urban music and incubator for some of Country’s biggest stars. It was only natural that those two communities would influence each other and eventually morph into a sound and genre drawing upon the best of both worlds. Like The Allman Brothers Band, Otis Redding, and Jason Aldean who came before, Blanco is part of a rich Georgia tradition that not only bends genres but eventually defines them.”

Track Listing:
“Ghett Ol Memories” (Blanco Brown, Corey Marquez Stephens, Liby Vongmanee)
“Georgia Power” (Blanco Brown, Isaiah Brown, John Whitfield, Dominic Crawford)
“Tn Whiskey” (Blanco Brown)
“CountryTime” (Blanco Brown, Sam DiCesare, Abraham Abushmais)

Brown will celebrate the launch of his EP with live performances next week with several appearances at CMA Fest. He will perform at the Official Dee Jay Silver CMT Award Show After Party on Wednesday night (June 5), the Firestone Country Roads Stage at Ascend Amphitheater on Thursday night (June 6), the Nashville Acoustic Corner stage on Friday (June 7) and he will appear at the Music Choice booth at Fan Fair X and hit the Radio Disney stage and Spotify’s Ole Red stage on Saturday (June 8), in addition to hosting a #GitUpChallenge at the Wildhorse Saloon at noon for fans.
