Georgia Thunderbolts Ink With Mascot Records
Southern rock group The Georgia Thunderbolts have signed with Mascot Records. The band has also signed a management deal with Richard Young of Kentucky Headhunters fame. Additionally, United Talent Agency will represent the Thunderbolts for North American bookings. The band’s first record, a self-titled EP, The Georgia Thunderbolts, is being released today (Aug. 21). A new single from the album, “So You Wanna Change the World,” is also out today with an accompanying video.
“The Georgia Thunderbolts are very excited to be signed to such a wonderful team as Mascot Records,” says Thunderbolts lead singer T.J. Lyle. “It truly is an honor for us. We wanted to work with a label who understands us for who we are and what we can bring to the table. We found that in the Mascot Records family.”
Jay Clementi Joins SongwritingWith: Soldiers As Music Director
Jay Clementi has joined SongwritingWith:Soldiers in the newly-formed position of Music Director. Darden Smith, who is stepping down from his executive role, will continue as a board member and participate in the transformative SW:S weekend retreats and workshops that pair veterans with professional songwriters to craft songs about combat and the transition home. SW:S programs, which serve all branches of the military and are provided free of charge, have gained national attention for the positive gains experienced by participants.
“I have been writing with SW:S since 2012 and proud to be a lead songwriter for the past two years,” said Clementi. “It’s truly an honor to take my commitment to the organization to the next level as Music Director, and I’m thrilled to work with Mary and Kristin to expand our programs for veterans and their families.”
