Kameron Marlowe Notches Second Gold Certification

Columbia Nashville/Sony Music Nashville singer-songwriter Kameron Marlowe recently celebrated his Gold-certified single “Burn ‘Em All” with the staff at Sony Music Nashville. The team presented him with the commemorative plaque ahead of the release of his debut album, We Were Cowboys.

“Burn ‘Em All” was written by Marlowe alongside Brinley Addington, Joey Hyde and Aaron Eshuis, and produced by Grammy-nominated Brad Hill. The track marks Marlowe’s second Gold record following the certification of hit single “Giving You Up” last year.

“Wow, a second Gold record. I honestly didn’t expect this, and I am just so grateful for the fans that listen to my music,” Marlowe notes. “Thank you to Brinley, Joey, and Aaron for writing this song with me! Cheers y’all!”

Marlowe is set to kick off his headlining “We Were Cowboys” tour at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl on Sept. 8 with singer-songwriter Wyatt McCubbin as support on most dates. For a full list of upcoming dates, click here.

Steep Canyon Rangers Announce Aaron Burdett As Newest Member

Grammy award-winning group Steep Canyon Rangers has added North Carolina singer-songwriter Aaron Burdett as the newest member. Burdett started playing shows with the band in August and is now officially on board.

With top awards in multiple songwriting competitions hosted by the likes of Merlefest, The USA Songwriting Competition, Mountain Stage, the NC Songwriter’s Co-op and more, Burdett’s last four albums have been voted top 20 Albums of the Year by WNCW radio listeners.

“Aaron showed up on our radar late in the audition process, and we were all struck by the honesty and power of his music,” the band shares. “He arrives as an exceptional North Carolina artist in his own right, and our connection feels fresh and familiar at the same time. His talent as a singer and songwriter is already pushing the band to new heights.”

“I got the call out of the blue from SCR on a Monday morning a couple of months ago, and although I’d never imagined collaborating with them, the closer I looked at it, the better fit it seemed to be,” adds Burdett “As we’ve tested the waters and played gigs and traveled and hung out together, that feeling has only grown and solidified. It’s a dream come true to have an opportunity to play with musicians of this caliber and at this level. We already sound really good together, and I can’t wait to see where we are a year from now.”

Comprised of Graham Sharp (vocals/banjo), Mike Guggino (vocals/mandolin/mandola), Nicky Sanders (vocals/fiddle), Mike Ashworth (vocals/drums), Barrett Smith (vocals/bass) and Burdett (vocals/guitar), the band has a new album in the works and a full schedule of upcoming shows.
