For Tenille Townes, stepping into independence didn’t begin with clarity, it began with uncertainty. But on the other side of that uncertainty, she’s found something far more meaningful: creative freedom.
With the release of her new album the acrobat, Townes enters a defining new chapter, one marked by vulnerability, self-trust and a return to her artistic core.
“I feel like I’ve reached the liberating side of freedom now,” Townes tells MusicRow. “It’s been a winding journey to get to this feeling.”
After years within the traditional label system, Townes admits the initial transition to independence was disorienting. Writing and recording the acrobat became a form of healing, one that allowed her to quiet outside expectations and rediscover her own voice. “This record was very much a return to my creative autonomy,” she explains.
That return has been met with overwhelming support. A vinyl-first launch aimed at dedicated listeners quickly exceeded expectations, selling out its initial goal within an hour.
The album’s title serves as both metaphor and mission statement. For Townes, the acrobat represents the courage required to step into the unknown, especially when it means breaking long-held patterns.
“It’s about returning to that courage inside yourself and taking that leap again,” she says. “And also putting aside people-pleasing tendencies.” 
The concept was born from a song she co-wrote with Lori McKenna, one of Townes’ longtime songwriting heroes. Writing from the perspective of a character allowed her enough distance to tell deeper emotional truths, truths that ultimately became the backbone of the entire project.
Townes’ connection with McKenna traces back more than a decade, to her first trip to Nashville. Townes saw McKenna play a round at the Bluebird Cafe, and it left a lasting impression. Years later, that admiration evolved into friendship, mentorship, and eventually collaboration. McKenna not only co-wrote the title track but also lends her voice to it, an addition Townes describes as deeply meaningful.
Townes self-produced the entire album from her home studio, playing instruments and handling the mix herself. The result is intentionally raw and unpolished. Recorded largely on a single microphone, the project leans into its imperfections, creating a live, intimate listening experience.
“All these lead vocals are untuned,” she says. “I just sang it until the emotion felt right.”
The album wasn’t initially intended to be self-produced. What began as simple demo recordings evolved organically into the final product. “I didn’t set out to produce this whole record,” she admits. “But I’m really proud of how it ended up.”
The emotional center of the acrobat lies in its honesty. The song “enabling,” which Townes describes as the starting point for the record, emerged from a deeply personal moment.
“It was really hard to say those things out loud,” she says, recalling a relationship dynamic she recognized in real time. Writing the song allowed her to pause, reflect, and begin untangling those patterns.
From that starting place of turmoil, the album gradually moves toward healing and release. Themes of vulnerability, surrender, and the fleeting nature of time weave throughout the project, from reflections on changing relationships to a poignant song inspired by her great-grandmother’s experience with Alzheimer’s (“she plays the piano”).
Beyond McKenna, Townes also enlisted the folk trio I’m With Her for a collaboration on “grey like Emmylou,” a song inspired in part by Emmylou Harris. The track explores a theme not often addressed in songwriting, the ending of friendships and the evolution of relationships over time.
As the album neared completion, Townes felt something was missing. That missing piece arrived in the form of “we could use a little more,” written in response to the heaviness and division she was seeing in the world.
“I really believe that the love that we’re made of is so much bigger than all of that,” she says. The song became the final addition, and the emotional anchor the project needed.
At its core, the acrobat is about returning to instinct, to truth, and to self. For Townes, making the record was transformative.
“It felt like it helped me find my way back home to myself,” she says. “An I want the record to to help somebody feel a little less alone, that’s always my biggest mission with music.”
And for artists considering their own leap into independence, Townes shared: “Trust yourself. It’s so easy to get caught up in the opinions of others, but all of that has to be secondary to what feels true to your compass.”

Jo Dee Messina is releasing her first new album in over a decade, Bridges, on June 5.
The second single from the new album, “Don’t Let Them Hide Your Beautiful,” is out now and follows last month’s release of “Some Bridges.” Co-written with Blessing Offor and David Spencer, “Don’t Let Them Hide Your Beautiful,” reckons with the growing pains of pushing back against unrealistic expectations, delivering a clear-eyed takedown of the pressure to conform.
“I want to give people hope instead of tearing them down – I want to encourage them to shine,” Messina says. “I’ve walked that road and felt that burn. I know the heartache of trying to be who others expect you to be.”
Messina will head out on tour this month beginning April 24 with dates in Indiana, Virginia, Ohio, Idaho, Connecticut and many more before wrapping Nov. 6 at the Truth in Nashville.

Aubory Bugg has inked with Dualtone Records.
An Illinois native, Bugg began performing at a young age. In 2024, she began posting covers on Tiktok and garnered over 110,000 new followers from a viral cover of Reneé Rapp’s “Tummy Hurts.” Now based in Nashville, Bugg has earned over 187k TikTok followers and is currently on tour with Courtney Marie Andrews. She makes her label debut today with the release of new single “i think i had something once.”
“Aubory is so immensely gifted in her songwriting and vocal abilities, and her work ethic is like nothing I’ve ever seen,” shares Whitaker Elledge, President of Dualtone Records. “She walked into the Dualtone office with an acoustic guitar and played two songs — it was like a bygone era of the record business — Rachel [Wein], Daniel [Higbee] and I looked at each other said ‘we’ve got to work with her.’ We are the lucky ones to have crossed paths with a preternatural talent like Aubory, and we’re thrilled to partner up on this exciting new chapter.”
“Aubory is the full package,” adds Wein. “She is a skilled vocalist, a seasoned live player, and an incredible storyteller. Aubory moves with a quiet confidence that feels rare to witness in someone so young. She is a student of her craft and genuine talent. We couldn’t be happier to welcome Aubory into this next era of Dualtone Records.”
Bugg is represented by agents Brian Greenwood, Cal Rawlings, Summer Marshall and Beth Morton of CAA. She is managed by James Delgado and Conor ODonohoe of Full Circle Management, and Doug Hall of Big Feat PR serves as her publicist.
“We’re ecstatic to have found a label home for Aubory as passionate and daring as Dualtone,” says Delgado. “Aubory is a generational songwriter, and we believe Dualtone is best-in-class not only at breaking artists, but at building long, storied careers.”
DISClaimer Single Reviews: Dan + Shay Share ‘Heartfelt Message’
/by Robert K OermannDan + Shay. Photo: Robby Klein
It’s “Duo Day” at DISClaimer.
This collection of collaborations demonstrates that there is strength in numbers. It’s a growing trend, and you’ll hear why.
The Disc of the Day belongs to Dan + Shay. The Irish husband and wife team of Kirwan is our DISCovery Award act of the day.
BRAXTON KEITH & TYLA RODRIGUES / “Do I Ever Cross Your Mind”
Writer: Dolly Parton; Producer: none listed; Label: Warner Records Nashville
– We turn to Oz for this refreshing oldie revival. Keith has been touring there, and Rodrigues is an Aussie up-and-comer. He is one of my favorite new honky-tonk stylists, and she’s quite a country belter, herself. They make quite a team.
BILLY RAY CYRUS & NOAH CYRUS / “On Our Way Along”
Writer: Braison Cyrus; Producers: Braison Cyrus, Ryan Rasmussen; Label: Billion Streams Entertainment
– Billy Ray croaks his way through this slow, moody contemplation. His barely-there singing is accompanied by daughter Noah’s soft, almost buried “echo” vocal. A dense, electronic soundscape backs them. Pass.
DAILEY & VINCENT / “Moon Shines on the Still”
Writers: Bill Whyte/Laura Leigh Jones Robertson; Producer: none listed; Label: DV
– These bluegrass superstars unleash a torrent of rhythm on this rapid-fire salute to backwoods moonshiners. The thrilling tenor vocals are augmented by dazzling mandolin, banjo and guitar runs. An absolute audio delight.
DAN + SHAY / “Say So”
Writers: Dan Smyers/David Hodges/Jimmy Robbins/Shay Mooney; Producers: Dan Smyers, Scott Hendricks; Label: Warner Records Nashville
– Lushly melodic and beautifully produced, this is a heartfelt message of suicide prevention. Kudos for an outstanding performance as well as for the team’s social consciousness.
MO PITNEY & JAKE WORTHINGTON / “Wake Up and Smell the Country”
Writers: Mo Pitney/Wyatt McCubbin; Producers: Jim “Moose” Brown, Mo Pitney; Label: Curb Records
– Rollicking, twangin’ and steel soaked. Both men are stone-country stylists. Together, they’re hard to beat. Naturally, Merle Haggard and George Jones are name checked.
JENNA PAULETTE & JOHN MORGAN / “The Dirt”
Writers: Hillary Lindsey/Jenna Paulette/John Morgan/Will Bundy; Producer: Will Bundy; Label: Leo33
– Working-class romance becomes duet nirvana as these two match voices. Paulette’s penetrating lead voice is joined by a note-perfect harmony vocal by Morgan. It’s a super-strong song of lasting love made even stronger via this collaboration. Play this on repeat.
KIRWAN THE BAND & CLAY WALKER / “Detours”
Writers: Caitriona Maria Kirwan/Colm James Kirwan/Matthew Craig Johnson; Producer: Matthew Craig Johnson; Label: Kirwan Music Group
– Uplifting, encouraging and stirring. The husband-wife Kirwan duo carries this message of hope and resilience with a rumbling backbeat. Walker chimes in, but this is the Irish team’s record all the way. Recommended.
THELMA & JAMES / “Alternate Ending”
Writers: Jake Etheridge/Josh Jenkins/MacKenzie Porter/Maggie Chapman; Producer: Lonas; Label: Big Loud Records
– This young pair is currently opening for Luke Combs on tour. They have a charming sound with his heartbroken tenor blending with her aching soprano harmony. The churning, rhythm-happy track contrasts with the song’s downbeat tale. I was totally taken in by this performance. “James” is Jake Etheridge, and “Thelma” is Mackenzie Porter.
SKIP EWING & MAE ESTES / “Stronger Where You’re Broken”
Writer: Skip Ewing; Producers: Bryan Sutton, F. Reid Shippen, Skip Ewing; Label: Write! Records
– Veteran Ewing and newcomer Estes sound splendid together on this tempo tune of encouragement. It helps that he is such a masterful songwriter. She harmonizes with soft strength and perfectly placed ad libs. She should have been louder in the mix.
AVERY ANNA & SAM BARBER / “Fear in God”
Writers: Avery Anna/Sam Barber; Producer: David Fanning; Label: Warner Records Nashville
– This is the lead track of Avery Anna’s new EP. Its drowsy pace, meandering melody and muddy-sounding rock guitar don’t sound very “country.”
JESSE & NOAH / “On Again, Off Again”
Writer: Noah Bellamy; Producers: Jesse Bellamy, Noah Bellamy; Label: Usonia
– These two are the sons of David Bellamy of The Bellamy Brothers. On this honky-tonk ballad they’re joined by Tess Frizzell, who is the daughter of Shelly West & Allen Frizzell and the granddaughter of Dottie West. The pedigrees show: Both Noah and Tess display effortless grace in their vocal performance. Check out the video: It was shot at Hank Snow’s old Rainbow Ranch digs in Madison.
WILSON FAIRCHILD / “Lean On Me”
Writer: Bill Withers; Producer: Michael Sykes; Label: Gaither Music Group
– And speaking of second-generation acts, these fellows are also the children of country royalty. They are Wil Reid and Langdon Reid, the sons of Harold Reid and Don Reid of The Statler Brothers. True to their heritage, their countrified take on this Bill Withers classic is drenched in multi-part harmonies. This is a superb single. You’ll be singing along by the time they get to the penultimate, hand-clapped chorus.
MARCUS HUMMON & LEVI HUMMON / “Bless the Broken Road”
Writers: Bobby Boyd/Jeff Hanna/Marcus Hummon; Producer: Marcus Hummon; Label: 3686 RECORDS
– Papa Marcus and son Levi have been performing this classic together at various get-togethers. Their version is eloquently lovely, infused with sincerity and intimacy. Levi’s perfect tenor lead is accompanied solely by Marcus’s rippling piano work and low-harmony vocal blend. This is an acoustic jewel that warms the spirit and tugs at the heart.

Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors’ ‘Tennessee’ Named An Official State Song
/by Lorie HollabaughDrew Holcomb. Photo: Tabitha Gould
Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors’ song “Tennessee” has been designated as an official Tennessee State Song.
The song received the designation following unanimous passage through both the Tennessee House and Senate and was signed into law by Governor Bill Lee. Drew Holcomb performed the song live on the House Floor at the Tennessee State Capitol on Monday (April 6.)
Holcomb’s Tennessee roots run deep. Born and raised in Memphis, he studied in Knoxville before planting roots in Nashville, and brought his beloved Moon River Music Festival from Memphis to Chattanooga, where it continued to draw fans from across the country. Holcomb and his wife Ellie have also been featured in a Tennessee tourism campaign, making the “Tennessee” designation a natural extension of a story already deeply woven into the state’s identity.
“I am beyond humbled that the state of Tennessee has chosen my song as an official state song,” says Holcomb. “It is an honor I could not have imagined as a young kid learning to play the guitar in Memphis, or as a college student in Knoxville playing my first concerts, or even now, years into my career in Nashville as a traveling singer/songwriter. This song was written when we were still a young band touring the country in a conversion van, playing shows all over the country, often homesick, thinking of getting back to this place we love. Everywhere we go, people ask for this song, regardless of where they are from. At the end of the day, it’s a song about home, and my beloved home is here in Tennessee.”
With his band, The Neighbors, Holcomb has released ten albums over the past two decades, including Strangers No More Volume Two (2024) and Strangers No More (2023), amassing more than 400,000 albums sold and over 500 million global streams. Known for making each show a celebration of community, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors create a powerful sense of togetherness, exemplified by their No. 1 Americana single “Find Your People.”
