Songwriter and producer Logan Turner has signed with Symphonic Music Publishing.
A former member of the band Bexar, Turner has collaborated with and had songs recorded by Russell Dickerson, Cheat Codes, Keith Urban, Kane Brown, Martin Garrix, Dasha, Diplo and Jelly Roll.
The Bowling Green, Kentucky native first taught himself to play guitar after an injury derailed his dreams of playing college basketball. While writing songs throughout college, he decided to move to Nashville. Nearly a year after arriving, Turner signed his first publishing deal with Urban, Ross Copperman and Joe Fisher. Shortly after, he was introduced to his future bandmate and signed a deal as Bexar with Warner Music Nashville. After four years, Turner stepped away from the band to fully focus on songwriting and production.
He amassed over 50 million streams during his time with Bexar and toured with Urban, Jelly Roll and Niko Moon. He has also worked with producers and songwriters like Oak Felder, J-Hart, Ojivolta, Murda Beatz, Luke Laird and more.
“Logan is an incredible songwriter and producer who has already achieved tremendous success both on his own and as a member of Bexar,” says Randall Foster, Chief Creative Officer, Symphonic Music Publishing. “I’ve always been impressed by his work and couldn’t be happier that he decided to join the Symphonic family. With our help, there’s no telling how far he’ll go!”
“I feel super excited and blessed to be taking this next step of my career with Symphonic,” says Turner. “Eric [Olson] was one of my first co-writers when I first got to Nashville, and he has always been someone I’ve looked up to and respected both as a producer and as a person. He, Randall and Melissa [Barber] have already made this place feel like home. I am looking forward to helping them build something special.”

RVSHVD Shares New Single From Upcoming Project
/by Lorie HollabaughRVSHVD has dropped his new single, “Couldn’t Be Me,” from his upcoming album, It’s Rashad, due out Sept. 20.
The new tune was co-penned by Clint Johnson, Rob Pennington and Ben Simonetti and finds the Georgia native spiraling at the thought of another man with the woman he loves. “Couldn’t Be Me” follows RVSHVD’s July release “Proof,” a collaboration with All That Remains that has racked up nearly 500,000 streams on Spotify alone in just a few weeks.
It’s Rashad is fueled by stories the artist has accumulated from his small-town origins and his life-changing experiences as a touring artist. It also offers some personal introspection on tracks like “Drowning Man” and “Wasn’t For You.”
“I moved to Nashville in 2021, new to everything as a professional artist,” says RVSHVD. “Everyone always asks me about how to say my stage name, who I am, where I’m from, but I’m introverted so it’s a challenge sometimes. I’ve always put what I wanted to say in music, so I spent three years learning how to put myself out there. Once I did that, I knew I was ready to make a project for not only everyone who’s always asked, but my fans who wanted to get to know me more. I titled it It’s Rashad to show how to pronounce my name and to show what songs and sounds make me who I am, ‘Rashad.'”
It’s Rashad Track Listing:
1.Intro (RVSHVD, Michael Ferrucci, Christopher Valenzuela)
2. The 9 (RVSHVD)
3. For The Streets (RVSHVD, Michael Ferrucci, Christopher Valenzuela)

Nate Smith Announces Sophomore Album ‘California Gold’
/by Lorie HollabaughPhoto: Kaiser Cunningham
Nate Smith will release his sophomore album, California Gold, on Oct. 4. The project features new track “Fix What You Didn’t Break,” out now.
“I’ve always been a huge fan of big epic pop-rock songs of the 2000s, says Smith of the single. “Bands like Lifehouse, Goo Goo Dolls, 3 Doors Down were all influences in my early teens. ‘Fix What You Didn’t Break,’ to me, feels like the perfect blend of 2000s rock and heartfelt country. I want to make love songs that cut deep but are still tough. I teamed up with the same crew that wrote ‘World On Fire’ with me: Ashley Gorley, Lindsay Rimes and Taylor Philips. This is easily one of my favorites that I’ve released. It’s a bit of a theme song for this new project.”
The 16-track album will also include previously-released track “Wish I Never Felt,” collaborations with Avril Lavigne and Alesso, along with Gold-certified “Bulletproof,” which broke records this week and scored Smith his third consecutive multi-week No. 1 on the Mediabase chart—making him the first artist to start their career with three consecutive multi-week No. 1s in R&R/Mediabase history.
Additionally, Smith is gearing up for his “Through The Smoke Tour,” which kicks off in Portland on Sept. 19 and ends in Nashville on Dec. 5.
California Gold Track Listing:
1. “Fix What You Didn’t Break”
2. “Want Me Back”
3. “What Alone Looks Like”
4. “Can You Die From A Broken Heart” (with Avril Lavigne)
5. “Perfect”

Jelly Roll Slates New Album For October
/by John Nix ArledgeJelly Roll has unveiled the follow-up to his chart-topping country debut, Whitsitt Chapel. Titled Beautifully Broken, the new album arrives on Oct. 11 and shares its name with his upcoming headlining tour kicking off Aug. 27 in Salt Lake City.
This release comes shortly after Jelly Roll extended his current label partnership with BBR Music Group (BBRMG), BBRMG imprint Stoney Creek Records and BMG music publishing. BMG has simultaneously entered into a worldwide deal with Republic Records for this record.
The album features current hit “I Am Not Okay” alongside “Liar” and “Get By,” which was recently chosen as ESPN’s anthem for the 2024 College Football season. Fans can pre-order the album now, with all net profits from pre-orders in the U.S. web store going to charities supporting mental health and addiction initiatives as a part of the project’s launch.
After teasing the album on Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this summer, Jelly Roll further discussed the album, his connection with fans and his continued desire to find purpose in a recent interview with the New York Times Magazine.
His track “I Am Not Okay,” co-written by Jelly Roll, Taylor Phillips, Ashley Gorley and Casey Brown, continues to resonate with listeners and follows his fourth consecutive No. 1 at country radio and 5th career No. 1, including his Grammy-nominated multi-week No. 1, “Save Me.”
After its launch later this month, the “2024 Beautifully Broken Tour” will include stops at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Center and New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
