Vincent Mason Slates Debut Album, ‘There I Go,’ For November
/by Lorie HollabaughVincent Mason will release his debut album, There I Go, on Nov. 7 via Interscope/MCA Nashville/Music Soup. To mark the news, Mason has shared a deeply personal new track, “Days Are Numbered.”
The road-worn anthem captures the relentless grind of chasing a passion, and was written by Mason alongside Chase McDaniel, Jessie Jo Dillon and Geoff Warburton. This album is a true coming-of-age soundtrack with Mason threading together moments of love, loss, and the fleeting joys that make it all worthwhile. Other writers contributing to the project include Devin Dawson, Lauren Hungate, Luke Laird and more.
“I was always a kid who liked to be very still,” recalls Mason. “My favorite question growing up was always ‘When can we go home?’ I’ve really been that way my whole life. Last year I put out a song called “Hell is a Dance Floor” and since then I haven’t really been home at all. The album There I Go is me learning how to live on the road.
“‘Days Are Numbered’ captures the two sides of the album and the tension that lies in between,” he continues. “There’s the kid in me that wants to stay home, and the side of me that can’t get enough of being out on the road playing shows. I thank God every day that I have the life that I do, and I wouldn’t trade it. “There I Go” is the through line that captures all the moments of my life since it changed last year.”
This fall, Mason will join Jordan Davis on tour across the country, including The Greek in Los Angeles, Radio City Music Hall in New York and Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado.
There I Go Track List:
1. “There I Go” (Vincent Mason and Jack Hummel)
2. “Little Miss” (Vincent Mason, Chase McDaniel, Ryan Beaver, Jared Keim)

Kenny Chesney To Celebrate Book Release With ‘Heart Life Music Tour’
/by Lauryn SinkKenny Chesney.
Kenny Chesney is celebrating the release of his book, Heart Life Music, with two book events and more to be announced soon. Chesney will return to East Tennessee State University on Nov. 1 before heading to Boston on Nov. 2. Chesney will be joined by two-time LA Press Club Music Critic and co-author Holly Gleason for the conversations.
“Having looked at my life in ways I never thought of,” shares Chesney. “I realized: I’ve always loved sports, music and the sea. But the idea I’d chase this dream came together in Johnson City, trying to learn Doc Watson picking from Jack Tottle, playing Quarterbacks and Chuckey’s, and going to Russia with East Tennessee State University’s Bluegrass Band. For me, going back to East Tennessee State University where all of this began was the only way to kick this book tour off. Hopefully, someone in the audience who’s wondering about their own dream might find what they need to get serious about whatever it is they’re chasing. Whether the friends I made in the islands long before this journey kicked into gear, Ginny Brophy who welcomed a kid with nothing going on at WKLB, the crazy fun with Grace Potter, sailing and more with Ethel Kennedy around the Nantucket Sound, conversations with the Globe’s Steve Morse or Super Bowls with Robert Kraft and his organization, there’s been something about the people of New England that recognizes the kid from East Tennessee in me. I like to say, ‘They believe me,’ but I think it’s more they know the same grit and passion that’s driven me and my team all these years.
Tickets for both events will go on sale Sept. 19 at 10 a.m. ET.
“Heart Life Music Tour” Dates:
Saturday, November 1
Location: East Tennessee State University Martin Center for the Arts in the ETSU Foundation Grand Hall
Time: 3:00pm
Bookseller: ETSU Bookstore
Sunday, November 2
Location: Back Bay Events Center
Time: 7:00pm

Clay Street Unit has signed a record deal with Leo33.
Formed in Denver, Clay Street Unit combines the country-folk traditions of the Appalachians with the bluegrass spirit of the Rocky Mountains. The band is comprised of mandolinist Scottie Bolin, bassist Jack Kotarba, banjo player Jack Cline, pedal steel guitarist Brad Larrison, drummer Brendan Lamb, and singer/guitarist/band leader Sam Walker.
“We’re honored to be signing with Leo33.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Clay Street Unit to the Leo33 roster,” adds President of Leo33, Katie Dean. “At our core, we’re music fans first, and the band embodies everything we love about great artistry – their songs are honest and relatable, and their live show creates an undeniable connection with audiences. We couldn’t be more excited to stand behind them and help share their artistic vision with the world.”
The band has gained attention globally with their A Mighty Fine Evening EP, and will release new music soon.
On The Row: Dax’s Journey Of Finding His Voice Through Writing

Dax recently stopped by the MusicRow offices to share his unconventional story of finding music.
MusicRow’s Lauryn Sink, Madison Hahnen & LB Cantrell, Dax, MusicRow’s Sherod Robertson & John Nix Arledge.
The Canadian-born rapper moved to the United States as a child and pursued basketball throughout his college career. Music wasn’t Dax’s first love, basketball was. But during a bus ride with his basketball team, he felt an unexpected urge to write. The poem he created that day ignited a new passion within him, leading him to commit to poetry at 22 years old. As a senior in college, that transitioned into songwriting.
“My songs come from things I’ve been through, things I’m trying to manifest, things I’m trying to avoid or things I’m trying to explain,” he shared.
Dax writes all of his songs alone, tailored to the life he’s lived.
“I just like writing. Some songs take me two days and some songs take me six months. I love to write alone, that’s what helps with my mental health.”
Some of his most recent work is inspired by his journey with alcohol. After his first year of touring, Dax realized that he was unable to go multiple days without drinking, and decided to challenge himself to change. His most recent track, “Man I Used To Be,” was released in August after six months without a drink.
With more music on the way, Dax will embark on his Lonely Dirt Road Tour this October. The run will travel to Texas, California, New York and more before wrapping in London, Ontario in November.
