Parmalee have achieved their fifth No. 1 single with hit track “Gonna Love You.” This milestone marks the band’s fourth consecutive chart-topper.

“Having ‘Gonna Love You’ go No. 1 is special in so many ways,” the band shares. “We took a shot with a song completely different from the previous three (we released), and it really connected. Also, this was the song we needed to help tell our story and ultimately film the music video. As difficult as it was on the video set, it was a way to move on, and now we can all celebrate this song and how far we’ve come.”

The band showcased their hit earlier this year with performances on Good Morning America and The Kelly Clarkson Show. They also recently announced their upcoming “Fell In Love With A Cowgirl Tour” featuring special guest Avery Anna which kicks off in Madison, WI on Feb. 13.

“With new music coming early next year, there is energy and excitement around us and our whole team,” says lead singer Matt Thomas. “We wanted to bring that energy to our fans as soon as we could, so we decided to do a headline tour starting in February 2025. We’ll bring the party back to some of the cities we played on the Kane Brown tour as well as some cities we’ve never been to. Can’t wait to kick off 2025 with the Parmlee Famalee.”

Tickets for the “Fell In Love With A Cowgirl Tour” are on sale now.

Truth or Dare Records, Management and Publishing, along with Amped Entertainment, have rebranded and unified under the name Truth or Dare Music. The multi-functional company is led by A&R veteran Missi Gallimore and Grammy-winning producer Byron Gallimore.

Late last year, Truth or Dare Music hired veteran songwriter and advocate Steve Bogard as Chief Operating Officer. With multiple No. 1 hits across four decades and 23 PRO awards under his belt, Bogard is the longest-serving President in the history of Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI), serving 13 terms before stepping down at the end of 2023. During his tenure, he was a driving force behind the passage of the Music Modernization Act.

“My goal was to organized publishing administration, business management and an already great staff into a well-oiled machine that moves the needle for our artists and writers,” Bogard shares of joining Truth or Dare Music. “We honor and protect the value of creatives and their work. Missi and our team’s tireless work ethic and ‘out of the box’ thinking have us poised for an exciting future.”

In addition to Bogard, Truth or Dare Music has added Samantha Fisher as Publishing A&R Director.

Fisher joins the company after leading her own writer management company for six years, where she secured cuts for Tim McGraw, Jake Owen, Quavo/Lana Del Ray and many others. Her over 17 years in the industry includes time spent in artist management, concert booking and marketing, as well as a role working with JT Harding at Mighty Seven Songs Publishing.

At Truth or Dare, Fisher handles day to day publishing operations for the roster, which includes Abbey Cone, Sam Williams, KK Johnson, Ben Roberts and Austin Williams.

Alana Springsteen will release her latest EP, Alana Springsteen: Live From NPR’s Tiny Desk, this Friday (Dec. 6) via Columbia Records/Sony Music Nashville.

The four song EP was recorded live during Springsteen’s appearance on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series this past August. Tracks include “Ghost In My Guitar” and “Twenty Something” from her three-part debut album Twenty Something, alongside newly released single “Hot Honey” and unreleased song “Feels Good.”

“Being invited to play Tiny Desk by Robin [Hilton] and the team at NPR Music will forever be a highlight of my life,” says Springsteen. “The fact that they connected with my songs enough to want me to play for them means the world. I love the feeling of performing without relying on anything but myself and my band. There’s something so special about delivering songs that way and we don’t see that enough anymore.

“That’s why it was so important for me to put this out as a project, as perfectly imperfect as it is,” she continues. “I’m so proud to be able to be creative with these musicians and am so grateful for their talent. The real stars of this performance are Alec Parrish, Gideon Klein, Daniel Cooper and Josh Beatty.”
