The team at AristoWorks put together a slide show using images of the devastation in Haiti set to the song “More,” from Cherry Heart Records artist Ty Williams. The 24-year-old veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom wrote the song about the importance of giving to others.

Williams recently visited the MusicRow offices to meet the staff and perform an acoustic set.

The Virginia native’s debut single and video, “Barn On The Rooftop,” is out now on CMT Pure, and premiered on The Daily Buzz.

Williams’ EP is available on iTunes and his self-titled debut album is slated for release later this year.

Phil Vassar Releases New Album Today

vassPhil Vassar’s fifth studio album Traveling Circus hits streets today (12/15). Taking a very hands-on approach, he wrote or co-wrote every song, produced the album himself and hired his road band to play on it.

He wrote the current single “Everywhere I Go,” with Jeffrey Steele. The video has been added to rotation on CMT and GAC.

Universal Records South had originally planned the project for a February release, but moved up the street date in November.

Vassar is also giving a Christmas gift to his fans in the form of a free holiday download of Phil Vassar An Acoustic Christmas.
