3 Doors Down

In order to know where you’re headed, you have to recognize where you’re from. So when it came time to begin working on their sixth full-length album, Us And The Night [Republic Records], Grammy Award®-nominated multiplatinum Mississippi rock band 3 Doors Down channeled a familiar feeling.

“We all missed the excitement of making our first album,” says singer Brad Arnold. “As you continue creating records, it can become sort of mechanical, and you start taking everything too seriously. However, for Us And The Night, we were all on the same page about just wanting to have a good time in the studio. That created a great vibe. I don’t think we’ve ever felt this unified as a band in our entire career. That’s why the album sounds like it does.”

In late 2014, 3 Doors Down—Brad Arnold [lead vocals], Chris Henderson [lead and rhythm guitar], Greg Upchurch [drums], Chet Roberts [lead and rhythm guitar], and Justin Biltonen [bass]— wrapped up a marathon of touring that included the cycles for 2011’s Time of My Life, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200, and The Greatest Hits, a year later. Along the way, they welcomed Chet and Justin into the fold in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Us And The Night would make for their first studio experience together and formally open up a new chapter for the group.

“The creativity between the five of us hadn’t been tapped yet,” explains Chris. “That made the whole process really interesting because everybody was bringing different ideas to the table. The boundaries totally opened up. Chet and Justin kept pushing and pushing, and none of us wanted to stop.”

The guys holed up in Chris’s own Rivergate Studios in Nashville, TN and dove into extremely collaborative sessions—which even saw Greg writing for the first time. As a result, the sonic palette started to expand with producer Matt Wallace [Maroon 5, Train, Faith No More] behind the board.

“Matt was a great coach,” continues Chris. “We got out of our comfort zone and started to approach the music from a different angle. We’d use synths or try different styles of riffs. That made everybody a little uncomfortable in the best way. It really worked.”

“This couldn’t be just another 3 Doors Down record,” adds Brad. “It needed to be an album that made people take a second look and listen.”

That’s exactly what the first single “In The Dark” does. With a raucous, raw, and rowdy riff, the track shows an unexpected and undeniable side of the band, culminating during the chorus, “She likes to do it in the dark.”

“We’ve never had a sexy, playful song,” smiles Brad. “There was definitely a place for it. It’s about seeing that girl across the room. I initially played the idea for my wife, and she smiled, ‘I like that.’ I knew we had to go for it!”

“Living In Your Hell” teeters between a drum stomp and robust guitars before an arena-size refrain. “It’s about broken promises,” Brad goes on. “So many people tell you they have your back, and it’s just lie. You end up living in hell from their broken promises.”

Meanwhile, “The Broken” delivers an immediately unshakable chant complete with gang vocal, handclaps, and a swinging synth melody. “It’s a call to the youth,” exclaims the singer. “It’s not about taking everything down; it’s about building everything up. This is an empowering call-to-arms for the next generation to take back the world. Use your voice.”

3 Doors Down first found their own voice in 1995. It’s only gotten louder over the past two decades. Everything kicked off with their 2000 debut, The Better Life. The album went six-times platinum and introduced the world to their now-classic “Kryptonite.” Their fan base continued to grow with 2002’s triple-platinum Away from the Sun—which yielded the smashes “When I’m Gone” and “Here Without You.” Both 2005’s platinum-certified Seventeen Days and 3 Doors

Down [2008] bowed at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 followed by Time of My Life’s #3 debut in 2011. In between countless sold out shows, the guys notched three Grammy Award® nods, scored two American Music Awards, and received a total of five BMI Pop Awards, including an award for Brad for BMI “Songwriter of the Year.”

2003 saw the group begin a tradition of giving back in a big way with the launch of their The Better Life Foundation [TBLF]. The organization has lived up to its name by giving as many children as possible a better life and supporting Center of the Prevention of Child Abuse, Habitat for Humanity, and various other charities. Its annual concert has hosted everyone from Lynyrd Skynyrd and Sara Evans to Staind, Shinedown, and Alter Bridge.

Unified, unbreakable, and undeniable, 3 Doors Down remain poised for their boldest moment yet. This promise even stands encapsulated within the very title.

“Us And the Night means, ‘Let’s just keep going until it’s just us left,’” Brad leaves off. “It’s an ‘us against them’ song. The world’s problems don’t have to stop us. Let’s forget about them, stop worrying, and enjoy the ride together. It’s an invitation to fans everywhere to do the same.”

LOCASH

LOCASH is a Country music duo made up of singer-songwriters Chris Lucas and Preston Brust, natives of Baltimore, Maryland, and Indianapolis, Indiana, respectively. With a sound that fuses modern Country and classic heartland Rock with an edgy vocal blend, the independently-minded partners are revered as “one of Nashville’s hardest-working acts” (Rolling Stone) whose live show “has consistently been among the most energetic and entertaining in the country music genre” (Billboard). With two albums and eight charting singles to their credit, LOCASH broke out in 2015 with their gracious GOLD-certified hit, “I Love This Life," followed by the flirtatious GOLD-certified #1 smash, “I Know Somebody” – their first trip to the top of the Country radio airplay charts – and 2017’s fun-loving romantic anthem “Ring On Every Finger.” All three singles were part of their Reviver Records album debut, THE FIGHTERS, which was released in the summer of 2016 to Top 15 success. The follow up to THE FIGHTERS is expected in 2018, with the forthcoming album’s first single “Don’t Get Better Than That” available now on all digital platforms. As songwriters, Lucas and Brust have scored two undeniable hits (Keith Urban’s #1 “You Gonna Fly” in 2011 and Tim McGraw’s PLATINUM-certified “Truck Yeah” in 2012). In 2017, they earned their first round of awards show recognition, nominated at the ACM Awards for New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year, the CMT Music Awards for Duo Video of the Year (“I Know Somebody”), and the CMA Awards for Vocal Duo of the Year.

Jagged Edge

Jagged Edge represents R & B as a group that records timeless classics. Jagged Edge (JE) is made of identical twin brothers Brandon and Brain Casey, Kyle Norman and Richard Wingo. Coming from gospel roots, they have always been fans of groups like Take 6, The Winans and Commissioned. Their R&B favorites include, New Edition, Boys II Men and Jodeci.

Kyle, the visionary behind the group, knew there was something great about the twins when he continued to observe a crowd around them each time they sung. He convinced them to join his youth choir at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church shortly thereafter they formed TwinAK. JE initially signed with Michael Bivens under his Biv Ten label however, due his roster at the time, the group was released. The result was TwinK as the fourth member left to pursue other options. The guys were introduced to Kandi Buress (formerly of R&B group X-scape), who suggested Richard Wingo as an additional member.

Richard joined and the quartet became Jagged Edge. Kandi took the group to Jermaine Dupree, in 1995 and after an acapella performance they were signed to So So Def Records.

In 1997 they released “The Way That You Talk, “featuring appearances by both Dupri and rapper, Da Brat. The single entered the top 40 pop charts. It was followed up with their first album, A Jagged Era, in 1998. The album went gold and produced the Top 20 R&B and Top 40 pop hit, “Gotta Be.”

Follow-up album, J.E Heartbreak solidified JE’s place in R&B music history, with 4 hit singles, the album topped the R&B and Pop charts, selling over 2million copies. The album is most famous for number one R&B hits such as “Let’s Get Married “ and “Promise.” Both singles skyrocketed up the Top 10 pop charts and lived there for weeks. Winning five Billboard Awards and two Soul Train Awards, including Best R&B/Soul Album and Best Single for “Let’s Get Married.”

Jagged little Thrill was released in the summer of 2001. The Lead single “Where the Party At (featuring Nelly),” reached platinum status within 4 weeks and the group was nominated for their first Grammy and resulted in their second multi-platinum album.

These successes were followed by the release of gold selling projects, Hard in 2003 and self-titled, Jagged-Edge in 2006. In 2007, the group released The Baby Makin’ Project on Island Def Jam. The album debuted #8 in the US Billboard 200 charts, selling 78,000 in the first week.

Their next album, The Remedy, is set for release in the Summer, 2010. The new project boasts a mix of the old and new sexy R&B sound and contemporary beats. While the album also features collaborations with Gucci Man, Rick Ross and Trina, The Remedy represents the classic sound that remains in the group. Having sold 8 million records, the group is poised to move into the next decade as a classic R&B quartet.
