You're Invited To: Perkins Publicity Takeover Writer's Round

The Nash News is excited to host a writer's round with Perkins Publicity and their roster of artists on Thursday, March 2nd from 6-9 p.m. at Assembly Food Hall in downtown Nashville. Artists playing include Becca Bowen, Dylan Jakobsen, Laurel Taylor, Matthew Wayne, Kate Cameron, Brady Lee, HALIE, Callum Kerr, Zac Hart, Ethan Payne, Carson Wallace, and Onoleigh. Get to know the artist's music below!

Becca Bowen

Becca Bowen's debut single, "Love It, Leave It," put her on the map within country music. Since then, Becca has released "Just Be You," "Home," and "Gunshots or Fireworks." In 2021, Becca participated in the Outdoor Channel's popular show For Love Or Likes, in which she came out the champion of the completion. Debuting in 2022, Becca released her single "Glitter" which received praise from The Nash News, Cowgirl Magazine, and Entertainment Tonight. The single debuted on Spotify's New Music Nashville editorial and has been supported for six consecutive weeks since its release. Later this year, Becca is set to release her debut project featuring songs from award-winning country artist Lee Brice, ACM nominated artists, Rebecca Lynn Howard, and Rachel Bradshaw.

Dylan Jakobsen

He's already been named "One to Watch” by Taste of Country, The Boot & Sounds Like Nashville. Stepping off the highs of a pre-pandemic 108-stop radio tour and an extensive, high-energy touring schedule spanning 45 states and 3 continents, the Washington native settled into his home studio just outside of Nashville, TN to begin recording what would become his next album. From artist to songwriter and multi-instrumentalist to producer, Jakobsen has always been one to do things his own way and into his new album Set Fire to the Night, he continues to prove himself as the outside thinker he strives to be. Set Fire to the Night is a bounding step into the climate of today's society, but with a positive outlook on the present times and how you have the power to remain in control of your own tomorrows. It's a theme you'll find engrained throughout the entirety of its track listing. Between the opening jangly guitars of “Beautiful” and the silver lining, state of mind lyrics found in “Don't Ya Think?” there's a radiating energy that shines through. Songs like “Get Back” and “Six” only prove to solidify the country rocker's stadium-like qualities and rhythmic flow that all comes to a cusp with the closing track “Into the Light."

Laurel Taylor

Laurel Taylor is a singer-songwriter and producer whose roots and influences of rock, country, and gospel blend together to give her a unique and edgy sound. She has toured around the world from small-town music festivals to the bars of Nashville to European tours. She has worked with and performed with a variety of artists including Lauren Daigle, Jason Crabb, Micah Tyler, Kutless, Sanctus Real, Rhett Walker, Diamond Rio, and CCR.

Matthew Wayne

Matthew Wayne is a rising country music artist who has been making music since the age of 5. Inspired by the movie "That Thing You Do," he quickly became a multi-instrumentalist, mastering the drums, piano, guitar, bass, and singing. Throughout his career, he has had the opportunity to work with some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Joey Fatone from NSYNC and Boyz II Men.

Kate Cameron

Equal parts soul, grit, and grace, Kate Cameron's distinct and unique vocal sound lands somewhere between her Boston roots and her Nashville idols. At times you hear her mirroring soul and rock vocalists such as Susan Tedeschi or Aerosmith yet she also has the singer-songwriter sensibilities of those like Taylor Swift and Miranda Lambert. In 2015 Kate graduated from Berklee College of Music, earning a Bachelor of Music focused on Songwriting. Her time at Berklee allowed her to refine her musical chops before taking on Music City. Kate has been working the Nashville music scene ever since relocating by releasing self-written and co-produced artist projects.

Brady Lee

Country-pop artist Brady Lee is a triple threat throughout the industry. As a songwriter, performer, and multi-instrumentalist, the rising artist has created a drive and hustle that showcases his talent along the way. In September of 2020, Brady Lee debuted into the country scene with his single “I Can Do This All Day” which debuted on Apple Country Hot Tracks and New In Country Editorial. In late 2020, the singer-songwriter signed an artist development deal with Sincerely Music Group (a division of Perkins Publicity). In June, Brady released his debut EP titled “Backyard Vacation” which reached Top #50 on the iTunes Country charts and was featured on Spotify's New Music Friday Country and Fresh Finds Country playlist.

HALIE

HALIE is a 22-year-old singer-songwriter hailing from Thayer, MO. HALIE moved to Nashville at 18 years old and has been there ever since. Writing music, playing shows, and modeling is what you would expect from this young artist. Although HALIE hasn't been in Nashville very long, she has already had a cut from a major recording country artist, Martina Mcbride. After traveling to LA, and winning NBC's Songland HALIE has found herself with a bit of a following. She also competed on the TV show American Song Contest representing the state of Missouri. She also has an older brother in Nashville who is a songwriter, Michael Tyler. Michael has written many songs that have gone number one on country radio. Michael is also a co-writer on her debut single “Love Too Much."

Callum Kerr

Callum Kerr is an actor/musician originally from Edinburgh, Scotland. After moving to Texas at 17, Callum has been splitting his time between Austin and London until recently, when he moved to Nashville. You can see Callum in the upcoming country music series Monarch (FOX), where he’ll play country music singer Wade Stellings. Callum is also currently working on releasing music here in Nashville.

Zac Hart

At only 23 years old, South-Eastern Kentucky native Zac Hart is an artist whose inevitable rise is already attracting the eyes and ears of country fans and beyond. A southern boy with a natural pop-sensibility, Zac's sound is truly one that sets him apart from many emerging country acts. A seasoned performer with an electrifying cadence, Zac pays homage to the mainstay country format without compromising his vision of where the genre is heading. Currently residing in Nashville, Zac has opened for touring artists such as Lee Brice, Travis Tritt, John Michael Montgomery, and more, as well as gracing some of country music's most prestigious stages, including the Midnite Jamboree at the Ernest Tubb Record Shop, featured stages at CMA Fest, and Katie Couric's TV Show in New York City for the airing of a special CMA Awards episode.

Ethan Payne

Ethan Payne is a Georgia-born and raised singer/songwriter whose belief in “living life to the fullest” is best exemplified by his honest storytelling style of country music. He appeared on the 17th season of American Idol on ABC-TV in the spring of 2019, where he reunited with Luke Bryan to perform a rendition of the Bryan hit “Do I." Ethan Payne's first post-American Idol single, "The Moon Over Georgia", was released on January 31, 2020 on all music streaming platforms, with "Luke's Guitar" arriving on March 27, 2020. More new music is on the way as Ethan Payne now spends much of his time in Nashville writing with hit songwriters which include Kent Blazy, Danny Myrick, JP Williams, Cole Taylor, Liz Hengber, and many others.

Carson Wallace

Carson Wallace reigns from a small town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Central California called Springville. At only nineteen, he takes pride in all that embodies the western lifestyle, with a sound and style that present a unique approach to country music, giving audiences a raw taste of life in his eyes and all it entails. That being said, he draws inspiration from a variety of genres, appreciating great art above all and working to portray that vision through his musical work.

Onoleigh

Onoleigh tilts her hat to the country classics while simultaneously being a breath of fresh air to the genre. Her sultry, yet powerful vocals compliment the lyrical depth in her music as she writes straight from her Illinoisan heart.
