Dallas, Texas-based Christian Country artist Stephanie “Lady Redneck” Lee is proud to announce the release of her new single, “Dreams Do Die Hard”, on June 16th. The song is a slow tempo, country song, written by Stephanie’s father.  The song previously earned him an Honorable Mention in a prestigious songwriting contest.

“This song is about watching dreams slip away,” Stephanie said. “I think everyone will be able to relate to it in one way or another. I think it’s good to talk about depression and sadness. Everyone feels it at some time, whether briefly or daily. I think one of the best ways to help someone deal with emotions like this is just to love them unconditionally without judgment.”

“Dreams Do Die Hard” is the follow-up single to another song her father wrote, “I Wonder About You”, which reached #17 on the UK ITunes country chart. The new single will be released on all major music platforms including iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music.

Dreams Do Die Hard

Stephanie Lee is also currently promoting the crowdfunding campaign for her Christian music album. Stephanie’s high energy performances and fun, tongue-in-cheek songs have earned her a loyal following, and her small-town roots and quirky personality have earned her the “Redneck” name that she proudly displays.

Billboard, the renowned music industry authority, has named Jason Crabb‘s performance with Gloria Gaynor as one of the six best moments during the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of the documentary, I Will Survive.

Billboard called the collaboration on “Singin’ Over Me”a ‘stunning duet’ and highlighted it and Crabb’s involvement with Gloria as some of the best moments during the event and film. The documentary features several minutes of Crabb’s involvement and recording sessions with Gaynor during the creation of her GRAMMY winning recording, Testimony. 

The performance took place during Gaynor’s mini-concert after the premiere and was a surprise to attendees during the Tribeca Film Festival on Friday, June 9, 2023.

The Betsy Schechter produced and directed documentary recounts Gloria Gaynor’s life while also chronicling her comeback journey. It is both a moving story of an artist’s resilience and a behind-the-scenes look at the music industry.

The Tribeca Film Festival, a prominent annual event that celebrates the best of independent cinema, showcased a diverse range of captivating films and memorable experiences. Crabb joined Gaynor at the film festival along with other celebrities such as Tracee Ellis Ross, Nick Jonas, Jon Hamm, Alicia Silverstone, Oscar De La Hoya, Mario Lopez, Mark Wahlberg, Milli Vanilli, and more.

Seven years ago, Jason Crabb was about to make his solo Carnegie Hall debut. Gloria Gaynor followed him on Twitter. Crabb did not believe it was her. He called his publicist to confirm her identity and then messaged the disco icon on Twitter and asked if she would like to be his guest at his Carnegie Hall debut. Gaynor responded “yes.” As they visited in the dressing room, she said it was a bucket list item for her to play Carnegie Hall, and Crabb couldn’t believe she had never played Carnegie Hall.

So, Crabb surprised her that night, and pulled her on stage to sing “Take My Hand, Precious Lord” with him. As a result, Crabb helped Gaynor check off an item on her bucket list. That was back on June 4, 2016. Now, seven years later – almost to the day – Crabb joined Gaynor at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Crabb is currently touring in support of his latest hit and EP, Good Morning Mercy.

Chart-topping Thoroughbred Records bluegrass ensemble Chosen Road joined a star-studded lineup of country artists, television personalities, and music icons for the 41st Annual Sunday Mornin’ Country, held last weekend at the Grand Ole Opry House.

Hosted by legendary entertainer Brenda Lee—GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Country Music Hall of Fame, and Rockabilly Hall of Fame—the event also featured performances by GRAMMY-winning co-founder of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, John McEuen; Platinum-selling country artist John Berry; Grand Ole Opry regulars Darin & Brooke Aldridge; and GRAMMY-nominated singer/songwriter Tim Menzies, among others.

Prior to the show, Chosen Road performed a special acoustic set in the Grand Ole Opry House lobby as attendees arrived. The band then stepped onto the Opry House stage for a rousing rendition of “Awake My Soul,” a newly penned standout track from their forthcoming June 23 release, It Never Gets Old. Chosen Road also joined the show’s acclaimed lineup for a powerful finale performance of the classic “Will The Circle Be Unbroken,” led by McEuen.

Sponsored by the Nashville-based nonprofit Music City Christian Fellowship, Sunday Mornin’ Country is the longest-running country/Gospel event held during CMA Fest. Through the years, the show has featured such iconic performers as The Oak Ridge Boys, Roy Acuff, Ricky Skaggs, Tammy Wynette, Roy Clark, and Vestal Goodman, among many others.

Gaynor and Crabb struck up an unlikely friendship several years ago due to a chance encounter on Twitter.

AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS –June 15, 2023 – Today, June 15th, Dutch singer-songwriter and music therapist, Harry Kappen, releases his new single “Not All Of Us Agreed”. This song is an indictment of the rapid development of new technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence, and the many questions it raises for human beings.

The lyrics of the song provide an avenue to think about our current and future interaction with technology. It questions the reality of the news we see, if we will one day communicate with our government only through robots, and whether humans will eventually turn into algorithms.

Harry Kappen is known for his thoughtful and profound lyrics, and this track is just the latest in a long line of emotionally charged songs. Last year, he released “Wargames”, an anti-war song in response to the Ukraine war. Early 2023 saw the release of “The Freedom Inside”, a song that is an invitation to individuals to consider the great global changes that are happening around them.

“Not All Of Us Agreed” by Harry Kappen is available across all streaming services on June 15th.

This week, GRAMMY Award-winner Brandon Lake shared the exciting news that he broke the global first day stream record on Amazon Music for a Christian artist single with “Praise You Anywhere.” The track dropped last week (June 10).

Dubbed “one of the most sought-after artists in the Christian genre” by MusicRow Magazine, Lake has been teasing the new tune to fans on social media resulting in over 2 million views and prompting him to release the track.

Serving as a prompt to turn to God no matter the situation and give him the praise he is worthy of, the new release features Lake’s bold vocals set to an addictive groove and drum-driven beat. Earlier this month, Lake took home 3 K-LOVE Fan Awards for Male Artist Of The Year, as well as Song Of The Year and Worship Song Of The Year for “Gratitude.”

He has also partnered with K-LOVE for their K-LOVE First promotion where they play the song on-the-hour for 8 hours straight.

“This song is about turning to PRAISE in and out of every season,” shares Lake. “There are times when we’re surrounded by storms, and times when we’re living in immense blessing…. We light God’s heart up when we simply PRAISE no matter what we’re facing.

Your situation might not change, but choosing to praise, will change your perspective! This will get your eyes off a storm, and onto God. I hope as you listen to this song and choose to praise, you’re encouraged, and your faith is lifted!”

Seven-time GRAMMY-winner TobyMac’s latest radio single, “Cornerstone (feat. Zach Williams)”  has hit No.1 on both Billboard AC Monitored and Mediabase AC Published charts this week. The track also grabbed the top spot on the Mediabase Activator Chart last week and continues to hold on to No. 1 now for two weeks. PEOPLE.com premiered the music video for the track, which upon release, received 56 adds, making it Capitol CMG’s most added song of 2023.

“This song was birthed at my firstborn’s funeral service. A broken man, I looked my family in the eyes and said, ‘We have to rebuild. Our hearts have been shattered into a thousand pieces,’” he told PEOPLE. “We cannot build on the promises of this world. They will let us down every time. We have to build on the promises of God. We have to build our lives on the solid rock, the cornerstone.”
