“Red Fire Night”
- great
for those going out to a bonfire - Marie Crichton BBC
Radio Shropshire
Home Town: Ft.
Worth Texas
Members: Josh
Jenkins (vocals, acoustic guitar), Jamey Ice (electric guitar, banjo,
mandolin), Joshua Wilkerson (electric guitar, keys, background vocals), Geoff
Ice (bass, harmonica, background vocals), Denton Hunker (drums)
Genre:
Alternative Pop/Rock with a Southern twist
On Sept 22
Green River Ordinance premiered their new single, “Red Fire Night” (Residence Music)
on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. This song is the group’s first single
off their forthcoming album, “FIFTEEN,” due out January 22, 2016.
The single was
sent to radio on October 27, 2015 with an Impact Date: November 2, 2015.
Pre-Order for ‘Fifteen’
peaked in Top 10 on US iTunes Country Chart and “Red Fire Night”
received over 55,000 plays on SPOTIFY within it’s first month.
In the years
since, although they have stayed fairly low on the public’s radar, the group
has continued to make solid pieces of work—most recently their 2013 album
CHASING DOWN THE WIND.
Blurb: “Red Fire Night” is a great place to start. This song embodies the vibe and talent the artists showcase in all their work. As soon as it begins, “Red Fire Night” feels show-ready; the band opens the song with their rich vocals (sans instrumentals) almost as an invite for listeners to raise their whisky-filled cups and sing along. From the get-go, it’s clear that this single is an end of summer anthem and a true feel-good song about getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city and living in the moment—‘There’s a magic when that west wind blows/ it’s even better with a little George Jones/ lost track of time, some time ago/ man, don’t it feel all right/ out here where the stars shine bright.’
Despite it
being a happy-go-lucky song in a sea of simple, upbeat tunes that have hit the
airwaves recently, “Red Fire Night” feels refreshing amidst the redundancy of
today’s country. The song takes a sharp detour away from pop-country and
instead delves into classic country and blue-grass roots with its organic
sounds and use of instruments such as the fiddle and harmonica. Early on, music
lovers can undoubtedly hear how the single closely shadows Alan Jackson’s
“Chattahoochee” (but perhaps with instruments being even more prevalent
throughout the song).
“It’s a song to
savor. The fiddle-heavy bluegrass mix is warm and imaginative. It’s a song that
sticks with you.
While it could
be interpreted as a love song, “Red Fire Night” leaves doors open for any group
of friends looking to have fun on a long weekend getaway. Why Fans Will Love It: The upbeat, bluegrass-fueled “Red Fire
Night” is a feel-good song that begs to be heard live. Key Lyrics: “Meet me under
that red fire night / Down by the willows in the Tennessee pines / I’ll bring
the whiskey, you bring the wine / We’ll make a few memories on a red fire night.”

Mountain Faith
Run To Meet Him
– “Sam McMahan
has got a beautiful voice, a beautiful range of songs on here, this one particularly
struck me… I did think it was rather lovely, I think they’re great” - Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Home Town: Sylva,
NC
Sam McMahan
(bass), Summer McMahan (fiddle, lead and harmony), Brayden McMahan (banjo, harmony), Luke Dotson
(guitar, lead and harmony), and Cory Piatt (mandolin).
Since 2000,
Mountain Faith has played their unique brand of bluegrass to audiences in civic
centers, auditoriums, arenas, fair grounds, parks, and churches across the
United States and Canada. Their fresh Appalachian take on gospel, bluegrass,
folk, R&B, and pop music has earned them televised appearances on Daystar
and, most recently, America’s Got Talent. When not touring the bluegrass
festival circuit, Mountain Faith performs on the stage of Dollywood where they
have quickly become a crowd favorite. Getting to know Mountain Faith is easy;
their humility, kindness, and love of community shine through on the stage and
in casual conversation. Above all else, they are thankful for the opportunities
God has provided through music.
When Mountain
Faith isn't appearing on national television or working at High Country Tire,
they are traveling across the country performing at various events. And,
they've managed to find time to work on their latest album for Mountain Fever
Records, That Which Matters, due for release this fall. "Emily (It's
Love)" is the first single from the new album. Of the single, John Lawless
of Bluegrass Today says, "Battistelli included the song on her 2011 album,
Hundred More Years, as a duet with Dave Barnes who cowrote with her, but here
Summer McMahan sings it solo with a slurry, slippery style that is very modern
while remaining true to her bluegrass roots. Simply brilliant."

Feufollet
Red Light - "It's great there's everything on here
..I think it's strong" - Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Cajun, Creole, Zydeco, Swamp Pop, Rock n Roll, Classic Country, Rhythm and Blues
South Louisiana
- Cajun/Rock/Country/Zydeco
The band is
currently made up of Chris Stafford (vocals, accordion, and both acoustic and
electric guitars), Kelli Jones-Savoy ( vocals, fiddle, and acoustic guitar),
Andrew Toups (keyboards), Mike Stafford (drums), and Philippe Billeaudeaux (bass).
Feufollet is an
Americana/Cajun band from Lafayette, Louisiana.
Feufollet is Americana at its finest— reverential but wholly nonconformists. The young and vibrant Southwest Louisiana band takes Cajun, honky-tonk, and string-band music as their starting point, and keeps an open mind about where their song craft will lead them. Feufollet keeps that experimental spirit alive and well with their diverse musical palette, edgy arrangements, and pop-song sensibilities.
Louisiana roots
band Feufollet has been busy in 2015 with the release of Two Universes, the six-piece band’s
first studio record in five years, and several long tours in support of the
album.
Apparently
their last album was Grammy
nominated.While the band is identified as Cajun, the repertoire ranges from
traditional south Louisiana string band tunes to blues, country, and even the
occasional old-school rock and roll number. The set list often contains such
hard-charging country standards as Mickey Newbury’s “Why You Been Gone So
Long,” nods to Chuck Berry and popular local swamp-pop tunes, even Brian Eno‘s
“Baby‘s On Fire.” Front man Chris Stafford says the band is razor-sharp after a
summer of constant gigging and ready for bigger things.
“When you do something rooted in Cajun music
you end up playing where there’s dancing, you play a lot of dance halls,”
says Stafford from his Staffland recording studio in Lafayette, “so we decided to try to widen our coverage
and get out into some new venues and new towns this year and hopefully find
some appreciation from folks who aren’t necessarily Cajun music enthusiasts
first.
Stafford notes
the band has gone through some adjustments since the departure of original
member Anna Laura Edmiston and her replacement by Kelli Jones-Savoy.
“Anna’s mother
was French Canadian and her father was a Cajun, so she wrote and sang in
French,” he explained. “Kelli is also a songwriter, but she comes at it more
from Appalachian folk and from country music, so that is one element of change
we’ve undergone with Anna’s leaving the band. Also, Kelli can play just about
anything with strings on it, so we have a lot of flexibility vis a vis what we
can do with our sound and approach. She definitely lets us make our sound a
little more country than it used to be.”
When Stafford,
who plays accordion and guitar and sings, isn’t gigging with Feufollet, he
stays busy engineering and producing projects at his studio and also plays in a
couple of local ensembles part-time.
By all accounts
from Houston musicians who have been playing in Lafayette recently, the city is
going through a renaissance of sorts, with one local old-timer telling us
Lafayette feels something like Austin in the 1970s.
