Broken Bow finds its Wheelhouse

Monday, August 31, 2015 – BBR Music Group, the home of Broken Bow Records, announced today it would launch its fourth label, Wheelhouse Records.

The label will be home to Trace Adkins, who was already announced earlier this year as being with Broken Bow, and Texas artist Granger Smith.

Expect new music from Adkins fall while Wheelhouse Records will lead the radio promotion charge for Smith's "Backroad Song." The song is on an EP he released several months ago.

"When the BBR Music Group makes a commitment to an artist, we intend to do our very best to help them live out their dreams," said Benny Brown, owner & CEO of BBR Music Group.

" In order for us to do that, we have to add the support it's going to take to gain the most airplay for each single. We've found that if we have more than four or five artists on one label, then someone isn't going to get the fair shot they need. That's why we started Stoney Creek in 2009, then RED BOW in 2012, and now Wheelhouse Records. We want to do everything we possibly can for each artist - because we don't give up easy."

Jason Aldean is the lead artist on the label and has been part of Broken Bow since the start of his career. Dustin Lynch, Jackie Lee, Jordan Rager, James Wesley and Kristy Lee Cook are on Broken Bow.

The Stoney Creek label consists of Randy Houser, Thompson Square, Parmalee, Lindsay Eli and David Fanning.

Joe Nichols, Chase Bryant, Craig Campbell and Brooke Eden are on Red Bow.

Wheelhouse also named a promotion team.

Brown got his start in the car dealership business in northern California.

CD reviews for Trace Adkins

CD review - Ain't That Kind of Cowboy Anybody with staying power in the modern country music landscape must have found a four-leaf clover and a niche. Trace Adkins hearkens back to a time when country stars included more Alpha males. He's got a baritone as deep as an oil well and stands eye-to-eye with quite a few pro basketball players. It's enough presence to show up on screen, and Adkins has had more than one foray into film over the 30-plus years he's been singing for his supper. Now approaching 60, you wonder if ...
CD review - Something's Going On Trace Adkins' wonderful low singing voice can be a little deceptive because he could easily sing utter crap and still somehow sound great. It's why the critical ear must pay close attention to specifically what he's saying in his songs whenever evaluating his work. Adkins doesn't write his own songs, so he's entirely dependent upon stellar writers. Thankfully, "Something's Going On" is a better than average collection of songs, especially good for Adkins, as ...
CD review - Live Country DVD "Live Country" is a concert film featuring Trace Adkins performing his biggest hits at The Paramount in Huntington, N.Y. Anticipation was high for this one because Adkins, along with Josh Turner, is one of our very best low-voiced singers. Perhaps poor audio quality is to blame, but Adkins' singing isn't nearly as powerful in this live setting as it is on CD. From the cheesy stage props to the casually dressed backing singers (one even has a headband that leaves her looking ...
