The Cadillac Three, O'Connor Band release CDs
The Cadillac Three merge country and rock songs in a trio punctuated by pedal steel on "Bury Me In My Boots." Lead singer Jaren Johnston also has enjoyed a career as a songwriter (Frankie Ballard's "It All Started with a Beer" and Jake Owen's "American Country Love Song"). The new disc, the band's second full-length release, contains 14 songs. "The South" features help from Florida Georgia Line, Dierks Bentley and Mike Eli of the Eli Young Band.
Mark O'Connor has carved out a career for himself on the bluegrass and acoustic front as a fiddle player. But here he debuts The O'Connor Band with "Coming Home." The group also features his wife, Maggie, son Forrest, and his fiancé Kate Lee. Forrest and Lee are the main songwriters and lead vocalists. Mark and Forrest O'Connor produced the disc with Gregg Field.
Chris Lane releases his first full-length album, "Girl Problems," which contains his hit "Fix." The North Carolina native released an EP, "Fix," in November 2015. Four of the songs on that release are on "Girl Problems."

The Cadillac Three's bio is stacked with amazing bullet points that
partially explains their mutant rockabilly-heavy-on-the-rock cocktail. The
born-and-raised Nashville trio - drummer/vocalist Neil Mason,
bassist/dobroist/vocalist Kelby Ray Caldwell and guitarist/lead vocalist
Jaren Johnston - have extensive indie-rock-and-beyond resumes, including
their previous incarnation as Bang Bang Bang which morphed into the sadly
