Singer-songwriter and music producer Michael Jay Cresswell announces the release of his new

album, “24 Heures to Nashville” available on all digital platforms. A unique project that blends

country tradition with European influences, inspired by the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans race and

the world of Nashville music.

Leading the album’s release is the single “That’s If You Want Me,” a deep and engaging ballad

that explores themes of love, choices, and finding authentic connections. With its rich sound and

deep lyrics, the song embodies the spirit of contemporary country music.

Jim Bickerstaff "Colored Town"

GENRE: AMERICANA/BLUES

Nothing like this project happens without many people contributing. Peace Project

started at St. George Island in Florida in 2004 We spent a week recording this in a

beach house, and when I returned to Alabama, I played it for Johnny Sandlin who had

ideas and offered to help me produce it. So, we started over at Duck Tape with (Prince)

Terry Feller, Myron, Dave, NC Thurman, Johnny B Bellar, and Count Mbutu. We added a

couple of older tracks including Table of the Lord with Chuck Leavell, Rick Kurtz, Oteil

Burbridge, Kelvin (E Chord) Holly, Brian Owings, and Chalmers Davis. Scott Boyer &

Savannah Bickerstaff added background vocals, and suddenly, life got interrupted.

Engineer Jeremy Stephens had the forethought to archive the project on DVD where

it sat in my top drawer for 15 years.

Jola Recchioni "Miss His Hurricane Loving"

GENRE/ BLUES/ROCK

Jola Recchioni lives in London, UK. Jola is a new blues and blues rock artist who burst into the music scene in 2022 and is quickly growing her following among the lovers of blues and blues rock. She started writing, composing and recording her songs in 2023. She released her first solo blues rock album Wrongtime, of which “Miss His Hurricane Loving” is

a part, in April 2024. Jola Recchioni wrote both the music and lyrics of the song and the guitars are

played by Oliver McKiernan, the producer Jola says: “This song definitely has a definite starting point

in a very rhythmical blues but I wanted it to be rocky as well, maybe even with a slight punk rock vibe.

Still you can hear a bit of a boogie woogie groove there. Hence I call it my punkish boogie woogie! As

to the theme, well there are always two sides to every coin: I let my man go, I know I had to do it, but I

regret it deep inside and definitely miss his hurricane loving! I hope the end result is an engaging track!”

Ken Parent "Quiet Fist"

GENRE: POP/ROCK

Quiet Fist was born from a moment of clarity in the chaos — a response to rising authoritarianism

and the silencing of truth. It's not a call to arms, but a call to heart. Crafted by PLRC, a collective of

songcrafters committed to justice and compassion, this track embodies our mission: to resist with

love, to rebel with art, and to uplift the unheard through music. PLRC doesn’t just write songs —

we are committed to writing the soundtrack for the revolution. please become aware of the

revolution and watch it progress as we lay it out and sing about bringing unjust authority down.
