19/03

"Hold Me" by Bad Penny’s is the debut cut from the newly released EP entitled Re-Entry. This particular vintage of song writing is brought to a rolling boil by producer Jeffrey Pearcy. “I took a handful of previously unreleased favorites, brought in successful solo artists to world class recording facilities & gave them the road map & enough breathing room to shine”. It’s a unique amalgam of Pop, R&B, & Jazz recorded old school (Large Format Analog Console) with all the benefits of the digital Pro Tools landscape.

Michael Jay Creswell

"Music In The Streets"

Rollicking blast of country-soul rock n’ roll arrives on download/streaming platforms today. Nashville singer-songwriter Michael Jay Cresswell has unveiled his anthemic new single "Music In The Streets." The new single from the versatile artist celebrates the joyous power of music with Stax-soul piano and sax singalong refrain.

'Music In The Streets' was written by myself, world-famous sax player John Heinrich, producer James Howell and Kevin Richardson” explains Cresswell. “The song's inspiration came from meeting Country DJ Baylen Leonard and then seeing a picture he posted on his blog titled ‘Music in the streets, music in the windows’. That line stuck with me and gave me the bones of the song. We recorded it in the UK, then got Duane Scott (Stevie Nicks, Lindsay Buckingham, Wings) to executive produce it for that classic Nashville sound.
