In The Spotlight

Drew Angus – “Keep Your Head Up”

Based in Connecticut, this singer and songwriter first got grabbed by the music bug listening to Stevie Ray Vaughn in the back of his parents’ car. He got his first guitar at the age of 10 and reluctantly began taking lessons. He reached the Hollywood Round on American Idol in 2016. Since then he’s shared the stage with icons like Stevie Nicks and Nile Rodgers and opened for Noah Kahan. Inspired by Tom Petty, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, he released his debut “Something Crazy” in 2013.

Trying to shine a light on emotional resilience, his new single reminds us to stand strong and find hope in dark and difficult times. Taken from his recently released debut album “Late To The Party”, this virulent song adds touches of classic rock and soul to an Americana-infused melody. With a vibrant, joy-filled bounce, it’s the propulsive rhythm, jubilant piano and jaunty guitars that forge a vivacious groove. And with his bubbly, sunlit vocals, this effervescent tune is nostalgic and infectious.

In The Spotlight

Callista Clark – “Funny”

Hailing from Zebulon, Georgia, this country-pop singer and songwriter started singing in church where her grandfather was a pastor. A multi-instrumentalist, she learned to play the ukulele aged 10, the guitar aged 11 and later added the piano. She’s been named Billboard’s “21 Under 21” twice and CMT’s Next Woman Of Country. She also recorded songs with Scotty McCreery and Vince Gill. Inspired by Travis Tritt, Randy Travis and The Judds, she released her debut EP “Real To Me” in 2021.

Telling us the story about an immature partner who isn’t ready for a relationship, nor to grow up, her new single mocks him by highlighting expensive hobbies despite not paying his bills. Her lyrical storytelling is accompanied by a sunlit and lighthearted country-pop melody and sprinkled with a touch of nostalgia. With a bouncy retro rhythm, joyous electric guitars and her bright, rosy vocals forging the vibrant tune, this energetic groove conjures a polished yet playful soundscape.
