LOS ANGELES, Calif. – August 20, 2014 –
An already well-respected frontman and singer in the bluegrass community, Tim
Shelton rose to fame with his band NewFound Road. After signing to Rounder, a
string of hits and critical praise, Shelton aims to venture into a brand new
creative project as a solo artist, combining his love for rock, country, and folk.
To introduce his solo effort, Shelton is giving away his first single, “Learning How To Live Alone” free to the
public in exchange for an email address via his Facebook.
“I’ve
always loved and appreciated all kinds of music, and it was almost nagging at
me that I wanted to do something else … I didn’t want to deal with reinventing
NewFound Road, I’d been wanting to do other things musically, to go other
places, and so I thought, now is the time.”
Recorded
in Nashville and produced by Barry Bales, this first single to debut his solo
album is both heartbreaking and soothing to the ear that one can empathize
about living a lonely, single life. Shelton’s crisp vocals and simple guitar
riffs are what make it a solid country song and a memorable anthem.
Honest
lyrics and Shelton’s pure voice are what make “Learning How To Live Alone” such a relatable song with it’s repetitive,
convincing chorus and steady pace. Shelton’s confident introduction to his
full-length debut is only driven by his respected reputation and vision.
“I
just want to make music that isn’t necessarily traditional Bluegrass. I
love it, but I also love James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Rock, hard Rock,
traditional Country—all of those. Just music.”
Shelton
plans to release a Jackson Browne-inspired album February 2015.
