Trevor Sewell :: CALLING NASHVILLE
Five years, five albums, six American tours, 17 international awards, and
guest appearances from the likes of Janis Ian, Tracy Nelson (Mother Earth),
Paul Barrere (Little Feat) Vickie Carrico, and Sean O’Bryan Smith (Keith
Urban, Kenny Rogers, Lady Antebellum), the new album from Trevor
Sewell, *Calling
Nashville*, produced by Geoff Wilbourn at the iconic Sound Emporium Studios
in Nashville, is currently smashing down the barriers between contemporary
blues and Americana, with dates set for 2018 in Europe and the United
States.
After spending many years as a session musician, Trevor decided to go it
alone, rapidly establishing himself as one of the great emerging guitar
talents, and gaining legions of fans in the process. In the U.S., his first
album, *Calling Your Name*, reached Number 1 on the *American Blues Scene*
chart, where it stayed for seven weeks. His songs have since appeared on
more than twenty compilations, alongside Robert Johnson, B.B. King, and
Bruce Springsteen.

Hamilton Loomis :: BASICS
Hamilton Loomis does indeed go back to basics on his new album, which is
his most personal and emotional effort to date. Gone are the double
entendres for which Loomis is known; this time, his lyrics are direct,
personal, and often autobiographical. The “basics” theme runs through the
entire CD, in its lyrics (“Prayer,” “Cloudy Day”), single-chord
progressions (“Sugar Baby," "Looking Into a Dream”), simple melodies (“Come
and Get Me”), and stripped-down instrumentation of guitar, bass and drums
(“Reason," "Getting So Big”).
Still, Loomis’ trademark deep-grooved funk and soulful blues-rock is
definitely present. “I wanted this record to be more stripped-down. Even
the CD jacket is black and white and pretty basic itself," he says of the
disc, which features songwriting collaborations with Grammy-award winning
songwriter/ producer/bassist Tommy Sims, co-writer of Eric Clapton's
“Change the World." Loomis’ 2013 album *Give It Back* showed his
pay-it-forward attitude of passing on knowledge to young, up-and-coming
musicians, just as his mentors ...Find more about this CD and artist
