Fresh off his Opry debut, multi-platinum singer/songwriter Stephen Sanchez proves it’s going to be a yearning summer on his new single “CHUCK THE MONEY.”

With “CHUCK THE MONEY,” Stephen blends old-school influences and modern pop sensibilities, further expanding his sonic universe that feels rooted in the past while always looking toward the future. On writing the song, Stephen shares, “This was the second song we wrote for the record. It’s about throwing out the material things and placing value back on connection and intimacy that’s real and has a heartbeat. But also taking it to a place that’s fun and innocent as well.”

Corey Kent returns with his latest release, “Wannabe,” a stripped-down, deeply personal track that signals the sonic direction of his next chapter.

It’s a song about how the little things and everyday moments in life mean more than fame and fortune ever could.”
