SUMMARY:Wyatt Easterling in Concert! Robert Bidney Opens
DESCRIPTION:Welcome Wyatt Easterling!\nWyatt Easterling’s decades of success in the music industry includes a myriad of roles from performer to songwriter\, and as an executive of both a major record label and publishing company. This wealth of experience and accompanying success in all these varying facets of the industry\, give him a unique and valuable understanding of the music business.\nWhen Atlantic Records opened their Nashville office\, Easterling signed on as Chief of A&R\, and started his track record of success by signing artists such as Tracy Lawrence\, Michael Johnson\, Neal McCoy\, and John Michael Montgomery.\nEasterling along with Doug Johnson\, produced Montgomery’s multi-platinum debut album\, Life’s A Dance. Wyatt then partnered with Miles Copeland (Sting\, The Police\, IRS Records) and formed the Nashville Division of Bugle Publishing Group and Firstars Management as Director of Operations. Easterling brought Keith Urban to Firstars Management and worked at length with Urban in the studio recording the project that landed Keith his first major deal at Warner Bros. Records.\nIn addition to ushering notable artists into the mainstream\, Easterling and Copeland created Bugle Publishing Group’s The Castle\, the first of its kind songwriter’s retreat held yearly at Miles Copeland’s Chateau Marouatte in France. This event saw great success with a long list of esteemed artists and writers such as Keith Urban\, Cher\, Carole King\, Jon Bon Jovi\, Peter Frampton\, Olivia Newton-John\, and Stuart Copeland\, to name a few.\nWyatt then signed alternative roots artist Paul Thorn into the company for management and publishing. Easterling produced Paul’s album\, Hammer & Nail along with Greg Wells and Billy Maddox for A&M Records\, Los Angeles.\nAfter Bugle Publishing\, Easterling decided it was time to get back to songwriting and promptly signed with DreamWorks Publishing. Eventually Wyatt opened Terra Nova Music\, his own publishing company in Nashville\, which had eight writers on staff.Wyatt’s songwriting success includes “Modern Day Drifter” (Dierks Bentley)\,“Life’s So Funny” (Joe Diffie)\, “This Time I’m Taking My Time” (Neal McCoy).Wyatt released his 5th album\, mid-2022\, titled\,” From Where I Stand’.\nFind out more at:Wyatteasterling.com\nRobert Bidney opens this show. Robert has been writing songs for most of his life. He has recorded three studio albums\, while an eclectic array of artists around the world have also covered his songs with meaning – songs that define him and reveal his soul. His creativity and commercial awareness merged while Bidney was employed by advertising agencies for which he wrote and produced a number of national radio and TV jingles for clients and worked closely with many top musicians\, producers and songwriters throughout the U.S. and Canada.\nThank Goodness\, Bidney’s third album features eight songs inspired by the recent changes and challenges we’ve experienced. This album was among the 50 most-played albums on Folk radio upon its release and was on the Top 50 Americana / Country radio album and singles charts for 8 consecutive weeks. (One-Sheet and Track Card can be found under the EPK tab.)\nBidney was a winner in the First Annual “Music for Humanity” Songwriting Contest with his song\, “It’s All About The Love” and was a finalist in the International Acoustic Music Awards Songwriting Contest under the “Folk/Americana/Roots” category for his song\, “Rush Of Hope.”\nHear some of Robert’s music here:robertbidney.com\nDoor donations for the show:Members/$15General Admission/$20\nTickets are available at the door.
