Nashville, Tenn. (September 11, 2015) – RCA Nashville’s group, Old Dominion, will release their debut album, ‘Meat and Candy,’ on November 6. ‘Meat and Candy’ was produced by GRAMMY Award-winning songwriter and producer, Shane McAnally, and physical copies can now be pre-ordered at Amazon. The highly anticipated album features the group’s Top 15 and still rising hit song ‘Break Up With Him,’ the first song that the band of hit-songwriters wrote together collectively as a group.
“This is a HUGE moment for us! We are releasing our debut, major label full length album!” the band exclaims.
“When we were kids sitting in our rooms with our guitars and Rolling Stone magazines, this is THE moment we were imagining for ourselves. As musicians and songwriters, we are very proud of every song on the album. We are looking to turn some heads and make some big noise here. We’re stepping out there on stage with the big boys and girls and our hope is that this album will prove we deserve to be there.”
The five songwriters that make-up Old Dominion include lead singer Matthew Ramsey, multi-instrumentalist Trevor Rosen, drummer Whit Sellers, bassist Geoff Sprung and lead guitarist Brad Tursi. Combined, members of Old Dominion have written hits for artists including Dierks Bentley, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, The Band Perry, Tyler Farr and Sam Hunt; four of which reached No. 1 at country radio.
2015 has been a big year for the band that has been together over eight years. It all kicked off with Old Dominion being included in multiple 2015 watch lists including Billboard, Huffington Post, Rolling Stone Country, Nashville Lifestyles and Spotify, where the band’s self-titled EP has garnered 22.2 MILLION streams. Those numbers reflect the excitement from both longtime and new fans of the band who tours relentlessly. By the end of 2015, Old Dominion will have performed 170 shows which includes 18 stadium dates opening up for Kenny Chesney this summer on the Big Revival Tour.
