ABOUT ERINA

ERINA MCLAREN IS A SINGER-SONGWRITER FROM TACOMA, WASHINGTON, WHOSE MUSIC SEAMLESSLY BLENDS AMERICANA AND SOULFUL COUNTRY INFLUENCES WITH DEEPLY INTROSPECTIVE LYRICS DRAWN FROM HER OWN LIFE EXPERIENCES. HER SONGS EXPLORE THEMES OF SELF-DISCOVERY, LOVE, LOSS, AND PERSONAL GROWTH, OFFERING A RAW AND HONEST REFLECTION OF HER JOURNEY. DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM A WIDE ARRAY OF GENRES— INCLUDING FOLK, INDIE, COUNTRY, AND SOUL—ERINA’S SOUND IS MARKED BY LUSH, ATMOSPHERIC PRODUCTION, HEARTFELT MELODIES, AND COMPELLING RHYTHMS THAT DRIVE HER NARRATIVES FORWARD. WITH EACH TRACK, LISTENERS ARE DRAWN TO THE VULNERABILITY AND AUTHENTICITY THAT DEFINE HER MUSIC, CREATING A POWERFUL CONNECTION THAT RESONATES LONG AFTER THE SONG ENDS. 

I WROTE 'OH MY LOVE' AS A WAY TO PROCESS THE GRIEF MY FAMILY AND I EXPERIENCED FOLLOWING SOME PROFOUND LOSSES IN 2023. AMONG THEM WAS THE LOSS OF A COUPLE WHO AFTER DECADES OF MARRIAGE, PASSED WITHIN MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. THIS SONG IS ABOUT THE ONES WE’VE LOVED AND LOST, BUT WHO RETURN TO US IN OUR DREAMS, REMINDING US THAT THEIR PRESENCE LINGERS EVEN AFTER THEY’RE GONE. 

     About Bryan

BRYAN COPELAND IS A STANDOUT MUSICAL TALENT—A POWERHOUSE VOCALIST AND VERSATILE SINGER- SONGWRITER KNOWN FOR HIS DIVERSE PERFORMANCES. SINCE 2010, HE HAS BEEN A KEY FIGURE IN THE SPRINGFIELD, MO MUSIC SCENE, INITIALLY GAINING RECOGNITION AS THE FRONTMAN OF LUNA J, A BAND HE FOUNDED IN 2008. OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS, HE HAS PERFORMED OVER 500 SHOWS AS A VIBRANT SOLO ARTIST. AS BOTH A BANDLEADER AND SOLO PERFORMER, BRYAN HAS RELEASED FOUR ALBUMS, TWO EPS, AND SIX SINGLES WITH LUNA J, ALONG WITH NINE SINGLES AND A LIVE ALBUM AS A SOLO ARTIST. HE HAS ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO TRIBUTE PROJECTS FOR ARTISTS LIKE THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS AND JOHN MAYER, BUILDING A DEDICATED FAN BASE. CONNECTION IS MY MAIN GOAL.  MUSIC IS LIKE A RELIGION TO ME, IN A WAY.  IT'S WHAT MAKES ME FEEL CLOSER TO MY SPIRITUAL SELF.  BEING ABLE TO CELEBRATE THAT WITH OTHER PEOPLE BRINGS FEELING THAT NOTHING ELSE DOES. AND BEING ABLE TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE  OF DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS AND PLACES ON A PERSONAL LEVEL IS A PRETTY COOL THING AS WELL. 

MY LATEST SINGLE "HELLO" DEALS WITH STRUGGLES SURROUNDING ALCOHOL, LOVE AND LOST LOVE, MOVING ON FROM THOSE STRUGGLES, AND LEARNING TO LOVE YOURSELF THROUGH IT ALL.  

GINA ROYALE IS AN ALT-POP SINGER-SONGWRITER HAILING FROM BLAIRSTOWN, NEW JERSEY, CELEBRATED FOR HER DYNAMIC BLEND OF POP, ROCK, AND SOULFUL ELEMENTS. HER MUSIC FEATURES DEEPLY PERSONAL AND EMOTIONALLY RESONANT LYRICS, DELIVERED WITH A RAW AND GENUINE VOCAL STYLE THAT CONNECTS PROFOUNDLY WITH HER AUDIENCE. INFLUENCED BY HER MUSICIAN FATHER AND A PASSION FOR NARRATIVE-DRIVEN SONGWRITING, GINA'S TRACKS DELVE INTO THEMES OF INTROSPECTION, HEALING, AND EMPOWERMENT.

IN 2023, GINA'S MUSIC RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT ACCLAIM WHEN HER SONG “LOW” WAS CHOSEN AS THE OPENING TRACK FOR THE FILM “AFTER EVERYTHING”, MARKING A PIVOTAL MOMENT IN HER CAREER. 

COLLABORATING WITH PRODUCER ROB FREEMAN AND THE TALENTED THOMAS MONACO, GINA CONTINUES TO EVOLVE HER SOUND THROUGH CREATIVE PARTNERSHIPS.

WITH HER UPCOMING SINGLE "TREADING" SET TO BE RELEASED UNDER YOUNG OUTLAW MUSIC, GINA ROYALE IS STEADILY ESTABLISHING HERSELF AS A UNIQUE PRESENCE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. 

SKILLFULLY MERGING VULNERABILITY WITH STRENGTH WHILE REMAINING AUTHENTIC TO HER ARTISTIC VISION.

GINA ROYALE IS A FORCE OF NATURE.

“TREADING” IS ABOUT THE UNEXPECTED AND REFLECTIVE PROCESS ONE GOES THROUGH WHEN ENTERING A NEW RELATIONSHIP. YOU DON’T REALIZE THE BAGGAGE YOU’RE BRINGING INTO THE RELATIONSHIP UNTIL YOU’RE FACING IT HEAD ON; HENCE THE LYRIC, “‘CAUSE LATELY I’VE BEEN TRYING TO SWIM IN WATER I DIDN’T KNOW I WAS TREADING”. TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH A NARRATIVE THAT YOU DIDN’T REALIZE YOU WERE LIVING IN CAN BE A CONFUSING AND EXHAUSTING JOURNEY! 

“TREADING” IS FOR ALL OF US STILL FIGURING IT OUT, FEELING UNSURE, AND LEARNING NEW THINGS ABOUT OURSELVES ALONG THE WAY.  

BORN IN LOUISIANA, RAISED IN TEXAS, AND SEASONED BY THE ROAD, JOINING THE MILITARY AT 26, JEREMIAH THROWBRIDGE IS A COUNTRY-ROCK ARTIST WITH GRIT IN HIS VOICE AND FIRE IN HIS STORYTELLING. WITH A SOUND THAT’S RAW, EMOTIONAL, AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY BOLD, JEREMIAH BLENDS THE SOUTHERN SOUL OF TEXAS STORYTELLING WITH THE RELENTLESS ENERGY OF ROCK AND ROLL.

HIS JOURNEY BEGAN AT 14 WITH A BEAT-UP $5 GUITAR AND A NEIGHBOR WHO BELIEVED IN HIM ENOUGH TO TRADE LAWN WORK FOR LESSONS AND A BETTER INSTRUMENT. FROM LEADING WORSHIP BANDS TO FRONTING ROCK GROUPS, TO NOW THRIVING AS A SOLO ARTIST, JEREMIAH HAS WALKED A WINDING PATH—ONE THAT SHOWS UP IN EVERY LYRIC, RIFF, AND ROAR ON STAGE.

JEREMIAH’S SOUND IS DESCRIBED BEST AS "BALLS TO THE WALL, TAKE-NO-PRISONERS" ROCK WITH A COUNTRY HEART. WHETHER IT'S SWAMPY GRIT, TEXAS TWANG, OR HIGH-OCTANE RIFFS, HIS MUSIC CHANNELS LEGENDS LIKE THE BLACK CROWES, VAN HALEN, SHOOTER JENNINGS, AND WHISKEY MYERS, WHILE KEEPING HIS OWN FEARLESS VOICE AT THE CENTER.

HE WEARS EMOTION ON HIS SLEEVE—ON STAGE AND IN THE STUDIO. HIS WIFE JOKES THAT HE SOUNDS LIKE "EDDIE VEDDER AND JAMES HETFIELD HAD A LOVE CHILD," AND HE’S TOTALLY COOL WITH THAT.

WHAT’S UP NEXT ...

PUMPED ABOUT RELEASING “FEEL IT OUT”     A GRITTY ROCK TRACK ABOUT TIMING, PATIENCE, AND INSTINCT.

THIS YEAR MEANS EXPANDING LIVE SHOWS AND HITTING THE FESTIVAL CIRCUIT AS WELL AS WRITING AND RECORDING MORE MATERIAL.

HAPPY TO BE COLLABORATING WITH YOUNG OUTLAW MUSIC TO REACH WIDER AUDIENCES AND LASTLY...

I AM GUNNING FOR AN RIAA AWARD AND LEAVING BEHIND A LEGACY FOR MY FAMILY

COMING SOON!
