Giveaway: Kelly Clarkson & The Fray Tickets!
Kelly Clarkson sure has had a busy summer! Her latest album ‘Stronger’ has already delivered three hit singles, she served as a mentor on ABC’s series Duets, landed herself a big-wig boyfriend and has been traveling around the U.S. with fellow rockers, The Fray. Along the way, she’s created a viral buzz with her renditions of some of the most recognizable songs in music during the ‘fan request’ section of her show. It’s no doubt that she’ll be closing the tour (on Sept. 15th) in Nashville with a bang – and Tragic Kingdom will be there to capture every moment – but before we celebrate her choice for Music City, let’s look…

The Fray’s New "Heartbeat"
The new single from pop-rockers The Fray emerges today – its the first from their upcoming album, dropping in early 2012. Following the formula that has garnered the band a number of top 10 singles and tons of radio play, “Heartbeat” sounds like another carefully crafted, manufactured production from their hit factory. And with the “if you can love somebody, love ’em all the same” hook and a memorable melody, the track seems like a strong start to kick off the band’s new project. Listen to “Heartbeat” below and share your comments, thoughts and feedback on the new uptempo single from The Fray.

Artist To Watch: The CO
Now that jokes and pranks have subsided, it’s time to introduce you to Tragic Kingdom’s featured artist for April. It’s not often that you stumble upon music that is so compelling and rich in content it moves you to action. However, when I first heard The CO, made up of Collin Brace, Troy Akers, and Nate Fleming, I was reminded of why I love this industry. The trio, who are joined by Will Harrison and Phil Snowden when they hit the stage, are a Nashville based band setting out to break the mold of the city’s stereotypical sound. In January of last year, the band released their debut self-titled album…

EXCLUSIVE: Matt Morris In Denver
After a whirlwind promotional tour surrounding the release of his new album, When Everything Breaks Open, Matt Morris has found his way back home to Denver, Colorado. In the past couple of months, Morris has gone from singer-songwriter to star – performing with Justin Timberlake on the Hope For Haiti Telethon, singing for Ellen DeGeneres, George Lopez, and David Letterman, and appearing on multiple local and cable shows. But it was in his hometown where the very humble and grounded performer got to experience some of his new found popularity for, what seemed like, the first time. On Thursday night, he stopped by one of Denver’s premier venues, The Bluebird…

Artist To Watch: Matt Morris
If you haven’t heard the name Matt Morris, or found yourself jamming out to his tunes, you soon will. Matt, a resident of Denver, Colorado, is prepping the release of his debut album, titled “When Everything Breaks Open”. Coincidence? I think not. The soulful, pop tracks delivered on his first effort indicate that Matt is destined to break wide open. But this won’t be Morris’ first time in the spotlight. He got his start on The New Mickey Mouse Club (and there is plenty of footage to prove it), where he acted, sung, and danced his way into the hearts of many alongside Britney Spears, Keri Russell, Christina Aguilera, and…
