Following a year that introduced him to international success in 2012, James McCartney now heads towards an exciting and unprecedented 2013 year that will see him release his first full-length album and embark on a forty-seven date, twenty-seven state tour of the USA.
 
McCartney is fresh off the release of his two digital-only EPs, Available Light and Close At Hand, as well as his first physical release, The Complete EP Collection, a special two-disc package that includes the debut EPs in their entirety along with five bonus tracks.
 
Now, James McCartney is set to release his first full-length album, Me, May 21st on ECR Music Group. “For my first album I wanted to make a record that would be intimate, deeply personal, and honest,” says McCartney. “An album that would say, ‘This is who I am…both musically and personally. This is me.’”
 
The tour to accompany the release of Me reflects this singular idea.
Beginning April 6th, McCartney will visit forty-seven cities coast to coast performing a unique solo-acoustic show in intimate and elegant listening rooms throughout the country. Accompanying himself on guitar and piano, McCartney’s soaring vocals, songwriting, and musicianship will take center stage in this distinctive and powerful setting.
 
Risa Binder knew early on that she wanted to be a singer-songwriter, andPaper Heart, her debut album, is evidence that she had plenty of reason to believe. 
 
The Columbia, Maryland native also understood that she'd eventually have to move to New York to realize her dream, but she has done so by way of Los Angeles—and especially Nashville. 
Indeed, the songs on her album show the sense of country storytelling that she picked up in Nashville, as well as the pop melodic sensibility that comes from numerous bi-coastal excursions. 
The origins of Paper Heart actually began in Nashville, where she went to attend a songwriting camp.“Allen Shamblin, who co-wrote Bonnie Raitt’s ‘I Can't Make You Love Me,’ was a teacher there, and I went to [Nashville’s legendary songwriters’ showcase club] The Bluebird Café and cried the entire night!” relates Binder. “I love telling stories through song, and these people were doing it so beautifully. I wanted to figure out how they did it.”
