NASHVILLE, TN– Bold and electric, THE CADILLAC THREE has proven to be a musical force not to be ignored.
Rolling Stone named their unconventional love jam “White Lightning” one on the 25 Best Country Songs of 2015.
GRAMMY-nominated frontman Jaren Johnston penned the track as well as six #1 hits for other artists such as
Keith Urban and Jake Owen. Some of the band’s highlights include Steven Tyler of Aerosmith joining the
Nashville natives at their capacity hometown show; Eric Church enlisting them as major tour support; Dierks
Bentley inviting the guys to rev up his Miles & Music fundraiser and finding big fans in Florida Georgia Line,
Thomas Rhett and Eli Young Band. Additionally, they’ll be hitting the road with both Kip Moore and Chase Rice
bringing an “unrefined live show you won't want to miss" (PASTE) as the new year ignites. But, that’s just the
start … in the US alone. On January 29, TC3 will “Graffiti” the musical landscape with a brand new song slated for
simultaneous digital release in the US and Europe. “Graffiti” will impact radio as an official single in the UK on
February 5, where they will also film an accompanying music video. Percussionist Neil Mason penned the track
with Corey Crowder and Luke Dick, which TC3 recorded at London’s famed Abbey Road Studios as part of a live
vinyl release coming later this year. The lyrics echo nostalgia for the band who met in high school: “we’re doing
it our way, leaving our mark down the halls, on the walls in the bathroom stalls, underneath that freight train
bridge we jumped off // Our story spread around, word of mouth, town to town // we were small-town
famous, our names in graffiti.”
The raucous trio has been building a rabid following with music critics and fans alike, already nearing a sell out
on all dates already on their upcoming Night Life Religion Tour in the UK, which kicks off on January 28 in Leeds.
“Thank you for coming to the shows, listening to the tunes, telling your friends about us whether it’s good or
bad and for letting 3 long hairs from Nashville, TN live the dream of playing music all over the world,” said TC3.
“There will be new music and new adventures. We can't wait to see y'all out there!”
Since being named the 2014 UK Classic Rock Roll of Honour: Best New Band, TC3 became the most played new
band on Planet Rock in 2015 with several radio singles – " The South," "Back It Up," "Party Like You, "Peace Love
and Dixie" and "White Lightning” – listed on the UK’s biggest radio station dedicated to rock music while "White
Lightning” was a staple all summer on the BBC Radio 2 playlist and an interview with host Bob Harris is slated for
February 1 on his prime time Country show. A nonstop rollercoaster of touring around the UK release of their
EP Peace, Love & Dixie resulted in every show boasting a sell out – including concerts at famous venues like O2
Academy Islington, Dingwalls and The Garage. On top of those, TC3 has also played three UK festivals –
Sonisphere, Download & Planet Rock Fest. It’s no wonder fans in the grassroots TC3 Drinking Club have
continued to raise a glass and engage beyond the live performances.
"Like Kings of Leon before them, they're poised for their first big break in the U.K. — where they've sold out
every headlining show for nearly two years — before conquering their U.S. home turf,” heralded Rolling Stone.
With a raw sound like no other, the buzz-worthy band organically builds around Neil’s thundering, melodic
percussion and the sinewy intertwining of Jaren’s gruff vocals and guitar with Kelby Ray’s lap steel, all ready to
explode at a moments notice. “The blazing brand of country rock plied by The Cadillac Three burns down genre
boundaries” (The Boston Globe) and “…the majority of today’s so called country rockers are simply trying to
emulate what The Cadillac Three has been from their very beginning” (Chicago Sun-Times). The musical coconspirators are known for their high-energy shows and gritty sonic instincts, evident on a five-song electric
session at the prestigious Abbey Road Studios that is slated for release later this year.
