The Cadillac Three sign with Big Machine Label Group

FEBRUARY 19, 2013

The Big Machine Label Group announced today the signing of The Cadillac Three to its Big Machine Records imprint. The Country group with a rockin’ edge will join the label, which is home to superstars Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts and Tim McGraw.

The Cadillac Three, formerly known as The Cadillac Black, is a high-energy trio who describes their sound as “country fuzz.” Composed of three Nashville natives – Jaren Johnston (Guitar & Lead Vocals), Kelby Ray (Bass Steel Guitar, Dobro, Acoustic & Vocals) and Neil Mason (Drums, Percussion & Vocals) – all three guys weathered wild adventures and wrote numerous songs along the way.

Collectively, their experience as musicians stretches from having written hit songs to opening shows for acts like ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eric Church and Eli Young Band. Johnston is known for penning Keith Urban’s #1 smash “You Gonna Fly,” two new cuts on Tim McGraw’s latest record TWO LANES OF FREEDOM and several other tunes for acts like Kenny Chesney, Sara Evans and Dierks Bentley.

“We’re excited to be a part of the Big Machine Label Group and to have found a team that supports the music we’ve been making and playing across the country. We think it is a match made in ‘country fuzz heaven’ for three guys born and raised in Music City,” said The Cadillac Three.

“We are thrilled that The Cadillac Three will now call Big Machine their home,” said BMLG President/CEO Scott Borchetta. “Their songs are infectious. Their live show is captivating. We expect many great things to come for these guys.”

The band appeared on an episode of ABC’s hit drama “NASHVILLE” in late 2012 and their music has been featured on MTV’s Buckwild, CW’s Vampire Diaries and Heart Of Dixie, CBS’ CSI Miami.

The Cadillac Three is expected to release new music later this year. Country radio will get a sneak peek next Thursday (2/28) when the band opens for Eli Young Band at Nashville hotspot, The Stage.

Urban Country News “Buzz” Review

Songwriters: Jaren Johnston, Kelby Ray, Neil Mason

In the spring of this year, southern-rock trio The Cadillac Black released their self-titled debut album. Though there are at least five or six equally strong candidates, logical first single is the good time of ‘Get Your Buzz On.’

‘Well, us boys, we ain’t suit-and-tie,’ Jaren Johnston states the obvious right at the start. This song has one simple goal, to take you to a down-home party and make you forget any and all worries. There are days when life really does not need to be more than that, because ‘there ain’t nothin’ wrong/with a little knock-down, drag-out, go and let your hair down/party on the farm ’til the rooster crows.’

Many current country-rock songs rely too heavily on loudness to make their point. TCB show that you don’t need to go big to impress. A great riff, creative and irreverent songwriting, a unique voice, and with only three musicians they create a sound that sets them apart from everyone else. Kelby Ray’s lap steel notes make a trip through a bass amp, eliminating the need for a bass player, and helping achieve the band’s heavier sound organically.

The Cadillac Black’s ‘Get Your Buzz On,’ is rocking good fun from one of Nashville’s most exciting bands. Turn your radio up to 11 for this one!
