I’m grateful to the people who helped make this happen and to anyone who connects with these songs, I will do my best to keep them honest.”

East Tennessee native, Mitch Rossell, started learning to play guitar to honor a promise he made to his late father. Years later Rossell and his guitar would go on to write the No.1 hit, “Ask Me How I Know,” for Garth Brooks, as well as join the legend himself on his arena world tour and the most recent summer stadium tour.

“This song is a journey through my childhood; a painful picture of how I lost my Dad, and the healing I found with the birth of my first son,” says Rossell. “‘Son’ is by far the most personal song I’ve ever put on paper and is my life story. It’s my way to honor my father’s legacy and the love he poured into me.”

3The Ukrainian Chorus Dumka of New York

The Ukrainian Chorus Dumka of New York alongside conductor Vasyl Hrechynsky and Haley & Michaels have teamed up to pay tribute to the 100 year anniversary of “Carol of the Bells,” which was based on the Ukrainian song, “Shchedryk.” The musical forces have released a stunning tribute today, Friday, December 16, that honors two different traditions.

Written in 1916 by composer Mykola Leontovych, “Shchedryk,” was traditionally performed by caroling boys in Ukraine who would go from house to house in their towns, singing and wishing their neighbors a Happy New Year, as the lyrics are based on a pre-Christian folk song. However in 1922, the song first made its way onto American soil at Carnegie Hall by the Ukrainian National Choir conducted by Alexander Koshetz. A little over a decade later, Peter Wilhousky wrote new lyrics to the composition and thus “Carol of the Bells,” was born. Since then, the song has become an integral part of the repertoire of choirs, orchestras, and popular singers alike who have helped to make this song a holiday classic.

Country music performer and songsmith, Rob Wolf, has released his latest and final single for 2022 titled, “For the Best.”  The self-penned new song is for anyone who has made the decision to part ways by leaving home, a job, a relationship and gained the understanding that moving on is hard, but comes with beautiful lessons. Sometimes the end of something comes unexpectedly, and sometimes it slowly creeps up on you. Either way, the end is often a painful experience that can be riddled with doubt.
