Eric Heatherly extends his contract with AGR Television Records

Eric Heatherly’s new project, The Record Store Troubadours, releases debut album

In 2005, Eric Heatherly signed his first contract with AGR Television Records for the release of his album “The Lower East Side of Life“. The album made it to number one on the album charts in Poland, representing a good foundation for further collaboration.

The album “2 High 2 Cry”, which was released in 2010, marked the “Flower on the Wall” singer’s first contract extension with AGR Television Records. The first single under the new contract, “Old Enough to Be Her Daddy,” became a chart breaker in Germany.

On November 24, 2018, Eric Heatherly exchanged rings with his long-term love Lindsey Stacey, and as befits two thoroughbred musicians, they celebrated with a song together. The bride and groom released the single “Somethin’ Stupid” – a rendition of the number one classic from 1967 by Frank and Nancy Sinatra.

It was clear to all those involved that they would not simply stop at one single. So, Eric and Lindsey Heatherly gave themselves the name The Record Store Troubadours and went to the studio. This yielded a lot of songs that successfully manage the balancing act between modern country music with a vintage touch. 12 of them will make it onto the new record entitled “Neon Neverland”, which will be released shortly.

The first single, “¡Ándale!” will already be released this summer.

The new release marks the second time Eric Heatherly has extended his contract with AGR Television Records. For the singer and songwriter this is simply a matter of course. He comments: “We are looking forward to a triumphant return with our new music. We appreciate the belief that AGR Television Records has shown us, and we are looking forward to a successful collaboration once again. We can’t wait to tour internationally in support of the highly anticipated debut, “Neon Neverland”. This 12-song collection has been a 3yr. process. We wrote, recorded, produced the whole project in Nashville, TN in between touring.”

Eric Heatherly just did “Somethin’ Stupid” and got married

Newlyweds Eric Heatherly and Lindsey Stacey release classic Sinatra duet to commemorate marriage.

Eric Heatherly, best known for his rockabilly style of country music with hit songs such as “Swimming In Champagne,” “Old Enough to Be Her Daddy,” “The Wrong 5 O’Clock,” “The Last Man Committed” and the Top 10 hit, “Flowers On The Wall,” is celebrating the recent marriage to his long time sweetheart and fellow artist Lindsey Stacey. Eric and Lindsey tied the knot on November 24th, 2018 at a private ceremony south of Nashville. To celebrate the occasion, the newlyweds will release a new single together entitled, “Somethin’ Stupid“. It’s a revamped version of the classic #1 song from 1967 by Frank & Nancy Sinatra.

Eric Heatherly produced and arranged “Somethin’ Stupid” hoping to give new life to such a classic duet. “It’s a lot more guitar oriented than the original orchestrated version” says Heatherly. “Lindsey and I loved recording this song together. She is an amazing artist and I couldn’t ask for a better duet partner, in music and marriage.” The retro sounding single is set for a world-wide release in honor of Frank Sinatra’s birthday, December 12th, 2018. It will be released in the U.S. on the NashVegas Recording Co. label solely owned by Heatherly and on the AGR Television Records label in the rest of the world.

Eric Heatherly is also working on a new album that will be released in 2019 titled, “Matchbook Rendezvous”. The first single will be “The Road Song (Route 66 Revisited)” and will feature a video that was recently filmed in Las Vegas. He describes the full-length recording as a five year passion project of vintage sounds laid down on all analog equipment, mostly captured live on 2″ tape in his own historic music hall and event center, “The Ole Tennessee Opry”, located just outside of Nashville. When not performing in Branson or doing solo shows, you can catch Eric Heatherly accompanying his good buddy David Lee Murphy on select tour dates with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Toby Keith and Kenny Chesney.
