SHENANDOAH JOINS ADKINS PUBLICITY ROSTER

GRAMMY®, CMA and ACM-winning country music trailblazers, Shenandoah, join the ADKINS PUBLICITY roster for national and Nashville representation in advance of their highly-anticipated new album set for release this March via BMG.

Shenandoah, which includes founding members Marty Raybon and Mike McGuire, continues captivating audiences nationwide with their high-energy show packed with hits, including their new single "NOISE," which is currently No. 43 on the chart and rising fast. Over the last 30 years, the band has recorded 9 studio albums, 13 No. 1 records and charted 26 singles on the Billboard country charts. Their No. 1 hits include “Two Dozen Roses,” “Church on Cumberland Road,” “Next to You, Next to Me,” “I Want to be Loved Like That,” “Sunday In The South,” “Somewhere in the Vicinity of the Heart” and many more.



“We have found ourselves in the best of both worlds scenario. We have joined forces with ADKINS PUBLICITY. This will help to move along our plans of an aggressive strategy to get Shenandoah in front of as many people as possible on the national level while having Absolute Publicity continue our day to day touring press. That way, our fans and promoters alike will benefit. There are great things happening with our new single “NOISE,” and with new music coming out in March, we are turning up the awareness volume! We are proud to have Scott and his gang at Adkins Publicity on the team,” said Shenandoah lead singer Marty Raybon.

ABOUT SHENANDOAH: GRAMMY®, CMA and ACM-winning hitmakers Shenandoah are celebrating 30 years of chart-topping hits as the group gears up for new music and non-stop touring in 2018. Fueled by Marty Raybon’s distinctive vocals and the band’s skilled musicianship, Shenandoah became well known for delivering such hits as “Two Dozen Roses”, “Church on Cumberland Road” and “Next to You, Next to Me” as well as such achingly beautiful classics as “I Want to be Loved Like That” and the Grammy winning “Somewhere in the Vicinity of the Heart” duet with Alison Krauss. Today that legacy continues as original members Raybon and Mike McGuire reunite to launch a new chapter in Shenandoah’s storied career. Raybon and McGuire formed the band in 1984 in Muscle Shoals, Alabama with bassist Ralph Ezell, keyboardist Stan Thorn and guitarist Jim Seales. Shenandoah inked a deal with the legendary label and began establishing a national fan base with their self-titled debut in 1987. However, it was the band’s sophomore effort, The Road Not Taken, that spawned their first top ten hits—“She Doesn't Cry Anymore” and “Mama Knows.” Shenandoah followed with three consecutive No. 1 hits—“Church on Cumberland Road,” “Sunday in the South” and “Two Dozen Roses.” “The Church on Cumberland Road” spent two weeks at the top of the chart and made country music history as it marked the first time that a country band's first No. 1 single spent more than one week at the summit. It also helped propel sales of the album to more than half a million units thus giving Shenandoah their first gold album. Shenandoah became known for delivering songs that celebrated the importance of faith and family while reveling in the joys of small town life. “Next to You, Next to Me” topped the charts for three weeks and “Somewhere in the Vicinity of the Heart,” a beautiful duet with Alison Krauss, won a Country Music Association Award for Vocal Event of the year and a Grammy for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Shenandoah also won the Academy of Country Music’s Vocal Group of the Year in 1991. Shenandoah recorded nine studio albums and placed 26 singles on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
