Houser’s Sixth Studio Album Note To Self Set for November 11 as Title Track Climbs the Charts at Country Radio

Following the announcement of his sixth studio album Note To Self, Mississippi native Randy Houser will host the Homecoming Golf & Concert event benefitting the Nikki Mitchell Foundation August 14-15 at Beau Rivage Resort & Casino, MGM Resort International’s iconic waterfront destination resort in Biloxi, Miss. Tickets are on sale now, and every attending ticket holder will also receive a $50 gift card to Icey-Tek Coolers.

The Nikki Mitchell Foundation’s mission is to provide comfort and relief to those affected by pancreatic cancer while raising awareness and searching for a cure.

“I’m honored to host this event benefitting The Nikki Mitchell Foundation,” shares Houser. “I always look forward to an opportunity to give back, and to be able to support this foundation along with so many of my friends means a lot to me.”

“Randy is an integral part of the Nikki Mitchell Foundation’s Artist Board,” shares NMF Director of Development Christa Bowles. “Although he has performed at more NMF shows than we can count, this will be his first time hosting an event for the foundation. We could not be more grateful to have such a generous, caring and talented board member as our Homecoming host.”

As the title track climbs the charts at Country radio, Houser recently announced his plans to release new album Note To Self on November 11 via Magnolia Music Group, the highly anticipated follow-up to 2019’s critically acclaimed Magnolia. Produced by Houser and Blake Chancey, Note To Self features 10 tracks all co-written by the powerhouse vocalist. Pre-order and pre-save HERE.

“Blake and I worked on this record a long time, and I’m really looking forward to sharing the rest of it with the folks who’ve already shown how excited they are for new music,” says the man dubbed as “one of the best voices in the genre” by Rolling Stone.

“This album came together at a time when I was reflecting on who I am and what’s important to me, envisioning the kind of future I’d like to see for myself and my family,” Houser elaborates.

Lead single “Note To Self” marked Houser’s “powerful return” with MusicRow boasting he “remains one of country music’s very finest vocalists. His return is most welcome, especially with such a strong song of regretful hindsight. His extraordinary voice is absolutely fierce as this hair-raising pile driver reaches its climax.”

Album opener “Still That Cowboy” was written by Houser, Matt Rogers and Josh Hoge as an ode to his wife Tatiana as the couple prepares for their second child together, with CMT.com sharing “Houser has never been afraid to sing country music, and ‘Still That Cowboy’ spotlights the genre’s tenets as much as anything Houser has ever released. His baritone rings against the backdrop of the pedal steel guitar as he delivers the song written for his wife.”

Written by Houser with Randy Montana, “Workin’ Man” illuminates the tenacity and persistence of America’s blue-collar workers among the struggles they face day-to-day to support themselves and their families, with Billboardpraising, “Houser yields his enviable vocals with a rough-hewn delivery that lends grit to this radio-friendly track.”

With multiple sold-out shows so far in 2022, including an at-capacity stop at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, Houser wrapped his co-headlining tour with longtime friend Jamey Johnson in April and heads back out on the road this summer for a slew of headlining shows, festival dates and select performances with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cody Johnson and Travis Tritt.

Along with preparing new music and a relentless touring schedule, Houser landed on-screen roles in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming film Killers of the Flower Moon starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and more, as well as the inspiring The Hill starring Dennis Quaid.

ABOUT RANDY HOUSER

Wade Bowen & Friends Raise $500K+ for Waco Nonprofits with Bowen Musicfest 2022

As his six-song EP Where Phones Don’t Work continues to impress fans and critics alike, Wade Bowen celebrated the return of his annual charity concert, with the two-day Shiner Bock Presents Bowen Musicfest 2022 Benefitting the Bowen Family Foundation taking place this past weekend at Baylor University’s McClane Stadium Touchdown Alley and raising over half a million dollars for local nonprofits.

Performing along with Bowen himself on Saturday, April 9 were reigning ACM New Male Artist of the Year and fellow Texan Parker McCollum as well as multi-Platinum songstress Deana Carter, while Sunday, April 10 featured performances from reigning ACM New Female Vocalist of the Year and Song of the Year winner Lainey Wilson as well as GRAMMY Award-winning band Shenandoah. The musical celebration then closed out the weekend with the ever-popular Wade Bowen & Friends All-Star Jam featuring Josh Abbott, Deana Carter, William Clark Green, Casey Donahew, Stoney LaRue, Jamie Lin Wilson, Lee Roy Parnell and Randy Rogers plus surprise guests Cledus T. Judd, William Beckmann and Cody Jinks.

“When we launched our annual Bowen Musicfest and Bowen Classic golf tournament, I never dreamed that we’d still be at it twenty years and millions of dollars later,” reflects Bowen. “I’m so proud of the way my family, friends and hometown continue to step up with hearts and hands to help make Waco a better place. At the Bowen Family Foundation, we believe that Music Heals and I can’t wait to see the good we can do for the community with the funds raised thanks to this incredible group of musicians.”

To date, the annual Bowen Musicfest has allowed the Bowen Family Foundation to help children and families in and around Waco by raising a total of more than $6 million for beneficiaries including March of Dimes Waco, CASA of McLennan & Hill Counties, City of West Disaster Relief, Boys & Girls Clubs of Waco, Inspiración, The Mentoring Alliance and more.

Bowen took the stage at this year’s event with an arsenal of new music after finding a renewed sense of focus and passion over the past year-plus. “Two decades into his music career, Bowen's music retains a newcomer’s energetic fervor, melded with his signature blend of sounds from across the wide spectrum of Texas music,” praises Billboardof the musical reawakening. Meanwhile, MusicRow reminds us that “the perennially popular” singer/songwriter “can always be counted on for Country excellence” as demonstrated by lead single “When Love Comes Around” and follow-up “Phones Don’t Work,” with the title track celebrated in the publication’s latest “DISClaimer” Awards as “a perfect performance” from the “steadfast, real-country Texan.”

About Wade Bowen
Twenty years and some 4,000 shows into his career, the name Wade Bowen has become synonymous with authentic Country music – and for good reason. An artistic descendant of American icons like Guy Clark, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Robert Earl Keen and more, Bowen is a contemporary link in a Texan chain of roots-rock poets stretching back more than 50 years – yet his ambition never ended at the state line.

Seen as one of the genre’s finest and most authentic modern voices, Bowen’s approach stays rooted in tradition, but also stands on the creative cutting edge. His focus remains on writing unique songs with a literary quality and shifting his sonic territory to match his life, as evidenced by uplifting lead single “When Love Comes Around” and follow-up “Phones Don’t Work” off his forthcoming EP, Where Phones Don’t Work, available everywhere now via Thirty Tigers.

Wielding a knack for direct, poetic songwriting that never panders, Bowen matches his gravel-road growl to an organic sound spanning the whole of Texas and beyond, tapping both country and rock influences. A dozen albums have shown his sonic diversity – including six studio sets, two live collections, a gospel album and an ongoing series of buddy-country hits with fellow Texan, Randy Rogers. Along the way, he’s scored hits and accolades based on quality, not quantity, and continues to perform around 200 nationwide shows each year – including multiple appearances on the venerated Grand Ole Opry stage.
