Jenna Paulette Announces Partnership with Justin Boots

Paulette Joins Reba McEntire and George Strait as the 
Only Artists Partnered w/ the Beloved Boot Brand

Jenna Paulette’s trademark mix of grit and vulnerability are simply a result of her Texas cowgirl upbringing. It’s that genuineness that has endeared Paulette to Music City, making her a perfect fit for her recently announced partnership with beloved cowboy boot brand, Justin Boots. The deal places Paulette alongside country icons Reba McEntire and George Strait as the only entertainers partnered with the brand.
 
For Paulette, the partnership is a dream realized. Having worn the boots while growing up and working cattle, Paulette reflects, “Justin Boots…gosh I wore Ropers to work in and that’s why I put ‘new Justin Boots’ in my song ‘Country In the Girl.’ I really believe that song helped me find my footing with my audience.
 
“This partnership means the world to me, from what Justin does for Rodeo Athletes to the way they represent agriculture and support the future of it. It’s an honor to get to further the heart of their brand together. I can’t wait to see what we do.”
 
“We are excited to announce our partnership with Jenna Paulette. Jenna’s unwavering commitment to authentic storytelling and her deep connection with her fans perfectly aligns with the core values of Justin Boots,” said Taylor Morton, Public Relations Manager at Justin Boots. “This partnership goes beyond just boots - it signifies a shared dedication to celebrating the western way of life. We are immensely proud to welcome Jenna to the Justin family and are thrilled to be part of Jenna’s journey.” 
 
“I’m so honored to be named among just two other artists that have represented the cowboy so authentically in country music. George Strait and Reba McEntire have been on the forefront of my mind as an artist as I have charted my path,” Paulette adds in awe. “They live what they sing, nothing can be more important to me than that, and now my name will be on a short list with theirs as partners for the Justin Brand. What a dream.“
 
Paulette arrived March 31 with her debut album The Girl I Was, which gained critical acclaim, with Billboard noting she’s a “worthy contender in a new crop of artists weaving their unique perspectives and backgrounds into their music.” A 2022 CMT Next Women of Country and March Apple Country Riser of the Month, Paulette reflects on heartbreak and redemption with a delivery that’s reminiscent of her greatest musical heroes – Gene Autry, The Chicks and Miranda Lambert among them. 

About Jenna Paulette:
A CMT Next Women of Country in 2022 and Apple Music’s Country Riser of the Month for March, singer-songwriter Jenna Paulette — a cowgirl who came of age amid the gritty realities of ranch life — is part of Nashville’s growing wave of female artists who are rewriting the rules and charting their own paths. Her finely calibrated blend of toughness and sensitivity is on full display in tracks like “Country in the Girl” and “Pretty Ugly.” Her most recent single, "Anywhere the Wind Blows," gives a glimpse into Paulette's songwriting abilities and is a whimsical reflection on her mainstream presentation of western living. Paulette settled in Nashville in 2015, where she struck up a mentorship with Ashley Gorley – a veteran songwriter with 50+ No. 1 tunes under his belt – which ultimately led to her publishing deal with Sea Gayle Music in June 2021. Since collaborating with songwriters Will Bundy, Ashley McBryde, Rhett Akins and Jessie Jo Dillion, as well as opening for Mason Ramsey, Parmalee, John Michael Montgomery, Clay Walker and most recently Aaron Watson, Paulette has landed brand partnerships with Justin Boots, Boot Barn, Oak and Eden Whiskey and Ranch Water. Last year, Paulette continued to spotlight her authentic western lifestyle, performing the national anthem at the Professional Bull Riding World Finals; as well as day working on ranches across Texas, securing opening slots and performing in multiple festivals including CMA Fest. With her debut album, The Girl I Was, available now, Paulette continues building her audience as fans get a deeper look into who she is as an artist.

NAPALM RECORDS and AUSTROVINYL Sign Strategic Partnership in Response to Rising Vinyl Demand

NAPALM RECORDS and AUSTROVINYL Join Forces for Strategic Partnership in Response to Rising Vinyl Demand

To Build New Production Plant, Transparent Factory Experience and Special Event Location

Napalm Records, one of the world’s leading independent Rock & Metal labels, and vinyl manufacturing company Austrovinyl – both based in Styria, Austria – are thrilled to announce that they have joined forces for a strategic partnership, strengthening the domestic music market and expanding international structures.

The new collaboration will cover the increased in-house demand for vinyl, while strategically expanding business for Napalm Records, who have already ventured into different fields with their booking agency “Napalm Events” as well as their festival brands “Metal On The Hill” and “Rock In Graz”. Austrovinyl, located in the midst of the beautiful Styrian thermal spa & wine region, will continue to establish itself as one of the most state-of-the-art record pressing plants in Europe, and a reliable, high-quality producer of vinyl records.

Together, the companies will support the local and international music landscape and all its artists, bands and labels within various genres of rock and pop, hard and heavy, jazz and world music, alternative and indie, as well as techno, electro, hip-hop, soul and many others.

This growth and the enormous increase in demand for vinyl requires an extension of the company’s production and storage capacities. Therefore, a new pressing plant will be built in Fehring, Austria (with the nearest airport in Graz), within the same scenic Styrian region as Austrovinyl’s current location. At this new location, the machinery will be expanded onto a floor space of approx. 800m2, where the production can be tripled.

Taking this step will also create new jobs, creating further growth and expansion after the number of employees at Austrovinyl already doubled in 2021.

In addition to Napalm Records and Austrovinyl expanding production and storage capacities, the new building will also include a transparent factory experience that provides a complete world of experience around the vinyl record – a paradise for all music lovers! The manufacture and production of a record can be experienced firsthand during guided tours in the context of the "Erlebniswelt Wirtschaft" (world of business experience). On more than 200 m², the newest music on vinyl and live music will be presented in a café/club atmosphere. This will include a store area, where the latest pressings and productions of Austrovinyl can be purchased, as well as the releases and special editions out via Napalm Records and many other vinyl classics and specials in the various genres listed above.

The project planning is in the final stages and start of construction is scheduled for January 2022, with the goal of opening by the end of the second quarter of 2022.

Napalm Records CEO Thomas Caser on the collaboration:

"Regional & international power united! The philosophy of Austrovniyl and the passion with which this company is led coincides with the ideals of Napalm Records.

Strategically, we are opening another business field here and are also prepared for the future in this area!"

Austrovinyl Managing Director Peter Wendler adds:

NAPALM and AUSTROVINYL - this is how business has to work in times like these: together in unity!

Creating great music releases with sustainable value in highest quality and wealth of ideas - in an ever exciting, innovative and globally active creative industry - strengthening and developing the advantages of regionality with motivated and top-trained employees.”
