About Kristen Kelly:
Arista Nashville recording artist Kristen
Kelly is new on the radio with the irresistible groove of "Ex-Old Man," a true-to-life song she wrote with Paul Overstreet and the first single from her major label debut album, releasing later this year. With influences spanning country, classic rock, and the blues, Kristen describes her music as "a little more grease than polish," pairing powerhouse vocals with lyrics that hit home about real life and real emotion. In its debut week at radio, "Ex-Old Man" was already turning heads, marking the first time in Country Aircheck chart history that a new female artist's debut single topped the most-added list. A
Texas native, Kristen co-wrote 7 of the 11 songs on her upcoming album, helmed by nine-time CMA Award-winning producer, Tony Brown. Keep up with Kristen online at http://www.KristenKellyMusic.com and on Twitter @KristenKelly.

About Love and Theft:
Love and Theft is a bit different from the group that scored a Top 10 hit two years ago with "Runaway." But the changes that have affected the group—most notably, signing with RCA Records and downsizing to a duo—have actually brought Love and Theft closer to what it originally set out to be: a band that writes, records and performs honest, soulful country music. "
Angel Eyes" is the debut single from Love and Theft's forthcoming self-titled album being released on Tuesday, July 24. "This really feels like a new beginning for us," says Stephen. Eric adds, "We have a new label (RCA), a new producer (Josh Leo), there are two of us now instead of three, but the core of Love and Theft is still the same and our sound is still driven by harmonies. Love and Theft recently received news of their first CMT
Music Awards nomination in the Duo Video of the Year category for "Angel Eyes
