Nashville, TN (Top40 Charts/ Kevin Chase Official Website) After signing a deal with KI/Interscope/Universal US last fall, the news for
Kevin Chase keeps on getting better. It was announced in Hamburg, Germany today that
Kevin Chase is bringing his latest collection of songs to European audiences with the multi-national release of "
Hold On Tight" through AGR Television Records/Universal.
The deal was bridged by Toronto-based media/entertainment company Deevel Promotions, spearheaded by Mark Berry and his longterm international affiliation with Universal
Music worldwide. "Recognizing Kevin's social reception, this naturally was the next route to take, and I'm thrilled to help any of our clients take that next step up."
The album contains 14 songs, 8 of which were penned by
Kevin Chase himself. "I am extremely excited to be working with AGR to introduce my music to new audiences," says Chase. "We have had a lot of great international feedback to the new album through the internet, but now we can reach people on a much larger scale."
Kevin Chase is no stranger to working hard to bring his music to the people, having performed at many prestigious festivals and clubs, making national TV appearances, releasing two critically acclaimed albums, receiving award nominations and two Top 40 hits, all in his native Canada. "I can't wait to be touring in
Europe and to meet many of the fans that have contacted me online and a whole pile of new ones. Connecting with the fans is what it is all about for me, so I will keep my suitcases ready to go," he elaborates with his signature smile.
An introductory first single "Outta Sight Outta Mind" will be sent in advance to country radio stations in Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Austria, The Netherlands and England by the end of April. The album "
Hold On Tight" will available in stores and for download in the second half year 2011 and will eventually be released to all 39 countries covered by this deal.
"
Hold On Tight" is a re-branding of Chase's latest album, previously known as "Round 3". "The label felt that the old title may be confusing to the people in
Europe and the Middle East," explains Chase. "My first 2 albums did not get released over there, so we want to start fresh. It's actually kind of cool to be able to completely re-do all of your artwork. The label wants a premium package for their customers, so we will be adding additional content."
Chase is currently preparing to shoot his first video for album release. "The concept is coming together nicely," says Kevin. "There are a few more location details to be ironed out and then we are ready to go. It will be a blast."
Canadian Country fans will be able to see
Kevin Chase live at the Cavendish Beach
Music Festival on July 8th with Johnny Reid, Ricky Skaggs and Australia's Jetty Road.
