It’s Looking “Sunny and 75” For Joe Nichols As His New Single Becomes The Artist’s Biggest Country Radio Add Week of His Career
Nashville, TN May 14, 2013 — Joe Nichols will have the biggest country radio add week of his career this week with “Sunny and 75,” his lead single for Red Bow Records. This latest hit for Nichols got 52 first week adds, making it not only the biggest add week of his career, but also the second most added song at country radio this week. Nichols was one of the first artists signed to Red Bow Records when it opened in October 2012.
“I have always admired Joe and what he has done in his career. After discussing him with radio, I found Joe has many believers who were just looking for that next big hit from him,” said Renee’ Leymon, VP Promotion, Red Bow Records. “I can’t wait for radio to hear the entire CD as it is chock full of hits.”
“Sunny and 75” was written by Michael Delaney, Paul Jenkins and Jason Sellers and is the lead single from Nichols’ upcoming, as yet untitled CD, set for release this Fall. But prior to that, Nichols fans will be able to see him throughout the summer as he tours the States. The artist will also be a part of CMA Music Festival in Nashville this June, with a performance at Riverstages on June 6th and his annual Fan Club party later that same day, this year taking place at 3rd and Lindsley.

ABOUT JOE NICHOLS
When Merle Haggard tells a reporter that he sees Joe Nichols as an artist who will carry his own musical legacy forward, you pay attention. In his young career, Nichols has received four Grammy nominations, won every conceivable “best new artist” award and had the New York Times name his CD Real Things one of the best recordings of the year in all musical genres.
The Rogers, Arkansas native literally burst onto the country music scene with two back to back #1 hit singles, “The Impossible” and Brokenheartsville,” and from that point began loading his trophy case with awards, honors and accolades. The hits kept coming with four # 1 singles and eight Top 10 hits, including “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off,” “Gimmie That Girl,” “If Nobody Believed In You,” “What’s A Guy Gotta Do,” “Size Matters,” and “I’ll Wait For You” cracking the upper echelons of the country music charts.
Nichols’ body of work maintains an impressive quality and standard. While paying tribute to those influences that came before him, like Haggard, the music has always had a fresh and modern feel. “Sunny and 75,” his debut single for new imprint Red Bow Records, carries on that tradition.
