Outshyne

Country band Outshyne has signed a music distribution deal with Sony RED. The company will assist in the distribution of Outshyne’s project Startin’ Over, which includes the single “Moonlight Crush,” penned by Marv Green, Rodney Clawson and Blake Wise.

“I have been a huge fan since the first time I heard them back in October 2013,” said Dewayne Brown, Southeastern Director of Artist & Label Development at RED Nashville. “The song ‘Moonlight Crush’ is written by some of the most unbelievable songwriters here in Nashville, and Waylon [Owings]’s vocal blew me away. But it’s not just Waylon, I love what the boys – Josh, Casey, Jason and Smiley – bring to the party.”
