Jerrod Niemann Frees The Music

Jerrod Niemann unveiled the album artwork for his October 2 release, Free The Music, featuring actual photographs from instruments used when recording.

The Sea Gayle Records/Arista Nashville release, which Niemann co-produced and contributed co-writing credits to every track, is currently available for pre-order on Amazon.com.

“This album is my interpretation of how I feel about country right now,” said Neimann. “The pedal steel guitar has come to define country music, but there were years and years of country being made before that instrument was even invented. Horns have been in country going back to the 1920s, and fiddles and other string instruments date back even further.”

In other Niemann news, the singer recently visited Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt to help launch Musicians on Call’s 11^th Weekly Bedside Performance Program, celebrating five years of service in Nashville. The singer performed his latest single, “Shinin’ On Me” (photo below).
