“We are so excited about Rae and the passion she brings to her songwriting and her riveting performance. We can’t wait to share her music with our radio partners,” said Pete O’Heeron, President of Cold River Records. “There are great things on the horizon for her career!”

Solomon is the first act signed to the label after a summer-long talent search spearheaded by Cold River Records’ VP of Promotion Jim Dandy. “The Cold River team couldn’t be more excited to have her as part of our family. Rae is an electrifying performer and she is headed directly into the studio to cut music for her first album on Cold River,” shares Dandy.

“My entire life I’ve been an entertainer. I always dreamed of hearing my songs on country radio and playing my music on stage. I’m so grateful to Pete O’Heeron, and the entire Cold River Records team for believing in my vision and allowing me to continue to be a dreamer, and I look forward to those dreams becoming realities. I’m ecstatic to be a part of the incredible family they have created and I can’t wait to see what the new adventure holds,” said Rae Solomon.
