So excited to release my new single Sitting on Top of The World featuring G. Love….. produced by CmalProductions. Release date is this Friday, March 24th. Preorder is available NOW!!!!
This song pays homage to everyone who did it in the past all the way back to 1926!
Its our job as the young generation of musicians/producers to break down the genre barriers and evolve music to help kids understand and love this music that is disappearing.
The original song currently sits preserved in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress.
Streaming this Friday on all streaming platforms
Sitting on Top of The World (feat. Sharde Thomas & G. Love)
Last year Chris Mallory and I started performing with just a bass drum and the fife. I don’t like major changes and definitely didn’t know what to expect, but the crowds gave us standing ovations so that was my approval. A few shows and a year later we are happy and finally ready to present it….The Rising Stars presents: The Evolution of Fife and Drum music. Be sure to catch the show March 30th at Blue Tavern in Tallahassee, FL.
