Re-mixed and re-mastered version impacts radio today
August 19, 2014, New York, NY… NYC-based singer/songwriter Brian Mackey announces the re-release of his successful single “Honest Love” in a new version for radio. Back by popular demand, the critically acclaimed EP has been re-mixed and re-mastered with producer Sam Ashworth (Lone Bellow) and engineer Richie Biggs (Civil Wars) in Nashville, TN and hits radio stations in the U.S. and in Canada today. The breakout EP by the same name features hit singles “Color Blue” and “Florida” in addition to the popular “Honest Love” track.
To kick-off the re-release, Brian is joining Feed the Arts for their showcase tonight, August 19, at the legendary Gibson Guitars Showroom in NYC. Brian will be performing “Honest Love” as well as premiering a handful of new songs, and participating in an in-depth interview with Feed the Arts. “I’m excited,” says Mackey. “Feed the Arts has a pretty innovative idea going on with their Time Funding Projects and I’m happy to be a part of it. It’s a cool new way to support super-independent artists, and I can’t wait to swing by the Gibson Showroom and show ’em what we’ve got.”
Brian’s forthcoming album, Broken Heartstrings, will be dropping this fall.
