SANTA BARBARA RECORDS INTRODUCES GLOBAL RADIO TO THE “CALIAMERICANA” SOUND

Santa Barbara Records is pleased to announce the release of their debut label compilation, “CaliAmericana”.

This 16-track debut gathers 8 incredible artists, each contributing 2 songs —one original and one California-themed cover. The collection clearly articulates the spirit and feel that we call “CaliAmericana” -- a broad spectrum of styles and performances encompassing the distinct sounds rooted in the space between Bakersfield‘s country-western grit & Laurel Canyon’s golden acoustic glow.

“CaliAmericana”, embodies this grand tradition while also reaffirming California’s historic place as home to some of the Americana, Folk and Acoustic Roots artists ever recorded. A unique conflation of rural and urban, mountains and sea, dessert and snow that reflects and distills the American experience. This unique compilation record introduces eight incredible new artists representing the diversity that is at the core of the Americana sound: Jessie Payo, Omar Velasco, Hana Aluna, Danny McGaw, Tina Schlieske,

Mendeleyev, Hanna Siglin, and ERLAND run the range from country to folk, rock, and soul.

“At Santa Barbara Records, our artists represent the diverse influences and inclusive ideals of Americana music while speaking from an authentic and original perspective,” said Tariqh Akoni, Director of A&R - Santa Barbara Records.“The music we’re putting out roots us in that ephemeral magic that is central California. It’s Americana through a Santa Barbara lens.”

“CaliAmericana” takes an inspired, multi-artist approach to defining a sound that is both authentic and relevant," said Robert Weingartz, Chairman - AirPlay Direct. "This record very successfully blends many artists and crosses several genres and boundaries with ease, introducing the listeners to the real-world sound of ‘CaliAmericana’… well done!”
