Charles Celebrates #EverySingleFriday Milestone With “One Single Year” Concert Wed. July 19th
at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s CMA Theater
Nashville, Tenn. — On Friday (7/7), Charles Esten made history by becoming the first independent country artist to release 52 weekly original songs, back-to-back. He kicked off his #EverySingleFriday music release campaign on July 15, 2016, with, “Through The Blue,” and has released a song “every single Friday” since then, culminating in Friday’s 52nd track titled, “Long Haul.”
To mark this milestone, and to thank everyone involved, Charles will be hosting a free event: the “One Single Year Celebration Concert.” The show will take place at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s CMA Theater on Wednesday, July 19th at 6 PM. Attendance, while free, will require tickets, which become available Monday, July 10 at www.charlesesten.com.
Of the 52nd release, Charles says, “‘Long Haul’ is a funky little promise of fidelity and faithfulness. The title definitely seemed fitting for the one year anniversary of the #EverySingleFriday project because, while I’ve enjoyed every single second of this big endeavor, it has definitely been a LONG HAUL. It took a huge amount of work, not just on my part, but by so many people that helped to make the seemingly impossible happen.”
“Finally, I guess I’d have to admit that all of this, in some sense, has been a kind of personal statement that music isn’t just a hobby to me. It’s a priority. Living in this great city, surrounded by all the incredible writers and musicians I have come to know and work with, has reignited my passion for what was always my first love: music. I honestly can’t conceive of a future that doesn’t include writing, recording, and performing my music as a central part of my life. You might say I’m in it for the long haul.”
