Nashville, TN – Rising Country star Denny Strickland heads to Nashville for a momentous CMA Music Festival 2016 week with a limited-edition EP in hand and a schedule that includes 11 shows, multiple Meet & Greet appearances and his own “Fan Fair X” booth (#733).
The special SWERVE ON EP features four brand new songs and two fan favorites. In addition to the title track, the EP includes: “Get A Grip,” “Stay Gone” and the hard-driving live show favorite “Far Cry From Some.” Denny’s composition, “Damn Babe,” is featured in a “stripped down” version, produced by Sean Giovanni who steps into the chair after engineering mega-hits for Big & Rich, John Rich, Meatloaf and Cowboy Troy. The disc closes with Denny’s Top 40 MusicRow CountryBreakout™ Chart hit, the hypnotic “How Far You Wanna Go.” This project will be available for purchase only during the Festival. Limited fan giveaways will trend throughout the event and attendees should stay tuned to Denny’s socials for updates and opportunities.

Never idle, the talented Arkansas native debuted his latest Cellar Sessions acoustic cover video of David Allan Coe’s “The Ride” in over 100 MILLION homes via Country Fix. In addition to popular videos (“Swerve On,” “How Far You Wanna Go”) directed by Brian Harstine (Dolly Parton, Ke$ha), Strickland has released covers of Country classics by George Strait, Conway Twitty, Kris Kristofferson and others. The Cellar Sessions are a follow up to Denny’s popular Dive Sessions videos. “This collection allows me to get outside of my ‘comfort zone,’ and pay tribute to the great songs and singers of the past,” Denny states. “My focus is on edgier, more contemporary material, but at the end of the day, these songs inspired me and I owe a debt of thanks for that.”
