MEG RECORDS PRESS RELEASE / FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Tom MacLear signs 3 year deal with OPUS ONE ARTIST SERIES.
'Tom MacLear is a world-class country musician, songwriter and producer. His
seasoned creative chops have led him to write for such greats as Brad Paisley and
Annie Lennox while his sheer talent and musicianship have had him touring with
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Emmy Lou Harris.
All of MacLear's talents have culminated in the production of his newest studio
album. It features male and female vocalists as well as a peppering of other talented
musicians conducted around Tom's signature slide guitar playing. Although Tom
is an established multi-stylist with the ability to blend many genres together, his
country roots and rock influences are certainly the focus of this album. Tom MacLear's
music is nothing but a genuine foray into country-rock sounds paired masterfully
with classically great songwriting.'
