MASON TO PERFORM CHART-CLIMBING FAMOUS FOR THE FIRST TIME ON U.S. TELEVISION ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA, JULY 26
Big Loud Records and Atlantic Records’ internet phenomenon Mason Ramsey will launch his debut Famous EP on July 20. The six-track nod to country classics with a modern twist features his own tip-of-the-hat to his idol Hank Williams, Sr. with renditions of such hits as Jambalaya (On The Bayou) and I Saw The Light, plus brand new originals like The Way I See It and chart-rising lead single, Famous.
Penned by Tyler Hubbard, Corey Crowder (Chris Young, A Thousand Horses), Sarah Buxton (Chris Lane, Keith Urban), and Canaan Smith (Florida Georgia Line, Love & Theft), Famous – dubbed “The Song Of The Summer” by Refinery29 – rocketed to #1 on the iTunes Country Songs chart immediately upon release.
Critics can’t get enough of Ramsey’s signature yodel as first heard worldwide in a viral video (now with 53.9M views!) of him performing Hank Williams, Sr.’s Lovesick Blues in an aisle at his local Walmart. Rolling Stone hailed of his recording, “He nails the tricky yodelling parts – as one would expect – but also cruises through the dramatic dives and swoops of Williams’ melody with ease, never sounding like he’s merely trying to copy his country hero but instead adding his own flair.”
With high-profile festival performances (CMA Fest, iHeartCountry Festival, Stagecoach, and Coachella) and red carpet appearances (Radio Disney Music Awards, CMT Music Awards and Billboard Music Awards) under his belt, Ramsey will return to Nashville’s iconic Grand Ole Opry to celebrate the EP’s release. He’s also gearing up to introduce Famous for the first time on U.S. television with his debut on Good Morning America on July 26.
