NASHVILLE, Tenn. — For Jerrod Niemann,
10 is a magic number. He began performing at the young age of 10, was
nominated as the ACM New Artist Of The Year after 10 years of
songwriting in the music business, and Monday night, signed autographs
for a full 10 hours after his Fan Club Party at the 2012 CMA Festival.
Now, the platinum-selling, “Lover, Lover” hit-maker will release his
sophomore major label album release, Free The Music, in the 10th month, on October 2 (on Sea Gayle Records/Arista Nashville). Fans can pre-order it on Amazon now by clicking here: http://amzn.to/LfBmWJ.

“Free The Music is an album
where I wanted to do just that,” says Niemann. “It’s a project
honoring many different layers and colors that have appeared in the
country genre since recorded music began.”

It took Niemann a full two years to record Free The Music,
but he wanted to record it from a non-traditional standpoint,
regardless of time. He used brasswind horns throughout, and had his live
band lay down the tracks instead of hiring studio musicians. Moreover,
he used a recording technique called The Clasp during the production of
each song on the record.

Once again joining forces with Dave Brainard (Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury)
who co-produced the new album with him in Nashville, Niemann’s unique
musical flare is evident on the entire record, especially the song “Real
Women Drink Beer,” (which is the theme of many of his merch items).
Blending two extremes: rockabilly and reggae together, Niemann created a
sound that sounds well, very much like country.

Niemann co-wrote the new album’s first single, “Shinin’ On Me,” with friends Lee Brice, Rob Hatch and Lance Miller. He also collaborated with guest vocalist Colbie Caillat on the soulful ballad, “All About You.”
