THE CHAPMANS RETURN TO RADIO WITH
“The Redwood Hill”
Free Fan Exclusive Download
NASHVILLE – June 30, 2008 – Bluegrass band The Chapmans return to radio this week with a brand new single. “The Redwood Hill” was written by singer/songwriter Gordon Lightfoot. “When we were younger we used to listen to the Country Gentlemen do this song,” comments Jeremy Chapman. “We wanted to pay homage to their version with the solos and the arrangement, while putting The Chapmans’ harmonies and lead vocal ideas to it.”
The release of the single comes after a brief hiatus from radio. “We took some time off the road and out of the studio to allow our lead singer John to be at home for the birth of his first baby, Kylie Grace Chapman,” Chapman continues. The Chapmans found themselves eager to get back to recording and went into the studio recently to begin work on a new album. After much demand from fans, the band decided to release a new single. “We are still working on the album, and we’ll release it once we’ve determined which label we are going to align ourselves with.”
In the meantime, The Chapmans are offering the single as a Fan Exclusive Free download available at http://www.chap-tv.com/.
