STOWTOWN RECORDS

Nashville, TN (January 18, 2022) – The Perrys are thrilled to announce the addition of Jamie Streetman. Jamie is joining the legendary group just as they head into the studio for their next recording on StowTown Records, set to release mid-2022. The first single from this upcoming album will debut on Southern Gospel radio in February and will be available on all digital music platforms on February 18, 2022.

At 29, Jamie has become a familiar voice in gospel music circles, having performed with Paul’s Journey, Master’s Promise and most recently with The Griffith Family. A native of Lufkin, TX, Jamie currently lives in Nashville, TN. He shares, “I count it an honor to be entrusted to carry on the legacy that my predecessors have established before me with The Perrys. I’m excited about this new season and am looking forward to all that it brings!”

In 2021, The Perrys celebrated their 50th year of continuously sharing the message of the Gospel through their powerful music ministry. While recent years have brought a myriad of challenges, the Perrys have felt loved and supported and are ready for this new chapter in their story. “The Perrys are very blessed and honored to have Jamie as a part of our team,” says Libbi Perry Stuffle. “We feel that he will be a great asset to the group and will fit in perfectly with us. The Perrys are very excited about the future and what God has in store for us. Our upcoming project, the first since our 2019 release, is even more exciting with this new group in place.”

Scotty Inman Partners with Main Street: Announces Solo Project

NEWS RELEASE

Nashville, TN (January 17th, 2022) –Award winning vocalist and member of Triumphant Quartet, Scotty Inman is pleased to announce the upcoming release of a solo project as part of a new partnership with Main Street Music & Entertainment.

While his nearly two decade tenure with the fan-favorite Triumphant Quartet has afforded him opportunities too numerous to count, the 4-time BMI awarded singer/songwriter found himself with a considerable catalog of songs personal to him; songs about faith, family and life. 

“I have been blessed to have cuts by not only Triumphant, but several other artists within the genre. However, I realized that some of the songs were messages that I needed to share myself,” shares Scotty Inman.  “A solo project is the perfect opportunity to speak my heart and produce music that might not fit the mold of what I do with Triumphant, but I’m excited to branch out and let listeners get a glimpse into another side of who I am!”

The first single from the project, released on Berry Hill Records, will be released on February 1st, 2022.  Entitled ‘Grow Up Slow,’ the song conveys a father’s wish for his children in a way in which every parent or grandparent can identify.  Accompanied by a moving music video, to be released the same day, the single will be available on all digital & streaming platforms, as well as playing on Southern Gospel radio stations across the country.

“I wrote ‘Grow Up Slow’ specifically about my two kids, however I feel as though it is the heart of every parent.  Getting to, not only write this song with Sonya Isaacs Yeary & Becky Isaacs Bowman for my kids, but also being able to feature them in this music video has been incredible,” adds Inman.

The release of the full-length project, Anywhere Jesus Is, is slated for May 13th.
