The Medders Release Self-Titled Debut
"Gunslinger" Released For Free Download
Jule Medders, a woodsman & songwriter (for artists like Diamond Rio, Pam Tillis, Billy Dean) and his pretty wife Joy had three sons (Cheyenne, Carson and Will) whom they raised on Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and Johnny Horton in Calhoun, GA. After three very different musical journeys, the brothers have found themselves in Nashville with the addition of piano player Joshua Stauter, prepping to release their debut album under the band name The Medders. Through the process of recording this album, the band received mentorship from Robin Eaton (Butterfly Boucher) and Lij Shaw (Autumn Defense) while all mixing was done by lead singer and songwriter Cheyenne Medders, who just so happens to have a day job as a sound engineer. The Medders self-titled album comes out September 1st. Preview the homegrown masterpiece with their song "Gunslinger" which has been cleared for free download.
Speaking of "clear", did you know the estimated cost to end the World's shortage of water is $10 Billion? That's not much when you consider Americans spend an average of $450 Billion on Christmas every year. The Medders are part of a new cause called Will Play For Water where they play shows to build awareness and money to help bring clean water to countries who need it. They're currently looking to book shows on campuses this fall. But, their upcoming tour won't be their first time on the road. The Medders have travelled all around North America, from Seattle to Montreal and New York to LA with their different bands. The Medders have even performed with Aaron Robinson of Imaginary Baseball League, Beau Jennings of Cheyenne and Country Hall of Famer Merle Haggard.
