CJ Garton delivers a witty, high-energy country anthem with “Long Story Short,” blending classic storytelling with traditional country attitude. Built around a clever “yada yada” hook, the song follows the unraveling of a relationship through humorous, relatable moments—lost fishing trips, pink walls, and a sold recliner—leading to a liberating, tongue-in-cheek ending. Driven by strong melodies, playful lyrics, and an authentic outlaw-country edge, the track showcases CJ’s natural charisma and down-home charm. Fans of personality-driven, radio-friendly country with a traditional backbone and modern polish will connect instantly. “Long Story Short” fits seamlessly on playlists highlighting contemporary country, working-class anthems, and clever storytelling songs.

 Allow me to introduce you to Bee Smith!

https://www.facebook.com/beesmusicofficial/
Independent UK country artist Bee is set to release a deeply moving rendition of Willie Nelson’s classic Always on My Mind — a release with purpose that goes far beyond the music. Timed for Dec 2025, Bee’s version aims to raise awareness around mental health and honour those affected by suicide. “This song has always carried a message of love and reflection,” Bee shares, “and I wanted to dedicate it to anyone who’s ever lost someone, or struggled in silence themselves, particularly over the festive season.”

To coincide with this release, Bee is starting a "Light A Candle campaign" across her social media, which aims to keep the conversation going by asking the public to light a candle in support of mental health.  A portion of proceeds from the Light a Candle merchandise collection will go toward mental health and veteran charities in both the UK and US, as Bee continues to use her platform to encourage open conversations and compassion in a world that often forgets to check in.  Bee says, "Mental health touches every one of us in some way. Always on My Mind is my way of saying, ‘You matter, and you’re not forgotten', particularly in the season that can feel extremely isolating for those who are struggling".

Thank you, 

Kayden Gordon

Terri Lynn Owens



Terri Lynn Owens is a veteran of The Minneapolis music scene. Taylor Clarik of the Dispatch included Terri as one of the best guitar players in the Twin Cities citing her work in THE APRIL FOOLS. 

In the early 1980’s Terri toured extensively with THE BABYSITTERS fronted by Roxxy Hall followed by a five year stint in THE FLAMIN’ OH’s, fronted by Robert Wilkinson. 

The band recorded two LP’s for Blackberry Way Records including the Billboard recommended record “Paint the Sky”. The title track (Composed by Terri & Robert) garnered extensive airplay on FM stations in Minneapolis as well as reginal airplay in the five state area and beyond. 

The song “Skinny Legs” has been placed in the Steven Soderberg produced “Red Oaks” for Amazon TV. Next up Terri joined Rounder Records recording artists TETES NOIRES for a tour of the east coast that kicked off at the infamous World Theatre in ST Paul and included dates at The Knitting Factory in NY and Maxwells in Hoboken, NJ. 

In 1988 TETES NOIRES lead singer Camille Gage directed a father’s day performance at The Walker Art Center that included Terri’s song “Oh Daddy” later released on MICHAEL OWENS CD The Devil’s Doorway. 

In 1989 Jimmy Jam hosted a New Year’s Eve show on TPT Channel 2 TV in Mpls. THE DAUGHTERS OF INVENTION, featuring Camille Gage and Terri Owens both late of TETES NOIRES, closed out the show with their original composition “BRAVE HAPPY NEW YEAR.” 

The song was recorded and released by TRUANT LOVERS on Blackberry Way in 2012. She joined the power pop band SONICBOUQUET featuring songwriter extraordinaire Robert Langhorst. 

The band released several records on Blackberry Way and opened for Tommy Keene at First Avenues 7th Street Entry. Next up was a stint in AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE featured at The Basilica Block Party followed by several years and two CD’s released by Blackberry Way recording artists THE APRIL FOOLS. 

Along with husband Michael Owens she composed “CANDY CANE GIRL” garnering airplay around the world. Terri plays on numerous recordings as a session musician including Mandolin on The Leatherwoods release for Peter Jesperson’s Twin/Tone Records offshoot Medium Cool that featured Tim O’Reagan currently with THE JAYHAWKS.

Blackberry Way Records is pleased to announce the arrival of Twin Cities music veteran Terri Lynn Owens first solo album “DREAMLAND.” The title track was composed for dear friend and music photographer Paul Lundgren. RIP

"I couldn’t love it more. An uncommonly beautiful, and often blues-ey rockin affair. Two things jumped out at me immediately - the exceptional singing, and the level of confidence in the performances. The quality of the song writing comes across loud and clear and the instrumentation is impeccable. Honestly, I love every track here. It has a very contemporary sound, at times it makes me think of current artists like Tristen or Jenny Lewis."-Peter Jespersen/Co-Founder Twin/Tone Records/ former VP A&R New West Records

Since the early 1980’s Terri Lynn Owens has performed with some of the most prestige’s Twin Cites bands including The Babysitters, Flamin’ Oh’s, Tetes Noir, Sonicbouquet & The April Fools.
