NEW SINGLE FROM TENILLE!

New single from

2013 CCMA Awards Nominee

colored HTS PHOTO3

From her album

‘LIGHT’

“Halfway to Somewhere is all about seeing the brighter side! Instead of worrying why it isn’t all the way, it’s about finding joy in the journey and realizing that the best part can be in the process and the exciting possibility of an unknown destination. I love this song’s carefree energy of taking in every moment and being grateful for it. For me personally in my life right now, I truly feel like the road is where my heart belongs, connecting with music and people on an unforgettable adventure.  I had such a fun time writing this with my cowriter’s Ron Robinson and RyLee Madison and I hope it finds people with the urge to turn it up and sing along, wherever they are going!” – TENILLE

“WASN’T THAT A PARTY”

 

A cover of The Irish Rovers song!

“I’ve been listening to this song ever since I was a kid. I remember seeing the Irish rovers television show with my family in the early 80’s and loving it. Music was a big part of my life from a real early age. With its tradition Irish feel, its always been a song that reminds me of home, my crazy fun family and very much a song us east coasters love to lay claim to.

I’ve been playing live music in clubs festivals, big venues and every where else unimaginable and this song was always a song that got people moving in a big way. Young or old. Its a universal song for all ages and everyone knows most of the words. Always a hit when I break it out!” — Jason Greeley

Award-Winning Canadian Country Artist Tenille Releases New Album “Light”!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 14,
2013

 

AWARD-WINNING CANADIAN COUNTRY ARTIST TENILLE RELEASEs Light ON march 12, 2013

 

tenille hosts Big HEARTS FOR BIG KIDS ANNUAL BENEFIT CONCERT
FEBRUARY 23

 

Toronto, ON – 2012 CCMA Slaight Music Humanitarian Award recipient Tenille will release her sophomore album Light on Tuesday, March 12, 2013. The album features the single “Dear Heart,” which is currently being played on Canadian Country radio. Additionally, on February 23 Tenille will host her annual Big Hearts For Big Kids fundraiser at the TEC Centre in her hometown of Grande Prairie, Alberta. The evening will include performances by Tenille as well as top Canadian Country acts including Deric Ruttan, Jason McCoy, Victoria Banks, The Jeffersons, Sean Hogan and Wyatt. To date, Big Hearts For Big Kids has raised nearly $200,000. All proceeds go to Sunrise House; a Grand Prairie-based, emergency youth shelter that serves a wide area of Northern Alberta.

 

Based on the concept that light and hope can be found anywhere, even in the darkest corners of a person’s life, Light showcases Tenille’s substantial growth as an artist and her belief that music has the power to motivate people to make positive changes in their own lives and the lives of others. Nowhere is that clearer than on songs like “Pay It Forward,” the theme song for her 2012-2013 Canadian ‘Play It Forward’ tour, and lead single “Dear Heart,” co-written with Gordie Sampson (Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride), Caitlyn Smith (Rascal Flatts) and Kelly Archer (Jason Aldean, Dustin Lynch) – which expresses Tenille’s willingness to share her own vulnerability and openness with the world.

 

“I can’t wait to share Light with everyone,” says Tenille. “The songs and the messages on this record mean so much to me and I had a blast working on it with an amazing team of musicians and my producer, Fred Mollin. Watching them breathe life into these songs was an unforgettable experience.”

 

On the strength of her 2011 Royalty Records debut, Real, which entered the SoundScan Country chart at #13 the first week of its release, Tenille became the youngest artist ever nominated for the coveted Canadian Country Music Award for Female Artist of the Year (2011), and in 2012 the youngest recipient of the CCMA Slaight Music Humanitarian Award. That same year the 18-year-old’s talent and dedication garnered her the Grand Prairie and District Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Award for Young Entrepreneur of the Year. In early 2013, Tenille took home the Association of Country Music in Alberta’s Fan’s Choice Award, won the ACMA Female Artist of the Year Award for the second year running and was honoured with a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.

2012 CCMA SLAIGHT MUSIC HUMANITARIAN AWARD RECIPIENT,
TENILLE PRESENTS….. THE PLAY IT FORWARD SCHOOL TOUR!
OFFICIAL HASHTAG: ##piftour

 

  Most recently honoured with the 2012 CCMA Slaight Music Humanitarian Award, Tenille presents The Play It Forward School Tour beginning October 15th, 2012. This exciting launch of the Play It Forward tour will take place in Tenille’s home province of Alberta between October 15th and November 9th, 2012.

The Play It Forward School tour is a 50 minute in-school presentation that uses music and storytelling to spark interest, ignite change, and fuel passion while recognizing positive leadership efforts of our nation’s youth! Particular emphasis given to selfless, community-minded behavior that helps others; essentially, PLAYING IT FORWARD!

During the presentation, Tenille and staff members of the school will call on 1 – 3 pre-determined leaders out of the student body who will be recognized for their actions. Each leader will receive honorariums to Play It Forward…. Additionally each leader will also be entered to win the final mass draw at the end of the tour! The final draw at the end, will include a $10,000 prize pack consisting of a $5,000 donation to a charity of choice that the chosen leader is passionate about, and a $5,000 monetary prize to the school of the winning leader to be put towards a program that Plays It Forward.

Tour dates will be announced on Friday September 28th, 2012.

ABOUT TENILLE

  Awarded the 2012 Alberta Country Music Association Award for Female Artist of the Year, Grande Prairie’s Tenille first experienced national media attention at age nine, when she was hoisted on to an Edmonton stage to perform with Shania Twain. It was then she declared, “I really want to be a singer – that’s my dream.” And and so her dream unfolds…

Tenille was signed to Royalty Records at seventeen years old and was selected to sing when the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay went through her hometown. Later that year, she took the stage at the CCMA New Artist Showcase and her song “Time Machine” placed in the Top 50 for the International Songwriter’s Competition in the youth category. Tenille’s exceptional songwriting skills have aligned her with Nashville SESAC Legacy Award Winner Stan Webb, and multi JUNO nominated and CCMA Award winners Tim Taylor, Byron Hill and Troy Kokol.

One year later working with Nashville-based Canadian producer Fred Mollin, Tenille released her debut album, REAL, in 2011. The album reached #13 on the Soundscan Country chart in its first week and earned Tenille the title of youngest ever nominee for Female Artist of the Year at the Canadian Country Music Awards.

On July 9, 2012 Tenille’s latest single, “Starts With You” was serviced to Canadian country radio.

A strong advocate for ‘giving back,’ Tenille has contributed to fundraising efforts for Slave Lake, Haiti and is the creator behind the annual music event Big Hearts for Big Kids benefiting Sunrise House, the only youth emergency shelter north of Edmonton. In the three-year event tenure, $194,000 was raised which helped to keep the shelter doors open. Her efforts have been recognized by Chris Warkentin, Canada’s Member of Parliament for Peace River and she was also recognized by the Grande Prairie Volunteer Services Bureau Association and awarded a Leaders of Tomorrow Award.

On September 8th, 2012 at the Canadian Country Music Association Awards in Saskatoon, SK, Tenille was honoured with the 2012 Slaight Music Humanitarian Award, previously won in 2011 by Johnny Reid and Gord Bamford in 2010.

Tenille’s Play It Forward tour begins October 2012 in her home province of Alberta and will continue to move throughout the country in the spring 2013. Additional school tour dates and locations will be announced shortly.
