Memphis-based rock trio Ingram Hill is hard
at work on their next album, which will be released in 2012. The band
has just signed a deal with agent Zach Mullinax at Variety Artists
International, who will be responsible for booking the band’s tour dates
going forward. Additionally, Ingram Hill is already confirmed to perform
at Hotel Carolina – Philadelphia in January (
www.welcometothehotelcarolina.com) and on Rock Boat XII, which sails
from New Orleans in March 2012 ( www.therockboat.com).
Says band lead singer Justin Moore about the
new partnership and recording plans: “We couldn't be happier about
working with Zach now and starting a new album! It's such a privilege to
have the opportunity to record new music, and we certainly are going to
take full advantage of it. It's also very exciting to have new energy
and fresh ideas in our camp, which makes Zach a perfect fit for us!”
In June, Ingram Hill released an acoustic
album, “Blue Room Afternoon,” which is available physically at shows and
on the band’s web store; iTunes is the exclusive download retailer for
the album. Produced by lead vocalist/guitarist Justin Moore, the album
is of the “living room sessions” sort – an intimate re-recording of past
hits and fan favorites. “Blue Room Afternoon” followed on the heels of
2010’s “Look Your Best,” which was produced by Rick Beato (Billionaire,
Michelle Malone, Flickerstick, Shinedown); the band had worked with
Beato on their first full-length, 2004’s “June’s Picture Show.” The band
was previously signed to Hollywood Records and released two albums on
the label: the aforementioned “June’s Picture Show,” which boasted two
Billboard charting Hot AC radio hits (“Will I Ever Make It Home” and
“Almost Perfect,” both of which also appeared on “Blue Room Afternoon”
in a new acoustic format); and 2007’s “Cold In California.” Ingram Hill
has toured extensively and has shared stages with Maroon 5, Hanson,
Sister Hazel, Hootie and the Blowfish, and Better Than Ezra. Ingram Hill
is: Justin Moore (lead vocals, guitar), Phil Bogard (guitar), Zach Kirk
(bass).
