Troubadour 77<\/p><\/div>\n

Spring is traditionally the time of year when artists like to release new albums. The holiday season, which is a brutal time to release an LP unless you\u2019re named Jay Z or BTS or Billie Eilish, is done, the weather has gotten better and it\u2019s a great time to tour in support of a new disc.<\/p>\n

Troubadour 77\u2019s new album, \u201cRevolution & Redemption,\u201d was scheduled to be released on April 10. It is a collection of songs that touch on life, love, death, dreams, change and acceptance, all themes that seem to be very relevant in these times. Plans were for the release to be followed by an extensive tour. Then, COVID-19 hit hard in March and the bottom dropped out.<\/p>\n

Troubadour 77 is the brainchild of Grammy award-winning singer-songwriters,\u00a0Anna Wilson (Piano\/Lead Vocals) and\u00a0Monty Powell\u00a0(Guitar\/Vocals).<\/p>\n

Troubadour 77 posted the following message on its website \u2013 \u201cThe Revolution & Redemption Tour has been cancelled due to COVID-19. We are doing virtual concerts on our FACEBOOK LIVE page that we call T77 SQUARED CONCERTS. They will air every Thursday evening at 7 p.m. MST.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next edition of \u201cT77 SQUARED CONCERTS\u201d is scheduled for May 28 at 8 p.m. (eastern) at\u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Troubadour77music\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Troubadour 77 has its roots \u2013 well, half of its roots — in Chester County.<\/p>\n

Even though Wilson built a reputation as a \u201cNashville singer-songwriter\u201d who has listened to country music since she was a girl, she is also a Yankee girl who grew up just down the road from Historic Yellow Springs and graduated from Villa Maria Academy.<\/p>\n

Wilson and Powell have been married for 19 years and making music together as artists, songwriters and producers for almost three decades.<\/p>\n

Collectively they have written a dozen Number One songs and countless album cuts that appear on over 70 million records, have co-produced unique special projects that pay tribute to the Eagles, Billy Joel and the Countrypolitan era of music, and penned the international theme song for Habitat for Humanity.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Powell was a key creative force in establishing the mega success story of Keith Urban. He was his early producer and one of Urban\u2019s top collaborators for many years, earning Golden Globe nominations and countless industry awards for the songs they composed together.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy father was a singer\/songwriter,\u201d said Powell, during a phone interview Wednesday evening from their home just outside Ogden, Utah.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up in one of the strange families in the South where it wasn\u2019t considered weird to be a singer-songwriter.<\/p>\n

Powell grew up in Resaca, Georgia. After graduation from high school, he attended Lipscomb University in Nashville.<\/p>\n

\u201cI majored in political science and speech,\u201d said Powell. \u201cBut I never finished. Instead, I got a gig as a guitar player.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson, who grew up in Chester Springs, said, \u201cIt was just the opposite for me. I grew up in a family where music was foreign. They told me \u2013 you can\u2019t get a job in music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson, who had been a top-flight field hockey player at Villa Maria Academy, tore up her knee while playing field hockey at the Junior Olympics. She had dreams of playing for the United States Olympic Team but they evaporated when the ACL (anterior crucial ligament) injury ended her athletic career.<\/p>\n

The \u201csilver lining\u201d in the \u201cdark cloud\u201d that accompanied her injury was her decision to start playing guitar. From humble beginnings as a singer-songwriter and self-taught guitarist, Wilson has emerged as a national-caliber recording artist.<\/p>\n

Her professional music career started in Nashville, the place she moved after graduating from Loyola College in Baltimore. Nashville was also where Powell was plying his trade.<\/p>\n

Powell\u2019s first songwriting credit was a jingle for an\u00a0Allstate\u00a0commercial. After moving to\u00a0Nashville in the early 1990s, Powell wrote several songs for\u00a0Diamond Rio, whose lead singer Marty Roe was a roommate of his while they were in college at\u00a0Lipscomb University.<\/p>\n

Other artists who recorded Powell\u2019s songs include\u00a0Tracy Byrd,\u00a0Chris Cagle,\u00a0Billy Ray Cyrus,\u00a0Tim McGraw,\u00a0Collin Raye, and\u00a0Restless Heart. One of his first collaborations with Urban was his debut single, \u201cIt\u2019s a Love Thing,\u201d which reached Top 20 in 1999.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnna and I first got together in Nashville in 1993,\u201d said Powell. \u201cAnna was a publicist for Diamond Rio. We met backstage at a Diamond Rio concert. It\u2019s been a long and successful run since then.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great that someone 21 and fresh could relate to someone like me. It was very egalitarian. We started writing songs together and it became 24\/7.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson said, \u201cI met Monty in 1993 and it was a pretty quick attraction. We dated for seven years before we got married.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson\u2019s debut album,\u00a0\u201cThe Long Way,\u201d was released by Curb Records on August 5, 2003. It included her song \u201cThe Bus Ride\u201d (co-written with\u00a0Gary Burr\u00a0and\u00a0Matt Rollings), which was recorded by\u00a0Suzy Bogguss.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnna was signed to Island Def Jam by legendary A&R man Tom Zutauk,\u201d said Powell. \u201cThen, there was a label shake-up and Tom was no longer with Island Def Jam.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson said, \u201cMy album didn\u2019t come out on Island Def Jam but Tom made sure I got my master tapes back. Monty and I finished the album. I released it on my own label \u2013 Transfer Records. Then a short while later, Curb Records picked it up. Monty and I worked together on the album. He\u2019s produced all my records.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson\u2019s sophomore album was \u201cTime Changes Everything\u201d in 2007. She followed with her \u201cCountrypolitan Duets\u201d LP in 2011 \u2013 an album that featured pairings with country artists for whom she and her husband have written including Lady Antebellum, Keith Urban, Connie Smith,\u00a0Ray Price,\u00a0Billy Dean, and\u00a0Kenny Rogers. Her most recent solo album is \u201cJazzbird\/Songbird,\u201d which came out in 2014.<\/p>\n

Powell said, \u201cI\u2019m almost always in the background. I really like songwriting, being in the production chair and being in the guitarist chair. I did release a solo album in 2012 called \u201847 Minutes of Your Time.\u2019 I wrote and played everything on it. And, I produced it, mixed it and mastered it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson\u2019s first move many years ago was south \u2013 from Chester County to Baltimore. Her second move was also south \u2013 from Baltimore to Nashville. Her third move was west (and five degrees north) \u2013 from Nashville to Utah.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe left Nashville in 2015,\u201d said Wilson. \u201cIt had changed so much. It wasn\u2019t the town we grew up in \u2013 the town with 9-to-5 songwriters. Monty came in at the beginning of the 9-to-5. I got into it two-thirds of the way through the scene. I got a taste of it. Around 2008, we saw that the writing was on the wall. We saw that it wouldn\u2019t continue for another decade.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Wilson and Powell spent 22 years in Music City together, but it wasn\u2019t until after breaking away and retreating to their second home in the Utah mountains that they found a new muse. In 2016, Wilson and Powell formed Troubadour 77.<\/p>\n

Troubadour 77\u2019s name is inspired by two things — the long line of poets and singer\/songwriters who came before them, and the year 1977, which was iconic in music. It is also a nod to Doug Weston\u2019s Troubadour club in Los Angeles where so many of their heroes got their start.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll we\u2019re trying to do with our music is to bring back the music from the 70s Laurel Canyon scene — country rock and folk rock. Our new duo is not country. We\u2019re Americana.\u201d<\/p>\n

Legend has it that the Laurel Canyon music scene began when Frank Zappa moved to a house on Laurel Canyon Boulevard in the late 1960s.<\/p>\n

Over the next decade-and-a-half, Laurel Canyon was home to many of Southern California\u2019s most talented and creative musicians including Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman (Byrds), Jim Morrison (Doors), Michelle and John Phillips (the Mamas and the Papas), Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, J. D. Souther, Richie Furay (Buffalo Springfield and Poco), Carole King, and the Eagles.<\/p>\n

After releasing a four-track EP in the spring of 2017, Troubadour 77 released its debut full-length album, \u201cSelma Avenue,\u201d\u00a0in November 2017. Two-and-a-half years later, Powell and Wilson released their sophomore album — \u201cRevolution & Redemption.\u201d<\/p>\n

They have dropped two singles from the album so far.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first single was \u2018American Revival\u2019 in January,\u201d said Wilson. \u201cIt got great reviews.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Powell, who penned the song on a plane flight from Nashville to Los Angeles, \u201c\u2018American Revival\u2019 is a call to action for hope and redemption in the ever-changing times we find ourselves in.”<\/p>\n

Wilson added, \u201cWe were not seated together on that flight and so when we landed, he told me how this whole song just sort of appeared. He sang it in my ear standing at baggage claim and the minute I heard it I knew it was special.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new Troubadour 77 single which just came out is called \u2018Down in the Hole.\u2019<\/p>\n

“People can relate to it because with the quarantine, people feel like they\u2019re down in a hole,” said Wilson.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, T77\u2019s tasty new album arrived in the \u201cnear vacuum\u201d created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The duo had great new tunes to play for its fans and no way to do it live.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a big kick in the gut to us,\u201d said Powell. \u201cWe had spent so much time as a recording act. With the album set to come out, we booked shows at wonderful venues. It was a real blow. We really wanted to play.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we started doing virtual shows with a lot of original songs \u2013 two songs every Thursday night. We\u2019ve probably done nine shows so far.\u201d<\/p>\n
