New Single “Back of My Truck” Is #13 On the Texas Music Chart

(Nashville, Tenn.)— Forty5South is comprised of five Jackson, Tenn. natives all in their early twenties with a talent for infectious contemporary country.

Forty5 South is more than an arbitrary band name; it’s the road that ties the band together, quite literally. It is highway 45-S that runs through the guys’ collective home of Jackson, Tenn. that keeps them connected. In fact, it all started off 45-S in the little sports bar, Jimmy D’s. It was there at open mic nights that band founder and lead vocalist Ashley Bowers had the idea to start a country band. “No one plays country in Jackson.” With that, he recruited friends and locals to form a band as influenced by country as it is by rock. The recruited band is composed of vocalist Bowers, 22, drummer Tosh Newman, 22; bassist Seth Gordon, 21; guitarist and mandolin player Phillip Lemmings, 24; and guitarist Justin Tapley, 24.

While their new CD Too Much, Too Fast received its unofficial “Out of the Trunk” release October 25, 2003, a recently inked distribution deal has expanded the album’s availability from the back of the guys’ cars with a national release, which was August 24. The guys are on the road promoting their American summer anthem, “Back of My Truck” and their debut release on TILO Entertainment. “Back of My Truck” is quickly climbing the Texas Music Charts and is currently at #13.

Forty5 South’s touring schedule gives you a chance to see their live show at the Lakeside Tavern in Waco, Texas, on September 3.

Showtime is set for 8 pm. Tickets are $5.

Forty5 South is available for interviews on the phone or in person by contacting Allison Crews at 615.327.0100. For more information on Forty5 South visit www.forty5south.com.
