New Jazz Albums From PRS Artists Adam Hawley and Denny Jiosa
Posted Sep 22, 2021
Fresh tunes from the world of jazz and fusion, PRS proudly presents new music from two masters of their craft.
Chart-topping jazz and R&B guitarist Adam Hawley has released a brand-new studio album. Risin’ Up is Adam’s fourth record as a solo artist and the second under his own MBF Entertainment label. Hot on the heels of his previous release Escape, which scored three number one singles last year, Risin’ Up is also purposely upbeat in the face of current events.
“Risin’ Up” represents us as a country ascending over the past year and a half with a sense of renewed purpose and vigor. It’s about overcoming and feeling inspired and hopeful. The title track, featuring a great horn arrangement from David Mann, encapsulates the positivity of this album.” - Adam Hawley
Risin’ Up features appearances from Steve Cole, Vincent Ingala, Julian Vaughn, Riley Richard, and Adam’s wife Kat Hawley, who contributes to all of his projects. Kat’s vocals command the spotlight on “Tell Me You Love Me,” a reimagined Demi Lovato tune that closes the collection.
