“SINCE I’VE BEEN GONE.,” ARRIVING JAN. 9

Vulnerable, Coming-Of-Age Song “Since I’ve Been Gone.” Follows NORA.’s Breakout Single “Kiss My Ass.” Landing On Holler.’s Best New Country Songs playlist and Entertainment Focus’s Best New Releases

Debut EP JUST WORDS. Coming Jan. 2026

Nashville, Tenn., (Dec. 4, 2025) — After turning heads with her breakout single “Kiss My Ass.” and earning spots on Holler.’s Best New Country Songs playlist and Entertainment Focus’s Best New Releases, NORA. is kicking off 2026 with the release of her new single “Since I’ve Been Gone.” on Jan. 9th.

NORA. shared, "This song is about returning to my hometown and slipping back into an older version of myself — one that I had outgrown. I realized just how much I evolved, and how little had changed around there. It was a strange feeling... and a bit isolating, but also freeing.”

Set to a nostalgic, synth-driven backdrop that nods to the cinematic pop of the 1980s, the song was inspired by a trip back home after time spent in Nashville and after graduating college. As she revisits the people, places, and past versions of herself that shaped her —from childhood friends to the quiet familiarity of her old bedroom—NORA. reflects on what she’s outgrown and what still remains. With a clearer, more seasoned perspective, she details the emotional shift between who she once was and who she’s becoming.

NORA. previewed the new single via Instagram (HERE)

“Since I’ve Been Gone.” offers a glimpse of her forthcoming debut EP JUST WORDS., a collection of songs born from a period of self-discovery and growth. Originally from Harrisburg, PA, NORA.’s love for music and songwriting eventually led her to Belmont University in Nashville. It was there, nestled deep in the heart of Music City, that her songwriting bloomed. She began playing more guitar. She began creating new music, taking inspiration not only from her daily conversations with her roommates – brother Nicholas and cousin Ben – but from eclectic artists and influences including Olivia Dean, Kasey Musgraves, and Gracie Abrams, too.

After graduating college, she left the security of a 9-to-5 job to fully embrace the uncertainty of pursuing her own creative path. Through writing, reflecting, and exploring her true self, she has crafted music that is raw, relatable, and unmistakably her own. With a voice that commands attention and songs that resonate deeply, NORA. has been featured by Hitting The Road podcast, Authority Magazine, and she recently took the stage at Nashville’s iconic Whiskey Jam.

“I wrote this song after breaking up with a guy who spent a lot of time telling me how ‘special’ and ‘great’ I was. In hindsight, I think what he really loved about me was how easy it was to get away with doing whatever he wanted while I quietly became a nice little accessory in his life. For a while, I let myself shrink to fit into his world…until I realized losing him wasn’t the heartbreak; losing myself was. And I wasn’t doing that again,” said NORA.

As a fearless new voice that isn’t afraid to say what everyone else is thinking, she demonstrates the empowerment found in honesty.”

KIT Plugins Debuts NP A67 Plug-In, Bringing the Iconic “Clovis Sound” to the Modern Studio

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KIT Plugins Debuts NP A67 Plug-In, Bringing the Iconic
“Clovis Sound” to the Modern Studio

New Plug-In Emulates Custom Altec 1567A Tube Mixer
from Historic Norman Petty Studios

NP A67 Is The First in a Series of Plug-In Releases from
KIT Plugins and Norman Petty Studios

“Pure vintage ‘50s and '60s tones on tap” - Recording Magazine

“...absolutely nails its vintage intentions, while adding just enough additional features to make it a great flavorful addition to any modern mix.” - Recording Magazine

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August 15, 2025) – Award-winning audio software developer KIT Plugins today announced the release of NP A67, a meticulously modeled plug-in that emulates a custom-modified Altec 1567A tube mixer/preamp used at the legendary Norman Petty Studios in Clovis, New Mexico—the birthplace of the unmistakable “Clovis Sound” made famous by early recordings of Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, and many more.

The NP A67 is the first product to emerge from a new, long-term exclusive collaboration between KIT Plugins and Norman Petty Studios, widely regarded as one of the most authentically preserved vintage recording studios in the world. This marks the beginning of a full line of Norman Petty Studio-inspired plug-ins and virtual instruments from KIT Plugins, aimed at  celebrating the sonic heritage of this iconic studio, which has largely remained untouched since 1969. 

A rack-mounted tube mixer, originally designed as a radio station preamp, the Altec 1567A Tube Mixer Preamp — known for natural tube saturation, harmonic richness, mild distortion and low‑end warmth — was repurposed by Norman Petty in his late 1950s console. Petty used three such units—heavily modified, with discrete solid-state circuitry—for L/C/R stereo signal paths.

Bringing the warmth and color of ‘50s and ‘60s analog gear into modern DAWs, KIT’s NP A67 delivers rich tube warmth, musical saturation, natural compression, and subtle harmonic color—reborn as a modern preamp and EQ plug-in for macOS and Windows (AAX, AU, VST3, iLok-protected).

The NP A67 is available now for $49. To learn more and purchase, visit https://kitplugins.com/products/np-a67. 

The NP A67 blends authentic tube-driven tone with enhanced mid‑band control, all in a single-plugin workflow. Whether you're tracking vocals, drums, guitars, or mastering, NP A67 brings vintage character with modern flexibility—letting you sculpt rich, era-defining warmth across generations of recorded sound. 

Key Features 

• Tube Saturation & Drive: Input controls emulate tube distortion when pushed toward 0 dB, mirroring the natural compression of the original mixers.
  

• Analog Texture: Optional hum recreates generator noise from vintage components.
  

• EQ Additions: While the bass and treble mimic vintage tone stacks, the mid peaking band is a modern tweak—introduced to augment tonal shaping without deviating from the original’s character.
  

• Flexible Filters: HP (High-Pass) and LP (Low-Pass) Filters provide studio‑grade control to focus or tame frequency content based on use case.

Coming This Fall:
KIT Plugins and Norman Petty Studios will take over the September issue of Recording Magazine with exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes studio content, an in-depth feature, and the first NP A67 plug-in review, exploring the rich legacy behind the Clovis Sound.

“Big Dreams From A Small Town” follows Vaughn’s previously released single “Over” co-written with Jason Nix (Lainey Wilson & Luke Grimes, Keb’ Mo’), “Doin’ My Thing”, co-written with Brandon Hartt, and fan favorite Cowboy In The Boots ft. DJ Kane - the former lead singer of Grammy-winning band Kumbia Kings (A.B. Quintanilla’s band - the brother of the late "Queen of Tejano” Selena).

On August 26th, Vaughn will release a new music video for the single (additional details tba).

Hailed as an “artist to watch” (World Of Country) and a “breath of fresh air” (We Write About Music) Vaughn’s infectious blend of Country, R&B and Latin Pop has captivated audiences with a unique mix of urban sounds and rural authenticity, making him a unique addition to the Country music landscape. His music, accentuated by a deep baritone voice and a laid back conversational tone exudes a steady genuine charm echoing that of artists like George Strait. Writing deeply personal music, Vaughn weaves in personal stories of faith, family and love, all parallel themes found in both Country music and Mexican regional and Tejano music.

After serving in the U.S. Army, the Texas native and singer-songwriter immersed himself in the fashion, music, culture, and lifestyle of Nashville and New York living and performing in both cities, where he sharpened his musical toolkit. In 2016, he relocated permanently to Nashville, facing homelessness for 16 weeks while working at restaurants before finding support through the VA and nonprofit organization Matthew 25. Shortly thereafter, he began struggling with alcohol addiction, ultimately putting his musical career on hold and returning to Texas. Recommitting to his faith, family and pursuing sobriety, Romeo eventually returned to Nashville.

Vaughn continues to release new music and is actively involved with Nashville-based nonprofit Matthew 25, a residential facility that provides Housing, Help and Hope to homeless men in need.

KIT PLUGINS PARTNERS WITH NORMAN PETTY STUDIOS TO PRESERVE THE ICONIC SOUNDS OF THE LEGENDARY RECORDING STUDIO

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KIT PLUGINS PARTNERS WITH NORMAN PETTY STUDIOS TO PRESERVE THE ICONIC SOUNDS OF THE LEGENDARY RECORDING STUDIO

Buddy Holly’s Signature Sound Available For A New Generation of Music Makers

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (July 15, 2025) - Nashville-based music software company KIT Plugins is partnering with Norman Petty Studios of Clovis, New Mexico to preserve the iconic sounds of the legendary recording studio, the birthplace of Buddy Holly’s signature sound. Considered to be the most well-preserved vintage recording studio in the world, KIT is the first company to enter into a long-term, exclusive collaboration with Norman Petty Studios.

As the developer of some of the industry’s best sounding plugins, KIT is developing a line of plugins modeled after the historic analog gear used by Pioneering Producer/Musician Norman Petty, which has largely remained untouched since 1969.

By preserving the Norman Petty Studio and adapting its historic sound for modern digital tools, KIT Plugins allows this significant chapter in music history to continue inspiring future generations of artists and engineers.

Nearly all of Buddy Holly’s groundbreaking hits were recorded in the Clovis, New Mexico studio, alongside other iconic artists such as Roy Orbison, Buddy Knox and Waylon Jennings. Even decades after Petty’s passing, the studio continued to attract talent, with LeAnn Rimes recording her hit “Blue” in Norman's second studio in the early 1990s.

"We are beyond excited about this partnership as we get to honor the studio’s remarkable legacy while bringing its unique sonic character to a new generation of music creators,” said Matt Kleinman, Founder, KIT Plugins.

“Norman Petty Studios is thrilled to be involved with KIT Plugins on this amazing collaboration. Bringing Norman Petty’s story and recording techniques to a new generation of music makers has been a longtime goal of the studio and we couldn’t think of a better partner than KIT Plugins,” said Ron Skinner,  Consulting Engineer / Digital Archives Manager, Norman Petty Studios.

The Norman Petty Recording Studio stands as a living relic of the 1950s and 60s rock ‘n’ roll. Stepping inside is like walking into a time capsule, visitors are greeted with a museum-like experience, passing through the 1950s apartment Norman built for artists like Holly and the Crickets to stay in while recording there.  The journey continues down narrow hallways leading to the heart of the studio, where original instruments such as the celeste from Buddy Holly’s “Everyday” and the Solovox organ used on the Fireballs’ 1963 number one hit “Sugar Shack” remain in their exact places, as if waiting for the next session.

The control room still hums with the creative energy of Petty’s genius. In the studio, Petty's custom-built console, a fusion of three heavily modified Altec 1567a mixers and units from Pultec, Ampex, and Fairchild, allowed him to push the boundaries of sound even further.

The original Altec speakers, still suspended from the ceiling, continue to offer a glimpse into the magic of those iconic recordings. One of Norman’s earliest innovations was the custom reverb chamber he built in the mid-1950s, hidden in the rafters of his father’s auto shop next door. The chamber, which was later tiled by Buddy Holly’s family, was a key element in creating the signature reverb-laden sound that defined so much of Holly's music.

Actively in development, KIT plans to release their first emulation from this iconic studio in 2025. For more information, visit www.kitplugins.com/pages/norman-petty

ROMEO VAUGHN ANNOUNCES NEW SINGLE “BIG DREAMS FROM A SMALL TOWN” DUE OUT ON AUGUST 15TH

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ROMEO VAUGHN ANNOUNCES NEW SINGLE “BIG DREAMS FROM A SMALL TOWN”
DUE OUT ON AUGUST 15TH, PRE-SAVE (HERE)

Mexican-American Singer-Songwriter Blends Together a Vibrant Fusion Of
Country, R&B and Latin Pop

Vaughn Has Collaborated with the Kumbia Kings’ DJ Kane,
Jason Nix and Brandon Hartt

“Vaughn truly knows how to create something you’ve never heard before.”
- Music  Update  Central 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 23, 2025) - Mexican-American Singer-Songwriter Romeo Vaughn announces new single “Big Dreams From A Small Town,” due out on August 15th. Co-written by Vaughn and Brandon Hartt, this laid-back, intimate single hints at Vaughn’s origins and his remarkable journey as an artist, father, and veteran overcoming homelessness, choosing sobriety, and discovering his faith. 

Pre-save “Big Dreams From A Small Town” here: https://ffm.to/deoba2p

“‘Big Dreams From A Small Town’ is a song about a small town kid who went to chase his dreams in a city with every odd stacked against him. He’s holding onto hope while chasing something bigger, and continues to believe in himself,” says Vaughn. 

Vaughn teased his new single on Instagram (HERE) 

After serving in the U.S. Army, Vaughn immersed himself in the fashion, music, culture, and lifestyle of Nashville and New York living and performing in both cities, where he sharpened his musical toolkit. Working with Celebrity Fashion Designer Manuel (known for outfitting Johnny Cash and Elvis), Romeo began designing and sewing his own clothes, developing a unique personal style.

In 2016, he relocated permanently to Nashville, facing homelessness for 16 weeks while working at restaurants before finding support through the VA and nonprofit organization Matthew 25. Shortly thereafter, he began struggling with alcohol addiction, ultimately putting his musical career on hold and returning to Texas. Recommitting to his faith, family and pursuing sobriety, Romeo eventually returned to Music City.

Since then, he’s collaborated with Songwriter Jason Nix (Lainey Wilson, Luke Grimes, Keb’ Mo’) on his previously-released single “Over,” about his struggles with alcohol addiction. He went on to release “Cowboy In The Boots” ft. DJ Kane - the former lead singer of Grammy-winning band Kumbia Kings (A.B. Quintanilla’s band - the brother of the late "Queen of Tejano” Selena, and his most recent release “Doin’ My Thing”, was co-written with rising artist Brandon Hartt.

Vaughn’s infectious blend of Country, R&B and Latin Pop has captivated audiences with a unique mix of urban sounds and rural authenticity, making him a “breath of fresh air” (We Write About Music) and a unique addition to the Country music landscape. His music, accentuated by a deep baritone voice and a laid back conversational tone exudes a steady genuine charm echoing that of artists like George Strait. Writing deeply personal music, Vaughn weaves in personal stories of faith, family and love, all parallel themes found in both Country music and Mexican regional and Tejano music. 

Hailing from the Rio Grande Valley in Santa Rosa, Texas, the rising independent singer-songwriter with a contagious Latin flavor and Country soul, creates music that reflects his Texan roots, Nashville influences, and deep Hispanic heritage. With inspirations ranging from George Strait and Keith Whitley to Michael Jackson and Latin artists such as his cousin GRAMMY Award-winning Jesse Turner from Grupo Siggno, Aventura, Intocable, Romeo Santos and Emilio Navaira, his unique sound—what he calls “songs from the south and beats from the city”—aims to uplift, empower, and connect with listeners through a story of resilience, passion, and purpose.

Vaughn continues to release new music and is actively involved with Nashville-based nonprofit Matthew 25, a residential facility that provides Housing, Help and Hope to homeless men in need.

“Big Dreams From A Small Town” is produced by Ryan Rossebo.

Lee DeWyze Shines at Launch Party for Bob Dylan Biopic A Complete Unknown

Folk Singer-Songwriter Lee DeWyze Shines at the Digital Launch Party of A Complete Unknown, the Critically-Acclaimed Bob Dylan Biopic From Searchlight Pictures

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Feb. 21, 2025) - Lee DeWyze, one of Americana and folk music’s most-talked about singer-songwriters, gave a special performance during the launch party for the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, celebrating the films’ upcoming digital release. A longtime Dylan fan, DeWyze performed “Blowin’ In The Wind,” “Make You Feel My Love” and songs from his critically-acclaimed #1 album Gone For Days at the Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood. The special performance followed Lee’s recent national TV performance of his single “Devil In The Details” on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” (Watch HERE). 

Named by Goldmine Magazine as "one of the most influential artists of today’s folk-rock idiom" and featured by Rolling Stone, Billboard, SPIN, American Songwriter, KCRW (NPR Los Angeles), PEOPLE and more, DeWyze is undeniably one of the most captivating artists in the genre right now. His sixth studio album Gone For Days hit #1 on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter chart and features contributions from Barry Bales and Tim Stafford of Union Station, Cellist Dave Eggar, Guitarist Phil Faconti, Mandolin Player Blake Collins, alongside many distinguished musicians. 

DeWyze surrendered to the creative process, leaving his home in Los Angeles to write and record the album in Bristol, VA. Finding inspiration in the solitude of an old house—just across from a funeral home - the serene setting provided the perfect backdrop for Lee to channel his experiences into his most personal work to date.
