Verzosa Collecting Positive Reviews in Country Music Magazines

HOUSTON, TX (JULY 2010) – Tiyaga Music/Indie Extreme recording artist, Nick Verzosa released his first single “Back When Love Was Easy” from his new “Smoking Gun EP” to  Country radio stations across Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas on June 1, 2010 and the song immediately grabbed radio’s attention. Under the guidance of Texas radio promotions veteran, Gerrie McDowell of Gerrico Promotions, the song has flown up the Texas Regional Radio Report and Texas Music Chart. Over the past 6 weeks the song has jumped 10 to 20 spots each week, landing this week at #60 on the TMC and #70 on the TRRR.
The reviews coming in from Country music magazines and website E-zines have consistently raved about “The Smoking Gun EP”.

“Out now on Indie Extreme, “The Smoking Gun EP” boasts the talents of Walt Wilkins as executive producer. Wilkins has done a solid job, but then having a talented protégé must have helped. Verzosa is a workable package of guitarist, singer and promising writer. The tune doing the radio rounds, “Back When Love Was Easy”, proves the point. It is a melodic ache. Wrapped in a voice blended with all the likeable qualities of a country tune – easy, relaxed and listenable – and with the understated presence of the band – Verzosa nails shared love that has travelled the distance.”
~George Peden, CountryStarsOnline.com

“Success in the music industry is dependent on talent, hard work and a good amount of luck. But the process is whole lot easier if an artist has the frequently mentioned “it” factor. From the first track to the last, Nick Verzosa proves that he’s the real deal. And the five stellar tracks on “The Smoking Gun EP” will leave Texas country music aficionados aching for a complete 11 or 12 song album. Nick Verzosa is a Red Dirt artist that should be carefully watched, and listeners of the “The Smoking Gun EP” will be expecting great things. With a project as good as “The Smoking Gun EP,” a full album could not come soon enough.”
~CountryChart.com

Verzosa recorded “The Smoking Gun EP” with Texas music legend, Walt Wilkins in early 2010. The single from the EP “Back When Love Was Easy”, garnered top 10 status at the annual NSAI’s 2010 Spring Showdown during Tin Pan South 2010.  Nick is currently touring throughout Texas in support of his new recording, visiting radio stations, and writing more songs to finish up the full length album in late Fall 2010.

Indie Extreme artists collaborate for Quimi’s “Where Is Your Soul” EP release

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 2010) – Black Shoe Records/Indie Extreme award-winning singer-songwriter, Matt Brouwer is producing the latest effort from California native Quimi Alaniz. Quimi embarked on her first full tour opening for Matt and his band last Spring. Touring together created an opportunity for both to develop a creative connection inspiring the direction of her new music and career. Quimi moved to Houston, TX in the Summer/Fall and began writing with Matt and collecting songs for this project. The pair decided on six songs that challenged Quimi with a new sound. With Brouwer’s input she has created a sound all her own that shows her heart and soul and goes deeper than ever before. Quimi said, “I want this album to speak truth and Matt helped me find the words to convey something real and authentic.”

Quimi, M&M Ministries/Indie Extreme, is a young artist with goals of spreading God’s message internationally through her music. A nationally ranked tennis player at 16 years old, she always dreamed of becoming a singer, but it wasn’t untill these past few years that she left tennis and began to pursue her dream. Quimi’s debut, self-titled, album delivered a #1 single, “All For Love” in 2009 on the CRW Global AC, INSPO and Canada Charts. The album was filled with heartfelt songs in both English and Spanish. Quimi continues her signature multi-cultural, bilingual authenticity in the new project.

Matt Brouwer is an award winning Canadian singer/songwriter. His album “Where’s Our Revolution” produced by Grammy winning producer, Michael Omartian and distributed by Indie Extreme/Universal Music Christian Group/Fontana, has earned him a 2009 Covenant Award for “Best Folk/Roots Song of the Year” for “The Other Side” and “Fan Choice Artist of the Year”. The album is currently nominated for both a JUNO award (Canadian equivalent of a GRAMMY) and an East Coast Music Award. Brouwer’s single “Sometimes” has recently charted in 2010 as high as #19 on the Billboard CCM AC Chart. Matt is thrilled to have the opportunity produce and work with Quimi on her new project.

Verzosa teaming with Walt Wilkins for sophomore release.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Feb 2010) – Indie Extreme recording artist, Nick Verzosa will be in the studio starting late February to begin work on his sophomore release. A few years ago, Verzosa gave up the life he knew in pursuit of a musical career.  He sang with the accompaniment of his first band, Johns Guns, who released their debut album, titled “Buy Sell Trade,” in 2007, an album predominantly penned by himself.  Verzosa has since held a solo career and has been described as both classic and innovative.  His song, “Come to Drink of It”, placed first out of hundreds of nominees, for the 2008 Indie International’s Songwriting Competition, in the country music category. Verzosa has continued to write and perform 100-150 dates per year, and is getting ready to head back into the studio to produce 6 song EP.

Verzosa will be teaming up with legendary producer and songwriter Walt Wilkins. Wilkins’ songwriting efforts have been linked to Pat Green, Ricky Skaggs, and Guy Clark, to name a few.  Wilkins  has also released a personal project, “Diamonds in the Sun”, which has shown up on the Americana Music Association’s Top 100 albums two years in a row.  The combined efforts of Verzosa and Wilkins will be noteworthy, and something to look forward to hearing.

Indie Extreme, which is based in Nashville, Tenn., represents musical acts ranging from folk legend Judy Collins to hit CCM artist Matt Brouwer.  The firm partners with Universal Music Christian Group/Fontana for distribution and retail marketing, along with providing various label services to independent labels.
