SAMMY ARRIAGA RELEASES ACOUSTIC MIXTAPE ‘BANJOS N' BONGOS’ TODAY (5/6) ACROSS DIGITAL RETAILERS
Country newcomer Sammy Arriaga releases his debut EP, Banjos N' Bongos (Acoustic Mixtape), his first effort for LA-based Latium Records, to all digital retailers today (5/6). Yesterday (5/5), Sounds Like Nashville gave fans an exclusive “First Listen” to the full project in celebration of Cinco de Mayo and raved that “Arriaga blends Miami and Nashville into one perfect pairing.”
On the six stripped-down tracks of Banjos N' Bongos (produced by Lalo Guzman) – including an intimate take on current single “Cold In Miami” – Arriaga puts his outstanding vocals on full display, melding the bold rhythmic elements of his Latin heritage with infectious pop country melodies and proving he can deliver lyrics that strike right at the heart.
Banjos N' Bongos (Acoustic Mixtape) Track Listing:
1. “Banjos N' Bongos” (Arriaga/James Slater/Bobby Hamrick)
2. “Cold In Miami" (Arriaga/James Slater/Aaron Scherz)
3. “Cuban” (Arriaga/Paul DiGiovanni)
4. “Just Another” (Arriaga/Jordan Walker/Mitchell Tenpenny)
5. “Margarita Talk” (Arriaga/Lalo Guzman/Van Hunt/Conor Matthews)
6. “Lifeguard Stand” (Arriaga/Brett Beavers/Jim Beavers)
Keeping the summer vibe going, Arriaga will bring his laid-back, tropical feel when he plays the Gildan Broadway Stage outside of the Hard Rock Café at CMA Music Festival in June.
24 year-old Arriaga is already bringing the heat with debut single “Cold In Miami,” and media is raving about the newcomer: the Miami New Times calls him a “surprisingly down to earth Miami kid who hasn’t seemed to realize yet how bright his future is looking,” and CMT selected him for their 2016 “Artist Discovery” campaign. After teaching himself to play guitar at the age of 14, Arriaga made the move to Nashville in 2011, when he plugged the famed Tootsies Orchid Lounge into his GPS and drove 998 miles straight to Music City. Now, he’s captivating audiences nationwide as an opening act for Trace Adkins, LOCASH, Love and Theft, Chase Rice, Cassadee Pope and more.
