Free The Music

"Free The Music is an album where I wanted to do just that," says Niemann. "It's a project honoring many different layers and colors that have appeared in the country genre since recorded music began.“

It took Niemann a full two years to record Free The Music, but he wanted to record it from a non-traditional standpoint, regardless of time. He used brasswind horns throughout, and had his live band lay down the tracks instead of hiring studio musicians. Once again joining forces with Dave Brainard (Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury) who co-produced the new album with him in Nashville, Niemann's unique musical flare is evident on the entire record.

Niemann co-wrote the new album's first single, "Shinin' On Me," with friends Lee Brice, Rob Hatch and Lance Miller, and he also collaborated with guest vocalist Colbie Caillat on the soulful ballad, "All About You."
