Acme Feed & Seed Launches New Record Label, Acmeville Records
First Release to be Live Album by Local Artist Paul Childers
Nashville, Tenn.(Dec 6) – Acme Feed & Seed is excited to announce the launch of its new in-house record label, Acmeville Records, with its first album release scheduled for mid-January. The label will be focused on digital releases exclusively distributed by TuneCore. Acmeville plans to record and produce albums captured during live performances from the stage at Acme Feed & Seed, as well as compilation records, original content and commentary from inside the Acme Radio Live studio. The label is focused on promoting Nashville artists who have helped to define Acme and Acme Radio Live’s unique sound and atmosphere. Acmeville’s first release will be a live album from local rock/pop artist Paul Childers, titled Paul Childers Live at Acme.
“Recording and releasing a live album is a unique opportunity for artists to connect with fans and involve them in the record-making process,” said Carl Gatti, Director of Entertainment and Radio at Acme Feed & Seed. “We’re excited to get Acmeville Records up and running to continue our mission of discovery and preservation of the local music scene, and Paul Childers is a perfect fit for our first release.
When not on tour, Childers is a resident on ACME’s stage, performing regularly for devoted fans. The live album not only captures the energy of Paul's dynamic performance, but also the crowd's enthusiastic response. Though only 23 years old, Childers’ songwriting and command of the guitar has earned him the title guitar-slinging superhero. Childers' music is a unique blend of pop, R&B, and soul that's praised by critics and fans alike.
Paul Childers Live at Acme was recorded during Childers’ performance on September 29, 2017. The set list from the show includes eight original songs and two covers:
1. Music Pulls You Through - Paul Childers 2. No One Goes Dancing Anymore - Paul Childers 3. Naked Poetry - Paul Childers 4. My Love of the Rain - Paul Childers 5. Sir Duke- Stevie Wonder 6. Roxanne/Ain't No Sunshine - The Police/Bill Withers 7. Perfect Man - Paul Childers 8. At Our Own Pace - Paul Childers 9. Disclosure - Paul Childers 10.
