Brett Tyler has extended his contract with longtime publisher Combustion Music Group.

Tyler has penned tracks for Morgan Wallen, Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Jimmie Allen, Maren Morris and more. Two of his tunes currently hold the No. 31 and No. 54 spots on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart with Corey Kent’s “Wild As Her” and Kolby Cooper’s “Excuses,” and his song “Atta Girl” was released last month by Lainey Wilson. Songs from Tyler’s Apple Music Songbook playlist have amassed 600 million-plus streams.

Tyler earned his first No. 1 when he co-penned “Cold Beer Calling My Name,” by Jameson Rodgers (feat. Luke Combs) in 2020. Recent cuts include the title track from Hardy’s upcoming album, The Mockingbird & The Crow, “Ain’t Missing You” by Dylan Schneider, “Dancin’ in the Moonlight” by Chris Lane, “Why’d We Break Up Again” by Dylan Marlowe, and “Prettiest Girl I Don’t Know” by Troy Cartwright.

“We couldn’t be happier to continue our long relationship with Brett,” shares Combustion President Chris Farren. “He is a consistent hitmaker who always seems to be at the top of his game. In an environment of constant change, our long and fruitful relationship with Brett is not only a testament to his talent but to the whole Combustion team as well.”

“I’m looking forward to continuing my songwriting career with Combustion Music,” Tyler says. “They understand what I do, believe in me, and have encouraged me to pursue my approach and process of writing songs. I’m very excited about the team we have right now, and I love that they are as passionate and hard working as I am. I have a clear idea of what I want for my future, and Combustion sees that vision and is committed to creating more opportunities to get there.”

Country artist Jordan James has announced his holiday EP Christmas On My Mind will be available on Nov. 18 via Penumbra Records, an imprint of Eclipse Music Group.

The Atlanta native began singing and writing songs as a young boy. At the age of 12, James was selected to sing with Kenny Rogers as part of his annual Christmas concert, which awakened his passion for performing. His latest project features five seasonal classics.

“I wanted to make a timeless holiday record like the ones I grew up on. My producer Jeff Garrison‘s jazz arrangements really brought that vision to life. I’m proud of these songs and hope they are a part of the Christmas soundtrack for years to come,” he says.

James has teamed up with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville’s Music Row Build for the release. He will be fundraising during his 12 Days of Christmas campaign starting Dec. 12, highlighting a different way to support the cause each day.

“For me, the best part of Christmas is being home in Georgia with my family. There are many that do not have a place to call home,” James shares. “I’m proud to be a part of the Music Row community’s work with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville. They help make the cost of a home something that regular hard-working people living right here in Nashville, Tennessee can afford.”

The Christmas On My Mind live show benefitting Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville’s Music Row Build will take place at Star Rover Sound on Dec. 6.

Christmas On My Mind Track List:
1. I’ll Be Home for Christmas
2. Holy Night
3. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
4. Silent Night
5. Last Christmas
