Hello friends!
Thank you all so much for your support and for joining the mailing list. If you are not signed up for the mailing list, please do so. I will be offering exclusive deals to my mailing list subscribers for the upcoming release.
 

I was supposed to go back into the studio on March 27th and 28th for the 3rd Session. However, unforeseen circumstances caused us to have to reschedule to April 10th. I am excited to get back in and finish up this CD for you all! This third session will bring in Kenny and Amanda to do backup vocals for me, and I will do some mandolin work and a bit of vocal touch up. 

This would lead us to one more session to finish recording tracks, then the mix and master will come and the project will be ready for release! So with all that said, we are still on schedule for June 5th, 2023 release! It will be available on my website earlier if possible and to my subscribers even sooner.  
it's a very exciting time for Carl Towns & Upward Road.

Thanks again! God Bless!

Hello friends and neighbors!
    Session 2 for the “I'm Home” project is complete! We had some good times, and played some great music. I am really looking forward to the final outcome, especially after I heard the mixdown of the first single, the title cut “I'm Home”! 

It is really exciting to hear songs that you have written come together and sound the way you thought they would. Thank you all for your support and don't forget you can pre-order the CD+Download in our music store.

God Bless,

I am excited to announce that the new year is here, and along with the new year comes the new outlook.

I will be going into the studio on January 10th to begin recording songs for the new project: Unconditional Reality.
This CD will include 14 songs, mostly original, of gospel and positive grass. I am really looking forward to recording with Dale Perry in his studio, Red Roof Recording. 

For the coming year, we are booking heavily and look forward to seeing all of you out in the Grass!

It's been a hard year for a lot of people.

I've had so many musical set-backs that I can't count them. But I know the Lord is with me, and it will all work out.

As the new year closes, I am adamant to continue the positive Bluegrass mission. With that said, I will be making a change to the structure of Upward Road and will be looking for musicians and singers to join me on the road at various venues. If you are a musician and would like an opportunity to pick some fun music, let me know.

Meanwhile, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a wonderful year to come. God Bless!

Hey yall!

Hope all is well. We've made a couple of changes to our tour schedule for the remainder of the year and are getting more bookings for next year.

The Oct 22 events are cancelled, due to circumstances out of our control. We have added one to our schedule for next year. Look forward to going to the Mountain Opry on January 28th next year. Keep up to date! Bookmark the site and come back to keep up with what is happening.

Thanks! Carl

Hello everyone! Hope you are having a great September so far! It's just hard to believe that we are this far into 2022 and only 3 months away from a new year. 

I wanted to touch base with my friends and fans as developments are happening here in Townshouse Studio where I do some of my projects. The Christmas bug has hit me again!! Yep! I know! Every year about this time I get the hankering to do a Christmas CD of sorts. It's something I've always wanted to do, make a complete project of Christmas songs. Some of my favorites. I mention this in a video update I shared on the Facebook page!

Well...lo and behold! "The Christmas Project" as I am calling it at the moment, is set to release on Black Friday! It will include the re-issue of 4 of the songs I have released over the years: Homemade Christmas, Holly Jolly Christmas, Away in a Manger, and Silent Night. These will be compiled onto the project along with 7 other newly recorded songs. "One Birth" is included on this CD as well, tho I had released it before, I am re-recording it completely, while the others are simply added into the compilation. 
Along with these 5, will be some classic favorites, a few with a twist. And a little partridge bird told that there may be a hidden track on this CD as an added bonus! :D

As for other recording news: Your Grace Is Sufficient is set to release at the first of next year. Yes a delay, but I think the timing is right. That single will drop in January, while the rest of the project will drop within the first few months. That is the plan. Lord willing, it will all come together.
God bless you all! Hope to see you on the Road soon!
