New York native and Country Music artist, Ken Wilber, has announced the release of "Freedom Song" to radio via CDX distribution services whose service reaches not only all key radio programming decision makers, but also the major streaming platforms, labels, publishing companies, and more in the Country Music business community. “Freedom Song” was penned by Sonny LeMaire, Clay Mills, Jimmy Ritchey and recorded by Ryan Younts at Oceanway Nashville, engineered and mixed by Tony Cottrill at The DAWg Houze in Hendersonville, TN and mastered by Benny Quinn.
“Freedom Song” is available on digital music platforms Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon Music and more for streaming and download here.
Ken Wilber recollects that "Freedom Song was originally recorded by Blackberry Smoke, I really liked the Southern Rock flavor to it, as I grew up listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers. I was also heavily influenced by The Charlie Daniels Band, so this was a nice way to showcase that influence. This particular song has a great groove to it, it's one of those songs that makes you want to roll the windows down in your car and hit the gas."
“Ken is a pleasure to work with, and I’m always excited when he travels here to Nashville. It’s an honor to have the opportunity to record and mix his projects. He’s an amazing talent, incredible versatility in his singing, songwriting and his honest enthusiasm is infectious. Ken just keeps getting better and better as an artist and entertainer which will become obvious to the listener in these new releases,” exclaimed Tony Cottrill, Lonely Dog Productions and The DAWg Houze.
All of Ken’s music is available for streaming on Spotify, Apple Music and download on Google Play, Amazon Music and iTunes.

About Ken Wilber:
Ken Wilber was born in Oneonta, NY on October 29th, 1980. His earliest musical influences were Conway Twitty, Merle Haggard, George Jones and Johnny Cash.

In high school Ken discovered his second love, theater. He made his theatrical debut at the age of 14 in a high school production of “Fame.” The band Fly By Nite was formed with Ken as lead singer where they played locally every weekend at a local watering hole called “Babcocks.” Fly by Nite played together for a little over ten years, before dissolving in 2012.
