NASHVILLE, Tenn. – August 26, 2010 – Villa One/Quarterback Records artist Frank Ortega prepares to release his new single, “My Old Man,” followed by heavy radio touring and a new video to be filmed in mid-September. The single can be found on MPE or from Quarterback Records and Promotions By Regina. It is currently available for sale on iTunes.
Written and produced by two proven hit songwriters, Phil O’Donnell and Gary Hannan, “My Old Man” pays homage to the complex relationship between a man and his father – and Ortega’s energy and raw emotion provide a perfect vehicle for the compelling lyrics.
“This song is a powerful anthem for millions of people—men in particular– about their daddies,” says Ortega. “My own dad has not been in the best of health over the past few years and recently had to undergo emergency quadruple bypass heart surgery; we thought we were going to lose him. I feel very close to this song: he served his country; I literally ‘held that drop light steady when it got dark or I heard about it all night long’ just like the song says; he also bought me my first guitar. This song found me, I didn’t find it.”
Ortega found success on the Indie Country Charts in 2009 with his hit, “Hot Women, Cold Beer.” His new single will be released on his debut album due out next year.
ABOUT FRANK ORTEGA:
Born and raised in Arizona, Frank Ortega grew up in a household where the sounds of Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash commingled with traditional mariachi music, wild weekend parties and lots of laughter, love and life. His is the American dream at its best. Coming from a humble middle class home, through hard work Frank built his own company that was successful for years. His path has led him to many great places in life, even the opportunity to meet a president in the oval office.
His talent and drive landed Frank in the recording studio, on radio and eventually in the #1 spot on the Indie Country Charts in 2009 with his hit, “Hot Women, Cold Beer,” co-written with James House. He’s since returned to the studio working on a new album to be released in the upcoming months. This Latin tattooed American country singer knows that life is truly all about the travel and not the destination and he will continue, as he always has, to believe that things are always said best through a country song.
