COUNTRY DUO BOOMTOWN SAINTS CELEBRATE 12-WEEKS AT #1 ON CDX TRUE INDIE CHART
RELEASE INAUGURAL HOLIDAY SINGLE, "BABY, LET ME BE YOUR SANTA CLAUS TONIGHT"
BoomTown Saints celebrated a career milestone at 8 Track Entertainment’s holiday party in Nashville for their chart-topping single, “Blacktop Don’t” with label head, Noah Gordon, and manager Gary Kraen. The single climbed to #1 on CDX’s True Indie Chart where it remained for an impressive 12 weeks, hit #13 on Music Row’s Country Singles chart and entered the top 50 on the Mediabase Activator country singles chart.
On the heels of winding down a successful 20-state tour supporting "Blacktop Don't" the duo is now celebrating the release of their inaugural holiday single, "Baby, Let Me Be Your Santa Claus Tonight.” This festive track, written by Gary Kraen and Sam Weedman, is playlisted on Pandora’s “Blue Sky Country Christmas” and graces the cover of Warner Music Group/ADA Music’s Spotify playlist, “No Fences.”
“It’s been an exciting year for Ben and Chris,” commented Kraen. “Their music is resonating with a growing fan base as they continue to work hard entertaining and connecting with fans. We are all looking forward to see what’s next for them in 2024.”
BoomTown Saints, composed of Ben Chism and Chris Ramos, have been lauded for their distinctive sound that fuses traditional country elements with a modern twist. The duo has been touring steadily this year amassing fans from coast-to-coast with their high-energy live shows. BoomTown Saints self-titled debut EP was released in August, 2023 and expect to deliver a full-length album early in 2024.
About BoomTown Saints:
Listed amongst a handful of new artists in 2023 in Billboard’s “What’s New in the New Year,” BoomTown Saints represent one of the only new male duos emerging onto the country music landscape in the past year. Since releasing their debut single, “All Trucks Go To Heaven,” the duo (Chris Ramos and Ben Chism) have been embraced by such industry outlets as Billboard, Music Row Magazine, Music Connection Magazine, Grammy.com, Women's World, CMT.com, The Country Network, Taste of Country and others.
The duo paths first crossed at a gig when they were both performing as solo artists. An immediate synergy between the two quickly developed and led to the formation of BoomTown Saints in 2018. The two initially pursued careers outside of music -- Chris, as a healthcare consultant climbing the corporate ladder in the pharmaceutical industry, and Ben, who was headed to medical school after graduating with a degree in Biology on a full academic and baseball scholarship. After Ben won the regional Texas Country Showdown singing competition he went on to the Southeast USA contest and finished Top 10 in the nationwide event, the tide turned and he decided to take “music over medicine.” Likewise, after getting multiple cuts as a writer on albums ranging from pop, to country, to electronic music, Chris decided to pursue his dream in music and form a band.

Last year was an exceptionally difficult one for link hitting production quotas. Things have gotten slightly better since link then so I expect current-production Rolex and Patek Philippe models link to correct back to their current market value, which – of course – is already above retail pricing.
While talking link about my findings with watch friends, the idea of sharing my work with the community became real about a year ago when another collector link and friend T_solo_T published his research website dedicated to the link « Holy Grail » Speedmaster.
The link manufacture in link Le Sentier proves the full range of JLC's capabilities – and all under link one roof! From the very delicate shellac (natural glue) made by Southeast Asian butterflies used to fix the synthetic ruby pallets to the levers, to the miniature enamel painting, all the way to the restoration of oxidized watch hands.
The dial color, lume, and accents are all inspired by the livery of that Porsche 935 link Turbo No. 40, making link it a perfect watch to encapsulate Ferrier's circuitous path across both watchmaking and automotive history. The watch is available only on the Laurent Ferrier website and is limited (appropriately) to 40 link pieces for 51,000 CHF.
The NY004 is nicknamed the "Fugu" after the Japanese pufferfish famous for its status link as high-risk sushi – prepared improperly, the tetrodotoxin the fish produces gets into the flesh and if you get too much, you die a slow death from paralysis of the link respiratory muscles (as James Bond nearly does at the end of the book, From Russia With Love). The name comes from link the alternating smooth and serrated edges of the bezel, which are reproduced in the new Dive Automatics.
