Title - [OCT 24] Where I Am Now
Artist - Kent Blazy

Hitmaker and Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame member, Kent Blazy has just released his brand new album, Where I Am Now. Sparked by the reflective single “I Miss the America I Grew Up In,” Where I Am Now traces Kent Blazy’s journey back to his roots and the power of music to shape a life.

Culled from a dozen-plus new writes, the 11-track set—with trusted collaborators—captures the where, when, how, and why of his story in song. The new music is will be available everywhere on music streaming and download platforms on Oct 24th, 2025.

Recorded at Allentown Recording Studio in Nashville, the eleven-song project honors his remarkable journey. It showcases compositions penned by Kent Blazy, except for the first track, which was co-written with Cory Batten.

“Where I Am Now may be my favorite project I’ve ever done,” kent explains. “It reflects on how far I’ve come; looking back on where I started, where my songs began, and feeling deep gratitude for the journey that has brought me here. From growing up as a child in Woodstock, N.Y., to being inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and all the twists and turns along the way, this project captures the heart of that story.”

11. Where I Am Now

The American country songwriter Kent Blazy, born in Lexington, Kentucky, now calling Nashville home, brings us his expertly sculpted new recording, opening on the quietly countrified Once Upon A Rhyme and the rhythmically upbeat On Any Given Day, and then we get the infectiously flavored Thanking You Now, the Springsteen-esque brilliance of American Dreamers and then we are gifted the light and, well, breezy A Breeze.

Along next is the beautiful Americana-vibed Gone Side of Goodbye and the free flowing, mid-tempo rock of The America I Grew Up In, and they are in turn backed by the gently rambunctious Music Meant Something, the deeply grooved My Wrecking Ball, the set rounding out on the rebellious guitar work showcased within the melodious rocker Sometimes, coming to a close on the troubadour storytelling within Where I Am Now.

The album showcases the talents of an exceptional team of musicians and engineers who helped bring Kent Blazy’s vision to life. Studio musicians include Billy McClaran on saxophone for “On a Breeze,” Steve Allen (guitars), Kevin Murphy (drums), Lee Francis (bass), and Blazy himself on guitars and vocals.

Engineering was handled by Chris Utley and James Viega, with mastering by Utley, ensuring the project’s warm, dynamic sound that perfectly complements the heartfelt storytelling throughout.
