Smarturl: https://ffm.to/nutshell Onalaska, WI, April 26 2024 - Coming off a huge moment with her last single “Covering Faces”, vocal sensation Carlie Hanson pays homage to the late lead vocalist, Layne Staley and Alice in Chains with her mesmerizing rendition of their classic hit “Nutshell”. This release falls on the anniversary of Layne’s passing. This song offers a fresh perspective on the beloved grunge anthem, infusing it with her signature blendof raw emotion and musicalprowess. This year also happens to be the 30 th anniversary of Jar of Flies, which Carlie alluded to on the album cover! “I grew up listening to all kindsof sick ass music. I remember my mom and sister blastingAlice In Chains on long driveswhen I was like 10. Not up until recentlydid I fall down a rabbit-hole of everything they have out there. Their MTV unplugged stunned me. I was so blown away and inspired to cover “Nutshell” in remembrance of Layne and Kurt. I want to thank Layne's sweet momma for allowing this to happen. I'm excited for the world to hear my lil version.” Carlie Hanson's version of "Nutshell" is set to be a standout release offering young listeners a new gateway to a timelessclassic. Carlie teamed up with Cover Nation toexclusively premiere Carlie live performance of the new single. The legendary Layne Staley’s mother, Nancy McCallum met Carlie and had some very kind words to say: “It is wonderful to see Layne'smusic live on with all generations, and the underlying message in his music continue to have such profound effects. As Layne would say, 'I would love to be able to hug you all.'" - Nancy McCallum / Layne’s Mom. Words and Lyrics by Layne Staley Publishing: Primary Wave Music Publishing We chase misprinted lies We face the path of time And yet I fight And yet I fight This Battle All Alone No one to cry to No place to call home My gift of self is raped My privacy is raked And yet I fight And yet I fight Repeating in my head If I can’t be my own I’d feel better dead For more information, press inquiries, or interview requests, please contact: Jenn Hurst / SVP of Talent Management jenn@mddn.co About CarlieHanson: With each emotional, introspective song she shares with the world,Carlie Hanson revealsa little more of the out-of-placeness that has dominated her headspace over the last few years.That foggy feelingthat’s all-consuming hangs heavy over the 23-year-old singer/songwriter's sophomore album Wisconsin, a deeply personal collection of songs detailing the homesickness that has plagued her since moving to Los Angeles from the home state that gives the record its title. LaCrosse, Wisconsin is where Hanson fell in love with music. Her sister blasted Avril Lavigne and Evanescence in the car, and she grasped that at a young age As that love of music deepened, she recorded herselfsinging in her car, and, to her astonishment, it went viral. Producers took interest and she recordedsome demos, like “Only One," which Taylor Swiftincluded on her list of favorite songs in 2017. At 17, Hanson moved to Los Angeles. Despite early success with self-released EPs and her acclaimed debut album, Tough Boy, she felt out of place. Changing the trajectory of your career is a process, and Hanson documents much of it in Wisconsin. There are, however, glimmers of hope. The title track, for example, is about recalibrating how she feels about moving across the country. As Hanson becomesmore confident in her artistry,she brings a little piece of the Midwest to Los Angeles, song by song.

Florida Governor Signs Bill Increasing Motor Vehicle Exemption in Bankruptcy

Van Horn Law Group, P.A.

The Florida Governor today signed bill SB158 into law, which increases the value of motor vehicles owned by individuals in bankruptcy. The bill raises the motor vehicle exemption from $1,000 to $5,000, enabling more people to keep their cars during bankruptcy proceedings. The previous $1,000 exemption was one of the lowest in the nation. The law was initially put forth during the 2022 legislative session by Rep. Michael Gottlieb and Rep. Christopher Benjamin at the behest of Fort Lauderdale bankruptcy attorney Chad Van Horn. While both the Florida House and Senate approved the bill at the time, it was not signed into law by the governor. At this year’s legislative session, the bill, sponsored by Rep. Christopher Benjamin and co-sponsored by Rep. Gottlieb, Rep. Dotie Joseph and Rep. Johanna Lopez. It was signed into law today by Governor Ron DeSantis. “I pushed for this change because I see hundreds of people each year lose their transportation in bankruptcy proceedings, which makes it harder for them to work and perpetuates the downward spiral into financial insecurity and distress,” said Chad Van Horn, founding partner attorney of Van Horn Law Group. “Although it took two years, I’m still extremely gratified the motor vehicle exemption was approved as it will provide much-needed assistance to individuals in dire financial circumstances.” Van Horn Law Group, P.A. among the top bankruptcy firms in the nation based on number of cases filed in the last 12 months (pacer.gov), is dedicated to restoring peace of mind to individuals in financial distress by providing first-rate, affordable legal services with compassion, understanding and respect.

Scottie Resources Corp

Scottie Resources CEO Brad Rourke joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the final assays from the company's 2023 drill campaign on the Blueberry Contact Zone in British Columbia's Golden Triangle. The results included impressive intercepts such as 13.9 g/t gold over 7.00 meters and 59.2 g/t gold over 1.25 meters. Rourke explained that the Blueberry Contact Zone is situated 2 kilometers north-northeast of the Scottie Gold Mine, which the company owns outright and is located 35 kilometers north of Stewart, BC, along the Granduc Road, the zone has shown significant promise for high-grade mineralization. The 2023 drill campaign encompassed 20,130 meters of diamond drilling, primarily aimed at expanding the Blueberry Contact Zone. The drilling successfully extended high-grade mineralization to a depth of 525 meters. Rourke highlighted key drillholes, such as SR23-312, which targeted the Blueberry-Fifi vein zones and intersected 13.9 grams per tonne gold over 7.00 meters. Additionally, drillhole SR23-306 targeted the Fifi-Lemoffe vein zones, resulting in intercepts of 59.2 g/t gold over 1.25 meters and 9.5 g/t gold over 1.00 meter.

Torr Metals announces preliminary results showing Kilometre-Scale Geophysical Anomalies

Torr Metals

Torr Metals CEO Malcolm Dorsey joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce preliminary results that have identified near-surface high-priority geophysical resistivity anomalies extending up to 1.5 kilometers in depth. These anomalies are coincident with highly anomalous copper, gold, and molybdenum mineralization at the surface. Dorsey explained to Proactive that exploration drill targets have been identified using a newly completed 3D resistivity inversion voxel model. This model was derived from the ZTEM geophysical survey completed over the entirety of the company's 100% owned approximately 140 square kilometers Kolos Copper-Gold Project in late 2023. The identified trend encompasses five priority exploration targets that delineate potential porphyry centers, all of which have never been drilled before. Importantly, all of these priority exploration targets are road-accessible from Highway 5, situated approximately 23 kilometers north-northeast of the city of Merritt. These findings represent a significant step forward in the exploration efforts of Torr Metals, potentially unlocking valuable mineral resources in the Kolos Copper-Gold Project.
