“[ For Immediate Release] Corona resident and award winning country recording artist Brent Payne is making waves in the music Industry. Country Strong in Corona! March 17 2014 A city like Corona isn’t known for big stars, but there are certainly some rising ones. One of these stars is Corona resident Brent Payne, who is currently working on his next country album. The album, which has not been titled yet will most likely be out in the fall of 2014. “It’s definitely a talent from a higher source,” said Payne. “When you look out from stage and see people smiling, laughing [and knowing that] the weight of their lives isn’t there, I love it.” “I want to touch as many people as possible. The title track reflects this. I’ve been going through some really tough times myself, and wanted to soul search,” he said. “Part of it is that I hope that [my songs] can touch people in some way and help them in their lives and relationships. I hope it will touch many lives.””
