On the heels of their acclaimed debut release, American Griots – The Album, award-winning, Nashville-based recording artists and producers, Louis York have been confirmed for iHeartRadio’s coveted “On The Verge” program, which begins today, November 18th through Sunday, December 22nd.

Under the promotion, the duo’s latest single “How Will I Feel” is playing on over 25 Urban AC iHeart Radio stations in major US markets including, Chicago, Detroit, Boston and Philadelphia.

“I’m really looking forward to our listener’s reaction when they finally hear Louis York’s ‘How Will I Feel’ on the radio.  I was crazy about the song during the first listen,” stated Doc Wynter, iHeartMedia’s Executive Vice President of Urban / Hip Hop Programming Strategy.

Praised by Nashville.com as “so eclectic you might not even know it was the same duo from song to song,” American Griots – The Album debuted at #8 on the iTunes Album chart and features a bevy of stand-out tracks, all written and produced by members Chuck Harmony and Claude Kelly.  The album’s current single “How Will I Feel,” showcases the duo’s sharp songwriting craft, while the thought provoking “I Wonder,” features Nashville poet Caroline Randall Williams, and tackles a wider message about the world at large, evoking a conversation on what activist predecessors would have thought about culture in 2019.  Another album highlight includes the country-inspired track “Teach Me a Song,” which features acclaimed country singer, songwriter Jimmie Allen.

Next up, the group will put on its annual Christmas Time with Louis York & The Shindellas on Saturday, December 7th at the Franklin Theater in Franklin, TN.  Additional east and west coast dates to be announced soon.
