J. Michael Harter's "Highway Find" on Sirius/XM has officially been sent to terrestrial radio. The song will be the lead single from Harter's forthcoming 12 song album due out later this year. I expect this song to do extremely little unless Harter gets a promotion team to work this at secondary radio or mainstream radio.

If his name sounds familiar, it's probably because J. Michael Harter was in a family trio called The Harters with his brother and sister a few years back and charted with "Jenny" and "If I Run" in 2010 and 2011. He also had a solo record deal with Broken Bow Records in 2002 and charted with his debut single "Hard Call To Make", which reached #41 on R&R and #45 on Billboard. He had a single in 2014 called "Holy Cowgirl."

Interesting to see this name crop up again. I vaguely recall "Hard Call to Make", and I loved both of The Harters' singles.

This goes for adds on September 14th according to Music Row. The label is listed as Harter's Anozira Records and GMV Nashville which Harter partnered with earlier this year.

Expect this to be played on secondary radio, though I have my doubts this will do much there.

This is a really great song, but yeah, I don't expect it to do anything. Which is a shame, because I absolutely love it. The instrumentation/production is great and the song is very well put together. The hauntingly dark melody is right up my alley and his vocals are excellent. I also listened to "Nobody Knows My Name" and "Holy Cowgirl" and loved them too. I'm a fan of his so far; definitely going to check more of his music out and would love to see him find the success he deserves.

The Harters... I absolutely adored "Jenny" but lost track of it!! I have been wanting to find it forever but I couldn't remember the name of the song/artist and I couldn't remember any of the lyrics! "If I Run" is also fantastic. So glad I found both of those songs again!
