UK Music Apps Ltd has launched a dedicated Country music version of its chord-based app for iPad and iPhone: SessionBand Country - Volume 1. Here's their press release with all the details:


The SessionBand Country app enables musicians and non-musicians to create their own professional quality Country music tracks in minutes by selecting and joining together chord blocks and watching them convert into editable audio loops.

Inside this latest edition of the app, there are over 12,000 chord-based, copyright-free Country audio loops based around 15 popular Country styles of music.  The music has been created exclusively for SessionBand by four of the world's top session musicians under the guidance of UK bassist and producer Geoff Gascoyne.

"What makes SessionBand unique is that all the content is chord-based" says Gascoyne, "making it possible for users to quickly and easily create full and complete backing tracks for any song...without playing a note!". For instrumentalists too, the app is a unique accompaniment tool. Jamie Cullum describes the SessionBand app as "...extraordinarily useful".

All musical content is downloaded with the app itself and resides there, so users can create music anywhere - without the need for ongoing internet access. SessionBand apps also come with professional features like automated mixing, auto-transpose, one-touch recording, real-time tempo shift and Audiobus compatibility - allowing users to seamlessly export content into other music apps like Apple's own GarageBand.

SessionBand Country features some of the world's top session musicians: Drums - Ralph Salmins (Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Van Morrison...); Guitars – Adam Goldsmith (Brian May, Robbie Williams, Elton John...); Bass – Geoff Gascoyne (Sting, Georgie Fame, Van Morrison, Bill Bruford, Gloria Estefan, Jamie Cullum...) and Piano/Keyboards - Tom Cawley (Jack DeJohnette, Peter Gabriel, Charlie Watts, Jane Monheit, Guy Barker...).

SessionBand Country is the latest in a fast growing range of apps from the publisher UK Music Apps Ltd which has similar apps in other musical genres including Jazz, Rock and Blues. SessionBand apps have already been selected as 'New and Noteworthy' in App Stores in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and have become best-sellers in all the major app territories.

SessionBand Country - Volume 1 is on sale in the Apple iTunes store priced £5.99/$8.99/€7.99.
