Robert K. Oermann, "the dean of Nashville's entertainment journalists," recently reviewed Derek's new single "Here" in Music Row magazine.  Here's what he had to say:

"We have a winning newcomer, Derek Sholl. He’s a former minor-league baseball player who turned to country music after an injury ended his sports career. Judging by his single, it was a good decision. It also earns him a DisCovery Award...

...the song is nicely crafted, contrasting the many places he’s wandered to with the "Here" in her arms. “I’ll kick off these restless boots/Set down and sink some roots,” he sings in a believable, comfy baritone. Highly listenable."

Congrats to Derek for this week's Music Row Award.  This DisCovery Award is an honor given to Nashville's most noteworthy up-and-coming artist from Robert K. Oermann, in his DISClaimer section.
