LES TRAYLOR RELEASES “RIGHT HERE” TO CHRISTIAN RADIO

Song Reflects on God’s Constant Presence Through Life’s Trials, Mercy and Grace

SOURCE: INOV8 PR

NASHVILLE, TN (September 22, 2026) - Independent singer-songwriter Les Traylor has released “Right Here” to Christian radio. Written by Traylor and produced by Mitch Dane, the song is an intimate expression of faith shaped by hardship, mercy and grace, centered on the assurance that God remains present and faithful through every circumstance.

“Right Here” grew from Traylor’s own faith journey and his increasing reliance on God through the changing seasons of life. Rather than focusing on the absence of difficulty, the song points to the presence of God within it, declaring that through trials, storms and uncertainty, there is nowhere Traylor would rather be than close to Him.

The song moves from reflection to surrender as Traylor considers the storms he has faced and the faithfulness he has experienced along the way. Its chorus centers on belonging to Christ and the sacrificial love that rescued him, while the bridge reinforces the conviction that neither fear nor doubt can shake a faith strengthened through adversity.

That message carries particular weight in light of Traylor’s own story. A retired U.S. Army Special Forces combat veteran and lifelong musician, he writes frequently about faith, redemption, restoration, family relationships and the challenges faced by veterans, including PTSD and su***de. His music blends elements of Christian, Country and Southern Rock with storytelling drawn from lived experience.

Traylor has been performing since the age of seven and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Music Performance as well as a Master of Arts. He also served as a member of the “Commandant’s Own,” U.S. Marine Corps Drum & Bugle Corps. His catalog includes Rock of Ages, Baton Rouge, Gold Star Town, Walk Through the Fire and “Right Here.” Gold Star Town received an honorable mention in the 2023 Mid-Atlantic Songwriter’s Contest, while Baton Rouge reached #40 on the GlacierFM Country Music Chart.

With “Right Here,” Traylor offers Christian radio listeners a personal testimony of faith that has endured the storms of life and emerged more deeply rooted in the presence of God. Its message is one of surrender and assurance: whatever circumstances may come, God remains faithful, and there is no better place to be than close to Him.

LINDA BOLES RELEASES “A CHILD OF GOD” TO CHRISTIAN RADIO

Song Celebrates Salvation, Belonging and the Joy of Becoming a Child of God

SOURCE: INOV8 PR

NASHVILLE, TN (September 22, 2026) - Christian singer-songwriter Linda Boles has released “A Child of God” to Christian radio. Written by Boles and produced by John Johnson of Tune Designer, the Inspirational and Christian Soft AC song celebrates the transformation that comes through salvation and the believer’s identity as part of the family of God.

“I wrote ‘A Child of God’ as a reflection of a joyful welcome home, captured in those moments when someone takes that step of faith and finds their true identity in the Lord,” Boles shares. “The song reflects the pure celebration happening both in heaven, where the angels rejoice over every saved soul, and right here on earth within our faith community. It’s a reminder that no one has to walk this road alone; we are bound together as family, stepping into grace side by side.”

That celebration is reflected throughout the song as it moves from redemption to belonging. The recurring declaration, “A child of God,” becomes both an affirmation of identity and a welcome to those who have placed their faith in Christ. The song also echoes the biblical picture of heaven rejoicing over a person who turns to God, while reminding listeners that salvation brings them into a community of believers who can walk alongside them.

For Boles, music and faith have been intertwined throughout her life. Born into a family with deep bluegrass traditions, she developed a musical foundation shaped by melodies, hymns and influences ranging from bluegrass and folk to rock. Personal loss later deepened the spiritual purpose behind her songwriting. Following the sudden death of her first husband, Boles found herself increasingly drawn to songs centered on God’s faithfulness, comfort and hope.

Boles was recently honored with the Bronze Songwriter of the Year Award in the USA Female category at the 2026 International Singer Songwriter Association (ISSA) Awards. The awards ceremony was held August 22 at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center near Atlanta, Georgia. Boles, a recording artist from Smithfield, Virginia, also performed at the official afterparty following the ceremony.

With more than four decades devoted to music and ministry, Boles continues to measure the purpose of her music by its ability to encourage others. “A Child of God” carries that mission forward with a message rooted in redemption, community and the joy of knowing that through faith, believers have been welcomed into the family of God.
