NEW CLIENT ANNOUNCEMENT: PLA Media Stirs Up Creative Storm with Signing of High Mountain Breezes
Launching into 2024, PLA Media brings on a notable new client, the High Mountain Breezes.
This group is made up of the behind-the-scenes heroes, the rarely recognized yet legendary songwriters, producers, and players who tour, create, and write for country music royalty. The HMB family has worked with the greats, including Alabama, Tanya Tucker, Pam Tillis, Garth Brooks, Emmylou Harris, George Jones, Shania Twain, Reba McEntire, and many more.
After years of dedication to the music of others, the creatives behind the High Mountain Breezes have set out to share their own music with the world. With over 400,000 Spotify streams on their first album, they’ve attracted the ear of music lovers everywhere.
“As professional musicians, vocalists and songwriters in a very competitive field, we have been blessed beyond measure to play, produce, and write on memorable projects with a ‘who’s who’ of high-profile artists spanning decades,” exclaimed HMB Founder and songwriter Bruce Tarletsky. “Now with our band of long-time friends, High Mountain Breezes, we are excited to write and collaborate on our own projects. Making music for ourselves across various genres is reflected in the depth of our sound. This is bucket list stuff and we are having a blast!” He went on to say, “We think it’s so awesome that our friends around the world have embraced and continue to enjoy our music.”
Added PLA Media CEO, Pamela Lewis: “Bruce and his ‘HMB’ band of troubadours bring years of musical magic creating the signature licks on music’s most iconic tracks. Now, they’re creating their own bucket list collection. PLA is proud to amplify their initiatives to the world.”

About High Mountain Breezes
HMB is a collection of lifelong music friends who take time out of their professional careers to come together to reconnect, share in friendship and God-given talent to create their own style of music together. In the studio, it is a very heartfelt and spiritual experience shared among friends who love what they do as opposed to a standard studio work session.
One player expressed the spirit of HMB very eloquently when he said, “The gift of being a worthy session player is two-fold: First, using one’s palette to augment something already beautiful; and second, being trusted and skilled enough to do it.”
When HMB comes together as a team, members use this sentiment for the collective whole. In a way, the HMB players are leaving their own mark on music by creating a unique legacy. When together, it is truly a collaborative effort where time stands still. Everyone from the players, the vocalist, the songwriting team, and producers contribute to their songs. When you hear one of the High Mountain Breezes’ songs, you will feel the chemistry of years of friendship paired with musical mastery achieved only through each member’s legendary skillset combined.
With overflowing talent, the High Mountain Breezes players have more offerings than their music alone. HMB offers songwriter mentoring sessions for those just starting out or those looking to take their skills to the next level. Imagine learning the do’s and don’ts on how to write a hit from the brain behind Alabama’s #1 smash Jukebox in My Mind! HMB is also available to consult on other artists’ projects, including helping with songwriter demos and artist sessions.
