WASHINGTON, Feb. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Chart-topping country music act Love and Theft, headliner for "District Country have just released their newest album entitled Whiskey On My Breath, on February 10, 2015. With brand new material, they will join The Cadillac Three, and Trailer Choir on February 21 for the first-ever "District Country" concert to be held at the legendary National Press Club in downtown Washington, DC.

"We wanted to show a different side and make a record that sounds like us," Stephen Barker-Liles says of Love and Theft's new album. "Country music has always been about honest performances and songs that mean something, and that's the kind of record that we wanted to make."

Whiskey On My Breath—the duo's third album—marks a significant creative statement for the two singer-songwriter-guitarists, whose resume already includes a long series of career highlights. This is their third album, published by Hate & Purchase Music, with brand new material all written or co-written by duo Stephen Barker-Liles and Eric Gunderson, along with fellow country music names you'll recognize including Eric Paslay, Trent Tomlinson, and others.

"We're at a different place, in our music and in our lives, than we were when we made our earlier records, and we wanted this album to reflect that," says Love & Theft partner Eric Gunderson. "We worked harder and more passionately on this record than anything we've ever done. The whole experience was refreshing and inspiring for us."

Having already established themselves as one of country's hottest young acts with such memorable hits as the #1 country smash "Angel Eyes" and the Top 10 hit "Runaway," and their widely acclaimed albums World Wide Open and Love and Theft, the ACM/CMA/CMT-nominated twosome take their music to the next level on Whiskey On My Breath.

Love and Theft will headline with a phenomenal lineup, including Grammy Nominated act The Cadillac Three along with Trailer Choir.
