REDNECK RIVIERA WHISKEY TAPS GRETCHEN WILSON, GRANGER SMITH AND COLT FORD AS "SPIRIT AMBASSADORS"

Multi-platinum Redneck Woman, Texas-bred Granger Smith and his alter-ego Earl Dibbles Jr., and patriotic country star Colt Ford join forces with owner John Rich to spread the “Work Hard, Play Hard” vision


Redneck Riviera Whiskey (EAST: NASDAQ) has struck a chord with three of John Rich’s friends and fellow country artists – Gretchen Wilson, Granger Smith and Colt Ford. Rich has selected the three country stars to serve as Redneck Riviera Whiskey ambassadors, supporting the brand and its efforts to give back to veterans’ families through their social media channels, performances and beyond. For further information on the brand, please visit http://redneckriviera.com/.

This Redneck Riviera Whiskey partnership is a natural fit for these artists, as they’re fans of the whiskey and its American roots. Gretchen Wilson says, “When John and I wrote 'Redneck Woman' 15 years ago, little did we know there would be a Redneck Riviera Whiskey someday. While that changed my life, here’s to hoping this whiskey will change your attitude."

Portions of Redneck Riviera Whiskey sales benefit Folds of Honor, whose mission is to provide educational scholarships to spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service members. John Rich says, "Folds of Honor is such an important organization to me so I knew I had to give back to them through this whiskey. I love that my friends also got behind it and are supporting a great cause."

Rich has recently traveled throughout the Southeast meeting fans and signing bottles sold at select whiskey tastings. The efforts the ambassadors will put behind Redneck Riviera will continue to enhance the overall marketing of the brand.

“Redneck Riviera Whiskey gives me the opportunity to support a friend’s venture, our veterans’ families and its the smoothest whiskey around,” Colt Ford said.

Granger Smith added, “I’ve been known to sing a song or two about whiskey so I’m excited to support a friend and partner with John’s Redneck Riviera.”

Eastside Distillng announced on April 23 that Redneck Riviera Whiskey is now being distributed in 15 states, with the addition of Kentucky as the 15th. Grover Wickersham, CEO of Eastside Distilling, says "Eastside is thrilled at the trajectory of Redneck Riviera Whiskey and our partnership with John Rich. For him to bring some of his friends to help spread the word on whiskey is only a win-win for the team. We love to have brand extenders that truly represent the brand and its complex."

COLT FORD SHINES A LIGHT ON PTSD IN 12 MINUTE MINI-MOVIE, "WORKIN' ON"


“Workin’ On,” a powerful 12-minute mini-movie featuring Colt Ford’s hit song which shines a spotlight on one of the biggest health crises facing soldiers returning from deployment: post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, makes its digital debut on NRACountry.com today. Click here to view the video. A private screening of the mini-movie was held earlier this year at the NRA Convention in Nashville.

“There’s men and women that are suffering and struggling with PTSD, that have given everything for us to be able to have the freedoms that we do. And because we can’t see it, a lot of times it goes unnoticed,” Ford said. “So, I just wanted to try and make as big a deal of it as possible, so we can get some help. During this holiday season, let’s not forget the men and women who sacrificed so much for our country."

The music video version of “Workin’ On” featuring both Colt Ford and U.S. Navy SEAL (Ret.), Marcus Luttrell, has garnered nearly 2 million views raising much-needed awareness of this life-altering condition which affects 20 percent of all soldiers deployed within the last six years. From firefighters, to community service workers to the general public, PTSD can affect anyone.

The song, "Workin' On," was included  on Ford's #2 Billboard's Country Album, "Thanks For Listening."

Thankfully, the Lone Survivor Foundation, created by U.S. Navy SEAL (Ret.) Marcus Luttrell, is there to help. Luttrell founded the LSF after he watched several of his fellow soldiers die during Operation Redwing in Afghanistan in 2007.

The film was produced by Colt Ford and Hideout Pictures.

COLT FORD MAKES BIG SCREEN DEBUT IN "JOE DIRT 2: BEAUTIFUL LOSER" ON JULY 16


Performing his song, “Diggin,” Colt Ford makes his major motion picture performance debut in JOE DIRT 2: BEAUTIFUL LOSER – the first-ever made-for-digital sequel to a major motion picture which premieres on Crackle, the streaming television network, July 16, 2015. Hollywood insiders got a sneak peek of the film at the Los Angeles, California World Premiere June 24 at Sony Pictures Studios.

Colt Ford and Band Perform At Crackle Up-Fronts In NYC

“When David Spade reached out about performing, “Diggin’,” in the sequel, I was stoked, “ commented Ford. “The original JOE DIRT is hilarious, and is still one of my favorites. I’m a big fan of David Spade.”

In this sequel to the 2001 cult favorite, David Spade (“Rules of Engagement”) returns as the mullet-wearing, rock and roll loving, down on his luck white-trash-hero who embarks on another epic journey, this time through the recent past, the heartland of America - and his own mind - to get back to his loved ones. Joe Dirt is back with a vengeance, and a mop. David Spade reprises his role alongside Oscar winner Christopher Walken (WEDDING CRASHERS), Brittany Daniel (“The Game”), Dennis Miller, Adam Beach (FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS). Patrick Warburton (“Rules of Engagement”), Mark McGrath (SHARKNADO 2), Charlotte McKinney (“Dancing with the Stars”) and Kevin Farley also star in the sequel.

The album is just pure fun, full of southern, country rock party anthems including the Jamey Johnson co-penned, “Tailgate,” (featuring The LACS), “Waffle House,” an ode to the off-ramp staple (featuring John Anderson), the number one smash hit for Jason Aldean, “Dirt Road Anthem,” (featuring Brantley Gilbert), and the autobiographical, “Mr. Goodtime,” featuring Ronnie Dunn’s unmistakable vocals.

Hitting the road nationwide this fall in support of the new album, Ford will take the stage in 34 cities on the Florida Georgia Line, “Here’s to the Good Times,” arena tour. Over the past five years, Ford and his band have performed for more than one million fans from coast to coast delivering honest, real music that connects with audiences on every level.
