JIMMY FORTUNE HITS THE ROAD FOR NORTH AMERICAN 40-PLUS CITY TOUR

Fortune Announces 14th Annual Alaskan Cruise for July 2017


Country Music Hall of Fame singer/songwriter Jimmy Fortune is gearing up for his upcoming 2017 North American tour, which includes more than 40 stops (see dates below). The must-see tour is already underway, with several standout appearances in 20 different states. Fans will also have a chance to catch waves with Fortune later this year, as he appears on the 14th Annual Jimmy Fortune Alaskan Cruise.

“This is my 14th year as a solo artist and I’ve been very blessed to have also had a successful career with the Statler Brothers, and now still being able to go to these great places and towns,” said Jimmy Fortune. “Being able to say thank you to the fans is what I look forward to the most. Signing autographs and hearing stories from fans after each show is always a highlight.”

Since getting his start with the iconic Statler Brothers exactly 35 years ago singing tenor, the chart topper has transitioned from group member to a successful solo artist. As a member of both the Country Music Hall of Fame and Gospel Music Hall of Fame, along with penning No. 1 country hits such as “Elizabeth” and “Too Much On My Heart,” Fortune has a history of captivating country and gospel music fans. The award-winning singer looks to build upon that momentum on the blockbuster tour, performing a combination of gospel standards, along with some of the biggest Statler Brothers hits.

Fortune is kicking off the year on a high, after a huge 2016, which saw the singer being awarded the “Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award” by the Academy of Country Music with the Statler Brothers. Fortune was also the recipient of his very first Dove award for “Bluegrass Recorded Song of the Year,” along with the Oak Ridge Boys for their song “Life’s Railway To Heaven” featured on Fortune’s critically acclaimed project Hits & Hymns. The popular TV special, “Jimmy Fortune: Hits & Hymns” also helped to propel Fortune to new heights, being featured on nationwide television throughout the year.

AARON LEWIS, CMT, AND BLASTER RECORDS PARTNER FOR A HIGH SEAS ADVENTURE

"Set Sail Aboard The Simple Man Cruise With Aaron Lewis”
Sweepstakes To Launch July 10
 
 
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (July 9, 2013) – Coinciding with the launch of his new single, “Granddaddy’s Gun,” Aaron Lewis, Blaster Records and CMT have partnered to give one lucky fan and their guest a four-day adventure aboard Lynyrd Skynryd’s Simple Man Cruise VII. Lewis will be performing for the first time on the seventh annual excursion of the music intensive getaway, which departs Miami on October 20 and visits Key West and Great Stirrup Cay before returning to Miami October 24. The sweepstakes will officially launch July 10 at sweepstakes.cmt.com.

CMT debuted the video for “Granddaddy’s Gun”, directed by Jim Wright for Taillight TV, on July 4. Shot in Watertown, TN, the music video depicts the power of family and the traditions they share between generations. The video is also available for streaming on CMT.com via on.cmt.com/1cIxczw.

“Granddaddy’s Gun” is the latest single from Lewis' critically acclaimed album The Road. The song, which was written by Rhett Akins, Dallas Davidson and Bobby Pinson, marks the first time Lewis has ever recorded a song that he didn’t write.

“I was on a hunting trip with Rhett and he grabbed a guitar and started playing me the song,” recounts Lewis. “He was about halfway through the first chorus and I knew I was going to ask for his blessing to put it on my record. It was very much the kind of song I could have written. The lyrics really closely portray my life.”

The song shipped to radio in late June and is being greeted warmly by programmers. “’Granddaddy’s Gun’ is a smash that speaks to the heart of our format,” says Kerry Wolfe, Program Director of WMIL/Milwaukee. “It’s a song about family and values passed down from generation to generation. It’s a song about my audience.”

The winner of the "Set Sail Aboard The Simple Man Cruise With Aaron Lewis” sweepstakes will be presented with a once-in-a-lifetime prize package that includes a cabin for two on board the Norwegian Pearl plus round-trip airfare and local transportation for themselves and a guest for Simple Man Cruise VII. The lucky winner and their guest will also have the opportunity to get to know Lewis and bowl a few games with him at the ship’s bowling alley.

FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE’S GOLD-CERTIFIED DEBUT HERE’S TO THE GOOD TIMES CATAPULTS TO #1 ON BILLBOARD'S TOP COUNTRY ALBUMS CHART

Breakout Duo’s Multi-Week #1 Debut “Cruise” Certified 4X Platinum

New Single “Round Here” Is Top 30-and-Rising At Country Radio

Holy crap! Florida Georgia Line's debut song, "Cruise", has now been certified 4X's Platinum! That's double double platinum! Now that's impressive, I don't care if you like the song or not or whether you like the group or not. Those that know me, know I am not a fan of crossover. I prefer my country pure, but since the first time I saw these guys perform live a few years back, I loved their show, their personalities and their work ethic and knew it was a group I had to support. Is the music "country", technically no, but it has a twang to it and if you listen to their first cd, you can hear the country in it. The second cd, this one, is more rock/pop directed but whatever you call them, country fans are loving them, I see it everyday. The numbers speak for themselves, they're doing something right. I'm proud of them, stand by them and support them wholeheartedly. They are all great guys with charisma that could bring Attila the Hun to his knees, humble hearts and a genuine kindness that is rare in this industry. They're living their dream which is more than most of us can say. They worked hard to get here, established a bond with their fans, and believed in their talent even when it seemed like nothing was ever going to happen and they were playing small bars to small crowds. This is what happens when humility and confidence work together. Way to go Brian Kelley, Tyler Hubbard, Brian Bonds, Tom Beaupre and Sean Fuller. You are why we do what we do and we love you.

 

Nashville, TN (June 21, 2013) – Florida Georgia Line is on fire this week with their debut album HERE’S TO THE GOOD TIMES topping Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart for the first time and moving up to the #5 spot on the Top 200 Chart. The feat catapults the breakout duo into an elite bracket as one of just three artists (Jason Aldean's "My Kinda Party" in 2011 and Taylor Swift's self-titled in 2007) in the past six years, to reach the top after their initial chart debut. Named as “Country’s party album of the year” by USA Today, the Republic Nashville project increased an impressive 20% in sales this week and has already garnered GOLD certifications in both the U.S. and Canada.
 
The hot duo - comprised of Tyler Hubbard (Monroe, Georgia) and Brian Kelley (Ormond Beach, Florida) - learned of the great news following their live performance with Nelly of the smash “Cruise” remix on NBC’s The Voice season finale Tuesday night (6/18). Watch the electrifying performance here: http://www.nbc.com/the-voice/video/florida-georgia-line-and-nelly-cruise/n38159/.
 
FGL has skyrocketed since releasing back-to-back, multi-week #1 smashes in the US and Canada with the PLATINUM “Get Your Shine On” and 4X PLATINUM-certified “Cruise,” which combined with the Top 10-and-climbing (Top 40 Charts) remix, has sold over four million downloads. Their follow-up single “Round Here” is already Top 30-and-rising at Country radio.
 
Garnering buzz among fans, media and several Superstars across genres – including Taylor Swift, Keith Urban and Ed Sheeran – the hot newcomers most recently scored two CMT Music Awards for Duo Video of the Year and Breakthrough Video of the Year as well as a Teen Choice Awards nomination for Choice Country Group. Fans ages 13-19 can vote once a day via teenchoiceawards.com, with results airing August 11 at 8P ET on FOX. VEVO has also selected FGL for the coveted LIFT program, offering exclusive content across the world’s leading all-premium music video and entertainment platform.
 
The ACM New Artist of the Year and New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year winners are currently touring with Taylor Swift’s THE RED TOUR and Luke Bryan’s DIRT ROAD DIARIES TOUR.

FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE MARKS SECOND CONSECUTIV​E #1 IN US & CANADA WITH “GET YOUR SHINE ON”

Personal Note: We are so proud of these guys. We were one of the very first media outlets to promote Florida Georgia Line nearly 3 years ago and to see how far they've come is so wonderful. We love them and hope to see this trend of popularity continue for them. They've worked hard to achieve this and deserve every bit of it. This is what hard work, a foundation built on a relationship with your fans and belief in your talent does for you. They did this all on their own long before signing with a label.

Breakout Duo Nominated For THREE CMT Music Awards
& A Billboard Music Award For “Cruise”

Nashville, TN (March 21, 2013) – After hinting for weeks, Republic Nashville’s Florida Georgia Line have exclusively announced, via their social networks, that a “Cruise” (Remix Feat. Nelly) will be available on April 2.

The breakout duo has caught the attention of several Superstars, including Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, and now, GRAMMY-winning Hip Hop artist Nelly. The sizzling collaboration will impact radio just in time for Spring and a taste of the new mix is subtly place in Nelly’s “Hey Porsche” video. Watch via http://vevo.ly/VfDGCr.

FGL’s Brian Kelley (Ormond Beach, Florida) says, “when we caught wind that Nelly was a fan of 'Cruise,' we were floored. We've been fans of his music for years and thought it would be cool to team up on a remix.”

“Nelly really brought a fresh, unique sound to ‘Cruise’ and we’re super excited for our fans to hear!” adds FGL’s Tyler Hubbard (Monroe, Georgia).

With an ever-expanding fanbase, the remix is poised to follow the success of FGL’s Double Platinum, multi-week #1 smash “Cruise.” Their follow-up Country single, “Get Your Shine On,” has sold over 500,000 copies and is Top 15-and-climbing. Both songs are featured on their debut album HERE’S TO THE GOOD TIMES, which earned the highest debut album sales of 2012 for a new Country artist.

FGL’s catchy tunes and energetic live show have garnered coveted slots on two major Country tours – Taylor Swift’s “THE RED TOUR” and Luke Bryan’s “DIRT ROAD DIARIES TOUR” – this year. Next week, the hot newcomers will open for Swift’s three-night, sold-out stint at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.

New Single “Get Your Shine On” Is Top 25 & Climbing


Nashville, TN (February 13, 2013) – The good times keep coming for Florida Georgia Line – and just this morning – the rising country duo has been awarded the Academy of Country Music’s 2013 New Vocal Duo or Group honor, marking their first ACM win. FGL also scored nominations in the New Artist of the Year presented by Kohl’s and Vocal Duo of the Year categories. The award show will be broadcast live from Las Vegas on Sunday, April 7 on CBS at 8:00 PM ET / PT.

“We used to tell each other how fun it would be one day to actually attend an award show,” shares Brian Kelley. “This last year has been a whirlwind and we’ve had the opportunity to go to a few. With that said, we never dreamed we would win an award or receive multiple nominations. This is an unbelievable honor!”

Tyler Hubbard adds, “thank you to our fans for letting us play for you out on the road and giving back in such a cool way. This award and these nominations couldn’t have happened without you!”

Since releasing their multi-week #1, PLATINUM debut single, “Cruise,” FGL has exploded on to the country music scene. To date, the tune has sold over two million copies and was the quickest Top 10 by a new duo since Brooks & Dunn’s “Brand New Man” over two decades ago, according to Billboard. In less than two months, FGL’s follow-up single, “Get Your Shine On,” has sold over 250,000 copies and landed in the Top 25 at Country radio.

Comprised of Tyler Hubbard from Monroe, Georgia and Brian Kelley from Ormond Beach, Florida, the Republic Nashville duo brings a fresh combination of eclectic beats and expressive lyrics to the genre. Producer Joey Moi (Jake Owen, Nickelback) showcases their unique sound throughout their debut album, HERE’S TO THE GOOD TIMES, which earned the highest debut album sales of 2012 for a new Country artist with nearly 63,000 copies in the first week.

FGL is currently on the road with Luke Bryan’s DIRT ROAD DIARIES tour. Their energetic stage presence and infectious lyrics have earned the attention of fans and Superstars – Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Jennifer Nettle’s (Sugarland) and Dierks Bentley – alike.
