With a fantastic location - Triple Creek Park in Gallatin – where the runners will run an obstacle course “hunting” hidden ducks located along the course for prizes, everyone is invited to come dressed as their favorite member of the hit A&E show Duck Dynasty. The 5K will end in the Family Fun Zone with food vendors, inflatables, games, music and community booths. From barbecue to burgers, hot dogs to ice cream and desserts, you family will have a great time playing games and having dinner before the concert while a DJ plays the top music from today.

The evening celebration will feature a country music concert headlined by multi-platinum recording group Little Texas, celebrating their 25th Anniversary tour with greatest hits “God Blessed Texas”, “Amy’s Back In Austin”, “What Might Have Been” and many more. Joining Little Texas at on the lineup is Morgan Frazier, best known for her anti-bullying hit song “Hey Bully.” Partnering with the world renowned anti-bullying organization Stand for the Silent, Frazier has reached hundreds of thousands of kids and adults affected by bullying, visiting schools and corporations across the United States. Opening acts Ash Bowers and Nashville favorites McKenzies Mill will also be performing.

When HomeSafe, Inc., a domestic violence agency serving 4 counties in Middle Tennessee decided on a theme for their 2014 fundraiser, they decided to have fun while raising money for a serious cause. They also wanted to spread the word to children and families about the wonderful work HomeSafe does, serving over 1,600 women and children every year. So they decided on a 5K run during the afternoon and a country music concert at night on March 22, 2014. This concept hatched the theme, “Quack Dynasty.”

MTV LAUNCHES IMPACTFUL NEW VIDEO FROM COUNTRY ARTIST, MORGAN FRAZIER

Video Tackles Reality of Bullying and Premieres on Act.MTV.com

Nashville, Tenn. (Oct. 30, 2013) – Sidewalk/Curb recording artist Morgan Frazier announces that her debut music video, “Hey Bully” world premiered on act.mtv.com. The video addresses tough, real world issues and does not shy away from the truth about bullying. Frazier, who was picked on herself, to the point where she was taken out of school and put in home school, co-wrote the impactful country tune with Sherrie Austin and Tiffany Goss.

“I am so glad that MTV is helping to bring this issue to the forefront, and I applaud act.mtv.com for encouraging folks to truly act on this and to join Stand For The Silent and myself. “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kirk and Laura Smalley of Stand For The Silent everywhere from middle and high schools to major corporate headquarters to address bullying head on. The effects of bullying and the tragedies it can leave behind in today’s world must end. We made this video in an effort to get parents, kids and educators talking about the reality of this issue and to teach kids that suicide is not an option. One child lost is one too many,” says Frazier.

Frazier has partnered with Stand for the Silent (SFTS), whose mission it is to bring global awareness to the disturbing issue of bullying in today’s society. SFTS has been a part of Director Lee Hirsch's feature film, Bully, as well as The Bully Effect, a documentary on CNN’s AC360. SFTS was started after Kirk and Laura Smalley’s son Ty committed suicide in May of 2010 following a school suspension for defending himself against a bully. In their pledge to never stop the fight against school bullying, Kirk and Laura conduct Stand for the Silent presentations at middle and high schools all across the world.

According to Stand For The Silent, the statistics on bullying are alarming:

•Every 7 seconds a child is bullied in this world

•160,000 kids stay home from school every day due to fear of bullying

•25% of high school students in America will actually have a plan to take their own life before they graduate

“Hey Bully” is available now on iTunes: http://bit.ly/heybully

Kids and adults alike can take the SFTS pledge to stop bullying at: www.standforthesilent.org

NEW MUSIC REVIEW: "RADIO UP", THE NEW SINGLE FROM STEVE HOLY

There are certain voices in music that were put there for a reason, that you know from the first note were created just for that purpose. They're timeless, flawless and there's just that something that you immediately love. Steve Holy was blessed with one of those voices and just when you think you've heard his best vocals, he tops himself yet again. From "Blue Moon" to "Good Morning Beautiful" to "Love Don't Run", his strength, power and range have only improved with time and his new single, "Radio Up" proves it once again. The single was just released country radio a couple of weeks ago and is available for download on iTunes and Amazon. The single was included in iTunes' "New and Noteworthy" section as one of the top new singles to keep an ear on. As far as serious recording goes, Steve's had a couple of years off to really focus his efforts on the direction he wants to take, choose the perfect songs and make sure his voice is at it's absolute best and I can tell you, having been a dedicated fan for years, he's reached that goal ... he is at his absolute vocal best.

Recently released to country radio, "Radio Up", the first single on Curb's new label MMC. It's is a catchy, mid-tempo song that tells the story we're all too familiar with and every single one of us can relate to, the inevitable impending break up that you know is coming but you don't want to hear, and would do anything to not have to hear those heart breaking words, "it's over". Few artists have a knack for putting you right smack in the middle of the story of a song, but Steve Holy has the ability to do just that. In the song, the subject does what any music lover would do in his position, he turns the "Radio Up" and drowns out the words to music. We've all been that person at least once in our lives, the person with their hand on the volume, turning it up before the words we didn't want to hear reached our ears and our hearts. We have all turned the radio up in life. The song, written by 3 of Nashville's best writers, Brian White ("Watching You", Rodney Atkins), Ben Glover ("Love Don't Run") and Bruce Wallace, is well crafted and will have you singing along probably by the 2nd or 3rd time you've heard it and you will find yourself singing the chorus to yourself even when the song isn't playing. The chorus is catchy and fun and the melody contagious. This is the quality of music that first made people take notice of Steve's talent and it's the kind that will have them want to keep hearing more from him. "Radio Up" will definitely make you want to turn your own "Radio Up".


We think Steve Holy has another top hit on his hands with this one and from the feedback we've seen and heard so far, I think listeners agree. We hope to see him back at the top of the charts where he should be.

On a Marshall amp, I give it a 12 on a scale of 1-11. Turn the "Radio Up", turn it up LOUD!

You can purchase the single on iTunes or on Amazon now.

Please be sure to leave a review of the single when you purchase. Keep requesting the single on your local stations and keep an eye on your music charts because this one's gonna move fast!

Nashville, TN (January 18, 2013) – FLW, the world’s premier tournament fishing organization, announced today that country music artist Dylan Scott will tour with and perform at multiple Walmart FLW Tour events in 2013.

A 22-year-old native of Bastrop, La., Scott is signed to Sidewalk Records in Nashville. He is currently putting the finishing touches on his debut album with famed producer Jim Ed Norman, and his first single, “Makin’ This Boy Go Crazy” is scheduled to be released to radio in Spring 2013.

“Growing up in Louisiana, I have long been familiar with the FLW tournaments”, said Scott. “It is an honor for me to be involved in the partnership with this organization, and I look forward to performing at the weigh-ins and being part of the festivities.”

Scott will be performing a free concert on the FLW main stage prior to the final day four weigh-ins at Walmart parking lots and arenas at the following events:

• Mar 10 FLW Tour at Lewis Smith Lake presented by Evinrude, Walmart, Jasper, Ala.
• Apr 14 FLW Tour at Beaver Lake presented by Kellogg’s, John Q. Hammons Center, Rogers, Ark.

A talented singer-songwriter with a smooth, baritone voice, Scott is poised to build legions of fans across the country. Inspired by country legends such as Keith Whitley, George Strait and Alan Jackson, Scott decided early in his life that performing country music was his life’s calling. He played the prestigious Louisiana Hayride and won the local final for the Colgate Country Music Showdown. In 2009, Scott won the Neal McCoy East Texas Angel Network Talent Contest. Soon afterwards, he came to the attention of Sidewalk Records executives, who signed him to a long-term recording contract.

Scott will be a welcome addition to entertain the crowds on the 2013 Walmart FLW Tour. Previous artists that have partnered with FLW and performed on the main stage include Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Steve Holy and Eric Church.

LEANN RIMES "BORROWED" FROM THE NEW CD "SPITFIRE" COMING SPRING 2013

Going For Adds December 17th

“Spitfire covers a range of emotions that I’ve experienced in my lifetime, from anger to love, from frustration to letting go. My co-producer and co-writer Darrell and I talked about telling that story in chronological order, but that didn’t work sonically, so Darrell said, “It’s the truth…in no particular order.” And isn’t that what life is about?

That’s what this album is about for me. I took a step back from the years of work and came back to the essence of what music means to me. I made this album for me, for the pure joy of making music, and I think the power of that shows. I looked as this record as making a film. Every song that I wrote and every song I recorded by another songwriter fit the whole vision and story that I wanted to tell. In this album, I’m speaking more honestly than I ever have, from the truth and pain and love in my life and hoping that people connect with those emotions.” - - - LeAnn Rimes
