GRETCHEN WILSON KICKS OFF SUMMER TOUR

The Workin’ Women Tour Features Jessie G

GRAMMY Awarding winning multi-platinum singer, songwriter, producer and label president Gretchen Wilson hit the road on her The Workin’ Women Tour, which will run through early September. Oregon native Jessie G, the first artist signed to Gretchen’s Redneck Records label, will be featured on all of the tour dates and she and her band will open many of the dates.

“This is going to be a really fun summer,” said Gretchen. “I’ve got a really great band put together that’s a little more Southern Rock and a little more on the heavy edge of Country, and we’re ready to go!”

Gretchen met Jessie G, who is supporting her debut single “Army Ranger,” in Portland, Oregon several years ago. Jessie was in a battle of the bands competition, where she won the opportunity to open for the Redneck Woman herself. Gretchen could hear the performance from her bus and knew she was listening to someone special.

“I’ve been making records and traveling the world for more than 14 years,” said Gretchen. “I’ve met and seen some extraordinarily talented artists, but none have made the impression that Jessie has. Jessie G means business when it comes to her music.”

Jessie G will sing “Army Ranger” during Gretchen’s set on all of the dates, and will perform a full set as an opening act on many of the dates. Watch her “Army Ranger” music video here, and download/listen at all digital outlets here.

“I’ve always had a love and respect for Gretchen,” said Jessie. “Her spunk and tenacity reminded me of the women in my family. I admire her for being one of the first women to sing with the same sentiment, and about the same stories, that men sing about. She’s brave and has no boundaries that confine her, and I am incredibly excited and honored to be on tour with her.”

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."

GRETCHEN WILSON TO JOIN 3 DOORS DOWN ON ZZ TOP'S "GANG OF OUTLAWS" TOUR

April 9, 2012 -- Sure to be one of this touring season's hottest packages, The Gang of Outlaws Tour, brings three leaders of their respective genres together for six weeks of performances this May and June. Joining the legendary ZZ Top are 3 Doors Down and, on most of the dates, Gretchen Wilson. The tour will alight at select eastern, southern and mid western venues, kicking off May 25 in Manchester, NH.

ZZ Top, "That Little Ol' Band From Texas," will be topping the bill and playing the songs that have made the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers American music icons in the forefront of blues-based rock for more than forty years. The band's line-up of Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard has been intact all that time - a feat unequalled in the annals of music history. Their catalog of massive hits includes "Sharp Dressed Man," "Gimme All Your Lovin'," "Legs," "Tush," "LaGrange" and more. It is expected they'll preview new material from their forthcoming release over the course of The Gang of Outlaws Tour.

Notes Gibbons, "We're really looking forward to working with the guys from 3 Doors Down and Gretchen too, if we may borrow from the late, great Robert Johnson, clear those stones from the pass way on this phenomenal tour. The Gang of Outlaws is ready to ride!"

ZZ Top will be partnering up with southern alternative rock's hugely successful 3 Doors Down, straight out of Escatawpa, Mississippi. The group -- Brad Arnold, Matt Roberts, Todd Harrell, Chris Henderson and Greg Upchurch-- brings its multi-platinum catalog of hits and album tracks to the tour including their #1 smash hits "Kryptonite," "When I'm Gone" and "Here Without You," and their latest chart topper "It's Not My Time." Says lead singer Brad Arnold of Gang of Outlaws, "The tour is huge! We have the honor to share the stage with some amazing artists, including one of my favorite bands, ZZ Top! We can't wait to bring Gang Of Outlaws to your town."

Rounding out the bill in style is Gretchen Wilson, representing the distaff side of the Gang of Outlaws. Her breakthrough hit, "Redneck Woman" is well known as the anthem of southern sass and femininity. Her catalog of rock-inspired country hits includes multiple platinum albums and such single smashes as "Work Hard, Play Harder," "Here For The Party," "When I Think About Cheatin'," "All Jacked Up" and more. She expressed her feelings about her participation in a no uncertain terms: "Obviously I couldn't be more excited that I am to be part of this tour... Fabulous guys, fabulous musicians!"

GRETCHEN WILSON, BIG & RICH PRESENT AIR FORCE VET WITH HOME

Artists' Proceeds from XTREME MUZIK THE TOUR Date at Woods Amphitheater

Donated to Operation FINALLY HOME

(Nashville, Tennessee...) -September 8, 2011 - On a beautiful night at The Woods Amphitheater at Fontanel where temperatures approached triple-digits, Xtreme Muzik The Tour co-headliners Gretchen Wilson and Big & Rich raised the mercury even higher not just with their sold-out show of hit after crowd-pleasing hit, but with their hearts as well. Halfway through their thunderous set, which rarely saw either act leave the stage, Gretchen and Big & Rich surprised Air Force veteran Shaun Meadows with a new house from their own proceeds from the evening and Operation FINALLY HOME.

A member of the 22nd Special Tactics Squadron, Meadows lost both legs in July 2008 during a combat reconnaissance patrol in Afghanistan when he was hit by an improvised explosive device. Last year, he became the first active-duty double amputee in Air Force history to successfully perform a personnel drop (skydive).

An Air Force Color Guard entered the stage, as the band played a Jimi Hendrix-style "Star Spangled Banner." The artists introduced Meadows, his wife and son, and WSMV news anchor Jonathan Martin gave them the big news that a custom-built new home will be constructed in the Nashville area beginning in November. Award-winning builder Goodall Homes has committed to build the home and Nashville-based LP Building Products will serve as lead sponsor, donating materials for the project. The home build can be followed on FinallyHomeTN.com or at Facebook/FinallyHomeTN.

Operation FINALLY HOME, is a 501(c)3 organization that provides custom-made homes to wounded and disabled veterans as well as to widows of the fallen in an effort to get their lives back on track. Run by retired U.S. Air Force Technical Sergeant Daniel Vargas, Operation FINALLY HOME out of New Braunfels, Texas, the program was born out of the Bay Area Builders Association Support Our Troops program.

Xtreme Muzik The Tour heads west this week through September, with dates in Nevada, Arizona, Utah, California, Oregon and Washington. The first leg of the tour wraps up in Canada the end of the month, with four dates across British Columbia.
