Country Stars, NASCAR Drivers Unite for Fan Event
The inaugural Sound and Speed event made a pit stop in downtown Nashville on Friday and Saturday (Jan. 13-14), officially uniting big-name country stars and NASCAR's top drivers for the first time.
Though NASCAR and country music largely share a common fan base, Sound and Speed 2006 raised money for two distinctly different organizations. The drivers endorsed the Victory Junction Gang Camp, a North Carolina property for children with chronic illness. Driver Kyle Petty and wife Pattie founded the camp to honor their son, Adam, who died at age 19 following a racing crash in 2000. Meanwhile, Nashville artists showed up to supplement the operational costs of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
"There's a hunger in a lot of artists and people who love and revere this kind of music to educate people on where it came from," said Vince Gill, who served as co-chair of the event with Kyle Petty. "To me, that's what the Hall of Fame is all about. It stands for our history. I think that as this culture becomes easier to discard, I think it's more important these days to stand up for what we love."
Following an all-star private gala at the Wildhorse Saloon the night before, the singers and drivers converged on the Gaylord Entertainment Center on Saturday morning for autographs and photo ops. However, due to logistical issues, fans couldn't get unlimited meet-and-greets because every line required a different color of wristband. If you had the wrong color -- or no wristband at all -- then you were out of luck. As a result, with just three autograph sessions scheduled, fans could only get in three lines over the course of the day.
Drivers were paired with musicians. If you wanted to meet Dale Earnhardt Jr., you automatically got to meet LeAnn Rimes, too. But if you hoped to meet back-flipping driver Carl Edwards as well as model Niki Taylor, you couldn't do it because they were in separate lines. With such limited access to the celebrities, many frustrated fans promptly asked for refunds.
However, there were more activities in the area than just shaking hands with the stars. Richard Petty and George Jones teamed Saturday morning for an insightful Q&A at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. About 20 racecars were parked in the concourse of the Gaylord Entertainment Center so fans could peek inside and admire the 2006 paint schemes. And by the end of the night, a loud, upbeat arena concert featuring Keith Anderson, LeAnn Rimes and Montgomery Gentry soothed most of the sore feelings.
Other country artists taking part in Sound and Speed 2006 activities included Shannon Brown, Elizabeth Cook, Diamond Rio's Marty Roe and Jimmy Olander, Andy Griggs, Erika Jo, Lila McCann, Jo Dee Messina, Julie Roberts, Ricky Skaggs, Ray Stevens, Darryl Worley, Chely Wright and Trisha Yearwood.
Participating drivers also included Max Angelleli, Greg Biffle, Chad Chaffin, Harry Gant, Jeff Green, Kevin Harvick, Ernie Irvan, Bo

Lila McCann Marries
Lila McCann married her boyfriend of three years, Mike Wolofsky, at the Hermitage Hotel in Nashville on Nov. 20.

Her duet with Brickman, "I’m Amazed," will be included on McCann’s upcoming album, due in early 2006. A live performance of the song will air as part of a Brickman special on select PBS stations over the holidays. McCann’s hits include "I Wanna Fall in Love" and "Down Came a Blackbird."

Jason Aldean Introduces Crowd Favorite "Relentless" To Radio And Television Audiences -- "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" Among TV Appearances
Nashville, Tenn. (April 9, 2008) – Award-winning country music singer Jason Aldean will debut the title track off his Gold-certified sophomore album RELENTLESS for radio and television audiences next week, highlighted by a performance of the new release on the “Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” on Thursday, April 17.
Coming off the heels of yet another Top 5 single, “Relentless” is one of the most meaningful album tracks to the music industry underdog, who survived two bad label deals only to triumph on Nashville’s premiere indy label Broken Bow Records.
“We named the second album ‘Relentless’ in honor of this song and all the hard work we’ve done to finally have some success,” said Aldean. “We have five hits under our belt now, but this is the song that the fans have been crazy for since we put the album out, so we are making it a single in honor of everyone who comes to our shows and sings it back to us.”
Aldean will also make appearances on GAC’s Opry Live this Saturday, the 2008 CMT Music Awards on Monday, April 14 and Los Angeles’ No. one rated morning show, KTLA Morning News, next Wednesday, April 16, where he will perform both “Johnny Cash” and “Relentless.”
Aldean has been consistently selling out his RELENTLESS ’08 tour dates in theatres and small arenas across the country since it rolled out in January. He has been handpicked by Tim McGraw to open the “Live Your Voice” tour, starting May 9 in Tampa, FL and continuing on to 30 major markets through the summer.

NASHVILLE - (January 31, 2007) – After wrapping the most successful consecutive multi-year tour in country music history last year, “Soul2Soul II,” with wife Faith Hill, Tim McGraw returns to touring in 2008 as a solo act.

The first leg of the tour is slated to launch in Tampa, Florida on May 9 and will wrap on July 6 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
“I’m looking forward to having Jason and Chad and David out there this year,” said McGraw. “They are among the best live performers out there and I think it’s a great combination that the fans will enjoy.”
Known for his dynamic stage performances and state-of-the-art production, McGraw has proven himself as one of the top entertainers in the entire music industry. McGraw is the only country music artist in 2007 to be named a Top 10 earner by Forbes Magazine. He recently won his 11th CMA award and his first-ever BMI award as a songwriter for the co-penned hit “My Little Girl,” and was named Billboard’s Top Male Artist in country music in 2007. McGraw also scored four Grammy nominations this year.
Following closely on the heels of his PLATINUM certified self-titled debut, Jason Aldean’s sophomore album RELENTLESS propelled him to the front lines of country music this year with unprecedented sales. The two albums have produced four hit singles (“Hicktown,” “Why,” “Amarillo Sky” and “Johnny Cash) and four #1 videos to date, along with multiple industry award nominations including CMA’s prestigious “Horizon Award.” His current single “Laughed Until We Cried” is already a Top 15 hit and climbing. Praised by critics and fans alike for his high-energy live show, Aldean has been working audiences since he was 14 in bars and clubs across the Southeast. “I’m excited to get a chance to work with Tim,” says Aldean. “I came up through the clubs covering his music every night, so going on tour with him now definitely feels surreal.”

Jason Aldean And "JOHNNY CASH" Hit The Jackpot This Week With Lucky Number Four
Aldean Set To Perform on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" on Wednesday
Nashville, TN (June 25, 2007) - Just four weeks after rising country music star Jason Aldean soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart with sophomore effort RELENTLESS, he is seeing quadruple this week as the lead single "Johnny Cash" becomes his fourth consecutive Top 10 single and his fourth consecutive No. 1 video on CMT.
"If I were in Vegas right now, I wouldn't have to think too hard about what number to bet on," joked Aldean. "In all seriousness though, I am just really thankful to have had some success over the last few years and really appreciative of all my supporters at radio and all my fans who have helped me do it."
Aldean has another full week of press interviews ahead including a trip to Los Angeles on Wednesday, June 27 to perform "Johnny Cash" on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno".

Jason Aldean Rockets to the Top
Upcoming Appearances include "Good Morning America", "Fox & Friends", "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live"
Nashville, TN (June 5, 2007) - More than tripling first week sales of his debut album, rising country music star Jason Aldean's second Broken Bow Records album - RELENTLESS - lands at No. 1 on Billboard's Country Albums Chart and No. Four on the all-genre Top 200 chart this week with scans totaling over 90,000. Additionally, those numbers are enough to anchor Aldean as the third best country album debut of the year, following only behind music superstars Tim McGraw and Martina McBride.
"We've been out on the road trying to win audiences over one at a time with our live show, but you never know if that energy is going to translate into album sales," said Aldean. "This is definitely a career highlight so far, and I am really looking forward to being at CMA Music Fest this week, so I can thank all the fans personally!"
"To say that Jason is the hottest and most charismatic star to break into Nashville in years is an understatement," notes Bob Morelli, President, RED distribution. "It's unprecedented in the current music industry climate to see an indy artist come out of the box with such impressive numbers on a second album. It is a testament to Jason's talent and the hard work of Broken Bow Records. We are thrilled to be a part of their team."
The award-winning Georgia native is currently preparing for a busy week ahead of media appearances, autograph signings, live performances and charity events. He will jet to New York for a performance of his smash hit single "Johnny Cash" on "Good Morning America" tomorrow, before returning to Nashville for a full schedule of CMA Music Festival activities including a Platinum Party to celebrate his debut album on Thursday, a stadium performance at LP Field on Friday, followed by his 3rd Annual Concert For the Cure charity event to benefit Susan G.

Concert for the Cure
THIRD ANNUAL JASON ALDEAN CONCERT FOR THE CURE SET FOR FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 2007
Nashville, TN (May 15, 2007) - Rising country music star Jason Aldean will once again host his annual Concert For The Cure during CMA Music Festival at the Wildhorse Saloon to benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Following his stadium appearance, Aldean will headline the late night show with surprise special guests stopping by throughout the night to lend support and silent auction items available from some of country music's biggest names.
"Last year, all the fans were really supportive of the show and came to the Wildhorse ready to party," says Aldean. "The band and I had as much fun as they did, so there was no question we wanted to do this again. It's a great time for a great cause."
Breast cancer touched Aldean personally when a close family friend passed away from the disease at only 26 years of age. Since that tragic loss, Aldean has been committed to lending his celebrity in the search for a cure. He has also partnered with Komen to support their activities during October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month and last year appeared in public service campaigns helping raise awareness for the organization.
"They say that one in nine women are diagnosed with breast cancer, and that number is really frightening to me," explains Aldean. "I have a running joke going about how I'm outnumbered by all the women in my life, but for those women, I take this seriously."
Tickets range from $20 to $35 and are available through www.jasonaldean.com and the Wildhorse Saloon. A limited number of VIP Packages including tickets in the exclusive VIP lounge, meet & greet passes and other concert opportunities will also be available through Aldean's web site.
