LONESTAR & FRIENDS RAISE $39,000 FOR ST. JUDE
GAC helps artists and fans show that country cares for St. Jude Kids
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Lonestar and friends rolled into CMA Music Festival week
with their 3rd Annual Lonestar & Friends Strike Out for the Kids Bowling
Bash, raising $39,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
With the help of dedicated country artists, fans, volunteers and GAC, the
sold out event surpassed previous benchmarks to reach a phenomenal $39,000
for St. Jude. This exceeds last year's event which raised a still impressive
$21,000, and it more than doubled the inaugural year's net proceeds of
$16,300.
Fans crowded into the quaint building of Hermitage Lanes in Nashville for a
chance to bowl with their favorite artist, grab an autograph, take pictures,
and head into CMA Music Fest week with a piece of unique memorabilia. In
addition to the games, a silent auction was held for fans to bid on items
from different celebrities, including one-of-a-kind autographed bowling
shirts from all artists in attendance. Celebrities present included:
Lonestar, GAC host Suzanne Alexander, Carolina Rain, Jeff Bates, Brad
Cotter, Amy Dalley, Dusty Drake, Crystal Hunt, Emerson Drive, Buddy Jewell,
Little Texas, Tracy Lawrence, Jerrod Niemann, Jimmy Olander, Jake Owen,
Danielle Peck, Michael Peterson, Bobby Pinson, Julie Roberts, Keni Thomas,
Trent Tomlinson, Tanya Tucker, Jimmy Wayne, Bryan White and Darryl Worley
and Chris Young in addition to GAC hosts Storme Warren and Nan Kelley.
Teri Watson, Sr. Director of Radio and Entertainment Marketing for St. Jude
spoke on behalf of the patients and families at St. Jude: "We are grateful
to Lonestar and all the artists who participated as well as the loyal fans,
volunteers and our host location Hermitage Lanes for their continued
support. We are equally thrilled with the success of this year's event which
we feel is due in part through the generosity of our new presenting sponsor
GAC."
Lonestar was moved by the success of this year's event. The group commented
on the great support from all avenues for this year's event: "We are so
excited about the amount of money we were able to raise for St. Jude
Children's Hospital with this year's Bowling Party," said Michael Britt on
the event's success. Richie McDonald commented on the overwhelming support
received, "We couldn't have done it without all the wonderful fans and
artists that came to support the event." Dean Sams continued, "We also can't
thank GAC enough for their sponsorship and coverage of the event." "From
Lonestar and especially the kids at St. Jude, we send out a big 'thank you!!'"
stated Keech Rainwater.
Bryan White commented on his continued participation in the event: "I had a
blast! I bowled much better this year. Maybe because the fans got me my own
ball! The guys in Lonestar are as good as they come. They have big hearts.
They know what they've been given and want to use it to draw awareness to
the needs that these children have. I'm honored to be a part of it."
GAC was on hand all evening to film its weekly Top 20 Countdown and catch
all the excitement from fans and artists as pins hit the ground.

Skyla Spencer tells caller "You Said You'd Call Me"!
Nashville, TN - Skyla Spencer performed "You Said You'd Call Me", the title
cut from her current album, at the Full Moon Saloon during the CMA Festival
in Nashville. "You Said You'd Call Me" is a funny, up-beat song written by
Skyla and produced by Ted Hewitt.
"It is always fun to perform this song on stage," says Skyla. "I like to
incorporate some acting into the song. The guy calls me up at the end of the
song and is giving me all these excuses about why he hasn't called. It's
fun to play with different scenerios. I like being creative with it and get
the crowd going."

album, print quality photos, or to schedule an interview, contact Laura
Claffey with Wildfire Publicity at Laura@wildfirepublicity.net or

CMA Music Festival 2007 Is Week of "Firsts" For LANTANA
***Texas Trio Enjoys Getting Close To The Fans
Nashville, TN (June 17, 2007) - "Our first CMA Music Festival week was a
blast ... a truly eye-opening experience," admits LANTANA's Karol Ann
DeLong. It began Tuesday with a visit to Marty Stuart's "Sparkle & Twang"
exhibit at the Tennessee State Museum. At the VIP reception, they met and
posed for pictures with the "Best Hair in Country Music,"
artist/author/photographer, Stuart. "It was so much fun to see his
collection of memorabilia," says group member Dalene Richelle. "It was
literally a visual lesson in the history of country music. My personal
favorite was the display of the Nudie jackets suspended from the ceiling."
The head-turning, bluesy/country trio from Texas loved riding in their
first-ever parade, which "officially" kicked off CMA Music Festival 2007,
and drew 10,000 country music fans to downtown Nashville. Biz Haddock,
Dalene and Karol Ann tossed over 500 Mardi Gras-style "Boot" beads to lucky
fans from their ride - the stylish GM E85 Green and Yellow FlexFuel Truck.
Every day fans flocked to the trio's bustling "home-style" booth designed by
their savvy Fan Club president, Shannon Pfeiffer. Nearly 300 LANTANA-ites
registered to win one of three House Concerts that the group is giving
away - with registrants representing 20 states and several foreign
countries, including Australia, France and England. "I was overwhelmed by
the number of fans who stood in line to meet with us personally, and get
autographs and photos," says Karol Ann. "We heard so many encouraging
comments about the music that we're making - and some really personal
stories from fans about how our music has affected them. Biz agrees that the
fans were amazing. "We signed in three other booths as well," she says.
"The Mary Kay (their lip gloss is fabulous); Y'all Magazine (they gave us
some cool t-shirts), and Indie Islands (they were our neighbors all week)
booths."
On Friday night, LANTANA wrapped up the week as they made their festival
performance debut when they rocked the Hard Rock Café stage during the
Afterhours Kick Off Concert Series. The group fired up the crowd with songs
from their BGM Records' debut, UNBRIDLED. "We even had fireworks (from LP
Field) go off during our closing number," laughs Dalene. "It was an
incredible night ... an incredible week for that matter. We can't wait 'til
next year!"
Fans can get in touch with Lantana via Lantana's Website , Lantana's
MySpace or the newly-launched fan club site Fan Club Site

Country Weekly Spends A Day On The Ranch With Todd Fritsch
***Exclusive Interview In July 2 Issue, On Stands NOW
Nashville, TN (June 18, 2007) - Country Weekly recently spent a day with
Todd Fritsch at his home in Willow Springs, Texas. The rising star proudly
showed off The Fritsch Cattle Company ranch, where he grew up and learned to
rope, ride - and work hard.
Todd credits those early days on the ranch with the strict, waste-no-time
approach he takes in his musical career. Fans can learn about Todd - and his
family's close relationship and shared drive - in this three-page spread,
photographed by Marc Morrison. The layout includes seven photos of Todd,
his family, favorite horse and his working dogs, Rip, Rudy and Ranger.
Fritsch won't be riding to town to pick up his copy of Country Weekly; he's
currently on the road supporting his new CD, SAWDUST
(Diamond Music Group/Spinville). This article gives the young Texan more
national exposure and follows recent appearances at CMA Music Festival 2007
and on GAC Nights last week.
