Programmer's Corner

The Holidays are so much fun, just the energy and joy that emotes from the children is electric.  For me its always fun to see which artist will have new Christmas music and what they choose to do.

These next 3 videos are all included in the New Additions tab above so check them out...

Remember Sherrie Austin?  She had a few hits on Country Radio in the late 90’s and early 2000.  She is probably best known as the cute little Australian girl who played Pippa McKenna on The Facts of Life in the late 1980s.  She has been in Nashville concentrating on her song writing and just made this video for Naughty or Nice.

The YouTube, Facebook and Twitter sensation Payton Rae didn’t disappoint with her Christmas video “Christmas Time with You”.  It doesn’t matter what she sings, you can always see and feel her love for her craft.

Joey + Rory never disappoint with the fun factor in their music, their new Christmas video “Let It Snow (Somewhere Else)” is a whole lot of fun. 

Check them all out above,

I’m sitting in my office working on the music that will be played in the upcoming days and I have The Country Network on in my office.  The video from a new artist named Teea Goans called “Letter From God” just came on and it reminds me just why I love my job!  I have programmed radio stations my entire career but never had the freedom like I do at The Country Network. To take music from unknown musicians like Teea Goans, Eric Lee Beddingfeild, Payton Rae and all the other Breaking Out artist’s and combine them with the best the major labels have to offer is truly exciting to me.  I realize I’m not finding the cure to cancer or saving starving babies but it is pretty cool to know we are helping someone achieve a dream!

In the good news department, if The Country Network is not on TV in your area you can now get us through Roku.  By a Roku box at your local electronics retailer like Best Buy…hook it up to the TV and internet and it’s country videos 24/7…The Country Network style!!

Check out the videos at the top of the page and see what I am excited about these days…

As an artist you can create a profile and share your music with the community, update your fans, list your tour schedule and more and (wait for it…wait for it)…IT’S FREE!  That’s right, The Country Network wants you to have a place to display you music with like minded people…our audience and soon to be yours.  Go check out marysarahmusic, paytonraemusic or the Moonshine Bandits profiles and get started setting yours up, make sure you request me as a friend!

I love my job!  I get to listen to new music everyday and there is a lot of new music out there right now that is really good!  Not only are the major labels in Nashville turning out some great stuff but there is a wealth of new and undiscovered talent out there on YouTube, reverbnation.com and now inside tcncountry.com.

You have all met Amber Leigh, seen her video “I’m Not That Girl” on The Country Network, there is no other video network giving this independent artist any support.  Last week we featured a new artist named Payton Rae with a great response to her first video “Not Your Cinderella”, Payton was someone I first saw on YouTube and became very interested in her music and then was contacted about playing her new video and jumped at the chance.  At the same time I started playing Payton Rae I added new artist Eric Lee Beddingfield and his video “The Gospel According to Jones" which has a cameo appearance of George Jones.  I am going to let you in on a little secret that I found…Mary Sarah!  That’s all I am going say and one day you will write me and thank me!   Artist’s like these are the ones that we look for to feature in our “Breaking Out” programming on The Country Network (Monday nights @ 7pm), a show dedicated to this new and undiscovered group of artist’s that are not signed to major labels and in many cases no label at all.

On this page I have a video player and one of the channels is dedicated to Breaking Out videos, check it out.  I update the videos all the time with cool stuff I add to the Network.  This week I put the new video from Lucy Angel for their new single Serious in the player, this upbeat fun song was written by Anthony Smith, Chris Wallin and David Lee Murphy and it left me dreaming about turquoise guitars, hot blondes and searching eBay for and old Ford T-Bird convertible!

If you know any artist’s that have high quality videos have them contact me at this page, it can’t be something that was shot with a flip camera setting on a railroad track and must be a quality song and performance…no William Hung stuff.

Thanks for your support of The Country Network
