Programmer's Corner

We're getting this week started right up in here!  The beautiful and talented Shawna Russell is hosting the next 2 weeks of Breaking Out and does a great job.

Shawna first sang in public at age 7. At 13, she and her dad, Keith, formed a country band that played for clubs and Elks Lodges on weekends. At 17, she joined her Uncle Tim’s band, which was already a successful regional band on the “A” club circuit across the Southwest. She honed her remarkable vocal chops and added acoustic rhythm, electric slide, and lead guitar to her arsenal while touring across much of the U.S., performing 2-6 nights a week at many of America’s top live music clubs, including The Grizzly Rose; Billy Bob’s; and the Wildhorse Saloon. She spent three years fronting and playing guitar in fellow Oklahoman, Ty England’s band, which included a USO Tour of Korea in 2005.

Live from the Ledge at The Hard Rock Cafe, Nashville...

Last month TCN's Live From The Ledge guest artist was the amazingly talented Restless Heart.  They did all their hits acoustic and it was awesome!!!

If you are anywhere near Nashville on December 15th you need to get over to the HRC...This month Phil Vassar will be in th house playing his hits and stuff from his new Christmas CD "Noel".  It is sure to be a fun night, $5 dollars gets you in the door. 

Here's a video of Phil taliking about the "Noel" project.

I am not sure who said “the only thing consistent is change” but it is true and everyday we go through change, some change we like some we don’t. 

I have been busy with the music library and making some changes based on the feedback you’ve given me over the last 2 months. 

The 3 biggest changes are with the music itself...

I’ve added another category for new music that will help us introduce you to new music faster. 

 I expanded the Breaking Out category to help expose the new and undiscovered acts like Amber Leigh, Marlee Scott, River City Gang and many more. 

 The third change is not about new music, it’s about the gold, some of your older favorites that don’t classify as a Legend quite yet.  I created a new category expanding the gold library by almost 100 songs!

Here the new videos added into rotation this week

Toby Keith - Made in America

Straight ahead Red, White and Blue Toby Keith!  You have to admire an artist that does as much for the men and women serving our country as Toby.

Phil Vassar - Let's Get Together

This is what made Phil famous as a songwriter and singer…fun, uptempo summer songs!  The video is great too.

JT Hodges - Hunt You Down      

A first time release for this new act on Toby’s label, this song was co-written by Randy Montana.

Donny & Marie Osmond - The Good Life

Yep!  The world famous brother and sister are moving beyond their successful show in Las Vegas…this song was written by a new artist Eric Paslay on the EMI Nashville label (the new home of Alan Jackson & Eric Church).

These adds are new undiscovered acts I hope you like…
