Colby Dee releases Christmas Time To Me


Colby Dee releases Christmas To Me today (Nov 24th) to iTunes. If you have never heard of her then I encourage you to check out the song & her other music also available through iTunes. I have been following her career for a couple of years now & had the opportunity to see her sing live & meet her while I was in Nashville this past June and let me tell you you won't find a sweeter or more down to earth person than Colby. She genuinely cares about the people who support her & will take time to talk with fans and take pictures with everyone she meets. In my opinion she has one of the best voices of anyone I have heard and I look forward to seeing her career grow & supporting her every step of the way. I'm definitely blessed to know such a sweet & talented person.

Concert Review: WQBE Hunt For Bucks Party with Austin Webb


First of all let me say a huge THANK YOU to Austin Webb as well as his manager Jeff for getting me into the concert. I truly appreciate the effort and the friendliness that you show your fans. Other artists should definitely take notes from you on how to treat their fans more like friends than fans. You go above and beyond and it certainly is not unnoticed so thank you again Austin. :)

Everyone at the event got to enjoy some delicious BBQ and had the chance at winning gift certificates, money, and an Austin Webb  t-shirt and a few lucky fans even won a gift bag with a harmonica in it (I wish that was me lol) After eating and some of the prizes were given away, Austin and his guitar player Josh Pantana came out onstage and performed acoustic which was fantastic! That is true talent when it's just you singing with 2 acoustic guitars. He told stories and joked around between songs which I enjoyed. I always enjoy when artists let loose and everything isn't planned out. He sang 2 of the 3 songs he has released to country radio, It's All Good, Slip On By and Raise 'Em Up as well as one of my personal favorites Getting Even, If You See Her, Don't Give Me No Lip which is always a fun crowd participation song. One of the last songs he sang is his soon to be released new single All Country On You written by Josh Kear, Chris Tompkins and Mark Irwin. It is being released to iTunes and country radio on January 5th, 2015 so be sure and call your local country radio stations and bug them to play it. I know I will be calling WQBE like crazy to play it. :)

After Austin sang he signed autographs and took pictures with everyone that was in attendance. He takes time to talk with each person and takes selfies with whoever wants one which I think makes him even more likable. I love how appreciative he is for his fans because he knows without them he wouldn't have a career. I hope that never changes. We were chatting and I said I liked his bracelet and he said he got it in Arizona and asked if i had been there and I said no and the next thing I know he is taking it off and gave it to me. I also got to meet him guitar player, Josh Pantana who was a super nice and friendly guy.

I don't know about Austin but I consider him to be more of a friend of his than just a fan. I believe in him and his music and he will always have my support. Keep up with everything Austin Webb on his Official WebsiteTwitterFacebookInstagram.

Here are a few pictures from the show. If you have the chance to go to see Austin live and/or meet him DO NOT pass it up.

Songstress Caitlyn Smith releases new EP, Everything To You


Chances are you have heard of Caitlyn Smith and just didn't realize it. The country artist has been a welcome addition to the country music scene with her powerhouse vocals and fresh songwriting. Caitlyn's repertoire includes a long list of songs she has penned for her peers, which include multi-platinum artist Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts and Lady Antebellum. In the past year alone, Caitlyn has toured alongside iconic artists like Sheryl Crow and Willie Nelson. She co-wrote every song on her new project, Everything To You, including the popular hit "Wasting All These Tears". (First single of Cassadee Pope)

With a voice that channels the haunting, ethereal tone of Emmylou Harris as much as the ceiling-free range of Carrie Underwood, it's hard to believe Caitlyn Smith has spent more of her Nashville days behind the scenes. Now, Smith is stepping into the spotlight with her highly autobiographical release, Everything To You, a seven-track project full of "intoxicating" ballads and "feel-good" anthems.

From the first "vibrant, energetic" track, "Fever" to Smith "igniting a flame" with "Novocaine" all the way to the show-stopper final track "All My Lovers" it's a rare feat to have every song on a project be just as attention-grabbing as the next - but Everything To You does just that.

You can purchase the EP on iTunes HERE.. Keep up with Caitlyn on FacebookTwitter and Instagram.

Amber Hayes releases new EP, Running Out Of Memories


I first discovered Amber Hayes' music through Twitter several years ago and from the first time I heard her voice I was a fan. I love that her voice is more on the traditional side which I think country music needs more of amid all the bro-country that is all over country radio. I had the privilege of meeting Amber in Nashville during the CMA Music Festival in June and I can say first hand that she is the sweetest & friendliest person that you will ever meet.

Her previously released EP's "C'Mon" and "Any Day Is A Good Day" are available on iTunes as well as her brand new EP "Running Out Of Memories" which was released today (Nov 4th). You can keep up with Amber on her Official WebsiteTwitter,Facebook, & Instagram.
