Tracy Lawrence To Headline Keith Edmonds Foundation Benefit

Southern Stars and Mason Jars is coming to Wilson County!  Headlining the show is award-winning country music superstar Tracy Lawrence.  Lawrence, along with three of Nashville’s top songwriters, Casey Beathard, Rick Huckaby and Mark Nessler, will take the stage at Sammy B’s 705 Cadet Ct, Lebanon, TN 37087 on Thursday, November 2, for a lively evening of musical entertainment.  It all benefits the Keith Edmonds Foundation, a local non-profit that works to assist and empower victims of child abuse.

Lawrence, a Wilson County resident, is well known for such hits as “Time Marches On”, “Sticks and Stones”, “Paint Me a Birmingham,” and “If the World Had a Front Porch”. His studio albums have accounted for more than 40 singles on the Billboard country music charts, with eight reaching number one.

Beathard has penned hits for many of Nashville’s best, including Trace Atkins, Gary Allan, Tracy Byrd, and Billy Currington. He was named BMI Country Songwriter of the Year in 2004 and 2008. He was honored by BMI as co-writer of Lawrence’s number one single “Find Out Who Your Friends Are”. Other hits to his credit include Eric Church’s “Like a Wrecking Ball”, “The Outsiders” and “Like Jesus Does”.

Nesler’s first number one hit “Just to See You Smile” recorded by Tim McGraw, spent six weeks in the number one spot on Billboard’s country music charts. Other favorites include “Living and Living Well” (George Strait), and” You Look Good in My Shirt” (Keith Urban).

Nashville singer, songwriter and guitar player Rick “Huck” Huckabee is credited with a sound like no other in country music today. The accomplished acoustic guitarist has traveled with Tracy Lawrence, as well as Tanya Tucker, Joe Diffie and Mark Chestnut performing and playing guitar.   He co-wrote Thomas Rhett’s first hit single “Beer with Jesus”.

“This is a rare opportunity to bring the type of event to Wilson County that you would typically have to go to Nashville to experience”, said Keith Edmonds, founder of The Keith Edmonds Foundation, “We appreciate Tracy and his talented friends’ willingness to donate their time and talent to help us in our work with victims of child abuse.”

Tickets for Southern Stars and Mason Jars are $125 and include admission to the show, dinner catered by Sammy B’s Restaurant and valet parking.  A cash bar will be available. Doors open at 6:00 pm, dinner at 6:30 pm and show begins at 7:00 pm.

Tracy Lawrence To Release GOOD OLE DAYS, Today’s Hitmakers Showcased On New Album

Tracy Lawrence has set November 10, 2017 as the release date for one of the most ambitious and significant albums of his career. GOOD OLE DAYS celebrates the country legend’s indelible mark on country traditionalism with an album of 11 duets pairing a selection of his most iconic hits with some of Country and Rock’s contemporary superstars and newcomers.  See some behind the scenes footage HERE.

“There’s such a hunger out there for the music from my era – I hear that from so many people, so I felt like this was a good time to kind of blend the old and the new,” said Tracy. “My first commitment was from my buddy Tim McGraw, who chose to sing ‘Time Marches On,’ on the new record.”

The collaborative collection also includes guest appearances by Jason Aldean, Big & Rich, Luke Bryan, Luke Combs, Easton Corbin, Dustin Lynch, Tim McGraw, Justin Moore, Kellie Pickler and Chris Young. 3 Doors Down leader Brad Arnold makes his Country music debut on the title track “Good Ole Days,” which is the second of the two original songs.

When asked about which of his songs is his all-time favorite, Tracy admits that choosing one is a lot like trying to single out a favorite child, it’s just not something that’s easy to do.

However, he does mention that “Sticks and Stones” comes to mind. “I’ve got favorite songs for different reasons, but none of them would have happened without the first one, so “Sticks and Stones” is very special.”

The collection in its entirety is equally special, and Lawrence is humbled by the excitement that his peers brought to the studio with their eagerness to keep each track as pure as the day it was first recorded, with only minor exceptions and a few added new nuances.  Lawrence is excited to offer the first instant grat track “Can’t Break It to My Heart,” the duet with country superstar Jason Aldean, as part of the album preorder which is available today HERE.

Craig Morgan lends his vocals and heartfelt raw emotion on “Finally Home,” one of the two new tracks and an ode to U.S. military members celebrating their enduring service to our country. Tracy and Craig debuted the song together in a performance on the hallowed stage of The Grand Ole Opry® on August 15.

A portion of the proceeds from “Finally Home” will be donated to Operation FINALLY HOME, a national, non-profit organization providing mortgage-free, custom-built homes to wounded, ill and injured veterans or widows of the fallen, thanks to their unique network of experienced builders, suppliers, and supporters dedicated to honoring heroes with homes.

Whether it is celebrating his iconic hits with fresh new tracks or writing material for his next studio record, Lawrence knows if he stopped today he’d already have cemented his place in the pantheon of country-music greats.

“To realize that I’m older now and being looked at by younger kids in the same light as I looked at guys like Strait and Haggard, it’s very flattering,” he notes. “To know that I’ve made music that’s had that kind of impact on people, well, it’s pretty cool.”
