St. Jude patients Londyn and Addi got an experience they won’t soon forget this weekend while in Las Vegas for the ACM Awards. Artists in town for the awards show including Florida Georgia Line, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Lauren Alaina, Luke Bryan, and Reba McEntire stopped by to say hello and spend time with the St. Jude patients. Londyn taught ACM Entertainer of the year, Keith Urban and ACM Male vocalist of the year, Thomas Rhett how to play her favorite game of rock, paper, scissors. She also talked with the stars asking Jake Owen, “If you could have a superpower, what would it be?” Jake told Londyn that he’d want to make everyone feel really good and healthy all of the time. Londyn is 6 years old and fighting Neuroblastoma at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

ACM new Female Vocalist of the year, Ashley McBryde and 5 year old Addi sang a song together from the “The Little Mermaid” and Kix Brooks from Brooks & Dunn shared his cowboy hat with her during their visit.

The country music community has raised more than $800 million for St. Jude since the Country Cares for St. Jude kids program was founded 30 years ago.  Families at St. Jude never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

Ben Folds & Nashville Ballet Reunite In April

By on March 12, 2019 in In The Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – From alt-rock to orchestra, Ben Folds’ musical career is nothing short of impressive making Nashville Ballet pleased to join him back on stage with the triumphant homecoming of Artistic Director Paul Vasterling’s The Ben Folds Project: Concerto at TPAC’s Jackson Hall, April 26-28.

Folds will join Nashville Ballet’s company on stage for three performances in which Vasterling’s masterful choreography is set to a 21-minute, three-movement piano concerto composed by Folds and commissioned by Nashville Ballet. Since premiering in 2014, Nashville Ballet has taken The Ben Folds Project to Washington, D.C. for the company’s Kennedy Center debut in 2017 and to the Chautauqua Institution in 2018; Folds has performed the concerto numerous times with major symphony orchestras across the country. This performance will mark the first time Nashville Ballet and Folds reunite to bring the unique work back to Music City.

Folds joins Nashville Ballet in April as part of the organization’s Modern Masters series highlighting the evolution and scope of ballet. The works selected for this series illustrate the ways in which the artform has transformed in the 20th and 21st centuries by showcasing works from neoclassical and contemporary choreographers that have helped to challenge and expand ballet’s boundaries through big ideas and intriguing collaborations. The Ben Folds Project is accompanied by three additional masterworks – Duo Concertant, The Lottery and Bloom.

In Duo Concertant, George Balanchine celebrates the Stravinsky piece to which the work is set in a surprising way. In the first movement, the dancers join the musicians simply to listen. As the next three movements are played, an animated dance ensues followed by the final movement in which the stage is darkened and the couple dance in individual circles of light resulting in a mesmerizing finale.

Well-received upon its debut during Paul Vasterling’s 20th Anniversary Gala Performance in December, the central pas of Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s Bloom returns to captivate yet again. The work, set on Ballet Manila, was Lopez Ochoa’s first for an Asian dance company. As a result, Lopez Ochoa uses movements and gestures reflective of Asian culture within the choreography. Inspired by a Balinese ritual, Bloom depicts a floral offering in which the male dancer represents gratitude and the female dancer represents the flower.

Val Caniparoli’s The Lottery makes its Nashville premiere during the program. Based on the short story by Shirley Jackson, Caniparoli’s choreography tells the thrilling tale of a dystopian society on the day of its annual lottery. Unfortunately, this is one lottery no one wants to win – the drawing will determine one townsperson to stone to death as a sacrifice. Captivated audiences wait on edge as the story unfolds leading to an actual lottery live on stage to determine the ballet’s final soloist. This theatrical retelling of a literary great challenges artists and excites viewers in a performance that will never be the same twice.

Tickets to see Ben Folds with Nashville Ballet are on sale now and can be purchased at the TPAC box office in downtown Nashville, by phone at (615) 782-4040 or at www.nashvilleballet.com. Susan Underwood Physical Therapy is the presenting sponsor for this production. Hotel Indigo is a supporting sponsor and the Nashville Scene is a media sponsor.

The Lottery is based on Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery,” and is presented by special arrangement with the children of Shirley Jackson and literary media.

About Nashville Ballet
Nashville Ballet is the largest professional ballet company in Tennessee. Nashville Ballet presents a varied repertoire of classical ballet and contemporary works by noted choreographers, including original works by Artistic Director Paul Vasterling. Nashville Ballet and the second company, NB2 (a pre-professional training company), provide more than 55,000 arts experiences to adults and children annually through season performances and its Community Engagement programming. Curriculum-based Community Engagement programs bring dance education to community centers, colleges, public libraries and public elementary, middle and high schools across the state. School of Nashville Ballet brings world-class dance instruction to students age 2 to 70.

Nashville Ballet receives public funding from Metro Arts, Tennessee Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts. Contributions from local, regional and national institutional funders and community partners, as well as hundreds of generous individuals, provide ongoing support of Nashville Ballet’s mission-critical programs.

NASHVILLE,Tenn. – (March 5, 2019) – Kelsea Ballerini was surprised on Tuesday night’s show by Opry group Little Big Town with an invitation to become an official Grand Ole Opry member. After Ballerini performed her segment, Little Big Town took the stage to close out the show, inviting Ballerini back to perform the group’s hit “Girl Crush” with them. As the song concluded, the band changed its final lyrics to “Kelsea Ballerini, do you wanna join the Opry?”

“Yes,” Ballerini exclaimed, “I’m gonna pass out I think!” Collecting her thoughts, Ballerini recalled having visited the Opry at age 13 with her mother and knowing then that she wanted to support the Opry, even if only as a fan. “To be on this stage is the greatest gift in the world,” she said. “This is the home of country music, and I get to be a part of it.”

“For the rest of your life,” Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild added.

Ballerini’s formal Opry induction is set for Tuesday, April 16.

“We are thrilled at the thought of Kelsea Ballerini joining the Opry family,” said Opry General Manager Sally Williams. “So many of us at the Opry have been fans of her recordings, her songwriting, and her live performances since she played the Opry for the very first time. Having grown to know her personally in the years since, we love and respect her just as much as a person as an artist. We look so forward to her Opry induction in April and to all the years of great music we’ll share.”

By on March 5, 2019 in In The Press

Photo Credit: Robby Klein

NASHVILLE, TENN. (March 5, 2019) — Emerging Big Loud Records/Tree Vibez Music artist HARDY is now rocking the Country airwaves, with his hard-charging debut single “Rednecker” entering radio playlists nationwide as the #3 most-added song of the week, with 56 stations on board.

Written by the Mississippi native and hit-making tunesmith with Andy Albert and Jordan Schmidt, the loud-and-proud “Rednecker” features a rowdy dose of small-town swagger and tons of heavy-hitting wordplay, marking the first look at a rebel on the rise who was just named one of Rolling Stone’s New Country Artists You Need to Know.

Download and stream HARDY’s hard-rocking “Rednecker” here.

Already an in-demand songwriter, HARDY has scored two #1 smashes with Morgan Wallen’s “Up Down” (featuring Florida Georgia Line) and FGL’s “Simple,” and has so far released two EPs of his own – 2018’s THIS OLE BOY and 2019’s WHERE TO FIND ME – and other charting hits like Chris Lane’s “I Don’t Know About You,” and Seth Ennis’ “Call Your Mama.”

The singer-songwriter is currently on the road with Morgan Wallen’s IF I KNOW ME TOUR, which has been drawing packed crowds nationwide with advance sellouts in major cities from coast-to-coast. The IF I KNOW ME TOUR is set to wrap March 30 in Salt Lake City, UT.

This summer, HARDY will join multi-platinum duo Florida Georgia Line on select dates of their 2019 CAN’T SAY I AIN’T COUNTRY TOUR kicking off June 13 in Rogers, AR.

For more information on HARDY and upcoming tour dates, visit http://hardyofficial.com and follow him on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

ABOUT HARDY:
A native of Philadelphia – (the one in Mississippi, not the City of Brotherly Love) – Big Loud Records/Tree Vibez Music Country artist HARDY first arrived in Nashville in 2010 and has since established himself as one of the most exciting new songwriters on Music Row. Emerging in 2018 with the PLATINUM-certified #1 “Up Down” (performed by Morgan Wallen feat. Florida Georgia Line) and PLATINUM-certified, #1 hit “Simple” (Florida Georgia Line), his knack for unforgettable grooves and unique turns of phrase have made him an in-demand collaborator, with new school talents like Chris Lane, Seth Ennis, Tyler Farr, Walker McGuire and more lining up to cut his tracks. HARDY made his debut as a solo artist, releasing two four-song EPs of Country swagger and rock attitude, THIS OLE BOY (October 2018) and WHERE TO FIND ME (January 2019). Putting his artistic identity on display, HARDY’s voice is gritty in “4×4,” soulful in the background vocals of “This Ole Boy,” resigned in “Signed, Sober You” and edgy in the stack of harmonies in first single “Rednecker.” HARDY is introducing his fresh Country sound to fans for the first time as part of Wallen’s IF I KNOW ME TOUR on the road now, and will join multi-platinum duo Florida Georgia Line for their CAN’T SAY I AIN’T COUNTRY TOUR this summer.

Jessie James Decker Flaunts Toned Figure Since Losing 25 Lbs After Baby No. 3

By on March 5, 2019 in In The Press

The weather can’t keep Jessie James Decker down! She recently hit the beach for a photo shoot with South Beach Diet and was all smiles as she revealed her 25 pound weight loss after baby number 3. The star sported a pair of short denim shorts and a long-sleeved crop top from her Kittenish line, showing off her toned figure.

“Losing weight after the third baby, it felt very different to me than the first and second. With the first one, I didn’t know what I was doing at all,” said Decker. “This time, I knew exactly what to do, and that was South Beach Diet. I never feel deprived on this program and I know I’m fueling my body with tons of good protein and veggies, which has always been key for me. Thanks to South Beach, I’ve lost 25 pounds, and I’m excited. I’ve regained my confidence and have the energy I need to maintain this crazy life of mine!”

Decker will hit the road in April on her upcoming spring tour. She is adamant about staying healthy and fit saying, “South Beach is perfect while I’m touring because I’m constantly on the go. There are meet and greets, rehearsals, driving all night on the bus, waking up in a new city everyday… It’s really tempting to want to pull through a drive-thru, and that’s what makes South Beach so easy. When we booked the tour, I immediately thought ‘okay, food, what am I going to do?’ I always like to think about and I had the comfort of knowing I have South Beach. I can bring it with me on the bus and I can pack bars and shakes in my bag. I’ll be totally fine and won’t get off track.”

Tour dates are listed at www.jessiejamesdecker.com/tour.

Jessie has recently been posting photos on her Instagram from her vacation with Eric and friends in Mexico. “The kids are with my mom and dad and we are taking this vacation that I’ve been working so hard for. I finally feel good. I feel like I’m ready to get back on my bikini and feel confident amongst all of our friends and I’m excited. There’ll be lots of chips and salsa and guacamole. Chips and salsa is my weakness. But I will do my very best to not over indulge and try to pace myself!”

“I feel really good where I’m at.  My goal was to be able to fit into my clothes before I had the baby. I’m now at 115 and that was my goal.  I weighed 115 on my wedding day, so I just wanted to be back where I was and I’m not going to obsess over it, but I’m just gonna maintain where I’m at and just do the best that I can.”

“I’ve tried other diets in the past, and none of them have made me feel as good, or have been as effective, as South Beach. I’ve even got my mom, my best friend and grandma on it. This is a program I truly believe in.”

ABOUT SOUTH BEACH
South Beach Diet offers a keto-friendly, high-protein, low-carb, low-sugar approach that’s very on trend. Customers can expect to lose up to 9 pounds and 3 inches overall in their first two weeks. The plan offers a safe, effective method of weight loss through an enhanced three-phased low-carb approach designed to burn fat, transform metabolism and boost energy. www.southbeachdiet.com

MAGGIE ROSE JOINS KELLY CLARKSON’S MEANING OF LIFE TOUR FOR EAST COAST DATES KICKING OFF THIS WEEKEND

“…2018’s most transformed artist, fully embracing
the soulful side of her talent.” – Rolling Stone

“…louder, looser, more spontaneous…her voice,
which has always threatened to incinerate the eyebrows of anyone
sitting in the front row.” – The Washington Post

Named in USA Today’s list of “…performers who’ll go above and beyond, define a moment…”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – March 5th, 2019  – Powerhouse vocalist and songwriter Maggie Rose is joining Kelly Clarkson’s Meaning Of Life Tour for a run of East Coast dates, kicking off at PPL Center in Allentown, PA this weekend (3/9) and then on to Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT for two nights (3/14 & 3/15). Named by USA Today as a “Can’t Miss” and in their list of “…performers who’ll go above and beyond, define a moment..,” Rose continues to capture the audience with her remarkable stage presence and unparalleled voice. Rolling Stone called her “…2018’s most transformed artist, fully embracing the soulful side of her talent…” and The Washington Post lauded her style as, “…louder, looser, more spontaneous…her voice, which has always threatened to incinerate the eyebrows of anyone sitting in the front row.” Rose is touring in support of her critically-acclaimed album Change The Whole Thing, which was named one of Rolling Stone’s Best Albums of 2018.
