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

NASHVILLE, TN. — This week, Luke Combs becomes the second artist ever to top all five Billboard Country charts: Top Country Albums, Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, Country Streaming Songs and Country Digital Song Sales (all dated March 9).

The success comes on the heels of Combs’ latest single, “Beautiful Crazy,” which remains No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay, Hot Country Songs, Country Streaming Songs and Country Digital Song Sales charts for the second straight week. This is his fastest-rising single to date (16 weeks) and makes Combs the first artist ever to send his first five singles to the top of Billboard’s Country Airplay chart.  “Beautiful Crazy” is also the first country single shipped to radio already platinum-certified since Taylor Swift’s “Red” in 2013 and has more than 270 million on-demand streams. In celebration of these milestones, Combs recently released an acoustic version of the song. Listen/share HERE.

The achievements continue an already monumental year for the breakthrough singer, songwriter and performer, who was recently nominated for two 2019 ACM Awards (Male Artist of the Year and New Male Artist of the Year), won New Artist of the Year at “The 52nd Annual CMA Awards,” was nominated for Best New Artist at the 61st GRAMMY Awards and who recently won a CMA Triple Play Award for writing three No. 1 songs in a 12-month period.

Combs’ platinum-certified debut album, This One’s For You (River House Artists/Columbia Nashville), has spent a total of 27 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, including 16 weeks in 2018—making it the highest selling country album last year with 1.1 million equivalent album units sold and the only country album to surpass 1 million album units.

Clint Black & Trace Atkins Hit The Road Together

By on March 4, 2019 in In The Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Two country music icons will make a triumphant return to the stage together as part of the Hits. Hats. History. Tour. Pre-sale tickets go on sale March 5, with all remaining tickets going on sale March 8 at 10 a.m. (local time).

The Hits. Hats. History. Tour kicks off May 2 in Charlotte, North Carolina and travels to nine different cities through August 9, with additional dates announced in the coming weeks. This summer tour will get that much hotter via the addition of a series of special guest artists such as Terri Clark, John Berry and Craig Campbell.

 

“It’s been a few years since Clint and I shared the stage,” explains Trace Adkins, a three-time GRAMMY nominated BBR recording artist. “Since then, we have both been fortunate to have added a few more hits, and hats to our collection. Looking forward to this!”

 

“Trace and I toured together back in the 90s and I’m really looking forward to sharing the stage with him again!” said Black, a GRAMMY award winner and one of the most successful singer/songwriters of the modern era.  “He’s a lot of fun and a real pro.”

 

In addition to the Hits. Hats. History. Tour, Black will launch his “Still Killin’ Time 30th Anniversary Tour” in March to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of his triple platinum, seminal album, Killin’ Time.  To this day, it is recognized as one of country music’s most authoritative recordings, it’s influence still heard on many of the recordings that have followed.

 

Adkins is also on the road this summer as part of his current Don’t Stop Tour 2019. Currently, the “You’re Gonna Miss This” hit-maker is out with his “Hillbilly Bone” buddy Blake Shelton as part of his Friends & Heroes 2019 Tour, which concludes March 23 in New York. And while the Grand Ole Opry member certainly has much on his plate as of late, he is still set to lend his voice to the character of Robert in the forthcoming “Dally & Spanky,” due out later in 2019.

 

HITS. HATS .HISTORY. TOUR

The “Hitsteria Tour” kicked off to packed audiences in Florida earlier this month, full list of tour dates below.

2019 marks 20 years since the release of Vassar’s debut single “Carlene,” which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles Chart and No. 45 on Billboard Hot 100.

The weekly series airs on Sundays at midnight ET on Michigan’s WKAR-HD with additional programming scheduled to rollout over the coming months. As Vassar interacts with fellow artists, songwriters, musicians and entertainers over a mix of wine, beer and cocktails, viewers will enjoy the camaraderie in each episode filled with intimate conversations and incredible musical collaborations.

About Jon Langston

Loganville, GA native, singer-songwriter Jon Langston grew up on music like his heroes Alan Jackson and the Eagles. And once multiple concussions ended his Division I football career, he worked to develop his own style and sound while drawing from that variety of influences. In 2013 with the release of his first song, “Forever Girl,” Jon’s live shows began to grow, and he found himself opening for Chase Rice at Georgia’s Kennesaw State University.  It was his first-ever full band show, and when the crowd sang “Forever Girl” along with him, Jon knew he wanted to pursue a career in music. Since then, the now 27-year-old Music City resident has not only signed a publishing deal with Sony ATV and is managed by KP Entertainment, but has fostered his own voice in country music and landed a record deal with Universal Music Group Nashville. The Georgia native is the first artist under Luke Bryan’s new label, 32 Bridge Entertainment, and will be worked in conjunction with EMI Records Nashville. He recently released his major label debut single “When It Comes To Loving You” which landed in the Top 5 of the all-genre iTunes Chart and has accumulated over 9 million streams.
