Wow!!! What a week last week. Despite having our Kick-Off party bumbed by ABC Television shooting a video (which we were at) and the CMA shutting down out autograph table. We still had an unbelievable week. We met lots of great artists, saw some of our old friends, and made some new ones.
We arrived on Wednesday afternoon and rushed to get everything ready for opening on Thursday. Wednesday afternoon we met with Royalty Records from Canada and met one of their artists who we have been promoting, Craig Moritz. Wednesday night we went to the ABC video taping and then we hung out with our good friend Shy Blakeman at Losers in Nashville. There we ran into the Muzik Mafia’s Shannon Lawson.
We got down to Riverfront Park first thing Thusday morning. We had a huge line up of artists for signing autographs and we were ready for them. First up was our friends we met last December in Vegas, Toby Keith’s newly signed band, Trailer Choir. We love these guys and so will you. Not only are they one of the coolest bands out there, they really love their fans. Nikki Lee came by to sign autographs before her performance at Fuel. Our local country star, Amber Leigh was up next and she brought most of her band with her. We’ll have pictures with the Amber Leigh Band Gnome up here pretty soon. I went over to Fuel to catch Nikki’s performance and met singer/songwriter Corinne Chapman. Corinne is both beautiful and talented. She’s an excellent songwriter and an incredible singer. Corinne is now officially a HillBilly Hottie. Artists signings continued with Kristen Clark, Jorrin Tyler, Shelby Horner, and Cutter Lee. Then the CMA shut us down. We had to send Ridge Runner, Indian Rodeo, Ray Scott and Mark Chesnutt home. Mark Chesnutt was very cool about it and next year when we get out autograph table approved, we’ll have Mark back out. I spent the rest of the day cancelling the artists I had booked.
Thursday night was a whirlwind tour of downtown. I met Jewel Hanson, the writer of Trailer Choir’s new single, “Off the HillBilly Hook”, which is available on iTunes now.
