Charlie Daniels’ Christmas For Kids is SOLD OUT

Posted by TawnyTucker on November 8th, 2011

Charlie Daniels will offer his time and talents to host and headline Charlie Daniels & Friends concert on Monday, November 21st at the Ryman Auditorium, beginning at 7:00 PM. Charlie Daniels and friends Phil Vassar, Joe Nichols, Colt Ford, and Sawyer Brown will perform at the charity event that raises money for the Christmas 4 Kids organization (a division of Christmas For Kids, Inc).

“You think about making a kid smile when there is very little to smile about in their life. That’s what Christmas 4 Kids is all about, ” says Charlie Daniels.

“The 10th Anniversary of the Charlie Daniels and Friends Concert, has become a favorite holiday event in Nashville,” says Christmas For Kids President Debbie Lambserson. “With the support and dedication of Charlie Daniels, this event get’s better with time!!! I can’t wait for the next 10 years.”

Christmas 4 Kids is a not-for-profit organization that has been in existence for over 25 years providing many children, each year, with their very own shopping spree. The funds generated by the concert, and the Tour Bus Show/Artist Meet and Greet event are used to give children from 30 different schools, a total of more than 400 children, a day-long shopping excursion. The special day consists of a chauffeured trip from their school aboard an entertainer’s luxury tour bus, lunch, and a party hosted by Santa and Mrs. Claus at College Heights Baptist Church, and finally a trip to the Hendersonville, Tennessee, Walmart where they receive $150.00 to spend on anything they want and also receive a brand new winter coat.

The Annual Tour Bus Show/Artist Meet and Greet event will take place on Monday, December 12th in Hendersonville, TN. The shopping excursion takes place on Tuesday, December 13th. For more information on how you can volunteer to help chaperone one of these special children, visit www.Christmas4kids.org.

All proceeds from the Tour Bus Show/Artist Meet and Greet and the Charlie Daniels & Friends concert (sponsored in part by 95.5 WSM, Bob Parks Realty (Sumner County office), Jayson Promotions, Robo-Pong, and coach manufacturer, Prevost Car, Inc.) — November 21st — will be donated toward the children’s Christmas Shopping/Bus Excursion which is scheduled to take place December 13th.

Vince Gill, Trace Adkins, Dierks Bentley and More to Share Reflections From The Circle

Posted by Country Girl on October 29th, 2011

Country music fans and RFD-TV viewers are about to get a lot closer to some of their favorite country music artists. Reflections From The Circle, premiering on the network on Sun., Nov. 6, is set to feature fan favorites including Trace Adkins, Dierks Bentley, Charlie Daniels, Vince Gill, Kellie Pickler, and Josh Turner reflecting on their personal lives and careers during intimate conversations on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry with TV and WSM radio personality Eddie Stubbs.

The premiere episode of Reflections From The Circle is set to feature Opry and Country Music Hall of Fame member Vince Gill. All shows are scheduled to air Sundays at 7:00 p.m. EST/6:00 p.m. CST. The show’s first season schedule follows:

Sunday, Nov. 6 – Vince Gill
Sunday, Nov. 13 – Trace Adkins
Sunday, Nov. 20 – Dierks Bentley
Sunday, Nov. 27 – Josh Turner
Sunday, Dec. 4 – Kellie Pickler
Sunday, Dec. 18 – Charlie Daniels

Each show emanates from the Opry stage within the famed six-foot circle of wood, which was moved from the Ryman Auditorium to center stage of the Grand Ole Opry House when the Opry took up residence in its new home in 1974. The circle holds personal significance on innumerable levels for all the artists appearing on the show. Turner was officially welcomed to the Opry family there by Vince Gill, who says he’ll always remember singing his career-making “When I Call Your Name” while the King of Country Music, Roy Acuff, looked on just a foot away. In addition to career highlights on the Opry stage, Adkins took time out from his Opry debut to propose marriage and years later announced from the circle that he and his wife were expecting a baby. Bentley celebrated his official Opry induction inside the circle with his beloved dog Jake. Daniels invited one of his favorite acts, Montgomery Gentry, to join the Opry family while they stood on the circle of wood, then returned with the duo to sing “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” on the night the Opry House re-opened following last year’s Nashville flood.

Host Stubbs is already familiar to many RFD-TV viewers, appearing as the on-camera announcer for the network’s “The Marty Stuart Show” the past three years. He’s a 16-year veteran of country station 650 AM-WSM and of the Grand Ole Opry announcer staff. He was this week named as a 2012 inductee into the Country Radio Hall of Fame.

Longtime Charlie Daniels Band KeyBoardist Taz Digregoria Passed Away

Posted by Country Girl on October 14th, 2011

Joel ‘Taz’ DiGregorio, longtime keyboard player and vocalist for The Charlie Daniels Band, has passed away.

DiGregorio died Wednesday night as a result of injuries he sustained in a single car accident in Cheatham County, TN, while driving to meet the CDB tour bus. The accident occurred on I-40 West of Nashville. The band was scheduled to depart for Cumming, GA, for a concert appearance at the Cumming Country Fair and Festival on Oct. 13th.

The CDB has cancelled their concerts scheduled for last night, Oct. 13th in Cumming, GA. at the Cumming Country Fair and Festival and Saturday, Oct. 15th in Waterbury, CT. at the Palace Theater.

From Southbridge, Mass., Taz was an original member of the CDB for over 40 years and a co-writer on many CDB songs, including “The Devil Went Down To Georgia.”

“I am in shock now, Taz was one of my best friends,” says Charlie Daniels. “The CDB family has lost a great friend and musician. We traveled many miles together and shared so many nights on the road. We’re going to miss you buddy. You were one of a kind and will never be forgotten. We send our deepest condolences to the family.”

Funeral arrangements are incomplete at this time.

Charlie Daniels to Celebrate 75th Birthday at Grand Ole Opry

Posted by Country Girl on October 7th, 2011

The Grand Ole Opry® presented by Humana® will throw a 75th birthday party for Opry member and country music/Southern rock stalwart Charlie Daniels during its two shows Sat., Oct. 29. Among those scheduled to participate in the birthday shows in addition to the guest of honor are Opry member Clint Black plus special guests The Grascals, Lee Greenwood, Tanya Tucker, and more.

Daniels, who will turn 75 on Oct. 28, became a Grand Ole Opry member in 2008. During his 50+ year career, he has scored hits on rock, country, pop, and Christian charts. He has received numerous awards from the Country Music Association, Academy of Country Music, the Gospel Music Association, and has won a Grammy®. Born in Wilmington, NC, Daniels was raised on a musical diet that included Pentecostal gospel, local bluegrass bands, rhythm & blues, and country music. His signature song, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” topped both the country and pop charts, bringing him international acclaim. His volunteer spirit, support of American troops and down-to-earth philosophy have solidified his reputation as a true American patriot.

“Charlie is without a doubt one of the greatest all-around entertainers to have ever hit the Opry stage,” said Pete Fisher, Opry vice president and general manager. “When the night calls for him to perform crowd favorites and to bring some of his best friends along for a milestone birthday celebration, you know we’re in for two unforgettable shows.”

In honor of the Charlie Daniels salute, the Gaylord Opryland® Resort is offering 20% off its Oct. 29 “Night at the Opry” package including preferred seating Opry tickets and accommodations at the resort. Guests should mention code GOOCD75 when making a reservation in order to activate the discount. To plan an Opry visit, call (800) SEE-OPRY or visit opry.com.
