7. @BrettEldredge got a little more than expected when he woke up last night…Am I the only one replaying this tweet over and over in my head? “Just stubbed my toe in the dark… I may have said a cuss word or 12! I probably look like a cartoon hopping around the room right now!”

6. One epidemic that has been steadily increasing over the years is bullying. @JoshGracin has some words of advice for those victims “If you’re being bullied.. Look at it this way and smile… Most likely you will be their future boss. #InYourFace”

Sugarland

Josh Gracin’s ‘Redemption’ Out Today

Posted by TawnyTucker on November 8th, 2011

The new Josh Gracin album Redemption – his first from indie label Average Joe’s Entertainment – hits stores TODAY.

“The album is 100 percent my interpretation, 100 percent my idea of what I wanted the record to be,” Gracin explains. “Just in that alone, it’s going to sound different than anything else I’ve done.”

Redemption features tracks “Long Way to Go” which reached the Top 20 on the Adult Contemporary charts, “Catastrophe,” where Josh teamed up with another Idol alum and winner of Season 2, Ruben Studdard, and “Can’t Say Goodbye,” an incredibly touching song based on the true story and continuing effort of war widow, Seana Arrechaga, to keep her husband’s memory alive. “Can’t Say Goodbye” was written for the Sears Heroes At Home initiative with all proceeds of single sales going to their efforts to support military service members, veterans, and their families.

Gracin co-produced Redemption with his long-time drummer, Kevin Murphy. All tracks, excluding a cover of John Mayer’s “Edge of Desire,” were either written or co-written by Gracin.

Redemption track listing:
1. Different Kind Of Crazy
2. Over Me
3. Get Back To Us
4. Enough
5. I Want To Make You Cry
6. Let You Go
7. Edge of Desire
8. Lie To Me
9. Love You Right
10. Only When It Rains featuring Shelagh Brown
11. My Life
12. Cover Girl
13. Catastrophe
14. Can’t Say Goodbye (Sears Heroes At Home Song)
15. I Still Love You
16. Long Way To Go
17. Long Way To Go (Remix)

Josh Gracin Set to Rock Camp Casey Fest in Ferndale

Posted by Country Girl on September 13th, 2011

Camp Casey Fest is set to rock downtown Ferndale on Saturday, October 15, 2011, with 12 hours of live music capped off by a headlining performance by Josh Gracin.

Other acts scheduled to appear include Annabelle Road, John Maison, Gunnar and the Grizzly Boys and more. More than just a music festival, Camp Casey Fest will feature a chili cook-off, awesome arts and crafts vendors, great grub from local restaurants and big screen TVs broadcasting the U of M vs. MSU football game.

Tickets are only $10 if purchased in advance ($15 at the door after 5 pm); kids 10 and under free with a ticketed adult. 100% of ticket sales benefit Camp Casey, a horseback riding program for kids with cancer in Michigan.

“We enjoyed great success with our chili cook-off last year and are really taking it to a whole new level this October,” said Molly Reeser, Camp Casey founder and executive director. “Not only have we added great retail and food vendors to the mix, but bringing in Josh Gracin to headline the event makes this the biggest and most exciting fundraiser we’ve ever had.”

“It’s always in honor to do anything that benefits charity,” said Gracin, who is originally from Westland, Michigan. “I’m excited to be taking part in this event that helps Camp Casey.”

Camp Casey Fest kicks off at 11 a.m. on East Nine Mile at Woodward Avenue in Ferndale, Michigan. The chili cook-off and art fair portion of the event conclude at 5 p.m. An official after-party is being hosted by Rosie O’Grady’s in Ferndale starting at 11 p.m. Presenting sponsors of Camp Casey Fest include McDonald’s, Panera Bread, Rosie O’Grady’s and blugray creative.

Josh Gracin’s New Video for “Can’t Say Goodbye”

Posted by Country Girl on July 29th, 2011

We have been telling you about the Sears Heroes at Home “Portraits of Heroes” song contest with Josh Gracin and we are excited to show you the finshed music video. Get your kleenex ready because it’s a tear jerker.

In case you are unfamiliar with the story read below:

Committed to keeping her husband’s memory alive, Seana Arrechaga of Clarksville, TN, shared how she met and married her best friend and his ongoing dedication to service as part of a national song contest to recognize military heroes. It was this personal tribute that stood out to country musician and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Josh Gracin, who named Seana the winner and will bring her memories to life through music.

“No matter what he was doing, he dedicated 100 percent to getting it done, even in the last few hours of his life. He was too stubborn to let go because he had too much to live for. That right there is what makes him my hero.”

“In the 1305 days I had him, he showed me how to live with no regrets and how to love with no limits. He taught me that you have to fight for what’s right when no one else will especially when it comes to your family.”

As part of the Sears Heroes at Home “Portraits of Heroes” song contest, Josh wrote and recorded a song based on Seana’s winning story. The two personally met in Nashville to record the song, which Josh revealed at the “Rockin’ for the Troops” concert in Wheaton, Ill., on July 16.

Sears is still accepting donatations to its Heroes at Home program in store or online at sears.com/heroesathome now through July 31. Donations will support the rehabilitation of homes for veterans and military families across the country.
