Little Big Town is back to host the 2012 Ride For a Cure Sunday, June 10th with proceeds benefitting the T.J. Martell Foundation. This will be the group’s 6th consecutive year hosting the ride.

The event will stay true to form with the exception of a new starting location for registration and the pre-ride Jam Session that will be Mickey Roo’s (509 Hillsboro Road, Franklin, TN 37069) in the Kroger Independence Square parking lot on Hillsboro Pike (see below link and QR code for specific directions). Registration begins at 8am.

At this pre-ride location guests and riders can expect performances by Cali Rodi and others on the welcome stage and then will depart at 10:30am for the Harley-Davidson Columbia Superstore.

Post-ride festivities will begin at 12pm and include a lunch hosted by Applebee’s, an All-Star Jam Session with performances by Lauren Alaina, Dean Alexander, Love and Theft and Little Big Town as well as a live auction for all attendees.

To date over $260,000 has been raised for the T.J. Martell Foundation since the beginning of Ride For a Cure. There have been over 2,500 motorcycle riders to participate in the ride, and an additional 2,000 people have joined us over the last three years at the Harley-Davidson Columbia Superstore for the post-ride All Star Jam concert. Past performers and supporters include Martina McBride, Jamey Johnson, The Band Perry and Luke Bryan among others.

Love and Theft Make Some Tennessee White Whiskey on GAC’s Day Jobs

Posted by Country Girl on May 15th, 2012

Love and Theft

Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Gunderson of Love and Theft weren’t certain what they were getting into when they agreed to take on the fine art of whiskey making for GAC’s “Day Jobs.”

For them, whiskey was something they’d experienced as bar patrons. They never realized the hard work and craftsmanship required to make smooth white whiskey — especially Popcorn Sutton’s White Whiskey, the barometer by which all other white whiskies are measured. Under the tutelage of Jamey Grosser, owner of Popcorn Sutton’s White Whiskey Distillery and keeper of Popcorn’s legendary recipe, Love and Theft try their hand at distilling the fine elixir…without breaking the delicate machinery and without taking a sample.

Can they stand the pressure? Tune in starting this Wednesday, May 16 at 9 PM (CT) / 10 PM (ET) to find out. For more information on Popcorn Sutton’s White Whiskey, please visit www.popcornsuttonswhiskey.com.

Country Music Hall of Fame

The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s Hot Nights at the Hall summer concert series for museum members will return on June 5 with a performance by hitmaker David Nail. The series, which debuted last summer, features live music, food, autograph signings and exclusive access to the museum and Museum Store. Upcoming performers include Jana Kramer on July 13 and Love and Theft on August 31.

Admission to Hot Nights at the Hall is free to all museum members. Membership at the museum begins at $40 and includes admission to all three concert events as well as a year of free admission to the museum and much more. A membership may be purchased at the event, by phone at (615) 291-8419 or at www.countrymusichalloffame.org/membership.

“Our members are a vital part of our museum family, and their contributions directly support our mission,” said Museum Director Kyle Young. “We created Hot Nights at the Hall last year as a way to say ‘thank you’ to the members we have, and to encourage others to join us by providing them with a really great value and yet another benefit to museum membership. We’re excited to bring the series back this summer and again offer members old and new a chance to hear some great music, meet the performers, and enjoy our exhibits after hours.”

Each Hot Nights at the Hall event runs from 6 – 9 p.m.; concerts begin at 7 p.m. and will be followed by autograph signings in the Museum Store. For more information on Hot Nights at the Hall or museum membership, please visit www.countrymusichalloffame.org/membership.
