Ty Herndon & Amber Hayes Support ALS

Ty Herndon and Amber Hayes were on hand this past weekend to help former Alabama and NFL player Kevin Turner raise just over $100,000 at a private Nashville ALS fundraiser event.

Held Saturday, June 18th, at a private estate in Brentwood, Tenn., the fundraiser was attended by more than 250 people, including numerous current and former Alabama and NFL players and coaches. Herndon and FUNL Music label mate Amber Hayes performed at the event, which included two auctions featuring collectible sports memorabilia and jewelry, a cigar tent, food, drinks and appearances by current Clemson coach and former Alabama receiver Dabo Swinney and legendary Alabama coach Gene Stallings, among others. Herndon’s Grammy-nominated “Journey On” project is the official song and video of the Kevin Turner Foundation.

Turner, who played professional football for eight seasons in the ‘90s with the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots, was diagnosed with ALS in May 2010. In October 2010, the Prattville, Ala., native formed the nonprofit Kevin Turner Foundation to help raise awareness and money for critical ALS research and the emerging connection between ALS and concussions. The $100,000 raised at this weekend’s event benefits the Kevin Turner Foundation.

Amber Hayes Lands Role in “Cowgirls N’ Angels” Motion Picture

Amber Hayes has been cast in her debut movie role in the family-friendly, rodeo-themed motion picture, “Cowgirls N’ Angels,” due out in 2012.

Hayes, an accomplished former theater performer, plays a supporting role in the film as honky tonk singer Amber Grant. Hayes’ original songs “C’mon” and “Right as Rain,” from her 2010 EP release C’mon, are featured prominently in the movie and on the Cowgirls N’ Angels soundtrack. One new unreleased track, a heart-wrenching ballad written specifically for the film by the rising Country star and titled “Always There For Me,” is also included.

“This was such a thrill for me to be cast in ‘Cowgirls N’ Angels,’ says Hayes. “I’m really grateful to the cast and crew and director Timothy Armstrong for including me and my music in the film, and I had a wonderful time trying my hand at something new. I’m so excited to see the finished movie next year!”

The film is Hayes’ first motion picture role, though she has starred in several successful theater productions, including her leading role performance as Kathy Twitty in the 2008 critically acclaimed Conway Twitty musical, “It’s Only Make Believe.”

“I couldn’t be more pleased with Amber Hayes,” says director Timothy Armstrong. “She brought great style and personality to “Cowgirls N’ Angels.” Her amazing voice and songwriting skills helped create a wonderful honky tonk scene, which is an important part of the movie. The song that she wrote, “Always There for Me,” is heartbreakingly beautiful and has been chosen to be featured prominently in another scene in the movie. She is a great talent!”

Hayes’ current single, “Wait,” continues to climb the charts at Country radio, with the song’s music video receiving airplay at The Country Network, GACTV.com and Yallwire.com, where it debuted at No. 1 on the site’s Top 100 chart. She has been touring with FUNL Music label mate Ty Herndon in recent weeks.

Amber Hayes “Wait” New Music Video

 

Amber Hayes is debuting the music video for her current single, “Wait,” today on Yallwire.com.

Yallwire.com subscribers will also receive exclusive, behind-the-scenes photos and video from Hayes’ “Wait” video shoot.

“It was such an honor to have had an opportunity to work with director Steven Goldmann,” says Hayes. “I realize now that most of my favorite videos were actually directed by him, so needless to say, I feel extremely blessed and fortunate that he wanted to be involved in my video for ‘Wait.’”

“Wait” is the second single released off of Hayes’ 2010 debut, C’mon. The six-track EP has already produced one Top 40 single on the Music Row chart with its title track, and “Wait” is currently approaching Top 40 status as well. The Oklahoma native has earned high praise from critics for her ability to integrate traditional-style Country music with contemporary, radio-friendly appeal.

Amber Hayes “C’mon” – New Music Weekend

Amber Hayes makes an impressive splash with her six-song EP, C’mon, which features a perfect blend of fun, upbeat songs, emotional ballads, and touching stories.

In the fun and flirty title single, Hayes radiates attitude. The song sounds like a throwback to early `90s country, and if you aren’t nostalgic for that era, the song might feel slightly dated. However, the remaining songs sound fully modern, and all six tracks showcase Hayes’ strong vocals. If a comparison were to be drawn, I would say Hayes sounds, at times, like Amanda Wilkinson from family trio The Wilkinsons.

A strong example of this vocal comparison can be found in the song “Right As Rain,” which falls into a string of recent daughter-leaving-home-and-mother songs from newcomers like Jennette McCurdy (“Not That Far Away”) and Katie Armiger (“Leaving Home”). Hayes differentiates her song, though, by dedicating the first verse to a childhood story of surviving a tornado. Motherly advice received during the storm is the same advice received when leaving home later in the song. The song carries a positive and encouraging message we all need to be reminded of sometimes: “Don’t be afraid when you see dark clouds. Life grows sweeter when heaven pours down. It ain’t always gonna be a sunny day. It’ll be alright, right as rain.”

Another song with a great message is the beautiful and emotional “Can’t Take It Back.” This standout highlights the ways in which words “can hurt, or they can be a blessing” through the stories of a verbally abusive father and a loving boyfriend. The words and music on the talented Amber Hayes’ C’mon are definitely a blessing and should earn her a place amongst today’s rising female country stars.
