Posted by Country Girl on July 30th, 2011

Amos Lee will release an exclusive eight-song iTunes collection, entitled Live From SoHo, on August 16th. A pre-order for the album launed on July 26th, with Lee’s Triple a No. 1 “Windows Are Rolled Down” available instantly upon purchase.

The release — recorded at New York City’s Apple Store Soho on February 22nd, 2011, and featuring Lee backed by his touring band — includes four songs from Lee’s current album Mission Bell (“Windows Are Rolled Down,” “El Camino,” “Violin,” and “Cup of Sorrow”), as well as live renditions of tracks from Lee’s 2006 album Supply and Demand (“Night Train”) and his 2005 self-titled debut (“Arms of A Woman”). In addition, the collection includes two live covers: Ween’s “Buenos Tardes Amigo” and Neil Young’s “Are You Ready For The Country.”

In other news, Lee will perform his latest single, “Flower” — which is currently ascending the Triple A radio chart, and whose beautiful animated video has just been added to VH1′s playlist — on Live! With Jimmy Kimmel on August 18th.

In addition, on August 9th, Yahoo! Music will feature Lee as part of its Maximum Performance series with five tracks of unseen live footage that can be viewed at http://music.yahoo.com/. Lee’s his first single, “Windows Are Rolled Down,” which has spent 34 consecutive weeks on the BDS Triple A Chart, peaking at No. 1 on May 2nd, has been nominated by radio programmers for the 2011 “Triple A Song Of The Year” at the FMQB Triple A Conference in August.

In August, Lee will embark on a series of dates featuring special guests Calexico (who perform on Mission Bell), including a show at the Orpheum in Los Angeles on August 20th.  Lee will also perform at the LL Bean Festival on July 30th, the Newport Folk Festival on July 31st (which will be broadcast live on NPR.org), and with My Morning Jacket at Colorado’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre on August 4th.

In September, Lee travels to the UK for a month of sold-out dates with British songstress Adele, who hand-selected Lee to perform with her on this extensive tour of her native land. As an added bonus, Civil Wars has just been added as the opener for an amazing triple bill. For more information, please visit www.amoslee.com.

CMA Fest 2011 Kicked Off with a Bang and Tons of Special Guests

Posted by Country Girl on June 10th, 2011

Opening day of CMA Fest 2011 was a scorcher!  The heat index tipped over with over 200 CMA Fest goers having to be treated for some sort of heat related medical issues.    Make sure to keep those water bottles filled and stay safe. 

The nightly concert at LP Field gathers the biggest country music fans and mixes them with musical guests and great music every year…..2011 is no different!

Zac Brown Band kicked off the night with an entire hour of music!  Joining them on stage throughout the set were Amos Lee, Sonia Leigh, Randy Travis and Alan Jackson.  Closing out their set with Chicken Fried there was not a person sitting in their seat and the rumble of fans signing along was almost deafening.

Next on stage was the handsome Easton Corbin who rolled fans through a 5 song set that included his #1 hit “A Little More Country Than That”.

Sara Evans looked stunning as she serinaded the crows with “As If”, “Born to Fly” and “A Little Bit Stronger.” She closed her set with her new single that will be released June 20th, a cover of Rod Stewarts “My Heart Can’t Tell You No.”  It was great to see Sara back on the big stage at CMA Fest.  Her performance for me was the best of the night!

American Idol alum, Casey James, took the acoustic stage and sounded AMAZING!  His guitar skills and silky voice got a lot of fans excited.  Unfortunately, just a few seconds into his second song his mic went out and fans were left to only enjoy his guitar licks.  We felt so bad for him.  What an opportunity to have something like that go wrong.  Good news is he was a great sport about it and left the stage with a smile.

Jason Aldean got everyone back out of their seats and kicked the night up another notch.   If there is one thing Jason Aldean has when he is on stage it’s ENERGY!  And his performance of “Don’t You Wanna Stay” with Kelly Clarkson was perfection!

Brad Paisley closed out the night at LP Field with electrifying performances of  “American Saturday Night”, “This is Country Music”, “She’s Everything”, “Mud on the Tires” and “‘Working on a Tan”.    The BIG question of the night was if Alabama would join Brad on stage to sing his hit “Old Alabama”.  Do you really think Brad Paisley would let then fans down?  Of coarse not!    The crowd went wild and  Alabama closed the night with “Tennessee River”.

You can see all of our pictures from Thursday night CMA Fest performances by clicking here.

Tonight’s LP Field line up is FANTASTIC!  We are super excited to see:

  • Ashton Shepherd
  • Dierks Bentley
  • Lady Antebellum
  • Sugarland
  • Keith Urban
  • Clay Walker
  • and Reba!

This will be the debut CMA Music Festival performances for both Lee and Leigh. Travis last performed at CMA Music Festival in 2008.

The four-day CMA Music Festival takes place Thursday through Sunday, June 9-12, in downtown Nashville. The event, which celebrates its 40th birthday since beginning as Fan Fair® in 1972, will once again be filmed for an ABC television special to air in late summer.

They can also purchase them through CMAfest.com or 1-(800)-CMA-FEST (262-3378).

Single night tickets to the individual Nightly Concerts can be purchased for $35 (plus applicable handling fees) for general admission in the upper deck of LP Field through the same websites and phone numbers.

CMA Music Festival benefits music education in Metro Nashville Public Schools through a partnership with the Nashville Alliance for Public Education. Since 2006, more than $4.7 million has been donated to purchase musical instruments and supplies. The total also includes an annual endowment gift for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s Words & Music program. The philanthropic program, titled “Keep the Music Playing,” was created by the CMA Board to give back to the community on behalf of the artists who make appearances and perform for free.
