Rascal Flatts and Trace Adkins Turn the Grand Ole Opry into a Dance Party

Posted by Country Girl on August 24th, 2011

  

The lineup for the Grand Ole Opry was FANTASTIC last night.  From start to finish it was an exceptional show.  Little Jimmy Dickens started the night off and got the crowd giggling with jokes that can only be told by Little Jimmy. 

 

Also giving stellar performances last night were Brett Eldredge, Edens Edge, Heidi Newfield and Larry Gatlin. 

The party got started when Trace Adkins took the stage for a 30 minute set that got fans out of their seats rockin along to “Ladies Love Country Boys”, “Just Fishin”and other songs from his new album “Proud to be Here.”    I met a couple who drove from New York just to see Trace perform at the legendary Opry.  Trace was nice enough to sign a  cowboy hat for them before ending his set. 

For those of you who think the Grand Ole Opry isn’t as fun as a high end tour stop for Rascal Flatts.  You were proved WRONG last night.  Rascal Flatts took the stage for the final half hour of the show and there wasn’t a person there who wasn’t out of their seats singing along to every word.  

If you can’t make it to Nashville to visit the Grand Ole Opry in person don’t forget there are other ways to get the experience.

Country Music Stars Continue to Support the Boot Campaign

Posted by Country Girl on January 18th, 2011

One-by-one country music stars are taking off their cowboy boots and replacing them with army boots! The Boot Campaign was inspired by retired US Navy SEAL and author of the book Lone Survivor, Marcus Luttrell. The campaign is a way for Americans to give back and say thank you to our armed forces.

Country music stars involved include: legends like George Jones, Oak Ridge Boys, Jan Howard, Mel Tillis, Lee Greenwood and Charlie Daniels, along with hit-makers Josh Turner, Phil Vassar, Joe Nichols, Randy Houser, Gretchen Wilson, Little Texas, Joe Diffie, Jamie O’Neal, Heidi Newfield, Justin Moore, Chuck Wicks, Colt Ford, Randy Rogers Band, Eli Young Band, Derek Sholl, Joey + Rory and Jack Ingram.

Charlie Daniels, who even chose the Boot Campaign to be a part of his annual charity event at the Nashville Palm said, “I’ve never seen anything quite as unique as the Boot Campaign, and I’ve seen a lot!”

Also on board are bluegrass artists The Grascals and The Roys, along with Texas sensations Cross Canadian Ragweed, Robert Earl Keen, Jason Boland, Aaron Watson, Mick and the Motorcars, Reckless Kelly, Wade Bowen, Kevin Fowler, Stoney LaRue, No Justice, Bleu Edmondson, and Granger Smith.

These celebrities along with the Boot Girls are helping to spread the organizations motto: “When They Come Back, We Give Back!” The campaign encourages Americans to purchase a pair of army combat boots to wear in support of our nation’s troops. Proceeds from the boot sales are donated to partner charities, including Luttrell’s Lone Survivor Foundation.

About The Boot Campaign
Known as “the Boot Girls,” Ginger, Leigh Ann, Sherri, Heather and Mariae banned together one fateful night in Tyler, Texas to launch The Boot Campaign giving gratitude and appreciation for the American military. The initiative is quickly gaining awareness with the repertoire of boot images expanding every day. The Boot Girls ask Americans to put their boots on during the routine of daily life to symbolically walk in the shoes of our military men and women, remembering their service and sacrifice. The Campaign’s signature boots are available for purchase online with proceeds benefiting organizations like The Lone Survivor Foundation.

MJ2 & Celebrity Friends – You Can’t Say Love Enough

Posted by Country Girl on December 18th, 2010

“You Can’t Say Love Enough”  is a charity single by female group MJ2 and their celebrity friends, with all net proceeds from sales going to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).  The list of artists who donated their talents to the single is impressive:  Andy Griggs, Bill Anderson, Buddy Jewell, Burns & Poe, Cowboy Troy, Dolly Parton, Heartland, Heidi Newfield, Larry Gatlin, Lee Greenwood, Mark Collie, Moe Bandy, Rio Grand, Rudy Gatlin, Steve Wariner, T.G. Sheppard, and Wayne Newton.  In “You Can’t Say Love Enough,” the artists convey a positive message:  say “I love you” today because tomorrow is not a guarantee.  

 While I don’t expect MJ2, a relatively unknown group, will be able to make “You Can’t Say Love Enough” a timeless classic like Michael Jackson’s charity ensemble single “We Are the World,” they do make a nice effort.  It’s a meaningful song born out of love for a worthy charity.  Purchasing “You Can’t Say Love Enough” by MJ2 and their celebrity friends is a simple way for us all to show love for the JDRF through a monetary gift.
