Celebrities will be seated to play the award-winning game on Thursday, June 7, from 2:00-4:30PM at the Hard Rock Café in the heart of the activities in downtown Nashville. The tournament brings together some of country music’s brightest stars who will play the word game to benefit the children’s charities Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and the literacy organization Success Won’t Wait.

The outing offers the unique opportunity for country music fans to sit down beside their favorite celebrities and play the You’ve been Sentenced! card game or simply enjoy the action.

The game play will be followed by acoustic performances.

“We’ve always known that the country music industry has tremendous heart,” said McNeill Designs CEO, Don McNeill. “The interest and support shared by the community as a whole for this charity event has been overwhelming and it’s even more moving in consideration of the number of appearances, concerts and events these artists are juggling as part of their hectic CMA Fest schedules.”

The Oak Ridge Boys, Wynonna & Jason Michael Carroll Can Take the”IF” Out of Gift, And You Can, Too!

Cracker Barrel

For a great gift with no worries ‘if’ it will get there on time, ‘if’ it’s personal enough, or ‘if’ it’s something they can use, choose a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® digital gift card. With these electronic versions of Cracker Barrel’s traditional plastic gift cards, you can add a personal message and photo, schedule delivery right down to the day and time, and even share it socially on Facebook. And now you can add an image of the Oak Ridge Boys, Wynonna Judd, or Jason Michael Carroll Cracker Barrel CD cover for the music lovers on your list.

“The Oak Ridge Boys are having lots of fun with Cracker Barrel’s digital gift cards,” said Joe Bonsall of The Oak Ridge Boys. “We go to crackerbarrel.com/store/gift-cards/ and order a digital gift card. This is where the fun begins. We then add a personal photo, or select the image of our CD cover, add a message, decide how much we want the card to be worth from $10.00 to $500.00, pick a delivery date, and we’re done. Our friends get the gift of the kind of good country cookin’ that we like to eat when we visit at Cracker Barrel or they can pick out something for themselves from Cracker Barrel’s store. And when they see a picture of our CD on the gift card, it’s a gentle reminder to listen to our music or to buy our CD, It’s Only Natural, which Cracker Barrel recently released through their exclusive music program for one of their friends. I love the way this works!”

Cracker Barrel’s digital gift cards with exclusive music program CD images also include Wynonna Judd and Jason Michael Carroll. Wynonna’s Love Heals CD debuted at #7 on the Billboard Magazine Top Country Albums chart in May 2010. Jason Michael Carroll’s Numbers CD was released in July 2011 with a compilation of songs about everyday life experiences, including “Alyssa Lies,” which reached #5 on the Billboard Country Chart from Carroll’s 2007 album.

Jason Michael Carroll Knows His Numbers! – New Music Weekend

Jason Michael Carroll’s new album “Numbers” is on the Cracker Barrel list along with the other great country artists Cracker Barrel is currently carrying in the music world. This is technically his third album, the first being “Waitin’ in the Country” and the second being “Growing Up Is Getting Old”. He also recorded some long-treasured favorites for Christmas titled “Christmas on the Farm”. The son of a preacher, Jason was raised in a strict family home in Youngsville, North Carolina. His father was a very conservative minister and secular music was not allowed in his home as it was viewed as sinful. Luckily his mother encouraged his singing career and Jason is now deeply embedded in the world of country music.

His first single was “Alyssa Lies” followed by “Livin’ Our Love Song”, “I Can Sleep When I’m Dead” and “Where I’m From.” I was lucky enough to be in the audience at Titan Field in 2009 during CMA Fest and heard Jason on the side stage singing “Where I’m From” and it was evident that he already had a large following and the ladies were indeed happy to see Jason! Who wouldn’t love listening to that lovely southern drawl and watchin’ that wonderful Daddy of four sing? Songwriter, singer and family man – Jason wrapped up in a nutshell!

This new album is genuinely Jason – filled with storied songs of love, fun – there’s even a “Can I Get an Amen” song included which is a song about balance – right and wrong – expecting help from above and doing it yourself. He believes in women’s rights but also loves to see a short, tight skirt and has a few “amen’s” about the government as well. It’s a fun and thought-provoking song that Jason does in his own special way with a great upbeat tempo.

“Numbers” is the new single from the same titled album and is a great play on all numbers in our life – some mean something and some mean absolutely nothing! It’s a cute song doing 72 in a 65 on I-24 in a 4-wheel drive and got a 10:00 o’clock on 18th Avenue! There’s a 30 percent chance of rain all week —- 18 wheelers – radio station call numbers – it’s just a fun and upbeat song about numbers!! It’s a single that belongs on the charts – great melody and some really good guitar backing him up.

“Numbers” promises to deliver some great new country music to Jason’s loyal fans and listeners via Cracker Barrel and iTunes. The other songs that round out this CD are This is For the Lonely, Ray of Hope, Meet Me in the Barn, Hell or Hallelujah, My Favorite, Don’t Know Why I Don’t, Let Me, Stray, Last Word and Alyssa Lies.
