Julie Roberts Sings Songs of “Sweet Carolina” in Honor of Her Alma Mater

Posted by Country Girl on May 4th, 2012

Julie Roberts

As a part of the University of South Carolina’s (USC) ‘Carolina Promise’ campaign, USC alum and country music artist Julie Roberts has written and recorded “Sweet Carolina,” a special song honoring her home state and beloved University.

According to USC, the ‘Carolina Promise’ campaign is its “Commitment – or promise – to students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents and the communities we serve that we will continue to lead the way to improve the quality of life for all in our state and world. Regarding specific goals, Carolina’s Promise will raise much-needed funding for undergraduate, graduate and professional student scholarships, for promising faculty research and excellence in teaching, for innovative, relevant programs that will help solve some of society’s biggest issues, and for creating a modern, state-of-the-art learning and living environment through facilities and technologies that ensures our students’ success.”

Roberts is a witness to the University’s promise and the academic and personal frameworks it builds.

“I went to the University of South Carolina-Lancaster my first two years of college and received an amazing education and strong foundation for the rest of my life,” she says. “I was raised a Gamecock fan and most of my family are graduates from the University of South Carolina.”

Co-written and produced by Jason Collum, “Sweet Carolina” gives Roberts a way to help out the campaign and honor the place she calls home.

“Writing this song for the University felt like something I was supposed to do,” she says. “The University has given my family so much and I wanted to help this campaign in a way that I could, so I wrote and recorded ‘Sweet Carolina.’ It was fun thinking about the University, the students, the Gamecock fans, the alumni, the sporting events, and everything that makes me proud to call Carolina my home!”

Roberts will perform the song live May 10 in Columbia, S.C., at the official kick-off for the ‘Carolina Promise’ campaign. The event will be streamed live online at http://giving.sc.edu/

The song is available now through digital retailers iTunes and CD Baby. The “Sweet Carolina” release is packaged with the original song, an acoustic mix, as well as instrumental versions. Roberts plans to donate a portion of all sales to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a charity she is passionate about.

Fans can also expect a special music video featuring the recording of the song to be released soon. For up-to-date information, visit www.JulieRoberts.com.

The Country Music Hall of Fame Partners with the American Heart Association Exhibit that Included Sara Evans, Lorrie Morgan and More

Posted by Country Girl on January 27th, 2012

go-red-for-women1 Country Music Hall of Fame

The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum is opening a spotlight exhibit, Something in Red, in support of the American Heart Association and Go Red For Women®. The exhibition, which will feature red ensembles from several country stars, including Sara Evans, Naomi Judd and Lorrie Morgan, will open on February 3, 2012 (National Wear Red Day), and run through April 2012.

The red dress is a symbol of the fight against heart disease in women. Several country artists have partnered with the American Heart Association and the museum to raise awareness of this disease, the number one killer of women, by making their own red dresses available for this special exhibit.

Among the dresses featured in Something in Red:

  • Sara Evans’ full-length velvet sheath with feathers, designed by Victor Costa for Nahdree and worn at the 1999 Academy of Country Music Awards
  • Naomi Judd’s leather-like jacket and skirt with bugle beading, rhinestones, and tulle crinoline, designed by Esben and Vanessa Ware and the Judds and worn at the 1987 Country Music Association Awards
  • The JaneDear girls’ Danelle Leverett’s strapless Daisy mini-dress with floral detailing, worn on the cover of the duo’s 2011 self-titled debut album; and the JaneDear girls’ Susie Brown’s shimmering cocktail dress, designed by Ryan Gamboa and worn at the 2011 Academy of Country Music Awards
  • Lorrie Morgan’s full-length Caché gown with pleated bodice and spaghetti straps, worn on the Grand Ole Opry
  • Julie Roberts’ one-shouldered, matte jersey cocktail gown with rhinestone embellishments, made by Caché and worn on the Grand Ole Opry

Spotlight exhibits supplement themes and topics in the museum’s core exhibition, Sing Me Back Home: A Journey Through Country Music. These short-term, informal displays provide a closer look at a particular person, group or aspect of country music, or they spotlight recently donated items or special anniversaries. Rotated often, spotlight exhibits also offer a glimpse into the museum’s unique collection, which includes recorded discs; historical photographs; films and videotapes; posters; books; songbooks; periodicals and sheet music; personal artifacts such as performers’ instruments, costumes and accessories; and more.

Other current spotlight exhibits focus on the Academy of Country Music Awards, Bobby Braddock, Nudie Cohn, Bill Monroe, Rascal Flatts, Reba, Jean Shepard and Porter Wagoner.
