Tracy Lawrence Wins with “Saturday in the South”

Tracy Lawrence is on a winning streak these days with his song “Saturday In The South.” On the heels of Fox Sports South Network adapting the song for it’s college football theme earlier in the year, CBS Sports Network has just selected the song for their College SEC Football telecasts.

Each week during the CBS sports telecasts of SEC football, Lawrence’s “Saturday In The South” is slated be part of an LG Sponsored vignette series that highlights the passion on and off the field during the game.

On Saturday (10/22), Lawrence took time to soak in a little “Saturday In The South” of his own by attending the LSU vs. Auburn game to perform for the CBS Sports telecast. CBS Sports filmed his performance with plans to use the video of song in future campaigns on various platforms including CBS Sports and CBS Sports Network websites. In addition, Saturday’s entire performance was made available online at the networks website during the game.

During the game, Lawrence had the opportunity to visit with CBS Sports commentators Verne Lunquist, Gary Danielson and CBS producer Craig Silver to celebrate the new relationship with the network.

“I am excited that CBS Sports has chosen “Saturday In The South” to be part of their telecasts,” says Tracy Lawrence. “It‘s great to see Country music being utilized in several football campaigns this year and I’m proud to be part of it.”

North Dakota State Fair Cancellation Means no Toby Keith, Kid Rock or Lady Antebellum

Scheduled for July 22-30 in Minot, the ND State Fair is being forced to coancel due to the flooding of the Souris River.   This is the first year in the fairs history it has had to cancel.

Fair organizers tried everything they could to keep the fair on track but eventually threw in the towel after seeing a revised National Weather Service forecast indicating recent rains would result in the floodwaters covering the fairgrounds to recede more slowly than expected.

“We tried hard, but the timeline got too short,” North Dakota State Fair manager Renae Korslien told the Minot Daily News, describing the cancellation as “tough on the heart and tough on the checkbook.”

Tracy Lawrence was scheduled for the fair July 22; Kid Rock with Sheryl Crow July 23; Lady Antebellum July 24; Nitty Gritty Dirt Band July 27; The Charlie Daniels Band July 28; Toby Keith July 29; and Pat Benatar and husband Neil Giraldo July 30.

Organizers were hopeful that this would have been the biggest North Dakota State Fair yet. Last year’s fair drew nearly 309,000 people, making for a new attendance record.

North Dakota we are wishing you all the best.  We were where you are just a little over a year ago.
