THE MARSHALL TUCKER BAND HITS THE ROAD IN 2014 WITH TAKE THE HIGHWAY TOUR

Nashville, Tenn. (December 19, 2013) - Today, the iconic multi-platinum selling Marshall Tucker Band (MTB) announced its 2014 tour, marking its 43rd year on the road. The band's Take The Highway Tour kicks off next month in Honolulu, Hawaii and continues throughout 2014 with nearly 40 concert dates currently on the books.
"Next year's tour schedule is shaping up to be huge with so many great shows already scheduled," says MTB lead singer Doug Gray.  "We wanted to brand next year's tour with something that would stick and make sense.  'Take The Highway' is perfect not only because it is one of our big career songs but also because it's what we do almost 200 days out of the year!

The 2014 Tamworth Country Music Festival will be the first for 2012 "X-Factor" runner-up Jason Owen.

Jason is joining country starlet Amber Lawrence as her special guest and will be "a rare chance" for audiences to see two premier young country artists sharing the same stage.

Throughout this year, Jason has been touring Australia beside Amber and they already have "a swag" of tour dates locked in for 2014.

"The show has been a hit," said a spokesman for the pair, "selling out metropolitan centres and regional areas, earning Jason a whole new fan base."

The 19-year-old's debut album Life Is A Highway landed at number five on the ARIA Album Chart and number one on the iTunes Country Chart in its first week out. The album has also been nominated for a Golden Guitar for Top Selling Album of the Year.

"Amber and myself have so much fun together on stage," Jason said. "We both love to perform our hearts out so our audience members can expect fun, great songs and a whole lot of entertainment. The show contains songs from Amber's three albums (to date) and me singing songs from my current album."

Artist: Brady Honeycutt
Title Of Album: Nothin To Lose
Year Of Release: 2013

 Without a doubt, country music has been a big part of this young mans life. At a young age, Brady was introduced to Traditional Country Music and Western Swing and now loves listening, playing and writing that style of music. The enjoyment of taking the stage and watching people dance and have a good time is a high he can't get enough of. Brady has loved to sing and play country tunes since he was a little boy. His first live appearance/performance on stage (at 5 years old) was with Western Swing Hall of Fame Singer/Fiddle player Jody Nix & The Texas Cowboys in Midland, Texas. Now he travels from dancehall-to-dancehall singing and playing, enjoying every minute of the performance. His first album "Nothin' To Lose" will be released early summer of 2013. The album includes both original music written by Brady Honeycutt himself, as well as cover tunes that he grew up loving! If you are a fan of traditional country dance music, western swing, this is the cd for you!

                    Taylor Swift donated $100,000 to the Nashville Symphony


Taylor Swift celebrated her 24th birthday ( Dec. 13) by giving a generous gift, instead of receiving one. In honor of her big day, the singer donated $100,000 to the Nashville Symphony.
The gift comes at an important time for the Music City venue. The Nashville Symphony considered filing for bankruptcy earlier this year, and continue to try to recover from their financial losses.
This is not the ‘Sweeter Than Fiction’ singer’s first donation to her local community. She previously donated an astonishing $4 million to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, with the money funding the Taylor Swift Education Center.
Swift is home for the holidays before she kicks off the final leg of her year-long, worldwide Red Tour, which will play a series of shows in London in 2014, as well as a stop in Berlin

23 year-old Taylor Swift is a seven-time GRAMMY winner, and is the youngest winner in history of the music industry’s highest honor, the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. She is the only female artist in music history (and just the fourth artist ever) to twice have an album (2012’s RED and 2010’s Speak Now) hit the 1 million first-week sales figure.
With RED, Taylor became the first artist since the Beatles (and the only female artist in history) to log six or more weeks at #1 with three consecutive studio albums. RED has topped the Billboard 200 Albums Chart for seven weeks, following Fearless (11 weeks), and Speak Now (six weeks).
