Rising country artist Dylan Scott is set to make his live Dusty Armadillo debut in the heart of Rootstown, Ohio Saturday November 21st. Scott burst onto the Nashville music scene just a few short years ago. His debut single "Makin' This Boy Go Crazy" climbed the charts and made it onto the COUNTRY MUSIC CITY PROMOTIONS One's To Watch of 2014 list. The Louisiana born and bred country boy moved to Music City at the age of 19 to make a name for himself, and sure enough did. Scott signed to Curb Records and released his debut EP album in early 2014. Dylan's likability have caught the attention of young girls everywhere,  and I can see why by his easy on the eyes good looks and down home southern charm. Scott has a way about himself that isn't cocky, stuck on himself mojo, he's the complete opposite as I remember the first time meeting him. His larger than life positive attitude and immense sense of humor is truly refreshing. Scott's brand new single out now "Crazy Over Me" will take your breath away. The love ballad has not only radio appeal fans will resonate with the lyrics of that first real love. Get to know this rising artist if you haven't yet, it's well worth it.

See Dylan Scott live and witness a true talent at hand.

Casey James Wows Crowd At Dusty Armadillo Winter Concert Series 9-28-13

Country Music City Promotions, Shellie Palmer

Undeniable passion and soul filled the Dusty Armadillo Saturday September 28th, with his return to the Dusty stage Casey James is the epitome of  a musician, his eyes widen and he who takes great joy playing for a crowd. By the number of the crowd, the ladies of the night swoon over James that find him gushing. James' musicality is one for the books and the musicians that take the lead in the band Jeff Brown, Dino Villanueva and David Kurrasch are one fine oiled machine. Through out his hour set James performed his single hits "Let's Don't Call It A Night" and "Crying On A Suitcase" including his current single "The Good Life". From the crowd's excitement new material is performed "Nothing Like You",  "A Woman's Touch" and "Get On The Road" along with others that still have me re-listening to videos. Oozing soul and blues in "A Girl Like You" and "A Woman's Touch" is feeling James' fire beneath the surface. It is no doubt James fuels his passion for music. The energizing "Get On A Roll" is fist pumping as Dino describes fist pumping to get the crowd in doing just that. On the ever sweet and ever soulful "So Sweet" generates heat from the ladies making temperatures rise in the building. Not one minute does James feel to look out in the crowd, holding his hands to his head to also brushing the hair away from his face. It was from the solo leads from each member that truly left me feeling each and every one's passion from the stage, you don't get passion like that, it it either already instilled in you, in your veins or not at all. Without a doubt these men have real passion. At one point throughout the set Casey reminds the crowd to really get into it to even having them sing with him, fan interaction is key, and it was right on, James was impressed. At times James pulls in the guys for some musical interaction, players together are a force to be reckoned with.

It wasn't until  Casey performed "Drive", "Working On It" and "She's Money" that would send the crowd into a manic frenzy. At that moment felt like a British invasion going on, was I morphed back into the 60's with the Beatles, I truly felt the floor shaking beneath me. It was an experience I will never forget. As the hour began to wind down I felt the urge to swipe the sweat rolling down my face trying to keep my clothes from sticking to me and brushing the hair away from my face. Before the closing number Casey tells the crowd he would stay behind to meet with everyone, sign photos and take pictures, what a gentleman. Pure, honest, passionate Casey James gives good meaning to country music and his growing fan base, this is what it's about. You'll find me at future shows.

North East Ohio Foundation of Patriotism Craig Morgan Charity Concert

On Friday May 3,2013 the North East Ohio community came together to raise more than $7,000 for the North East Ohio Foundation of Patriotism for our serving and non serving military in part of the 94.9FM WQMX Your Station! Your Country! charity concert series. Fellow veteran and country artist Craig Morgan and more than 170 fans gathered at the Dusty Armadillo in Rootstown, Ohio  that day to support our troops and military. The continuing support and effortless Patriotism Morgan displays shines and as for myself  continue to do my part to support our military and troops. As little as five dollars or even ten dollar donations to support our troops, serving, non serving,hospitalized and paralyzed veterans makes a difference. 94.9 radio personality Ken Steele presented the $7,795.00 over sized check to the fellow Marines and Army officials who attended.


Fans were overly pumped for the night's entertainment coming from Morgan himself who performed more of his most popular single songs to date from "International Harvester", "That's What I Love About Sundays", "This Ain't Nothing" "Little Bit of Life", "Red Neck Yacht Club" "This Ole Boy" and to his current single on radio now "More Trucks Than Cars". Of the hour long acoustic show Morgan delivered performance after performance, fans were at a fever pitch high of excitement and would have to admit gave a few hollers myself. The highlights of the night's performances came from new material Craig is currently working on in Nashville. Craig explains " how many believe in our own right to own a weapon and the bible, trucks, and there is a lot of them out there tonight, well this is a song we were suppose to write with another guy and when we did sit down with him, well, he kept on telling us we were crazy, calling us crazy, this is the song "They Think We're Crazy", we wrote this song just for him". An up tempo country feel kind of song, talking bout bibles, trucks and a cold pack, this is one country song you'll feel right down to your toes. "They Think We're Crazy" surely fits the country music mold and fans would agree would make a great single song release to country radio. Morgan had yet one more new song to share with the crowd who wanted their opinion as he is considering it to be a new released single called "Wake Up Loving You". Craig's ballad rearing vocals were chilling to the bone on this love song,giving fans more reason to scream with excitement, I say we have a winner.

Though I left, the cheers we're loudly apparent fans wanted more, I await to hear Morgan giving his thank you's to everyone who came out for the evening to support a great cause. We all can make a difference.

Phil Vassar LIVE Dusty Armadillo Show Recap

The man behind the most loved country songs such as Carlene, American Child, Don't Waste Your Life and the brand new single Love Is Alive performed at the ACM nominated Dusty Armadillo Saturday April 20th. Vassar's exuberant personality and enthusiasm was felt from the massive crowd of country fans. The most devoted fans were in fact ahead of the pact waiting for the event to begin lining up before the venue opened it's doors. I was there to witness Phil Vassar fever at it's best.

Vassar who took to the stage at 10pm gave the crowd what they came for, his eyes lit with joy and interaction was beyond incredible, shaking hands, mine included in the sea of fans. His professionalism, love and passion exudes and all that much more enjoyable to say the least. Phil's larger than life stage presence through each number went through leaps and bounds, though Phil is most likely to perform atop of the piano, the ceiling height was his concern, however made the best out of the situation with his clownful tactics.

 

Notably Vassar bursts into a rendition of Willie Nelson's "On The Road Again" he apologizes "I'm sorry I did that" before smoothly sailing back into "My Next 30 Years".  Not straying from his piano Phil pulls out his musical chops on the classics of the 60's, "Stay" and My Girl" with the band's lead guitarist, the vocal range was well in doubt superbly authentic to the original version. To have the pipes to pull that off is number one in my book. Through out "Just Another Day In Paradise" and "Six Pack Summer" the crowd interaction came to a fever pitch to the point of me plugging my ears.Yikes!! a crowd that loud would make a person loose their hearing.

 

At one point or another asks the crowd what they want to hear and upon requests performs the most recognized song of his career "Carlene" and even a few I haven't heard to be completely honest. Vassar's continued crowd interaction led him to receiving notes from the corners of the stage, some read and wished one a happy birthday. Phil certainly touches those he's around, appreciating the format he's in, in able to connect on such a personal level. When it came time to performing "Last Day of My Life" Vassar welts up showing his more vulnerable side,as there is more to the man than one thinks.

Certainly Vassar's connect with an audience gives them reason to follow him across country, as they very well do in most cases. Phil points and smiles to those he recognizes, cheering right along having a night that would soon not end, he says to the crowd " I could go all night". As I walk through the crowd to leave due to exhaustion Vassar keeps on and keeping on was his intent giving his audience what they came for. A staged artist who continues to give back in a way Phil does is a superb individual, it is well appreciated.

Phil Vassar delivered a concert no person will forget.

Casey James Fan Correspondent Dusty Armadillo LIVE Recap

I am truly grateful to special Casey James fan Shelly Cataline  Country Music City Promotions Fan Correspondent who made the journey and trip from Lansing, Michigan for my place of absence for the sold out Dusty Armadillo Casey James show Saturday February 9,2013. Her dedication and support is truly unwavering. Thank you Shelley!

 One could tell you Casey James wears his heart and emotions on his sleeve, it is true, and as the person he is, artist and musician he truly shines. At his first live sold out show at The Dusty Armadillo the hottest little night club in Rootstown, Ohio Saturday night James performed the hits "Let's Don't Call It A Night" and "Crying On A Suitcase" from his debut album including "Drive", "The Good Life" and "She's Money" before breaking out into new material.

" Breaking Through The Blue" an up tempo tune has the making of a country radio hit single, it's contagious melody fits that radio mold. For those who have seen James live changes guitars through out the hour and a half set. Once James pulls out the shiny black and sliver  guitar fans  know it's time for "Drive" the fast paced, upbeat song that guarantees you to get those feet a tapping. On the new "A Woman's Touch" a soulfully bluesy song has quickly become a fan favorite among the Team Casey James fan base, fans want to see this become a follow up single ( not yet released). The song itself has a seductive soulful blues vibe any woman would fall for. Steel guitarist David Kurrasch brings the song it's magic.

Partly through the set Casey talks to the crowd before breaking into "Crying On A Suitcase", as of 2-11-13 on media base chart Crying On A Suitcase sits at number 14. It was quite obvious everyone knew the song singing along with James and as for the grin on his face that I see often at shows Casey loves when the crowd breaks out singing along with him. Following, Casey went on to perform yet another new penned song, "Run Away"  to " Love The Way You Miss Me" in which Casey so deservedly dedicates to our service men and women who are serving our country. In the upbeat bluesy cover of "So High" which James performs frequently had the crowd cheering and dancing. On yet another newly penned song James performs "She's My Girl" and for those who haven't heard the newly performed songs country music fans can see and hear them on YouTube, they are well worth watching. James' cover of "Need Your Love So Bad" simply oozes appeal, the bluesy ballad is down right performed beautifully.  At one point through the set Casey looks out amongst the crowd adoringly seen here.

It was a bitter sweet moment for Casey to announce friend and keyboardist Justin Pate was moving on in his musical endeavors, after some tears were shed it was clear how upsetting it was to announce. This would be Justin's last gig with the Casey James band. These are moments that are most difficult and the crowd cheered him on and we can only wish Justin the best in his journey.

 On the last song sung  James breaks out on the cover of "Polk Salad Annie" a real crowd pleaser and fan favorite to which each band member is spotlighted and recognized for their artistry. Visibly Casey get's lost in the moment with his guitar on the song. In some instances Polk Salad Annie lasts up to 15 minutes, however on this night Casey and the band played roughly  8 to 10 minutes.

Truly Casey and his band mates have a special bond, their good hearted nature is just who they are.

 Two hours past show time Casey made sure every fan received an autograph and photos with them, after all they have gotten Casey to this very place in his career. Casey James is more than a musician and artist he takes time with those who truly supports him. It shows how devoted Casey James fans are.

Jana Kramer Lights Up Stage At Ohio's Dusty Armadillo

Jana Kramer is as sweet and sassy as she is all country, the Michigan native sounds more of a southern native than a midwesterner. Jana shows her truest colors as an artist and entertainer and it certainly showed throughout her live hour long set Saturday night
January 5th at the #1 concert venue Dusty Armadillo in Rootstown, Ohio.

Kramer's spunk and wit oozes appeal, with that in mind Jana didn't disappoint performing songs from her self titled debut album that was just released 6 months ago, the first single "Why Ya Wanna" went gold and earned her a spot as one of the top 100 singles of 2012. Kramer's current single "Whiskey" gives fans what to look for in the coming months ahead. Performances of Whiskey and Why Ya Wanna had the crowd roaring, although went on through out the night past show time.  

The diversity Kramer delivers is well sure to get any country music fan in the mood, and did, performances of Sheryl Crow's "All I Wanna Do" and JoDee Messina's "Bye Bye" were not a far stretch from her own tracks, infact Jana's performance of  "All I Wanna Do" seamed more of paying homage to Crow, no imitation necessary. With the kiss off to Messina's "Bye Bye" Jana gave it and the crowd loved it. If I say so myself don't mess with Jana she'll stick it right to you. Among the performances, it was the medley of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" and "Run Baby Run" that showcased Kramer's more modern side, band mate Trey Hill plays to Kramer's more edgier vibe, these two feed off well among other band mates and keyboard, vocalist, guitarist Michael Hughes. I say this band meshes well together, it's a perfect fit.

Jana's high energy performance of "Free Fallen" was the highlight throughout the set, there was no doubt of crowd interaction as it clearly was. Kramer's performances of " King of Apology", Goodbye California, "I Hope It Rains" and "One of The Boys" made it all that much sweeter for fans who knew most lyrics to each track. I must admit, only those familiar to me were most recognizable. 

Jana Kramer is surely on the right track in her music career only setting the path for longevity, as it should be. Jana remains humble who greatly appreciates the fan support, country music has truly embraced her. Country Music City Promotions will continue to support Jana.
