The Maggie Rose

Her name is Maggie Rose,although most might recognize her as Margaret Durante, she is the same person make no mistake of that despite the hair color change and new look. A spitfire gal, Maggie Rose calls the shots, she's making sure of it. For a young twenty-something Maggie has it all together, her confidence, self assured, level-headed, fun, flirty attitude will have you taking notice, and the voice matches the girl. The soulfully bluesy traditional country sound Maggie possess makes for great country music in the contemporary world of country music these days. Maggie's brand new single "I Ain't Your Mama" sums it up, telling her man to get it together, no woman wants to baby her man. The feisty country rock infused song will have you singing along in no time at all, it's the hook that will catch you.
"I Ain't Your Momma" will make it's radio release debut June 25th.

Zac Brown Band Is Feeling Uncaged

Zac Brown Band is feeling untamed and uncaged these days as they prepare for the release of their third album Uncaged scheduled for release July 10,2012. Their first single The Wind was  recently performed at the 2012 CMT Music Awards. The fast paced free spirited,banjo,mandolin, fiddle playing song will become a fan favorite,and I must admit I enjoy a good fast paced Zac Brown Band song. Now with the release just a month away the band has released the cover art and track listing which will raise some eyebrows. There is obviously a story behind the cover art, I would like to know what that is.

Pre-order Uncaged at Amazon today!

Josh Turner is more than excited to release his new album Punching Bag  in stores Tuesday June 12th. Punching Bag reflects on the past couple of years Josh has experienced and will give fans a whole new reason to love him more. In a recent interview with Country Weekly Magazine Josh talks about his home away from home, his writing den and what inspires him. The colorful, free spirit, country man Josh is gives us insight of his life on the road, his family and faith in God. The good in Josh will always have me wonder if there's an alter ego brewing inside, one can image.

Introducing Taria Long

One might make the move to Nashville to pursue a career in music however for Nashville born Taria Long music city was already at her front door. Taria began performing at the age of 15, her debut on the Grand Ole Opry stage performing in front of thousands and those long before her, Taria's influences Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn and Lorrie Morgan to name a few. It was of the great country legend Vern Gosdin who found and discovered the talented Taria Long. Taria performed along side Vern for a year and what would become a great stepping stone for a continuing career in music. At the age of 18 Taria would accompany and open for artist Lorrie Morgan, and in that time accepted a job position for the stage show of “Memories Of Conway” playing the portion of Loretta Lynn. Soon after Taria would embark on her solo efforts as a female country artist. Taria Long is no flash in the pan contemporary country artist, although will tell you loves all genres of music, she certainly doesn't show it vocally. The dynamic golden rich voice brings pure power and passion with each breath she takes,what you see is what you get in Taria. Country Music City Promotions is happy to proudly present Taria Long. Taria's debut album "Everybody Wants Some" shines with authenticity, the traditional sound of country music. "Everytime" Taria's first single is hauntingly beautiful, compelling, it's infectious melody oozes warmth and tenderness, it will certainly make a grown man's heart melt. With each track Taria brings the best out of the traditional sounds of country music,blues, soul and honky tonk, she's the voice that keeps on singing. "The Next Big Thing" is just that and more than one of ten songs on her debut, Taria Long is the next big thing out of country music. She's more than a music city girl, Taria has staying power and years of longevity to come.  Taria Long is making her way to you.
