One's story isn't much different than October Hill's, country music's newest duo coming out of Nashville, Tennessee. Though Trey and Lori Beth Hill have years of experience lighting up the stage, together their magnifying bringing their country, rock, arena flare to clubs, bars, and venues. Their undeniable infectious sound will be something to hear.
Trey Hill began his musical journey in Shelby, North Carolina who made his way to Nashville in 2002, the guitarist, musician and vocalist may have the mad skills for the steel guitar, deep down lies a passion unbeatable that is of an untamed talent that truly shines, his artistry can't be measured upon. Trey's beginnings began with the grammy nominated Christian rock group SonicFlOOd that led him to bigger gigs touring with Jessica Simpson, Kellie Pickler, Brad Paisley, Scotty McCreery, Jason Michael Carroll, and country music new comer Jana Kramer to many others in the business. Trey's better half Lori Beth as well hails from the southern state, the little town of Troy, North Carolina. The powerhouse vocalist was once an American Idol contestant, though her American Idol days are long gone I wouldn't hear any complaints, Lori Beth moved on as a back round vocalist for season 3 place finisher Kimberly Locke from 2007 to 2011 to her now gig as the multi-talented artist with Nashville's General Jackson Showboat. Lori Beth's pure vocal richness grit and grasp has true appeal, it oozes flare.
October Hill will sure give country fans something to talk about with their country soul rock sound, though don't classify the duo as a country pop act, their far from it.  Their modern day country sound is pure soul and you will hear it on their up and coming 6 song EP already upon completion, Trey and Lori Beth teamed with hit producer/songwriter Jimmy Ritchey who's recorded,produced, and written for Vince Gill, Sara Evans, Randy Travis, Randy Owen, Lee Ann Womack, Lonestar's Richie McDonald, Clay Walker, Mark Chestnutt, Joe Nichols and Jake Owen. Ritchey has currently worked with Terri Clark and Blaine Larsen for new projects on Sony BMG Records. I say Trey and Lori Beth were in good hands in the studio with Ritchey. October Hill's sound will no doubt bring something new out of the gates of Nashville and even blow a little smoke. What you get from October Hill is real, honest to the core. Along the way in their careers Trey and Lori Beth have endured what every artist has gained a true sense of self and making it on their terms. This is it for October Hill and their ready for bright lights to the big time. Want to know more on October Hill, Trey and Lori Beth follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

Jana Kramer Brings Her Flare To Online STAGE IT Show: The Live Recap

In her first live online Stage It show Jana Kramer brought laughter and harmony and band member guitarist Jesse Tripplett  on Monday night's July 15,2013 Stage It show. Kramer performed numerous songs from her self titled debut album including new songs that will appear on her sophomore album coming early next year. Jana's delightful laugh,clowning around and bringing in her soon to be hubby and country rocker Brantley Gilbert. Jana encouraged fans to tip 5000 points to see Brantley and only one fan did, fan, friend and Jana follower Kenny was the night's biggest tipper of 5000, that is pure devotion. Fans requested out of the gates at the start of the show "Whiskey", this country favorite has the country flavor and flare. Kramer was absolutely excited for this first time Stage It show she could barely contain herself. One song in particular however I wasn't familiar with and also a fan request "When Your Lonely". Among the highlights, improv singing of the Nation Wide Insurance jingle from Jesse, Deniece Williams"Let's Hear It For The Boy" and Sheryl Crow's "All I Wanna Do".  The laughter kept on rolling on from the 45 minute show, yes, it went past the encore performance, Kramer is much on the go and it sure shows. For One Tree Hill fans Kramer performed " I Don't Give Up", yet again another song I'm not so familiar with. Performing an acoustic version of "California" was simply flawless, Kramer's vocals clearly shine. From new material Jana performed "That's Hot", this summer time song will get any fan in the summer time mood, the rowdy yet catchy lyrics will having you singing along in no time at all. The sweet yet sassy "Darlin" also new showcases Kramer's playful side with lots of attitude. Unfortunately one song Jana wanted to performed wasn't allowed from Stage It due to it's content, that is understandable. Wrapping it up for the night's show Encore's of "Why Ya Wanna" and the brand new single released "I Hope It Rains", as the happy go lucky, yet spunky Kramer jumps through out performance of "I Hope It Rains". Kramer thanked her fans blowing them a kiss and to request and vote for "I Hope It Rains", the video's release to +CMT  today.
Jana Kramer sure has a whole lot of country in her in all that she sings, it's contemporary, sassy and just plain good ole fun.

Doug Briney Live Stage It Show Recap


Photo taken and courtesy of Shellie of Country Music City Promotions



Doug Briney is far from your typical country music artist, Briney preaches a whole different tune and in Sunday night's June 30th Stage It show Briney delighted once again with his thirty minute Fathers and Freedom show. Those who missed the show Doug performed new material that is set to be included on his debut album under Tate Music Group. The first single release to come from the album " Money The Gun and The Bible" is Briney at his best without steering too far from his Christian roots. I must say what you get from Doug is surely a relaxed comfortable feeling, that easy feeling will touch you deeply. Briney  may not be as familiar as today's most traditional country artists though has made a name for himself independently over the past couple of years who's previous material "It's All Country" and "More Than A Farm To Me" set the standards of traditional country music, with a now new approach Doug and his family made the move from the snow banks of Anchorage, Alaska to Nashville who's still adjusting temperature wise and continuing to settle in, in a little at a time. Nashville couldn't look better on Doug as he steers ahead on his debut titled Super Country Cowboy, a release date is yet to be announced. One of several songs performed during the Stage It show was in fact the title track "Super Country Cowboy", rhythmically the song has it's moments and is quite different from the country crossover material being played in country radio today. The cover song that was specifically chosen to make the list on  Briney's debut album Brooks and Dunn's "Believe", Doug's passion, heart and vocal conviction is breath takenly refresh to the ears and fans will enjoy this cover as much as I do. A personal favorite of mine is "Unknown Solider" which Doug performed on his very first Stage It show a month earlier. The song's powerful message reminds us of our sacrificing men and women who fight for our country, as once a marine, army, or navy veteran always one, that is surely coming from my own experience as the daughter of a marine veteran. Other songs performed during the show, "The Choices You Make", "Feels Like Summer", and  "I Get To" all which showcase Doug's growth musically and vocally. Briney has come a long way and I'ms sure to it to continue to root for him all the way. Country is country no matter how you look at it.

Sunny Sweeney Live Stage It Show Recap

From the get go Sunny Sweeney is merely Texan born and bred, her quirky charm, sense of humor and real honest to goodness personality is what it is. On Monday's July 1st Stage It show Sweeney drinks it up and hams it up, along with her fellow musician friends and what a team they are together, musically and personally.  Much of the 35/40 minute show would and could have continued on, with the powers that be, it ended. Fans heard new material that will make it to the newest album, from the ever catchy, happy go lucky "La De Da" to the feisty, yet kickin' it "Raise Your Glass". Sweeney also performed from fan requests, "Amy" was one of them, a much personal favorite of mine. Discussing the new album was a personal highlight, there is simply no limit to Sunny's writing ability to those she has worked with and working with. The laughter was loudly contagious along with their funny antics and  a special appearance from her sock monkey, what a cutie! The most exciting moment was informing fans of a very special cause in support of Muscular Dystrophy in which all tips made by you the fans through the Stage It show would go directly to The Muscular Dystrophy Association. Top tippers would receive a t-shirt and goodie bag, the highest tipper would receive a phone call from Sunny herself. Sweeney excitedly then made the announcement she's under a new record deal and will own the rights completely, that is business savvy. "It's going to be amazing", she proclaimed.  Where there is Sunny the sun always shines and you'll have a good time, which she and her team had a good time performing not only songs from her first  album to Concrete and as well newer material. Sweeney's continued drive and musical chops have proved you can make it in country music and we'll only hear more from Sunny in years to come. Other song or songs performed during the show, Still On The Line (new) and East Texas Pines.
