WQMX 94.9 FM Your Station! Your Country! Hosts Charity Event Chicks For Picks

On a chilly October evening while most are at home relaxing watching TV breast cancer survivors, cancer survivors and country music fans came together for one special night to bring to light the importance of breast cancer awareness. Akron's Country 94.9FM WQMX Your Station! Your Country! hosted the charity benefit Chicks For Picks featuring country artists Maggie Rose, Lauren Alania and Jana Kramer. Stories were shared and memories created from the live event held at Tangiers event and entertainment center in Akron, Ohio Tuesday evening October 9,2012 to a sold out crowd of men and women of all ages. All three young ladies graced the stage close enough to reach out and touch you and that they did, evenly enough shared their own stories of the songs they performed during the live event.

Quickly Maggie, Jana, and Lauren took to the stage at once, personality and host of Wynn and Wilson In The Morning Scott Wynn welcomed quests who encouraged all cancer survivors to stand to be honored, "this is what it's about tonight", explains Wynn. The applause was a victorious one.  Wynn shortly turned the festivities over to the ladies, Maggie Rose is no new comer who's had previous success in radio, however this time around she's doing things her way. In repetition  Maggie, Jana, and Lauren each perform, Maggie opened with "Fall Madly In Love With You" and "Mostly Bad" tracks that will be released from her debut album. Jana Kramer is most recognized for her role on the CW's One Tree Hill, however I must admit not a follower of the show, I apologize for my lack of One Tree Hill facts. Jana quickly recognizes the cause, "I want to thank you all for donating to this cause, it hits so close to home to me, the woman in my life my friend, she's a second mom to me she has battled with breast cancer, this song is for her and everyone who will never give up", this is "I Won't Give Up"."Ya'll are going to make me cry", Alaina points out to those in front, turning her head away through Kramer's performance, after. "Let me just sing now", Lauren protests. Lauren Alaina is best known from her American Idol days and although didn't win her season on the show has experienced more highlights and moments in the past year than those who are seasoned professionals. Alaina performs "The Locket" a track from her Wildflower album. Maggie quickly jumps into her next performance of her song "Put Yourself In My Boots" before  sharing the story of her guitarist Kyane, his mother who has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and currently under going chemo and radiation treatments. Following up with Jana performing  her new single coming to country radio November 5th "Whiskey". "I'm only 17, I can't sing about whiskey, I will sing this song called "Tupelo", Alaina explains. "I love this song of your's", Kramer proclaims. The stories continue with Maggie explaining the story behind her song "Preachers Daughter" that has this swampy mystery murder vibe. For one if I go into further detail of the event, we'd have a novel on our hands, I'm just saying. The sisterly banter continues between Kramer and Alaina, in which the girls discuss the Dixie Chicks. "Have you even heard of the Dixie Chicks"?, Jana asks Lauren. "Yeah, I was 4"! Lauren proclaims laughing.  Among the sisterly bantering Jana performs " I Hope It Rains" a track from her debut album, then to Lauren performing her newly released single "Eighteen Inches" who tells the audience how much it meant to have the song on her album, It's co-writer Carrie Underwood has taken Lauren under her wing the little sister getting taken care from Underwood's guidance. Maggie closed her performances with her new single now on country radio "I Ain't Your Mama", telling the audience you can find her on Twiter @IAmMaggieRose "I am Maggie Rose not @IAmMaggieRose", she chuckles as well to follow her on Facebook Maggie Rose, Maggie Rose Music. Jana closes her performances with the debut single that has put her on the country map "Why Ya Wanna". "I can't thank you all enough for the year I've had with this single, thank you WQMX, I can't thank everyone enough for making this what it is", Kramer  so humbly explains. Lauren closed her performances with "Georgia Peaches" which leads to an impromptu dance on stage with some well deserving fans.
This was a night to remember and one many will remember, proceeds from this event will provide free mammograms for women and men who can't afford them. I can't thank WQMX enough for putting this event together for such a great cause, I too have been effected by breast cancer, as my own mother has survived breast cancer twice.
Thank you so very much Maggie, Jana and Lauren for coming to Akron, you will be well promoted and encouraged at Country Music City Promotions.

Live With Jerrod Niemann From Livestream Recap

 Photo Credited To Arista Nashville

Jerrod Niemann is beyond a talented artist, the singer songwriter has penned material with writers Jamey Johnson, Lee Brice and Randy Houser all who have found success in country music. Niemann spent his Wednesday afternoon online live to answer fans questions and perform new material from his sophomore album Free The Music including hits from his first album Judge Jerrod and The Hung Jury. Jerrod spoke candidly how this new album came together and it's research. "Obviously, I was influenced to interpret horns, harmonica and flute on this album", Niemann explains to fans. From one song performed " Get On Up" has those horns, harmonica and flute sound, this song people will relate to,it comes across in the lyrics. "What Do You Want From Me" is a fan favorite Niemann performed discussing how autobiographical it is, the lessons you learn from an ex-girlfriend. Fans asked Niemann who inspires him, his biggest influence, favorite holiday, dream collaborations and more. On Free The Music Colbie Caillat joins Jerrod in one callaboration, "she has this aura about her" Niemann explains, as most of my dream collaborations have passed on,although I won't count out Lee Brice, Jamey Johnson and Randy Houser who I have collaborated with and will in the future. Lefty Frizell he's by far my biggest influence, Jerrod says with a grin. "Christmas seems to be the one holiday where people come together,I'm away so often that when Christmas comes I'm happy to be home, it's a magical time of year, I really like the Christmas season",he tells fans. Aside from performing and writing songs Jerrod loves to hang out on his tour bus with the band and watch sports, "I'm a big sports fan", Neimann enthusiastically explains. His eyes lit up during the live session when it came to discussing the new album and how different this album is from it's first. "There are three versions of this album, disc, vinyl and digital album. I want to really get this out to the fans and broad audience.  One question a fan asked Niemann, what advice he would give to aspiring musicians and writers truly spoke to me, as I'm a writer myself. "Music is art, there are no rules, learn your fundamentals, what you know and be yourself", he said. Music is art, yes it is, there is that sense of freedom when it comes to writing, it's untamed I tell people, always be yourself and know what you write about,it's connecting with your audience. Speaking from my own perspective I had to add that piece folks. A quote Niemann lives by, "We don't choose music, it chooses us", and admits he couldn't remember the writer of the quote. Another question came up regarding the Blake Shelton Cruise in October, Jerrod smiles and says "I've never been on a cruise, it's going to be fun, it will take time to recover from once it's all done with". A fan favorite question I like to add are the bands Niemann enjoys listening to, "I enjoy all bands, just watched a WallFlower show last night". Niemann plugs fellow artists and collaborators Lee Brice and Jamey Johnson he tells fans, "Definately check out Lee Brice's "Hard To Love" and Jamey Johnson who has a new album coming out, you'll want to check it out". Other songs chosen to perform during the live chat and session "Lover Lover", "One More Drinking Song" and "Only God Could Love You More" from this new album. Jerrod  will be performing and doing live bar and clubs for the remainder of 2012 and to continue promoting the new album in stores now. Jerrod will take time of during the Christmas season.

Introducing Doug Briney

 Country isn't cool without having a positive effect on others. For Doug Briney words of wisdom is his star and he makes note of it in song, from his version of Ronnie Dunn's "Bleed Red" Briney's character shines. The Anchorage Alaska based musician and minister connects to a general audience. It is one's voice that makes a difference and that is Doug Briney.Briney is no stranger to the stage who performs across the cold climate of Alaska and beyond.Doug may not be your typical current contemporary artist either, independently Doug has a mass market of followers and friends. His vocal style is his own, he who sets the path. Briney reminds us the days when country wasn't cool, I applaud Doug for his traditional country sound. Legendary artist Johnny Cash spoke to a crowd in only words from those songs we remember so well, Ring of Fire and Jackson, words leave an ever lasting effect on others, Briney does just that. The Christian Country appeal may not however be everyone's cup of tea although Briney makes a true impact on listeners. Currently Doug is establishing himself in the right places and with those following suit we'll see more of Briney to make the leap from Anchorage to Nashville. Doug is better known for his singles "More Than Just A Farm" and " It's All Country" from his debut release. Briney's influences isn't a far stretch who range from Kenny Rogers, Lee Greenwood, The Gatlin Brothers to more of today's artists, Toby Keith, Trace Adkins, Chris Young and Josh Turner all who carry the traditional country sound. Truly, Doug Briney is one to look to as a new rising star.
