Watch Country Music Across America on GAC TV!

From High in the Rockies to Just Down The Street: GAC's "Country Music Across America" Has Got You Covered
Put stars like Kenny Loggins, Little Big Town and Richard Marx together at a Rocky Mountain ski resort, turn them loose on the slopes by day and on various stages around town by night and you've got the annual Country in the Rockies fundraiser. The music and ski event raises funds for two Nashville cancer research facilities under the T.J. Martell Foundation umbrella. With no arm twisting at all, host Storme Warren found time in his busy schedule to join artists and songwriters in Steamboat Springs for the 13th annual event and you can catch him in action this Thursday, February 8, 9:00 PM (ET) on GAC.

Among the top items auctioned at the event was the original handwritten and signed lyric book for "The Cure," the song that was collaborated on by many of country music's top stars on the red carpet of the CMA Awards this past November. According to BMI, it is the largest published songwriting collaboration in history. The song which went for $20,000 was put to music by award-winning writer Monty Powell.

Crystal Gayle came close to having to hop for a new bus after a recent bus-nabbing. Her 45-foot Prevost was stolen in Nashville by escaped felon Christopher Gay but the bus and Gay were eventually found in Florida. "I'm just glad no one was hurt," Gayle says of the incident.

High Speed Bachelor

While we don't know if he can carry a tune, tire magnate, wine maker and TV bachelor Andrew Firestone showed his need for speed as he took Storme on a tour of his family's Bridgestone Winter Driving School near Steamboat Springs. "Turn off the engine and get out of the car" was Firestone's only advice to Storme before the two engaged in a some slippery road competition.
