FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Parties A Plenty on
GAC's "Country Music Across America"
(NASHVILLE, TENN)
April 3, 2007..."Country Music Across America" host Storme Warren was born with a party tracking device in his DNA so it's no surprise that this week's episode - Thursday, April 5, 9:00 pm ET on Great American Country - is chock full of behind the scenes features from some of Music Row's recent exclusive get togethers.
With the all-star blowout commemorating his 39th birthday, one can only imagine what the big 4-0 will be like for Kenny Chesney. It was flip flops optional as he and pals including Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Kix Brooks, Gretchen Wilson, Montgomery Gentry and Jewel gathered at the Tin Roof near Nashville's Music Row for a celebration that included a live performance of the most eclectic variety.
Former Tin Roof regular, rising star Sarah Buxton, talks with Warren about the amazing start to her career and how the watering hole is a place to see and be seen, especially during the warmer weather season.
Rodney Atkins' 38th birthday was a combination celebration marking not only his special day, but his No. 1 hit, "Watching You," and his recent platinum album. Atkins also received the keys to a 1969 International Scout, the same vehicle that appeared in his last two music videos.
Warren kept the party train a rolling, stopping at Brad Paisley's No. 1 celebration for "She's Everything." The proud new papa talks about the fact that his new role as dad and his hit love ballad both fit nicely into his newest single, "Ticks." "One is about the conception and the other's about the birth," Paisley noted laughing.
And an artist who's had a long career of celebrations, Randy Travis, sits down with Warren to talk about his country music comeback. After recent success in the gospel music world, Travis is back in the studio with longtime producer Kyle Lehning. He chats openly about how he and country music have changed since he broke on the scene 21 years ago.
Kellie Pickler shares the powerful story behind her new single, "I Wonder," and fellow "American Idol" alum, Bucky Covington, talks about how he and producer (and Sawyer Brown front man) Mark Miller hooked up.
