Nashville’s Artist to the Stars, Corey Frizzell to Be On Hand At Rising Artist, Rachael Johnson’s Old North State Winery & Brewery Concert to Autograph Show Poster
The Frizzell family, most famous for its prominence on the Country Music Charts, is witnessing the artistic successes of the second generation. Although he has siblings following in the Frizzell music footsteps, who have accepted the challenge of emerging from the giant shadow first cast by the family music patriarch, Lefty Frizzell, Corey chose a different path, a path to create his own shadow.
Corey falls somewhere in the middle of the six children spanning four decades of Allen Frizzell, former Nashville recording artist and younger brother of the Legendary Lefty Frizzell and Country Star, David Frizzell.
Corey has been a Golden Gloves Boxing Champion, acted in music videos and cast for two roles in the original Stephen King movie, “Children of The Corn”. If that's not interesting enough, he's now a visual artist in high demand, creating custom portraits, stunning graphics and web design.
With royal country music blood running through his veins, Frizzell has come full circle and been named the Artist to the Stars for his artistic collaboration with some of Country Music, Bluegrass and Country Gospel Music's biggest names including, George Jones, Randy Travis, Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Mark Newton, Carl Jackson, Mark Chesnutt, Gene Watson and Joe Nichols to name a few.
The Old North State Winery and Brewery, located in the burgeoning Yadkin Valley wine region in a renovated 1890’s mercantile building in historic downtown Mount Airy, North Carolina, started as a cooperative in 2002 and has since evolved to a winery owned by two families with one vision.
A Nashville transplant, Rachael Johnson, grew up in the original “Mayberry”, a place memorialized in Americans’ hearts as the beloved home town on the Andy Griffith Show. Three years in TN has found Johnson as an in demand solo artist. She is currently playing 20 to 25 shows a month in Nashville, surrounding cities and states, while sharing the stage with Country Stars like Jo Dee Messina, Josh Thompson, Little Texas, Dave Gibson, Chris Young, Craig Campbell and Trent Tomlinson to name a few.
Showtime is at 8pm EST. - $10 Cover Charge - Old North State Winery & Brewery - 308 North Main St., Mt. Airy 27030.

Lyrics for Lyric Benefit Show Co-Producers Corey Frizzell & Mark Newton to be on “The WSM All Nighter” Show with Marcia Campbell
Mark and Corey will be speaking about their careers, projects and the on going Lyrics for Lyric Benefit Show they produce.
12am Thursday CST WSM 650 or on the web at http://www.wsmonline.com/shows/the-wsm-all-nighter-with-marcia-campbell/ click "Listen Live".
With a lifelong love of country music, Marcia’s broadcasting career started in the early 90’s in her hometown of Dickson, TN. She quickly moved on to host a nationally syndicated show for the Interstate Radio Network, also heard on 650 AM WSM. As her popularity grew, so did her loyal audience. After eight years on Sirius and XM trucking channels, Marcia is back home on 650 AM to host “The WSM All Nighter” show. Her theme song “All Nighter Coming” was co-written for her by her friend, multiple Grammy Award winner, Country Music Hall of Fame member and Grand Ole Opry star, Vince Gill. As a musician, singer and songwriter herself, she has a deep respect for those she interviews.
Marcia has been square dancing on the Grand Ole Opry since she was 13. Her dancing talents have taken her around the world, but you can see her perform every Saturday night on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry. You can actually hear her dance on songs like “Shady Grove” by Ricky Skaggs and Dolly Parton’s “He’s Gonna Marry Me.” But the best way to hear her bright, positive, magnetic personality is when the microphone opens each and every Sunday through Thursday night between midnight and 5:30 a.m.

The creative monocure, Lyrics for Lyric was the design of Tina.

In 1999 tragedy struck when Van was diagnosed with melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer.
In 2001 after a long courageous fight Van lost his battle. Henry and Dave have since followed through with his dying wish that BlackHawk continue to make great music and that they try and help find a cure. They established the Van Stephenson Memorial Cancer Research Fund in his memory, donating the proceeds of their efforts to the Vanderbilt Cancer Research Center. They continue to write and record new music and with their incredible band continue to spread BlackHawk's unique musical message. BlackHawk's faithful followers have continued to grow in numbers over the years based on the consistency of quality in their live show. Night after night BlackHawk puts on an inspired performance that resonates in the hearts and minds of music enthusiasts everywhere.

Nashville’s Artist to the Stars, Corey Frizzell to be on the At Home with Victoria Radio Show
Emmy Award winning TV Journalist, Media Personality and News Anchor/Reporter, Victoria Gaither and her Entertainment Co-Host/ Producer Michael Kay, brings the newest and exciting actors, singers, writers and producers to the At Home with Victoria radio show. The show also focuses on helping non-profits and community groups get the word out about their programs & projects.
To hear the interview live, tune in September 8th, 2011 at 8pm EST, online at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/
The Frizzell family, most famous for its prominence on the Country Music Charts, is now witnessing the artistic successes of the second generation. Although he has siblings following in the Frizzell music footsteps, who have accepted the challenge of emerging from the giant shadow first cast by the family music patriarch, Lefty Frizzell, Corey chose a different path, a path to create his own shadow.
Corey falls somewhere in the middle of the six children spanning four decades of Allen Frizzell, former Nashville recording artist and younger brother of the Legendary Lefty Frizzell and Country Star, David Frizzell. As the nephew of Lefty & David and the son Allen Frizzell, Corey, is proud of his musical heritage, but took a very different path, one not filled with creating music but instead with art and boxing. Although Corey's passion for boxing kept this former Golden Gloves Champion in and out of the ring for a decade, his love for drawing has always been there. Over the years he perfected his craft, starting with cartoons and now creating portraits for the general public. In 2006, Frizzell came full circle when he started creating portraits for Country Music stars like George Jones, Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, Joe Diffie, Mark Chesnutt and Willie Nelson to name a few. Although Frizzell’s portraits hang on the walls of many legendary Country Music Stars and writers, his works can also be found on display in many public venues like the KY Music Hall of Fame, Nashville’s Sun Records Museum and the world famous Nashville Palace. Frizzell has also ventured in to writing, management, graphic and web design, catering to the Country, Bluegrass and Gospel music industries. It looks like Frizzell found his niche, carrying on the family name while blazing a path of his own.

Easton Corbin Producer, Carson Chamberlain to Produce Chris Caskey’s Freshman Album
Carson Chamberlain, a native of Berea, Kentucky, started professionally in the music business as a musician and bandleader for Keith Whitley. After Keith’s untimely death in 1989, he became tour manager for Clint Black, and more recently he held the position of tour manager for Alan Jackson. In April of 1994, Carson took the position as Director of A&R for Mercury Nashville and was promoted to VP of A&R until his departure. Now Chamberlain is focusing all of his energy on writing and producing.
As a BMI songwriter, Chamberlain has penned several number one singles for Alan Jackson such as “Love’s Got A Hold On You,” Everything I Love,” and “Between The Devil And Me.” His penned song, “The Best Day,” the first single release from George Strait’s Greatest Hits LP, quickly moved up the charts and stayed at #1 for three weeks. “The Best Day” is now part of George Strait’s multi-platinum hits package entitled 50 Number Ones.
As a record producer, he has had other #1 success with the Mark Wills’ singles “I Do (Cherish You),” “Don’t Laugh At Me,” and “Wish You Were Here,” all #1 songs from his platinum-selling LP entitled “Wish You Were Here.” Mark’s first single “Back At One” from the last Chamberlain-produced LP entitled Permanently, quickly went to #1 on the charts.
In 2002, Chamberlain produced the Billy Currington’s debut album for Mercury Records. Chamberlain also co-wrote the hit singles “Walk A Little Straighter” and “I Got a Feelin’” with Currington. Both songs were Top 10 successes for Currington. More recently Chaimberlain produced Easton Corbin’s self-titled debut album.
Other artists who have covered Carson’s songs include Travis Tritt, John Michael Montgomery, Billy Ray Cyrus, Keith Stegall, Don Williams, Gary Allan, Chad Brock and The Lynns.
Caskey started performing with his first band at the age of 11. After sending his demos to Nashville Producers, Publishers and Record Labels, he caught the ear of Bob Stegall at Jen Eri Lin Music Publishing and made the move to Nashville where he would eventually land an artist development deal with Mercury Records in 1998 but the deal would eventually be cut short. He continued to perform with various bands across KY and found himself being rediscovered nearly ten years later in August of 2009 by Nashville’s Artist to the Stars, Corey Frizzell.
By November of 2010 Frizzell successfully attained investment and put together a winning team to record, market and promote Caskey, launching his first single “God’s Pocket” to radio, debuting in January of 2011 on TCM Records and promoted to radio by leading radio promotional company, Double E Promotions. “God’s Pocket” has jumped thirty spots to number fifty two on the National Christian Voice Christian Country Top 100 for July of 2011.

Press Release - Frizzell Creates NMG Magazine May Cover
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Nashville's Artist to the Stars, Corey Frizzell Creates
Nashville Music Guide Magazine's May Cover
Nashville, TN – Nashville's Artist to the Stars, Corey Frizzell has been retained by the Nashville based music magazine, Nashville Music Guide to create the May 2011 Cover.
"Frizzell is quickly becoming the go to guy in Nashville for music related art. From fine art portraits of the stars for the stars to show posters and websites, everywhere you turn, Frizzell's name seems to be on it." – Randy Matthews, NMG
When Randy Matthews purchased the Nashville Music Guide from co-founder Dan Wunsch earlier this year, Matthews was carrying on and even expanding a proud tradition of superb service to the Nashville music community that began 15 years ago.
Since 1995 music people in Nashville and around the world have known that the NMG is "publicizing singers, musicians, and writers to Music Row and beyond," as each issue declares on its cover. Best of all, NMG doesn't just promote and write about the tiny number of artists and writers who have major-label deals or staff songwriter contracts. It has always helped the thousands of lesser known Nashville singers, players, and writers who toil year in and year with little or no recognition.
The Frizzell family, most famous for its prominence on the Country Music Charts, is now witnessing the artistic successes of the second generation. Although he has siblings following in the Frizzell music footsteps, who have accepted the challenge of emerging from the giant shadow first cast by the family music patriarch, Lefty Frizzell, Corey chose a different path, a path to create his own shadow.
Corey falls somewhere in the middle of the six children spanning four decades of Allen Frizzell, former Nashville recording artist and younger brother of the Legendary Lefty Frizzell and Country Star, David Frizzell. As the nephew of Lefty & David and the son Allen Frizzell, Corey, is proud of his musical heritage, but took a very different path, one not filled with creating music but instead with art and boxing.

Frizzell to Produce Keith Whitley Tribute Show with the Kentucky Blue Band Featuring TCM Records Artist, Chris Caskey & Original Miami Band Member, Randy Hayes
Frizzell may be best known for his artistic collaboration with some of today’s biggest names in Country, Bluegrass and Gospel music but he also happens to have Country Music blood running through his veins. As the nephew of Country Stars, David & Lefty Frizzell and the son of Country Gospel Artist, Allen Frizzell, former husband to Shelly West, daughter of the late great Dottie West, Corey knows a great singer when he hears one. And that’s what he hears in KY native, Chris Caskey.
After first hearing Caskey at an event at the KY Music Hall of Fame in Aug of 09’, Frizzell quickly began working in Nashville to put a Chris Caskey project together. By November of this year Frizzell successfully attained investment and put together a winning team to record, market and promote Caskey, launching his first single “God’s Pocket” to radio on TCM Records.
“The Whitley and Frizzell families go way back. Keith was a huge fan of uncle Lefty and recorded with my dad, Allen. It means a lot to me to be able to put this show on and pay tribute to such a great artist. Although Caskey has a single currently on the national radio charts and is recording his first solo album with Easton Corbin Producer, Carson Chamberlain, he’s also a perfect fit to front the Kentucky Blue band for this special Whitley tribute show. I can’t think of anyone else on the planet that could pay a better tribute to Whitley than Chris.” – Corey Frizzell
“When I do the tribute shows it’s not just a tribute, it’s also the band and I trying to keep Keith's music and his memory alive and remind people about just how great of a singer he was. His tone, trills and emotion were the things that really set him way out in front of other singers and made me want to start singing. Being able to do these shows and seeing people really loving it is an honor. Being compared to Keith, who was in my opinion the greatest country singer ever, is a big shoe to fill but a great compliment to me and my singing.” – Chris Caskey
“I'd have to say Keith was probably the finest person I'd ever met, always a smile and a laugh. He was always playing pranks on the band members and they seemed to fall for it everytime. I learned early after my first encounter with the Whitley humor. But it was a damn good one. I truly loved the man and he loved me. There'll always be a huge hole in my heart.” – Randy Hayes
For those that can't make the show in person, you can tune into Nixa Country Radio to listen live at http://www.nixacountry.com/

Nashville’s Artist to the Stars, Corey Frizzell to Emcee Double E Promotions Showcases At 1st Annual CGM Fan Fest & Award Show
Nashville based, Artist to the Stars, Corey Frizzell will emcee the Double E Promotions showcases at the 1st Annual CGM Fan Fest and Awards Show, held at the Smoky Mountain Convention Center in Pigeon Forge, TN.The Double E showcases will feature their star studded roster including, Marty Raybon, Chris Caskey, The Waymasters, Clinton Gregory, Johnny Jones, Jennifer Brantley, Eddie Gordon, Rene Jones, Hannah Faith, John Penney, Jeff Stansberry and Gerald Smith. Fans will be able to stop by the Double E booth for a meet and greet after the showcase.
The Frizzell family, most famous for its prominence on the Country Music Charts, is now witnessing the artistic successes of the second generation. Although he has siblings following in the Frizzell music footsteps, who have accepted the challenge of emerging from the giant shadow first cast by the family music patriarch, Lefty Frizzell, Corey chose a different path, a path to create his own shadow.
Corey falls somewhere in the middle of the six children spanning four decades of Allen Frizzell, former Nashville recording artist and younger brother of the Legendary Lefty Frizzell and Country Star, David Frizzell. As the nephew of Lefty & David and the son Allen Frizzell, Corey, is proud of his musical heritage, but took a very different path, one not filled with creating music but instead with art and boxing. Although Corey's passion for boxing kept this former Golden Gloves Champion in and out of the ring for a decade, his love for drawing has always been there. Over the years he perfected his craft, starting with cartoons and now creating portraits for the general public. In 2006, Frizzell came full circle when he started creating portraits for Country Music stars like George Jones, Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, Joe Diffie, Mark Chesnutt and Willie Nelson to name a few. Although Frizzell’s portraits hang on the walls of many legendary Country Music Stars and writers, his works can also be found on display in many public venues like the KY Music Hall of Fame, Nashville’s Sun Records Museum and the world famous Nashville Palace. Frizzell has also ventured in to writing, management, graphic and web design, catering to the Country, Bluegrass and Gospel music industries. It looks like Frizzell found his niche, carrying on the family name while blazing a path of his own.

Thanks,

The Nashville Music Guide Magazine and the Famed, Picks Nashville are proud to announce the March 23rd Lyrics for Lyric show, hosted by Award Winning, Stylist/ Musician, Mark Newton will be headlined by Grascals lead singer, Jamie Johnson and have a preshow jam packed with hit song writers.
March's Lyrics for Lyric will be the fith installment of the series of shows to benefit Lyric Alana Frizzell, whom was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of Leukemia at 10 months old, featuring such stars in the past as Ken Mellons, Trent Tomlinson, Michael Peterson, Whitney Duncan and Billy Yates.
The show will be hosted by IBMA Award winning Stylist/ Musician, Mark Newton, one of today's most respected interpreters of bluegrass music, whom has received acclaimed reviews for his 2006 Hillbilly Hemingway album. Mark is also great friends with featured artist and lead singer of the Grascals, Jamie Johnson, whom has had recent Billboard success with his song and video, "I Am Strong", which pays tribute to children suffering from cancer like Lyric.
On July 28th, 2009, at ten months old, Lyric Alana Frizzell, daughter of Crystal and Artist to the Stars, Corey Frizzell was diagnosed with an aggressive, rare form of Leukemia and was just hours from losing her life. Not only was it a parent's worst nightmare to hear the dreaded words "Cancer", but to soon find out that Lyric is the only documented case in history to have her form of Leukemia was unfathomable. She has endured six months of chemo, deadly infections and months of seclusion from family and friends in a protected, filtrated wing of the hospital for immune suppressed patients at the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, Myelosuppression Unit.
Lyric is now celebrating being declared in a partial remission from the Leukemia but frequents the Vanderbilt Cancer Clinic monthly and will continue to do so for the next four years to monitor her immune system and blood counts. If she can avoid a relapse during this period, having the greatest chance for one during the next year, she will be declared in full remission.
Songwriters appearing throughout the night will be Bryant Meltzer, Cowboy Slim, Lee Akers, JW Combs, Adrian Mahan, Analissa Garrett, Jenae Cherry, Tony Boatwright Jr, Josh Beal, Rachael Johnson, Lance Carpenter, Arlos Smith, Mary Hartman, Tommy Sutherland, Doug McCormick, James Slater, Bernie Nelson, Eddie Heinzelman, Jamie Burke, Rachael Hester, Claire Dunn and Melody Guy. A portion of the night's proceeds will be donated to the Lyric Frizzell Fund, to offset the costs incurred during the two year olds cancer treatment at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital.
The Grascals are among the most beloved and acclaimed bands on today's bluegrass scene, having won SPBGMA's Bluegrass Band of the Year award in 2010, the International Bluegrass Music Association's Emerging Artist of the Year award in 2005 and earning its Entertainer of the Year honor in both 2006 and 2007.
The story behind the song… Jamie Johnson on "I Am Strong" Back in February of 2010 I made a trip with The Grascals to present a check to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis TN, raised by The MACC Festival held in Columbus, Ohio each year and little did I know my life would change forever with this visit. I was nervous and a bit scared from the moment I walked through the front doors of the hospital, afraid of what I might see. I knew that St. Jude was a Children's Hospital where children are fighting the terrible disease of cancer. Having my beautiful son Cole Train who is now 2 years old, thoughts were constantly running through my head as I watched young parents and their little boy or girl fighting for their lives. Many times I fought back tears and I just wanted to give them a hug for encouragement. If you've never been to St. Jude, do yourself a favor and go see these great teams of doctors show their dedicated love and determination to find cures for this disease. And go see some of the strongest people (the children) you'll ever meet in your life! And if it's still there, go see the wall of the alphabet where "I am Strong" was inspired. The Letter "S" stands for strong. I am more proud of this song than any other work I have created in my life and so thankful for getting to write it with my beautiful wife Susanne Mumpower-Johnson and our great friend Jenee Fleenor. To the children of St. Jude and any child fighting cancer anywhere in this world, The Grascals love you and pray for you every day! Thanks for showing us the real meaning of "Strong"! - Jamie Johnson
