BLUEGRASS NEWS
Bluegrass phenom Rhonda Vincent, a seven-time IBMA
Female Vocalist of the Year, was admitted to a hospital with scurvy today after
apparently subsisting solely on biscuits since 2000. When she signed a
sponsorship deal with the Martha White flour company at the turn of the
millennium, Vincent reportedly did not understand that the company intended to
pay her only in free product for the duration of her professional life. But the
singer’s Midwestern ethos of letting nothing go to waste kicked in, and the
rest is history.
Rhonda Vincent also caught a crook with hidden camera. A
convicted thief, who once worked for a premier tour bus company, admitted to
the Channel 4 I-Team that he "made mistakes" when he stole money from
a safe in the tour bus of bluegrass music star Rhonda Vincent.

“OK, this is me
being crazy excited. I just found out that my song IF ONLY is #3 on the Top 200 Country chart in
Europe and #1 on the Top 40 single
chart” shared Sherry Kennedy!
International Mainstream Top 40 Chart

She writes: "I am addicted to acrylic abstract. Whenever
I put on music, I let myself go and all of a sudden a life begins to take form
on canvas. I love it!!" Check out her Facebook Gallery Photos
Kennedy, whose
first music teacher was Daisy Young of Fort Macleod, is comfortable in a range
of genres, from gospel to blues, rock to jazz and country to musical theatre.
Congrats Sherry!
The “long-awaited” new album LITTLE SECRET was recorded in Nashville in fall 2012 and the tracks immediately got attention upon release in more than a dozen countries world wide. The 12 song CD includes 5 of Sherry's own material Think of Me, >> “Don't Touch Me Please”, “The Legend of Rainbow Powers”, “Little Secret” and “Do You Love Him”. There are also some great cover tunes and a couple of tunes written by Nashville songwriters, Tom Paden and Richard Fagin.
This a high energy
Country Pop album. The vocal and music production are excellent. This album
goes from sweet to tender with a few traditional influences and then onto edgy
power to powerhouse.
“Little
Secret" (originally released 5 Nov 2012; Label: Sheaken Records) was
recorded in Nashville and produced by “Magic Man” Mark Moseley
(Trisha Yearwood, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson). The album production includes a
stellar band of session musicians including: multiple award winner and Grammy
winning Brent Mason (electric guitar),
five time Grammy winner Gordon Mote (piano), Tommy Wells (drums and
percussion), Duncan Mullins (bass guitar), Larry Beaird (acoustic guitar),
Wanda Vick (fiddle and mandolin), Rodger Morris (keyboards) and Leanne
Steinhauer, Melissa Duvall and Billy Davis provided background vocals for the
title cut.
The collaboration
took 10 days in the studio in Nashville. Kennedy was thrilled with the creative process - “The process was amazing,” Kennedy said. Kennedy also took part in a photo
shoot that took place in an abandoned car wash owned by a woman who turned the
building into a studio for graffiti artists. The resulting photos (image) are seen on the attractive CD cover.
“We decided we were going to pick five of my
songs, and then we would pick some of my favourite cover songs.”
Kennedy’s songs on
the CD are the title track "Little Secret", "Think of Me",
"Don’t Touch Me Please", "Do You Love Him" and "The
Legend of Rainbow Powers". The latter is tied to Kennedy’s youth in Fort
Macleod. Rainbow Powers was a woman from Granum who was well-known in Fort
Macleod for her colourful appearance and the candy she would hand out to
children.
The first single
from the release titled "Think Of Me" received air play across Canada
in 20 plus markets on "commercial country radio". Kennedy and Moseley
worked together for three months in preparation for recording the songs.
Sherry and friends
delivered “captivating and electric performances” on February 7 and 8, 2013 at
the Engineered Air Theatre in the EPCOR Centre for Performing Arts. The event
was her CD Release Party which marked
Kennedy’s tenth and her first country album to be released in Canada.
“I think the songs I’ve written are more
rootsy country, or blues,” Kennedy said. “That’s kind of my roots as well.”
The CD Release
Party also featured Calgary musicians Derek Stoll (bass/musical director), Dave
Hamilton (electric guitar/acoustic guitar), Keith Day (keyboards), Gavin
Sorochan (drums), Denis Dufresne (acoustic guitar/mandolin) and Barbara
Olorenshaw (fiddle). Lisa Ryan, Gemira McClary, Maureen MacDonald and Chris
Herard lent their talents as back up vocalists, while Artists Elite lit up the
stage with some fancy footwork....Read Full Review

when she stepped into Country music’s hallowed circle, marking the
25-year-old Calgary native’s Grand Ole Opry debut. The Stoney Creek
Records artist performed her critically-lauded debut single “Trippin’ On

stars Hunter Hayes, Jana Kramer and Nashville’s Sam Palladio, among others.
Ell performed three songs total, showing off her musical prowess with
performances on both electric and acoustic guitar.

- Country’s Most Voracious Youth Market? You Might Be Surprised….As country
music’s audience skews younger than at any time in its history, what city
has the genre’s most fervent 20-something fans? The obvious choices might
include Nashville, recognized as country’s business center; Dallas, a
stronghold in the center of cowboy proud Texas; or Los Angeles, where KKGO
— and KZLA before it — has frequently billed itself as “America’s
most-listened-to country station.” Per capita, however, the title actually
belongs to Evansville, Indiana, according to a study conducted by

"Working at The Voice, I've
heard and been exposed to so much music," Blake says. "So many
different genres. So many sounds. So many things that I don't like. So
many things that I found out that I do like, and it's just been a

Could 'Nashville' production
be leaving for Austin? Executives
from the ABC television series "Nashville" have explored moving the
production to other states, amid ongoing talks with local officials about an economic
incentive package for a third season. There's little doubt that if ABC picks up
"Nashville" for a third season, the combined economic incentives from
state and local government will be less lucrative than the show received for
the first two seasons. Read More at The Tennessean

said the harmony-driven vocal group is to being finished with its much anticipated new album.
The collection is the follow-up to the group's platinum-selling TORNADO.
"I am so excited I can hardly stand it," she
said. "It's going to be great, I think — if you ask me."
The band worked on the project with producer Jay

similar but is "a little bit of an evolution into what could possibly
happen next."

Carrie Underwood attended the 2014 Time 100 Gala held at Frederick P. Rose Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center on Tuesday (April 29) in New York City alongside Amy Adams (honouree). Politicians, actors, musicians, business leaders and others gather in New York to celebrate the TIME 100.
Carrie was joined at the gala by her hockey player
husband Mike Fisher – Getty Images. Every year TIME Magazine
selects one hundred people that they feel are the most influential, and Miss
Carrie Underwood made the list for 2014!
This comes as no surprise, as Carrie is the true
example of the American dream. If you go back in time to 2005, Carrie had just
competed on “American Idol” and won the competition, and then had her first
number one song. “So many young girls
want to be just like her. In that sense, I see hope for the world. If I had a
daughter, nothing would make me happier than to hear her say she wanted to grow
up to be like Carrie Underwood,” fellow country singer Brad Paisley wrote
for her piece in the Time 100 issue.
