ANOTHER NEW BABY

Congrats to Randy Houser and his wife Jessa Lee! Their first child, a boy, was born March 6th. He weighed 6 lbs, 11oz and was 19 inches long. No word on the baby's name yet. Randy just signed with Stoney Creed Records so we should have a new single from him in May.

SUGARLAND CONCERTS

This summer the show will be called the In the Hands of the Fans Tour and that's because they will be taking our requests! We can text, Facebook, tweet and callin our song requests. Jennifer Nettles says, "If it's on one of our records or if we've played it on stage it is fair game."

That is very, exciting news! And a great way to take advantage of the technology that we have.

Sugarland will be playing Country USA in Oshkosh on June 21st, Country Fest in Cadott on June 22nd, and if you feel like traveling, they'll play Chicago on June 23rd.

Randy Montana and his wife Montgomery welcomed Sullivan Mae on Monday February 27th. She was 8lbs., 4 oz, and measured 19 1/2 inches long.

MAVERICKS NEWS

They will be giving us some new music! The Mavericks signed a record deal with Valory and will release an album late in 2012. It's the 20th anniversary of their debut self-titled album. They do plan to tour North America and Europe this summer - their first public performances since 2003.

I can't wait to get new music from The Mavericks and play it for you!

GOOGLE HELPS COUNTRY FANS

This is pretty cool. Google has added a new feature to their search page. We can just enter our fav artist and Google provides us with a list of upcoming tour dates in our area! We'll be able to see dates, the venue and links to where we can get tickets. Now that is awesome.

LADY ANTEBELLUM AT YOUR PROM

Junior, Senior, or for us graduates Reunion! WOOT!

Lady A is having a contest where you could win a 45 minutes concert at your prom. This was all inspired by their most awesome new single "Dancin' Away With My Heart" from their Own the Night album. When they wrote the song they were thinking of their proms.

If you would like to win Lady A at your prom (and the winner gets to meet the band before the show) record a video expressing why you want that to happen and upload it to YouTube and send the link to Contests@LadyAntebellum.com

It would be great if you would send that video my way as well - I would share it with lots and lots of people!
