MORE GOOD STUFF…with Martina, Craig & Chris, and…the French!
- We just saw the ever-fabulous Martina McBride performing on The Oprah Winfrey Show this past Monday, and she’ll be back on Oprah this Tuesday, November 3rd! Oprah invited her to be part of a special “first jobs” episode, which will find Martina once again dishing the goodness from behind the counter of a Kansas Dairy Queen! Tune-in for a fun trip down Martina’s memory lane…check your local TV schedule, or visit oprah.com/locallistings to catch the show in your area!
- A thanks to Craig and Chris: Craig Morgan and Chris Young have been visiting our servicemen and women overseas, performing in hospitals and military bases in Iraq and Germany, and a recent letter from a serviceman to his hometown radio station expressed the depth of his appreciation for the trip. Stationed on a small combat outpost in Iraq, he wrote that celebrity visits often bypass his location. “This time it was different though,” he wrote. “They signed autographs, took pictures and performed for us, it was great. I made sure to thank them for taking the time to come see us and support us. I just wanted to share this story with folks back home because they were truly gracious and I don’t think most people know how far some stars are willing to go to show their support.” Hosted by GAC’s Nan Kelley, the Stars for Stripes tour is being documented to also share with fans back home, with a one-hour GAC special set to air in December.
- The French Association of Country Music has announced the winners of the 7th French Country Music Awards! Among the top honors, Best Entertainer of the Year is Brad Paisley, who also won Best Album of the Year (for American Saturday Night), and Best Musician. Best Male Vocalist of the Year went to Alan Jackson, and Sara Evans took home Female Vocalist, while Kenny Chesney earned a double win, for Best Duo (for “Down the Road” with Mac McAnally) and Best Song (“Out Last Night”).
