Tim McGraw and Faith Hill Croon With Edwina and Chantelle

 

The beloved 'first couple' of county music, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, once again graced the 2014 American Country Awards with a soulful duet this past April, this time featured on a distinctive pair of Ear Trumpet Labs microphones.  McGraw started out the brand new song ‘Meanwhile Back at Mama’s,’ singing solo into an E.T.L. Edwina microphone. Hill joined in at the chorus as a surprise guest, providing airy and beautiful harmonies through an E.T.L. Chantelle.  The song recalls a more old fashioned society and these vintage looking mics complete the picture.


The Ear Trumpet Lab's mics' tight cardioid polar pattern, specifically tuned for close live vocal use on the loudest of stages, were the perfect compliment for such a large live event with their natural feedback suppression and Integral silk and mesh pop filter, for effective control of plosives without loss of clarity. Their Large 26mm diaphragm condenser capsules teamed with transformerless FET fully balanced electronics provided plenty of presence while providing the smooth, sibilance suppressing top end of a fine ribbon mic.

About Gabriel Communications and Country’s Family Reunion:
Gabriel Communications, started in 1996 by long-time disc jockey Larry Black, is the producer of the popular “Country’s Family Reunion” and “Larry’s Country Diner” series.  Black first applied the “Reunion” concept to the legends of Country music in 1997. The idea was simple: bring America’s most-treasured artists together into one room to reunite and reminisce about their careers, perform signature songs and share stories while the cameras roll. The result has been pure magic, documenting hundreds of stories and performances that would have otherwise been lost. The series’ popularity has led to top-rated shows on RFD-TV and wildly successful DVD sales, spurring the creation of more than a dozen more projects and Country’s Family Reunion News (a monthly newspaper that highlights the music of yesteryear), as well as giving rise to sold-out theatre shows and ocean cruises by the ever-growing fan base.

Rising Pop/Country Star BREANNA LYNN Releases New Self-Titled Album Exclusively with iTunes – AVAILABLE NOW!

 

imageRising artist BREANNA LYNN is a rare find in the pop music scene of today. As a seemingly typical teen from a small town in Illinois, BREANNA LYNN’s natural musical ability gives her an extraordinary quality that defines her as an artist and makes her much more than your average teenager. With an increasing amount of buzz developing for her music, BREANNA LYNN will release her highly anticipated, self-titled full-length album exclusively with iTunes on March 18th, 2012. Filled with passion for sharing her musical talents, BREANNA LYNN was born to be a star. Fans can witness this shining new talent this summer—Breanna has plans to announce tour dates in the coming weeks!

For the new album, BREANNA LYNN teamed with highly credited producers like Ken Caillat (Colbie Caillat, Fleetwood Mac), Keith Follese (Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Randy Travis), and performing artist Jamie O’Neil. BREANNA LYNN was credited and featured in ‘Dorothy of OZ’, directed by Will Finn and Dan St. Pierre, scheduled to be released August 3rd, 2012 via Summertime Entertainment.

“I’m so excited to have had the amazing opportunity to work with some incredible producers on this album. They’ve helped bring my art to life,” states Breanna. “The album contains seven of my favorite songs that I’ve written along with three original songs that I wrote with Jamie O’Neal, Keith and Adrienne Follese, and Jim Cooper (Rachel Lampa, Building 429, Natalie Grant) and Tommy Collier (Katy Perry). I have my own style in writing music, but have been inspired by Demi Lovato, Stevie Nicks and Christina Perri. I’m hoping this album can give hope to those who have forgotten how to love themselves. I hope people can connect to this album as much as I can.”

imageA gifted singer and guitar virtuoso, BREANNA LYNN picked up her first guitar at the age of nine and began writing her musical autobiography in songs by the time she was just 12 years old. At the age of 15, her talent awarded her a sponsorship with Taylor Guitars. As a young child, BREANNA LYNN practiced singing notes with her aunt, a world-renowned opera singer. Her love of music and performance grew with each year, and in 3rd grade when she was chosen over every other student, including high school students, to be the lead vocalist of her school's band, BREANNA LYNN knew that music was something special to her.

Growing up in the Midwest wasn’t always easy for this talented teen, but BREANNA LYNN held on tightly to her faith in God. Her interest in music and poetry made her an outcast at school, and she often was bullied for her unique devotion to creative expression. While her peers were quick to judge her for being different, BREANNA LYNN turned to music and began to pour her heart into her very own songs. As music took on an even greater meaning in BREANNA LYNN’s life, she made a promise to herself to never let anyone make her feel like she didn’t belong. That promise proved to be the pivotal moment that ignited BREANNA LYNN’s career, and the young talent has been devoted to speaking out against anti-bullying ever since. Even as a teen, the fiercely independent BREANNA LYNN is on a mission to inspire young girls around the world to never give up hope and be who you are.

“They’re not worth pretending for,” states BREANNA LYNN. “You are so beautiful the way you are, it’d be a shame if you let them change that.”

BREANNA LYNN’s youth brings a charming energy to her original melodies, which carry BREANNA LYNN's refreshing lyrical honesty. It is this rarely found unique talent that has allowed BREANNA LYNN coveted opportunities to work with some of the most well-respected and well-known names in music. Armed with this mission to inspire and provoke through her music and an unquestionable talent, BREANNA LYNN's exciting journey as a musician has only just begun!

DOLLY PARTON TO RELEASE NEW SINGLE ‘SACRIFICE’

DOLLY PARTON TO RELEASE NEW SINGLE ‘SACRIFICE’ FROM HER ACCLAIMED “BETTER DAY" ALBUM

SECOND LEG OF U.S. DATES KICKED OFF OCTOBER 7 WILL RETURN TO SILVER SCREEN IN ‘JOYFUL NOISE’ IN JANUARY

Iconic singer, songwriter, musician, actress and philanthropist DOLLY PARTON is set to release “Sacrifice,” the second single from her critically acclaimed latest album BETTER DAY (Dolly Records, distributed through Warner Music Nashville). The new single coincides with a second leg of U.S. tour dates, which kicked off this past Friday, October 7 and wraps October 18 in Florida.

Of the new song, DOLLY says, “’The Sacrifice’ is another song that is just so, totally, me. I think it’s so totally everybody that has a dream and desire to be successful, and in order to be successful we have to give up things that we’d rather not. But if we’re not willing to make that sacrifice usually we don’t see those dreams come true.”

BETTER DAY marks the fourth release on her own Dolly Records and her first studio album ever to reach the top 10 in the U.K., where she recently performed a pair of shows (September 7 and 8) at the O2 Arena in London. That’s the same venue where DOLLY recorded and filmed Live From London (Dolly Records), her widely praised 2009 two-disc DVD/CD set that included songs from her 2008 Backwoods Barbie album alongside her many classic hits.

DOLLY’s fall U.S. dates kicked off Friday, October 7 in Cedar Park, TX and will continue through mid-October before she heads to Australia in November for a run of dates.

In other DOLLY news, she will return to the silver screen alongside Queen Latifah in Joyful Noise (Warner Bros. Pictures), a musically driven feature that tells the story of an unlikely partnership between two strong-minded women who are forced to work together to save a small town Gospel choir after budget cuts threaten to shut them down.“Joyful Noise will also feature musical contributions from DOLLY. This marks DOLLY’s return to movies, having starred in Steel Magnolias, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and the Academy Award-nominated 9-5.
