Little Texas Medley (mp3)

With over six million albums and mega hits like “What Might Have Been” and “My Love” to their credit, Duane Propes, Porter Howell, Del Gray, and Dwayne O’Brien hardly need an introduction. As part of the band Little Texas, the handful of guys all barely in their 20’s, burst onto the scene in the 90’s like a rocket, and within five years had established themselves as one of country’s “super-groups” and one of the most exciting live bands of the genre.

Even before they ever signed a record deal, the group was known as “the hardest working band in country music,” it was not uncommon for them to play over 300 shows a year, without a bus, without a driver and without tour support from a record label. They simply made it on their own, and that seasoning shows up even today. Still in the midst of a heavy tour schedule playing major markets nationwide this year, the band’s four original members are gearing up for the release of a brand new album on their new label, Montage Records, and couldn’t be happier to be back and bringing fans what they do best.

Little Texas is back and better than ever, with a renewed energy and excitement to make more of the music that fans nationwide came to love and respect. Their live album, THE VERY BEST OF LITTLE TEXAS - LIVE & LOUD, was released in May 2007, and MISSING YEARS was released just 28 in June 2007.  You can now check out their music and videos on their web site - click here.  Don’t miss the return this show!

Also Featuring:
Phil Stacey

American Idol finalist with a smash new hit! MySpace Website YouTube: "If You Didn't Love Me" Listen to: If You Didn't Love Me (mp3)

American Idol favorite Phil Stacey brings his charm and talent to Roanoke - including his new hot country hit - "If You Don't Love Me." While on active duty as a U.S. Navy sailor, Phil first considered pursuing his singing dreams when he won an on-ship "American Idol-" like competition amongst his fellow sailors. He was so dedicated to his goal that he missed the birth of his second daughter on audition day of season 6 of "American Idol" (his daughter arrived early). After Phil's 55-city American Idol tour wrapped up in September 2007 and the completion of his 4-year commitment to the U.S. Navy, Phil received his honorable discharge and immediately re-enlisted in the Naval Reserves.

With the Navy's full support of his musical career, Phil moved his family to Nashville, TN and began working with the same management company that had initially expressed interest in him in high school. Phil then signed with Lyric Street Records and began working on his debut CD with producer Wayne Kirkpatrick, whose work with Little Big Town, among others, he admired. The music they recorded will give listeners a look at a man who comes into his own with a hard-won maturity and self-knowledge. "I know what I stand for," Phil says.

"My life revolves around my family and my music. I love being active in my church and I was proud during Idol to represent the Navy and just kind of be a unifying factor for Americans." Phil is, as you might expect, a man doing music for more than selfish reasons. "I feel my job as a singer is part of my job as a human being. I'm supposed to be touching other people's lives, doing the best I can to be a positive force in the world."

And there is no doubt that as an artist and as a person, he will be a great addition to the music world.

“Let Your Love Flow” Live

Listen to:
Bellamy Brothers Medley (mp3)

As Howard and David continue to prove that the trail they’ve ridden to fame has been as unique as their music itself—music that is now celebrating 30 years of success.  The road that started on the pop music charts in the ‘70’s, took a winding turn into country music in the ‘80’s, paving the way for duos to come, such as Brooks & Dunn, Montgomery Gentry, Big & Rich, and previously—The Judds.  But before the road forked into country, the musical odyssey of brothers Bellamy started creatively smoldering in their home state of Florida, before exploding nationally amidst the ’70’s pop music culture of L.A.

The Bellamys officially lifted off the launch pad in 1976 when their single, “Let Your Love Flow,” became an instant smash in both the U.S. and Europe.  The love was indeed flowing as The Bellamys jammed for audiences on their sold-out concerts with their patented blend of rock/country music. 

By the late ‘70’s The Bellamys were emerging on the country charts with another bona fide smash. “If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me),” originally scrawled on a dinner napkin by David, rocketed them to the top of the country charts the way “Let Your Love Flow,” had done in the pop market just a few years earlier.  It proved to be the first of a string of fourteen #1 singles in the U.S. alone.

Success followed success: “Dancing Cowboys,” “Sugar Daddy,” “You Ain’t Just Whistlin’ Dixie,” “Lovers Live Longer,” “Do You Love As Good As You Look,” “Redneck Girl,” “For All The Wrong Reasons,” “I Love Her Mind,” “I Need More Of You,” “Old Hippie,” “Too Much Is Not Enough,” “Kids Of The Baby Boom,” and “Reggae Cowboy” and “Crazy From The Heart,”…all lining their walls with platinum and gold.

Now the Bellamys are showing a new generation of country music how it’s done. “We’re old road dogs,” grins Howard when asked about the motivation behind the brothers 200 plus concert dates each year. Adds David: “Our live draw is bigger than it was in the ‘80’s.  I think the same people that grew up with us and with our music have raised a whole new generation of Bellamy fans.  Now they’re turning up at our concerts as college kids, who are really turned on and tuned in to us and our music….it’s a great feeling.”

David and Howard’s latest effort has been the corroboration with thirty or more guest artists from all genres of music recording their vocals on over twenty of the Bellamy’s greatest hits plus three new selections.  The release of  ANGLES & OUTLAWS –  Volume One” features such songs and artists as “You Ain’t Just Whistlin’ Dixie” with Alan Jackson; “Old Hippie” with Montgomery Gentry; and “If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body” with none other than Ms. Dolly Parton - whose interpretation makes it sound new all over again.

Also Featuring:
Jason Michael Carroll

He's no longer a new-comer, he's the real deal! Website MySpace YouTube: "Livin' Our Love Song" Listen to: JMC medley (mp3)

Jason Michael Carroll doesn't look like he sounds - and that intrigue only heightens both realities of the tangy vocalist from North Carolina. After all, to hear him is to hear a straight-up, full-tilt, no-frills country singer who works a groove like a mule team, a melody like a barrel racer going for time, and a tear jerker with the dignity of Sunday grace.

Jason has touched a nerve with listeners across the country starting in 2006 when his Top 10 hit single, "Alyssa Lies" became the fastest-rising debut single by a male country artist in 2006. The song also set a record in its first week of availability, earning the highest country new artist debut in the history of SoundScan's Digital Songs chart. Speaking of "Alyssa Lies," Jason believes, "that may be the song I'm the proudest of. Not because I wrote it or sang it, but because I really mean it - and believe it may get people to talk about the unspeakable, to maybe not wait until it's too late somewhere else. If a song I touched could do that, well, then ." And it's his willingness to go deep that gives Jason so much of his impact.

Jason's "Alyssa Lies" made it all the way to #5 on the charts and is still being supported by radio and fans alike. When Arista Records released his follow-up single, "Livin' Our Love Song" shortly after, it too earned Jason his second Top 5 single. In February 2008, Arista Records released Jason's 3rd single, "I Can Sleep When I'm Dead". This upbeat song showcases Carroll's broad vocal, and his songwriting. It is currently making an impressive climb on the charts. When asked about his new fame Jason responded with "Am I?" then smiled. We believe Jason is going to fill a niche in country music that will include the old guard, the people who have always loved country music, but he will also present a view that is going to include the new audience.
