ConGrats To Three Grascals Publicity People
A lot of music fans don't know what a publicist is, or what a publicist does. The Story of "The Grascals Success" lies not just in their great talent and creative music. Someone said, This is good, let's pull out all of the stops. Most projects just have one publicist. Publicists promote a CD release or an artist, they did both here. They have to put up with people like me , bugging them for CDs and pics and stuff. Look at this list who helped promote "The Famous Lefty Flynn."
Media Contacts:
Martha Moore, so much MOORE media / 615.746.3994
somuchmoore@charter.net
Jennifer Sacca, Rounder Records / 617.218.4503
jsacca@rounder.com
Kirt Webster, Webster & Associates / 615.777.6995
kirt@websterpr.com
Martha Moore of her own company SoMuchMoore PR, Martha used to be the publicist for KISS, and decided to go for Americana Music, I have known her a long time, and she is a super person, if you can find her, trapsing back and forth between the states and Europe with her clients.
Kirt Webster, well, He has a huge list of clients , products that he promotes including Hank williams Jr. I don't know if this is true , but word has it, that Kirt was the pR guy for Davey Crockett, now, don't quote me on that.
And last, but far from least is Jennifer Sacca from their label, Rounder Records, this label has been around awhile and is big into bluegrass and other genres. She might still have a couple of 8 tracks for sale on her site. I'm very Grateful for her, she has always been kind enough to send a CD to me when I asked.
The most important thing is, it worked, The Grascals are hot and they are having a banner year. When I first saw this list, I found it hard to believe, Three publicists I know working he same CD. It was a prescription for success. Congrats Guys!!!!

The ICM Awards to be Held on Thursday, October 14, 2010
at the Trinity Music City USA Auditorium
NASHVILLE, TN-August 18, 2010—The 16th Annual Inspirational Country Music Awards Show (ICM Awards) announces that Love And Theft, Joey + Rory, The Roys, Nathan Stanley along with Dr. Ralph Stanley and 2009 ICM Entertainer of the Year CrossCountry The Band, are all confirmed to perform on the award show.
When you see husband & wife duo Joey+Rory, you don’t need to be told that what they have is genuine. Just listen to their music or listen to them talk and you can tell that what they have is the real deal…not just as a musical duo, but as a couple. The deep connection they have doesn’t just shine through their music, it’s the reason their music shines.
“It’s such a blessing to get to play music and travel and see things we’ve never been able to see before. But the highlight of it all is being able to do it together.” states Joey
“Our plan is the same as it’s always been - to show up, do what we do and hope that magic will happen,” says Rory. “As hard as we work, we ultimately know that God’s plans are a lot bigger and better than we can make ourselves.”
Megan Alexander, Correspondent for the national television show, "INSIDE EDITION”, will co-host the award show that will be held on Thursday, October 15, 2009, at 7:00 p.m. CST at the Trinity Music City USA Auditorium located in Hendersonville, Tennessee.
