Award Winning Band Unveils Tour Bus and Celebrates Promotional Partnership

NASHVILLE, TN --- Two-time IBMA Entertainer of the Year winners, The Grascals, are pleased to announce a promotional agreement with Vietti Foods.

The band unveiled a brightly wrapped tour bus touting The Grascals and images of the sponsor’s products.

“The Grascals are thrilled and grateful to be a part of the Vietti Foods Company,” says Jamie Johnson of The Grascals. “We will work hard to represent both Vietti and bluegrass music across the country. We consider the good folks at Vietti our family.”

Hey bluegrass friends and fans, we are very excited its IBMA time again this year and honored to have our second round award nominations! Thanks for still letting us pick and entertain for you!

On a recent field trip to Zia Records, I discovered two albums in the Bluegrass/Americana section that would fit the criteria for review on Prescription Bluegrass. One was Leonard Cohen’s “Old Ideas” and the other was The Grascals “Life Finds A Way.” I also found a CD by a fellow named Charles Manson in the section, but I’m still not sure if that was some store employees idea of a bad joke, or if perhaps there is a hot new mandolin player on the scene with a very unfortunate name. At any rate, I opted for the Grascal’s latest offering and headed for the checkout.

When I got home I put “Life Finds A Way” on the old Victrola and was immediately struck by the easy relaxed feel of the first tune. So much of bluegrass music is teeth gritting, pedal-to-the-metal white water frenzy, but these notes just floated into my studio like a group of new friends that I’d known my whole life. Comfortable. Confident. Welcome.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. –

Newest to the list of promotions the Sounds offer at Greer Stadium is Music Industry Wednesdays (MIW). During the 2012 season the Nashville Sounds will host five MIW nights geared towards the industry that gives Nashville its most well known nickname, “Music City.”

“I worked with Kevin to develop a specialized night for the wonderful music community,” said Chris Alderman, Manager Turner & Nichols. “It is an opportunity for labels, agents, and managers to showcase new acts along with a night to enjoy one of America’s favorite pastimes.”

Anyone that works in the music industry can purchase Buy-One-Get-One-Free Reserved Seat Tickets every Wednesday night by simply going to the box office with proof you work in the industry. “Bring your lam, business card, CD, or literally anything that proves you work in the business and we will take care of you,” said Kevin Samborski the Account Executive in charge of the event. “We wanted to put something special together so everyone in the industry from touring crew to the business side of things could kick back with family and friends to enjoy a ballgame at a great price.”
