Nashville CRS Festival
I looked through the window at "Legends" bar on broadway in Nashville, TN. It was Capital Records CRS party and Dierks Bentley was performing. We checked it out for a minuite then continued around the corner headin' back to the Renaissance Hotel for more parties. I suddenly looked up and saw Mr. Mike Dungan, CEO/President of Capital Nashville, standing there. I haven't seen him in 2 years, almost to the date, when I had the opportunity to perform for him at his office at Capital. I've been dropping off material ever since and do hear from him now and then, but wasn't quite sure it was getting to him. He looked over.............. "Mark! How are you doing? Looks like I got some new material from you today! Sounds like you got some good things goin on with K102 up there in the Twin Cities. Who's pitching your songs down here?" Needless to say, I was in shock. This is Keith Urbans', Trace Atkins', Dierks Bentleys' boss talkin' to me here!!! Holy ....!!!
Anyway, hope everyone's enjoyin' all this snow! Sarah and I were stranded in Dallas,TX, for 2 days because of it! Just was in Nashville this last week catching up with my tunes at Aristomedia and hanging out at the parties for the CRS festival. Got to meet all kinds of great artists and catch up with some friends as well. Everyone was so nice and fun, I couldn't believe it. Got to see and or meet: Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert, Trent Tomlinson, Mark Chesnutt, Eddie Montgomery (Montgomery Gentry), Jewel, Jon Rich (Big and Rich), Michelle Branch, Jessica Harp (The Wreckers), Edwin McCain, Poverty Neck Hillbillies, The Lost Trailers, Bucky Covington, etc. etc. etc. Was a great experience. Had a blast with my cousin, Kate, meetin' all her industry friends as well.
Also found out that my song "Fine" is being shelved by some major labels on music row as well! I am VERY excited about that. Thanks to Matt Watkins and Walkerbout Music!
Lookin' forward to all the upcoming shows. Thanks to everyone for all the support. We'll have some new music out to y'all soon. Hope to see y'all out at a show! Take care & hope to see ya soon!
