“Rumor Has It” That Clay Walker Will Perform at Mill Town Music Hall Country Superstar Will Sing from Three Decades of Hits on February 15Th For Immediate Release Press Contact: Rob Kremer [email protected] (404) 218-3077 “Rumor Has It” that Clay Walker Will Perform at Mill Town Music Hall Country Superstar will sing from three decades of hits on February 15th BREMEN, Ga. (January 7, 2019) – Clay Walker will take the stage at Mill Town Music Hall on Saturday, Feb. 15th at 7:30 pm EST. Walker has had four platinum-selling albums and two gold albums. Nashville singer/songwriter Jenna Paulette will be the opening act. Mill Town Music Hall, focusing on family-friendly music and events, is located conveniently off I-20 in Bremen (1031 Alabama Avenue). Clay Walker first topped the Billboard country charts in 1993 with back-to-back number one hits, “What’s It to You?” and “Live Until I Die.” Since his initial success, Walker has placed 29 other songs on Billboard’s singles chart including “Dreaming with my Eyes Open,” “If I Could Make Living,” “This Woman and This Man,” “Then What?,” and “Rumor Has It.” In 1996, Walker was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis; however, he was determined not to let that diagnoses stop him. “If you’d asked me when I was diagnosed that first day if I would still be alive, I would have said ‘no’ because that’s what the doctor’s said,” says Walker. “Here I am, and actually I’m probably healthier than I was [when I was diagnosed].” To help fight the disease, Walker started Band Against MS (BAMS) and has raised over $2,000,000 in support of the cause. Tickets for Clay Walker are $58 for “Premium Reserved” and $53 for “Reserved” in advance.

  • FOR CLAY WALKER at the STANISLAUS COUNTY FAIR! Turlock, CA (January 17, 2019) – Clay Walker Will Take the Stage at the 2019 Stanislaus County Fair This Summer
    For more information contact: Adrenna Alkhas Marketing and Communication Director (209) 668-1333 ext. 340 For Immediate Release: January 17, 2019 “FALL” FOR CLAY WALKER AT THE STANISLAUS COUNTY FAIR! Turlock, CA (January 17, 2019) – Clay Walker will take the stage at the 2019 Stanislaus County Fair this summer. The amazing country artist, Clay Walker will perform on Wednesday, July 17, 2019, at the Stanislaus County Fair. Walker will appear on the Variety Free Stage at 8:30 p.m. The concert is hosted by KAT COUNTRY 103.3 and is free with the price of Fair admission. “We are very excited to announce Clay Walker for our 2019 lineup,” said Adrenna Alkhas, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair. “Clay Walker performed at the Stanislaus County Fair back in 2011 and is sure to be a crowd-pleasing hit for country music fans during our 10-nights of free celebrity concerts.” Clay Walker has been highly successful in his career. Even 17 years after his first hit, “What’s It To You,” Clay released four platinum albums, two certified gold albums and 11 No. 1 singles. Walker’s motivation is inspired by the experiences he has faced throughout his life. For example, his bar-playing band experience aided in the making of the song “She Won’t Be Lonely Long.” In addition, Walker’s single, “Double Shot of John Wayne” reflects living each day by strength and perseverance. Walker has had to find this strength after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) at the age of 26. His heroic passion for finding a cure for MS with his charity organization, Band Against MS, stems from his diagnosis in 1996.

SongTown.com is a unique community of creative souls led by top-selling songwriters Marty Dodson and Clay Mills, offering online classes, webinar hangouts, and mentoring worldwide with top music professionals. We’d love to help you grow your art and chase your dreams! Marty Dodson Marty Dodson was born in Apple Valley, California, and moved around for several years until his family settled in Nashville, TN. Growing up, he was intimidated by the sheer number of people coming to Nashville to become singers or songwriters. So, he went to college and earned a degree in psychology. After working ten years as a youth minister, Marty decided to change careers. Trouble was, he didn’t know what he wanted to be when he grew up. He fumbled around for several years, doing odd jobs and trying to decide on a direction for his life. Finally, a book he read helped him realize that what he REALLY wanted to be was a songwriter. He had run into Gordon Payne, a member of the Crickets, while working one of his odd jobs. Gordon helped him re-write one of his songs and demo it in a Nashville studio. Marty was hooked. He threw caution to the wind, quit the other jobs and began writing full-time. Six #1 songs and more than 90 cuts later, Marty has become one of the top writers in Nashville. Clay Mills Clay Mills, a ten-time ASCAP award-winning songwriter and producer, grew up surrounded by music in the blues-rich Mississippi Delta.
