Country Superstar Alan Jackson Announces 2019 Tour! COUNTRY SUPERSTAR ALAN JACKSON ANNOUNCES 2019 TOUR! Country Music Hall of Famer Plans Concerts Across the Nation! Special Guests Include William Michael Morgan and Randy Houser! (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) Country Music Hall of Famer Alan Jackson will be hitting the road in 2019, bringing nearly three decades of hits to cities across America! The country music icon will hit the road beginning January 25, headlining arena concerts and amphitheater shows (detailed listing below, with more dates to be added). The three-time CMA Entertainer of the Year will be thrilling audiences far-and-wide as they relive their favorite songs night-after-night in city-after-city. Tickets and information for all Alan Jackson 2019 Tour dates are available at alanjackson.com/tour, where you can find information about Alan, his tour schedule, music and more. Jackson is again teaming up with CID Entertainment to offer fans VIP experiences at many of his 2019 shows. Alan Jackson’s concerts find the country icon performing hits that have gained him legions of longtime fans, songs that continue to draw new crowds as a younger generation discovers his music. Jackson’s repertoire stands the test of time; it has impacted a field of artists who cite Jackson as an influence. It’s these same songs – many written by Alan – that earned him his place alongside country music’s greatest names and cemented his place in its history with membership in the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Fans will hear the songs they love from the man who wrote them and made them famous, including his debut hit “Here in The Real World”…signature songs such as “Chattahoochee,” “Drive” and “Gone Country”…party anthems “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” and “Good Time”…and many, many more. The country superstar will be bringing exciting talent on the road with him in 2019. Newcomer William Michael Morgan will be Jackson’s special guest on most shows; hitmaker Randy Houser will play the role on selected dates. Chart-topping hit “I Met a Girl” put Mississippi native William Michael Morgan on the map, but his talent, music and voice are keeping him there. A timeless sound and honest lyrics landed him a major label record deal at 19, gave him that #1 gold smash, and earned him a Top 5 debut album. A few years older – and hundreds of shows wiser – William Michael’s music embodies the man he’s become: a hard worker and big dreamer, single dad and hopeless romantic, pure country stalwart unafraid to embrace the here and now. Hitmaker Randy Houser’s vocals have earned raves and his music has made him a staple on country radio over the past decade, as he topped the charts with “How Country Feels," “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight,” "Goodnight Kiss" and “We Went.” Houser is also known for such hits as “Boots On” and his critically- acclaimed powerful delivery of the Top 5 smash and CMA Song of the Year nominated "Like A Cowboy.” In addition to Morgan and Houser, many of Jackson’s shows will include a brief performance by aspiring singer-songwriters who’ve played AJ’s Good Time Bar, his self-owned honky-tonk on downtown Nashville’s famed “Lower Broadway.” Jackson has a long history of giving new and rising stars their first chances to perform in front of arena-size crowds – artists who’ve been on one of their “first big tours” with Alan include Brad Paisley, LeAnn Rimes, Sara Evans, Chris Young and, more recently, Jon Pardi and Lauren Alaina. Alan Jackson’s touring history has taken him across America and to places far beyond, and his music has gained him fans around the globe. In 2019, he’ll continue his tradition of “keepin’ it country” for people far and wide as he brings nearly 30 years of hits to a city near you! # # # ALAN JACKSON’S 2019 TOUR (Dates Already On Sale, Unless Otherwise Noted) More Shows to Be Added!!

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • Song & Music in the Movement
    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

  • Eight Underrated Acts at Tortuga Music Festival 2016
    Eight Underrated Acts at Tortuga Music Festival 2016 The big names need no introduction: Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley, and Tim McGraw will draw the biggest crowds of Tortuga 2016. But it’s the little guys, the wildcard acts at the massive, annual country-music beach party, that will provide the surprise thrills. Though most are relative newcomers, several of the artists on this list, including Cam, Muddy Magnolias, and Ryan Hurd, have experience singing and/or writing for huge stars. Their names might not be familiar yet, but these eight acts sure as hell know how to put on a good show. Complete Tortuga Music Festival Schedule 8. Randy Houser. 5:30 p.m. Friday, Tortuga Stage. The music video for Randy Houser’s “We Went” follows a pair of Bonnie and Clyde-like lovers as they steal from the less deserving and hand out cash to a church and later a struggling single mother. The film and the song combine the two worlds that Houser occupies, the sometimes-sensitive, always manly arena-rock country and the Jamey Johnson, Merle Haggard-led outlaw country. Having written for the likes of Trace Adkins, Houser didn’t see his own work top the charts until 2013, when he was in his mid-30s, with “How Country Feels.” This late-blooming honky-tonk crooner has enjoyed a series of number-ones, continuing his ascent with the recently released Fired Up. 7. Cam. 1:30 p.m. Friday, Tortuga Stage. After a star-making performance at this year’s Academy of Country Music Awards, Cam (born Camaron Marvel Ochs) won’t be flying under the radar much longer.

  • Issue 105 Randy Houser’S Late Night with Dave Nothing Was “Normal” About Last Thursday Night’S Late Show with David Letterman
    September 2, 2008 Issue 105 Randy Houser’s Late Night With Dave Nothing was “normal” about last Thursday night’s Late Show With David Letterman. First, and foremost, while country sightings are rare on their own, it’s unheard of for a country singer with a debut single barely inside the Top 50 (when he was booked) to get a shot as the musical guest. It was also a rarity for Letterman himself to order the booking. But Letterman’s hand in re-arranging the song for that night’s performance is something that Late Show Musical Director Paul Shaffer says never happens. The career of Universal South’s Randy Houser took an unbelievable turn a few months ago when, according to Shaffer, Letterman heard Houser’s “Anything Goes” on one of Sirius Satellite Radio’s Country channels. Letterman called New York and asked his talent coordinator to book Houser. Crump Plaza: The Marj & George Aubrey Crump Terrace But Letterman took it a step further when he called Shaffer was dedicated at the Country Music Hall of Fame And Museum just prior to the 1pm vocal on Sept. 1. More than 65 close friends and relatives from the rehearsal on the day of the Hampton Roads area of Virginia attended the ceremony, which show. Shaffer told a small came on what would have been the 63rd wedding anniversary group of folks hanging for Marj and her late husband, George, who passed away in 2005.

  • January 16, 2019 – Singer-Songwriter Randy Houser Brings His North American Tour to the Santa Ynez Valley for a Night of Country Music on Friday
    Contact: Mike Traphagen [email protected] COUNTRY MUSIC STAR RANDY HOUSER TO PERFORM AT CHUMASH CASINO RESORT SANTA YNEZ, CA – January 16, 2019 – Singer-songwriter Randy Houser brings his North American tour to the Santa Ynez Valley for a night of country music on Friday, February 15, at the Chumash Casino Resort’s Samala Showroom. The show starts at 8 p.m., and tickets are $39, $44, $49, $54 & $59. Houser is touring in support of his latest album, “Magnolia,” which was released on Jan. 11 and will be accompanied by a full-length film of the same name. The title draws its name from his home state of Mississippi, the Magnolia State, where the platinum-selling artist has been cultivating a homegrown, organic sound over the past two years. The film will feature live performances by Houser and follow a storyline that embodies the sentiment of the album’s lyrics. The first track off the new album, “What Whiskey Does,” featuring Hillary Lindsey, was released in 2018 and became a Top 40 hit on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. It’s yet another example of success for Houser, who was writing hits for country stars before he was signed as an artist in 2008. His first album, “Anything Goes,” featured a title track that cracked the Top 20 on the Hot Country chart, and “Boots On,” which climbed to No. 2 in 2009. Houser’s first No. 1 hit, “How Country Feels,” was the title track to his third studio album, which also featured the No. 1 smash “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight” and Top 5 hits “Goodnight Kiss” and “Like a Cowboy.” The singles “How Country Feels” and “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight” were certified platinum and put Houser on the country music map in 2013.
