  • Easton Corbin
    Easton Corbin All Over The Road Biography “Easton Corbin has one of those rare, glorious voices that was made—just made—for singing country music.” –American Songwriter With two No. 1 singles, multiple awards and nominations, plus performances on some of the biggest stages in the world, Easton Corbin made an auspicious entree with his self-titled debut album. The release of his sophomore effort, All Over the Road, builds on that success and delivers music that confirms that Easton Corbin is here to stay. When Easton broke on the scene in 2009 with not one, but two, No. 1 singles, “A Little More Country Than That” and “Roll With It,” and a Top 15 hit, “I Can’t Love You Back,” the country music world was put on notice. He became the first country male artist in 17 years to have his first two consecutive singles reach No. 1. Billboard named Easton the Top New Country Artist of 2010 and named "Roll With It" the No. 6 Hot Country Song of the Year. He was ranked No. 9 on Billboard’s list of Top Country Artists-Male, listed between Blake Shelton and Tim McGraw. With three American Country Awards in 2010 and blockbuster tours with Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley and Blake Shelton, Easton set the bar high for his sophomore release. Not surprisingly, the hard-working Gilchrist County, Florida native—“Everybody knows everybody,” he says—delivers in spades. The new collection—like the first, produced by top Nashville producer Carson Chamberlain (Billy Currington)—finds Easton improving upon his impressive debut.

  • Billy Currington Bio Enjoy Yourself
    BILLY CURRINGTON BIO ENJOY YOURSELF The title of Billy Currington’s new album, Enjoy Yourself, says it all. “That’s what I want people to think about doing when they hear my music,” the happy-go-lucky Georgia native says. “I want them to have a good time.” And a good time is clearly what they’re having. He’s garnered an impressive ten Top 10 hits, with six of those hitting No. 1 – “Pretty Good At Drinkin’ Beer,” “That’s How Country Boys Roll,” “People Are Crazy,” ”Don’t,” “Must Be Doin’ Somethin’ Right” and “Good Directions.” He’s sold millions of albums and has been selected to tour with the likes of Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley and Sugarland. Tour mate Carrie Underwood notes that Billy’s “talent and charm” have made crowds fall in love with him. He also received the compliment of a lifetime from David Letterman, who said about Billy’s “People Are Crazy” performance, “This song will change your life. You’re not going to do any better than this song here.” His multiple nominations include two 2010 Grammy nominations (Male Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song) for “People Are Crazy,” which also received nominations for Single and Song of the Year from the Academy of Country Music, as well as Single, Song and Video of the Year from the Country Music Association. He was honored with a 2006 nomination for Top New Male Vocalist at the ACMS, which followed 2005 ACM and CMA nominations for “Party For Two,” his duet with Shania Twain.

That’s the premise behind KarmaThreads — a positive messaging apparel company fusing vintage flair with contemporary design — as Cyan they announced earlier this month the launch of its first line of T-shirts for women of all ages. Magenta With inspirational messages like “Dream,” “Hope,” “Laugh Often,” “Love More,” and other phrases, these hip new T-shirts pro- vide an easy way for all to look good and do good. Inspired by a desire to give back to teens in need, KarmaThreads Yellow founder, Rhonda Lee, is sharing a portion from all of the items sold to charities that shelter and nurture teens. For Lee, it is an idea that has hung around for years and is now Black coming into fruition. “I really wanted to form a non-profit organization for teens to provide clothes for kids in need,” she said. “I think that it’s our responsibility to help these teens that are the next generation and teach them the responsibility of taking care of their own.” On Friday, Nov. 24 — also known as “Black Friday” — eight businesses in Exeter aided in the launch of Kar- maThreads by displaying the T-shirts in their stores and providing purchase information for those who are inter- ested in giving back.
