SUMMARY:Shenandoah Concert at 2025 The Montgomery Ruritan Turkey Trot Festival
DESCRIPTION:When country music lovers talk about the greatest groups in the genre\, Shenandoah is always at the forefront of any discussion.  Fueled by Marty Raybon’s distinctive vocals and the band’s skilled musicianship\, Shenandoah became well known for delivering such hits as “Two Dozen Roses”\, “Church on Cumberland Road” and “Next to You\, Next to Me” as well as such achingly beautiful classics as “I Want to be Loved Like That” and the Grammy winning “Somewhere in the Vicinity of the Heart” duet with Alison Krauss. \nToday that legacy continues as original members Raybon and Mike McGuire reunite to launch a new chapter in Shenandoah’s storied career. It all began when the guys got back together to perform a benefit  concert for  a  friend battling  cancer.  “We saw how folks reacted\,” Raybon says of the response to their reunion. “And then Jerry Phillips\, son of legendary Sun Records producer Sam Phillips\, said ‘You guys need to make a run at this. People   still love what you do. You can tell by the reaction. There’s a lot of excitement in the air.’” \n“It’s kind of like riding a bicycle\,” McGuire says of the band reigniting that chemistry on stage. “We had done so many shows over the years together\, even though we spent 17 years apart\, we got back up on the stage and it was like we never stopped. We knew those songs inside out. They were still dear to our hearts. It was great to get back up there and do them together again.” \nRaybon and McGuire formed the band in 1984 in Muscle Shoals\, Alabama with bassist Ralph Ezell\, keyboardist Stan Thorn and guitarist Jim Seales. McGuire invited noted producer Robert Byrne out to see the band perform and he was so impressed he recorded a demo on the group and pitched them to Columbia Records. Shenandoah inked a deal with the legendary label and began establishing a national fan base with their self-titled debut in 1987. However\, it was the band’s sophomore effort\, The Road Not Taken\, that spawned their first top ten hits— “She Doesn’t Cry Anymore” and “Mama Knows.” Shenandoah followed with three consecutive No. 1 hits— “Church on Cumberland Road\,” “Sunday  in the South” and “Two Dozen Roses.” “The Church on   Cumberland Road” spent two weeks at the top of the chart and   made country music history as it marked the first time that a  country band’s first No. 1 single spent more than one week at the summit. It also helped propel sales of the album to more than half a million units thus giving Shenandoah their first gold album. \nGreat songs have provided the foundation for Shenandoah’s illustrious career. “We knew a hit song when we heard one\,” Raybon says. “We are songwriters and we wrote some of those hits\, but we really prided ourselves on having an ear for songs. Mike\, in particular\, has always been a good song guy. When he played us a song he found\, we knew it was going to be special.” \nShenandoah became known for delivering songs that celebrated the importance of faith and family while reveling in the joys of small town life. “Next to You\, Next to Me” topped the charts for three weeks and “Somewhere in the Vicinity of the Heart\,” a beautiful duet with Alison Krauss\, won a Country Music Association Award for Vocal Event of the year and a Grammy for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. \nShenandoah also won the Academy of Country Music’s Vocal Group of the Year in 1991.  McGuire credits Raybon’s vocals for providing Shenandoah with an identifiable sound. “When you hear Marty Raybon sing there’s nobody that sounds like him\,” McGuire says. “There’s nobody that’s got the same chops that he’s got and he’s singing from his heart. That’s one of the reasons that everybody wants to hear him sing. Marty and me\, we go way back. We’ve done a lot of things together and we love each other like brothers.” \nShenandoah recorded nine studio albums and placed 26 singles on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. The boys from Muscle Shoals have left a potent legacy at country radio with such   enduring hits as “Ghost in This House\,” “I Want to Be Loved Like That”\, “Rock My Baby\,” “Janie Baker’s Love Slave\,” “If Bubba Can Dance (I Can Too)”\, written by Raybon and McGuire and “Her Leavin’s Been a Long Time Comin\,” in which former Dallas Cowboy quarterback Troy Aikman was in the video (also written by McGuire). \n“Today Shenandoah is in the top five recurrent on all the XM   radio shows\,” Raybon says. “That’s amazing to know that you are in the company of Alabama and George Strait. It’s hard to believe.” \nThough they’ve secured their place in country music history\, Raybon and McGuire aren’t content to rest on their laurels and are currently working on new Shenandoah music. “I’ve spent the last  15 years looking for hit songs\,” McGuire says. “We have access to really top drawer material\, and have found some great songs that   we will be producing ourselves.” \nEven as Shenandoah records new music and hits the road on their upcoming tour\, Raybon will still perform select solo dates. In the years since he exited Shenandoah\, he’s established himself as an award-winning bluegrass artist\, a natural home for his soulful country voice. Though much has happened since Raybon and Shenandoah parted ways\, the bond has never been broken. It was music that brought them together and music that continues to bind them as they enter this next chapter. “We were fortunate enough to have songs that seemed to touch a great deal of people and while doing so it created a lot of memories\,” says Raybon. “I truly do believe that there are seasons in life and I believe that there is a time and a place when God allows things. We’ve sat down and talked about reuniting before but it wasn’t the right time for it then\, but I do believe it is time for it now.” \nMcGuire agrees. “We are really proud of the quality of the material that we have in our catalog and how it’s touched so many people’s lives\,” McGuire says. “As far as the future goes\, I’m expecting more of the same. We’re still the same guys. Marty still has the same voice he had back in that day and I still have the same harmonies that I sung on all those records. I expect the records we cut in the future are still going to sound like Shenandoah and the songs are going to be just as good.

SUMMARY:Bryan Martin Concert at The Montgomery Ruritan Turkey Trot Festival 2025
DESCRIPTION:NASHVILLE\, TN (April 4\, 2025) — Today\, acclaimed chart-topping country artist BRYAN MARTIN delivers his 13-track LP\, Years In The Making\, via Average Joes Entertainment. MARTIN continues to build momentum following his RIAA-certified platinum hit\, “We Ride\,” and the success of his rising single\, “Wolves Cry\,” currently climbing the country radio charts. In 2023\, the Cherokee Indigenous American artist achieved a career milestone with his debut performance at the Grand Ole Opry\, stepping into the venue’s sacred circle. \nOn April 16 in Lexington\, KY\, MARTIN will hit the road for his 27-date tour of the same name\, with select shows featuring support from Ben Roberts and Taylor Austin Dye. Adding to the excitement\, MARTIN is set to make his debut at the legendary Stagecoach Festival\, bringing his hard-hitting country sound to one of the genre’s biggest stages. \nOn February 7\, MARTIN dropped the final single from the project\, “Ain’t My Old Man.” Written by MARTIN\, Lee Thomas Miller\, and Nick Walsh\, “Ain’t My Old Man” delves into MARTIN’s relationship with his father\, capturing the universal moment of realizing you’ve inherited more from your parents than you ever expected. Showcasing his signature poetic lyricism and authentic storytelling\, the song is another testament to his songwriting ability\, reminding us that he writes what he lives. Robert Oermann of MusicRow\, hailed it as “Well written\, well sung and perfectly produced. Play this.” \n“I think a lot of us grow up wanting to be like our dads\, but at the same time saying ‘I don’t want to be nothing like that when I grow up\,” MARTIN shares. “I want to have more patience and teach my kids how to do things. Then you grow up and sometimes you catch yourself in moments where you’re just like ‘man\, I’m just like that guy.’” \nYEARS IN THE MAKING TRACKLISTING:\n“What About Me”\n“Wishbone”\n“Goin For Broke”\n“Headstrong”\n“Buzzards” (Explicit)\n“Cowboy In This Indian”\n“Silver and Gold” (feat. Ben Roberts)\n“Years In The Making”\n“Don’t Come Lookin For Me” (feat. Marty Stuart)\n“Wolves Cry”\n“Ain’t My Old Man”\n“Gettin Fore The Gone”\n“Easier Bein Me” \nFollowing the success of his Platinum-certified anthem “We Ride\,” which has garnered over 300 million streams and soared into the Top 3 at country radio\, BRYAN MARTIN earned a 2024 MusicRow Awards nomination for “Breakthrough Artist-Writer of the Year.” MARTIN’s career-defining moments\, including “We Ride” landing at No. 3 on Billboard’s “Country Airplay” chart and the music video accumulating more than 57 million views\, have solidified his growing presence in country music. At 36\, MARTIN continues to redefine the country music ladder with over 800 million career streams\, millions of monthly listeners\, and a grit-soaked sound that resonates across a vast audience. Furthermore\, he has shared the stage with Jason Aldean\, Chris Young\, and even rocked stadiums alongside Morgan Wallen on the blockbuster “One Night At A Time” Tour\, solidifying his reputation as a rising force in country music. \nHowever\, MARTIN’s rise didn’t come easy. Born and raised in Logansport\, Louisiana\, his journey began in church\, singing as a child. By eight\, he was covering George Strait at local fairs\, encouraged by his mother\, who had shared stages with legends like Faron Young and Alison Krauss. But life took a hard detour. He pursued bull riding\, worked hay fields\, and battled substance abuse\, hitting rock bottom at 19. A near-fatal car accident reignited his passion for songwriting\, pushing him to make his guitar pay off and confront his struggles head-on. \nAlbums like If It Was Easy (2019)\, Self Inflicted Scars (2022)\, and Poets & Old Souls (2023) reveal a true artist who has survived the darkness and emerged with songs that speak to the heart of the working-class experience. With each new release and tour date\, MARTIN proves that the best songs don’t just tell stories — they live and breathe in the spaces between struggle and triumph. With his signature rough-edged voice and raw\, honest storytelling\, MARTIN continues to demonstrate his talent for turning profound emotion into unforgettable music. \nMARTIN’s songs are like the old bar stool you sink into after a brutal day — steady\, familiar\, and brimming with stories. It hugs you like a friend who’s seen the worst of you and still sticks around\, or hits like a gut-punch wake-up call you didn’t know you needed. His music cuts to the bone\, channeling the raw highs and lows of life into melodies that linger long after the last note fades. \nBRYAN MARTIN is set to keep his momentum rolling throughout 2025 with new music — including his latest single\, “Shades” with Colt Ford featuring Yelawolf — and a packed lineup of tour dates.
