Oklahoma’s Own Adley Stump Lends Her Vocals to Aid Her Home State

In response to the recent tornadoes in Oklahoma, Oklahoma vocalist, Adley Stump from Season 2 of NBC’s “The Voice” is working with fellow native Oklahomans and Nashville songwriters to bring more attention and support for the recent tornado victims.

Without hesitation, Adley rushed into the studio to record a song that will be released May 24th to iTunes, as well as to many radio and television stations. All proceeds from the song will be donated to the Red Cross to be used to help the Oklahoma tornado victims.

“I immediately tried to figure out how I could help,” Adley says. “I think in this situation everyone just tries to figure out what they have that they can give. What I have is music, and here in Nashville there is nothing we know more than the power of a song. So when a friend from home e-mailed the song asking if I’d sing it, I knew immediately that’s how I could help. The song was perfect; I knew immediately I wanted to get in the studio with it. I hope it brings true comfort and healing for the hearts of those affected.”

Adley also intends to pull together a benefit concert in Oklahoma with other fellow Oklahoman musicians with the proceeds dedicated to the relief effort in Oklahoma. Information on this relief concert is being developed and further details will be released in the near future.

As soon as Adley agreed to sing, the Bennett family of First Oklahoma Bank provided the funds to make the project possible. The song is called “Weather the Storm” and was written by hit songwriters Bernie Nelson, Will Champlin and Adriene Smith Garrison and produced by hit songwriter/producers Philip Douglas and Greg Bieck.

Make sure to keep an eye on iTunes tomorrow so you can download Adley’s new song while helping those in need as a result of the horrific tornadoes that swept through Oklahoma. And stay tuned to Keepin’ It Country (and our social media pages) for further information on the benefit concert being planned by our friend, Adley, in support of her home state.

EXCLUSIVE: RaeLynn From “The Voice” On Her Battle Round And Beyond

March 08, 2012   Ted Efron

RaeLynn keeps racking up the “firsts” for Team Blake on this season of NBC’s smash singing competition The Voice.   She was the first singer selected by Blake Shelton for his team.  Now she’s the first singer Blake picked as a winner in the Battle Rounds.

The 17-year-old was matched with Adley Stump for her Battle Round.  The pairing brought together two different types of singers:  The powerful voice of Adley vs the more stylish singing RaeLynn.  Coaches Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green picked Adley as the winner, while Adam Levine went with RaeLynn.  In the end the decision was Blake’s and he went with RaeLynn, taking style over power.

Clearly, Blake sees something special about RaeLynn.  But will the viewing audience feel the same way when it comes time to vote?  We’ll all have to stay tuned for the answer to that question.

In the meantime, we caught up with the talented Texan to get her thoughts on meeting Miranda Lambert, her Battle Round with Adley, preparing for the live shows and a product endorsement she could really sink her teeth into.

Did you honestly have no idea that you were going to be working with Miranda?

The Voice: Team Blake Recap – Week 5

March 06, 2012   Jeanna D.  
The Voice

With all teams complete, The Voice is officially in the second phase of the competition!

The battle rounds began last night, and our Team Blake had to send two members home. It was a fight between Adley Stump vs. RaeLynn and Brian Fuente vs. Jordis.

Joining Team Blake as mentors are music superstars, Miranda Lambert and Kelly Clarkson. Miranda and Kelly are each in charge of six members. This week, Miranda worked with RaeLynn and Jordis, while Kelly helped out Adley and Brian. None of the team members knew that they were being mentored by Miranda and Kelly. Needless to say, they were all very excited when they walked into the room and saw them. I loved getting to watch Miranda and Kelly work with the team. They are both so unbelievably talented, knowledgeable, and down-to-earth. Not to mention, you cannot beat their first-hand experience when it comes to singing competitions.

RaeLynn vs. Adley

Blake chose Tom Petty’s, “Free Fallin’” for RaeLynn and Adley’s battle. The girls both sounded great and Adley has some vocal range. Unfortunately, Blake had to make the difficult decision of sending someone home. In the end, he decided to have RaeLynn continue forward in the competition.

Adley Stump: Found The Voice On Accident

March 01, 2012   Lydia Picknell  
Adley Stump.

It’s been a whirlwind year for Oklahoman Adley Stump. After only discovering her singing talent a little over a year ago on a dare from her sorority sisters during a choreography session, she’s found herself on the biggest singing competition on television right now. A proud member of Team Blake Shelton, she’s made it to the Battle Rounds which start Monday at 8 pm EST on NBC.

In a conference call that we were part of yesterday afternoon, Adley admitted to us that she never meant to audition for The Voice in the first place – it happened by chance! She was in need of some money and she was actually trying to figure out how to get on Jeopardy. She googled how to get on the classic game show and found a list of reality tv shows that were currently casting – which just so happened to have The Voice’s season two auditions listed.

“I found The Voice because I was, you know, a broke college student, and I thought, man, I’m broke. I need to go be on Jeopardy. So I Googled how to be on Jeopardy, and there was a list of reality shows pulled up. I found The Voice on there, and you know, I saw auditions in Nashville at the time I was interested, and I was like, “Oh, I was always wanted to go to Nashville.”

She never expected to get as far as she has so far on the show, thanking God for the change of plans in her life. Nashville, as it is for any country music singer, was a place she dreamed to get to – and when she discovered that auditions were being held in Music City, she jumped in the car and found her way:

“You know, so I hopped in the car, drove through the night, and auditioned, I know – I mean, on a whim. I didn’t expect this. I did not expect this, and you know, this is just a – you know, I was going left and God said, “No, you’re going right.” And I’m just trying to hold on and be the best version of myself to fill this role that I feel like I’ve been given to play.”

Find out if her “whim” is enough to take her to the live shows in April. She’s proudly part of Team Blake, and will be mentored by both Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert as the Battle Rounds start on Monday.
