Online concert series presented by Stageit to bring country music to a personal level

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 24, 2013 – Keepin’ it Country is aiming to bring country music back to its roots by holding online, intimate concert sessions with some of today’s brightest up-and-coming acts and hit songwriters. The one-of-a-kind online series, KEEPIN’ IT COUNTRY PRESENTS, will showcase what country music is known for – its stories in its songs – through performances with the artists live from their homes and tour buses. The concerts are presented by STAGEIT.COM. Each concert will be streamed live via webcam and give fans the chance to get to know their favorite new artists through a live chat and private pay-per-view events. Each event will be at a low cost and with limited tickets available.

KEEPIN’ IT COUNTRY has become one of the leading and innovative country music blogs today. Already the most-read in Canada, KEEPIN’ IT COUNTRY has focused on introducing country music fans to new acts they should get to know. KEEPIN’ IT COUNTRY PRESENTS is another avenue the blog has created to bring country music blogging into the social media driven world today.

KEEPIN’ IT COUNTRY PRESENTS will be open worldwide to fans and each concert will only be $5 per ticket. Each event is streamed live on location, and is only available to those with tickets. They will be one-time events and will not be recorded for later, giving fans private concert experiences right from their computers. Fans are able to request songs from the artist and have real time conversations via the chat box during the 30-minute performance.

KEEPIN’ IT COUNTRY is proud to announce the first two artists of its brand new online showcase. KEEPIN’ IT COUNTRY PRESENTS will kick off on January 31st, 2013 at 9 pm EST/ 8 pm CST with independent singer-songwriter CHRIS CAVANAUGH. Chris has opened for artists like Kix Brooks, Jake Owen, Luke Bryan, Chris Young, Lee Brice, Jerrod Niemann, Thompson Square, Justin Moore, Josh Thompson, Joe Nichols, The Randy Rogers Band, and is a co-writer on Steve Holy’s “Like I’m Famous.” He gained attention of country music fans during his performances on the BLAKE SHELTON CRUISE in October 2012. Tickets are on-sale now for Chris Cavanaugh’s performance.

Additionally, KEEPIN’ IT COUNTRY is announcing the addition of THE VOICE’s ADLEY STUMP as its second headliner. Adley rose to fame as a member of TEAM BLAKE SHELTON on the second season of THE VOICE, competing against RAELYNN in the Battle Rounds and earning the praise of Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton.

CountryMusicIsLove to Host 3rd Annual City of Hope Benefit Concert

Jessica Crans — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:11:12 +0000

If you find yourself in the Nashville area at the end of this month, you won’t want to miss this great opportunity to support our fellow country music bloggers CountryMusicIsLove and the City of Hope!

CountryMusicIsLove is proud to announce the 3rd Annual CountryMusicIsLove Concert benefiting City of Hope, one of the nation’s leading research, treatment and education centers for cancer and other life-threatening diseases. This year’s concert will feature acoustic performances by Micheal Ray, Chris Cavanaugh, Kristen Kelly, THE FARM, JT Hodges, Chuck Wicks, Love and Theft, Casey James, and Craig Campbell. Whitney Duncan will do double duty as host and performer for the second year in a row.

The cause hits close to home for many of the artists, including Casey James. “My family has been massively affected by cancer,” James shares. “My Paw-Paw passed away last year from cancer. My Nana passed away from cancer and my mother is a two-time cancer survivor, thyroid and breast. I can go on and on. There’s a large history of that in my family. Anything I can do to help and to do my part to make things better, I’ve always been into doing that, so it was an honor to be asked to come out and play. I’m excited to play the music and come see the fans, but most excited just to be a part of the whole thing.”

The 3nd Annual CountryMusicIsLove Concert benefiting City of Hope will be held February 21, 2012 at 7:30pm at Exit/In in Nashville, Tenn. Tickets are $15 and 100% of tickets sales will be donated to City of Hope. Tickets are available here: http://bit.ly/cmiltickets.
