MUSIC VIDEO OF THE WEEK:

Gloriana(Kissed You) Goodnight

This has been a song stuck in my head since Warner Music played it for us at the CRS Luncheon with Faith Hill back in February. It’s one of those music videos that actually follows the story of the song, and it flows pretty nicely. It’s a pretty song with the perfect video production, and for that it’s our video pick of the week for music video. Check out “(Kissed You) Goodnight” and let us know what you think:

Fans of country trio Gloriana are in for a treat next Monday, as the band will be featured on an upcoming episode of ABC’s hit romance series “The Bachelorette.” The band will be appearing during the May 21st episode while single mom, Emily Maynard, takes a lucky suitor on her first 1-on-1 date of the season.

While Gloriana is thrilled that their current single “(Kissed You) Good Night” is currently racing up the Billboard Country Singles chart (it currently sits at #17), group member Rachel Reinert is equally as thrilled to be appearing on the reality show.  “I’m a huge fan of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette,” she said. “I watched Emily when she was a contestant on The Bachelor and I was an instant fan of hers, so hearing that she is a fan of our band was a wonderful surprise! I’m excited to watch the new season, and I’m even more excited that we got to be a part of it.”

For those keen eyed “Bachelorette” viewers who watched the season premier and previews, it doesn’t look like Gloriana will be the only country artists serenading the bachelorette this season. Upcoming episodes will also feature performances by Luke Bryan & Dolly Parton. Gloriana’s episode will air Monday, May 21st at 8pm EST (check local listings) on ABC.

Wedding bells may not be featured on the upcoming album by Gloriana, but one band member definitely will be hearing them!

Tom Gossin (the dark-haired Gossin brother) announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Jamie Moffett during a show in his hometown in upstate New York last week.  The couple, who met when Tom moved down to North Carolina as a teenager, celebrated their 10-year anniversary on March 1st with a surprise proposal by Tom.

“The timing could not have been more perfect – we were with close friends on our anniversary. I dropped to one knee with the ring and asked the love of my life to marry me,” said Tom. “She was caught totally by surprise but said yes. We could not be any happier right now and want to thank everyone for their loving words and support during this amazing time in our lives.”

Gloriana Sharing The Love With A Valentine’s Day Contest

Gloriana.

It’s not one of our contests, but we like to share the love.  In this case, we’re sharing the love with (and from) our friends in Gloriana.

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, Tom, Mike and Rachel are playing the role of Cupid.  Actually, it’s more like Cupid mixed with Santa Claus, because along with loving, it appears they’re in a giving mood, too.  What they’re doing is giving fans a chance to win a $100 gift card, plus two tickets and meet and greet passes to the Gloriana show of their choice.

Their current single, (Kissed You) Good Night, is at number #32 in the latest Mediabase chart and climbing.  In the video for that song, the guy does end up kissing the girl.  But for many of us, that moment passes without us taking action.  What Gloriana is looking for is your “should have” moment.  They’re asking for fans to submit videos that are no longer than 15 seconds.  The good news is, you don’t have to say a single word — everything you have to say will you write on posters.
