“We’re All For The Hall” Announcement
Keith Urban‘s “We’re All For The Hall” benefit concert for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will return for the fourth consecutive year.
The show, which will feature an all-star lineup, will take place at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on April 16th, 2013. Some of the invited artists include Keith, Vince Gill, Trace Adkins, Jason Aldean, Rosanne Cash, Eric Church, Brantley Gilbert, Kid Rock, Kris Kristofferson, Loretta Lynn, Tim McGraw, Montgomery Gentry, Willie Nelson, Billy Joe Shaver and Hank Williams, Jr.
This year’s theme will be “Rebels and Renegades, the Outlaws are IN”. The past three benefit concerts have raised a collective $1.5 million, which is directed toward the Museum’s operating expenses, caring for the collection, exhibitions, programs, and more.
Museum board president Vince Gill created All for the Hall, an artist-led fundraising initiative for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Funds raised from the concert also go toward preservation efforts, exhibitions and educational programs about the culture and value of country music.
“The purity in making music on your own terms – to create art in your own way – for me, is at the heart of the outlaw spirit,” said Urban. “It’s those outlaws that we celebrate this year, who not only made it possible for a guy like me to do what I love, but who play a pivotal role in the strength of Country music’s diversity.”
Tickets will go on sale on March1st at 10AM CST. For ticket and VIP package information, visit Ticketmaster.com.

Montgomery Gentry Release So Called Life Video
Country music duo Montgomery Gentry are taking things back to their roots with the launch of their brand new music video “So Called Life” today. The latest single off of their “Rebels On The Run” album has reunited the pair with their old sponsor Jim Beam, who premiered the music video twenty minutes ago on their Facebook page. Montgomery Gentry got their start in 1994 with Jim Beam’s Country Band Search, and that was the reason why the pair decided they had to partner up with the number one bourbon company again.
Fans interested in checking out the world premiere of “So Called Life” can visit the Jim Beam Facebook page right now before catching it anywhere else!
Montgomery Gentry are out on the road, with their next tour stop in Louisville, Kentucky on Friday night. Best of all? It’s a FREE show, so make sure to get your information and head out to see some great, free country music this weekend.

Montgomery Gentry Teaming Up With Professional Championship Bullriders For Tour
Country music duo Montgomery Gentry have caught the attention of the Professional Championship Bullriders, and the two forces will team-up together for a 2012 co-headlining arena tour kicking off in January. The tour will feature 35 of the world’s best bullriders taking on the nation’s toughest, rankest bulls in the world, and when the dust settles, a Montgomery Gentry concert at each stop.
“We’re pairing some of the toughest superstars in all of professional bull riding and the rowdiest duo in all of country music,” said a Professional Championship Bullriders spokesman. ”This tour will be an affordable night of entertainment for the entire family including plenty of non-stop action that will keep you on the edge of your seat.”
The first two dates will go on sale are the first two dates of the tour on January 13th and 14th, 2012 at Battle Creek, Michigan’s Kellogg Arena and the February 3rd date at Chicago’s Sears Center Arena. Ten dates have been confirmed so far, with additional dates to be announced in the New Year.
“We’ve done bull riding and rodeo shows our entire careers,” said Montgomery Gentry’s Troy Gentry. “Our audiences definitely cross over, and to be on a full-blown tour with these guys really takes it to a new level.”
“Yeah, people say we’re crazy for what we do, but it’s nothin’ like these bull riders,” added MG’s microphone-spinning Eddie Montgomery. “You’ll probably see us in the crowd every night watchin’ these guys try to ride a 2000-pound pissed off bull. Now that’s some entertainment!”
Tickets for the January 13 & 14 dates range from $35.00 to $55.00, and children ages 12 and under are $15.00. All tickets are plus applicable taxes and fees. Tickets for the February 3rd date range from $17.00 to $52.00, children 12 and under are $10 – all plus applicable taxes and fees.
