Fan Club Newsletter-Summer 2008 Update - July 18, 2008
Hello Everyone,
It's been awhile, so we thought we'd better let you know what's been going on.
Taryn is very busy performing both with Bob Manning and Nashville West, and as a solo act with Nashville West backing her. They are based in Oregon, but I will be letting you know of two upcoming Washington shows for our friends up here. And, as always, please keep checking www.taryncross.com and www.MySpace.com/taryncross for her performance schedule.
We have been contacted by Ruthanna Straton of Galaxy Entertainment in Nashville. We are very pleased to announce that Galaxy is handling the release of Taryn's single, "I Can Break My Own Heart", by Marc Kuchner and Stacey Magers, to country radio. The single appears on the CDX Compilation #451, and will go out to over 2000 plus radio stations. Just as a point of interest, the single was released the same week as singles by Jessica Simpson, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Randy Travis, Sara Evans, and Lee Ann Womack to name a few. Very stiff competition for a new artist, keep your fingers crossed. So far, Taryn has had airplay in Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Louisianna, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. We are very grateful to Galaxy Entertainment for their support and expertise. Taryn is also getting airplay on Ladies of Country Music Radio for three of her songs, "I Can Break My Own Heart"', "The Good Life"' and "This Heart of Mine".
We were contacted by Bellingham film producer, Eero Johnson, about making a video for "I Can Break My Own Heart". Eero has some great ideas, we will begin shooting very soon.
Taryn will be in the recording studio with Bob Manning and Nashville West starting on July 27, recording their new CD. She will have lead vocals on five songs, five duets with Bob, and I believe at this writing, Bob will have lead vocals on three. Bob's main question these days, "Whose band is this, anyway?' Taryn actually co-wrote three of the songs, we are very excited for you all to hear this new project.
Taryn has been very busy with her guitar and writing songs. She and our friend, singer/songwriter, Chris Stephens, were able to perform a song they co-wrote during our recent trip to Nashville. Taryn was back-up vocalist for Chris' gig at the Frisky Berry in Franklin, and Chris was very generous in allowing Taryn to sing lead on their song, "Reminding Me of You".
Our friend, songwriter Rod Stone, has some very exciting news, his song "USA Today", will be on Lee Greenwood's new project. We are very hopeful that it will actually be the title cut and first single, we'll keep you posted.
So....for our Washington friends, the information on the two upcoming Washington shows:
