TruCountry Music Debuts on RFD-TV
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—December 17, 2009-- RFD-TV, Rural America’s Most Important Network, announces the debut of TruCountry Music at the Circle T Arena. Each episode contains a half-hour showcase of the finest traditional country music that America has to offer, and will premier on January 1, 2010. Recorded live at the four-acre Circle T Arena in Hamilton, Texas, each episode of TruCountry features live performances by some of the nation’s most authentic country music artists, playing good-time songs to a jam-packed dance floor.
Hosted by Rockwell, a legend in the Bakersfield honky-tonk scene, TruCountry presents the singing and songwriting of traditional country artists like Amber Digby (“Heart I’m Ashamed of You”), Heather Myles (“Big Cars”, “One-Man Woman”), Darrell McCall (“Hud”, “Eleven Roses”), Mona McCall, Leona Williams, James Hand, Justin Trevino, Bobby Flores, Jake Hooker, Miss Leslie, Bode Barker, Dallas Wayne, Jim Loessberg, and many more. Each episode is full to the brim with hot ‘n heavy shuffles, heartfelt ballads, shimmering steel guitar, and foot-stompin’, boot-scootin’ Americana.
TruCountry is the real deal: authentic, down-home, honky-tonk country that represents the musical heritage of America. The show highlights both veteran performers and young artists who embrace the true roots of country music. Think of it as “Austin City Limits” for the kind of hardcore country that is increasingly hard to find on the radio. Here’s what some of the TruCountry artists have to say:
Leona Williams: I think it’s going to be the best thing we’ve had going in
country music in a long time. The atmosphere was great, the sound was
wonderful, and we had so many great artists on hand for the show. I think
it will do a lot for country music today!
Heather Myles: TruCountry is a night of the best traditional country
music in America. This is real; this is authentic. This music really speaks
to the working class, and that’s who we’re playing it for. It’s America’s
music. It’s important, it’s pure, and it’s the real deal.
TruCountry will air every Friday at 1:30 PM(EST) and 11:30PM(EST), then again on Sunday at 2:30PM (EST) on RFD-TV. Visit www.rfdtv.com/findrfdtv for listings in your local area.
