George Jones to Receive 2008
Kennedy Center Honors
(Nashville, TN) Country music icon George Jones has been chosen to receive the 2008 Kennedy Center Honors. Jones, who has been called, the "greatest living country singer," earned his reputation by diving so deeply into a song's lyrics that listeners couldn't help but feel an emotional connection to the song and the singer. The country legend first hit the charts in 1955 and since then has won two Grammys, numerous CMA and ACM Awards, has been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, and still headlines nearly 100 shows a year.
"I am completely overwhelmed to be the recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors," said Jones. "I can't believe that I have been included in the same company as previous winners that are country music legends: Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Roy Acuff and Willie Nelson. Since I was a young man, I have just done what I love and that is sing country music, and I never dreamed that something this special would happen to me. I am completely humbled and will be proud to accept the award!"
Since 1978, the Kennedy Center Honors have redefined America's perception of its artistic legacy and reinvented the way this nation rewards artists. The Honors have been compared to a knighthood in Britain, or the French Legion of Honor. At the same time, the annual addition of Honors recipients charts the international standard of excellence set by America's artists, as well as the aesthetic inspiration provided by artists of other nations who have achieved prominence on these shores.
The Honors gala is the Kennedy Center's most important annual fundraising event, supporting its performing arts, education, and outreach programs. In addition to the gala performance in the Center Opera House, the Honorees are treated to a White House reception and banquet.
Bandit Records released GEORGE JONES - BURN YOUR PLAYHOUSE DOWN: the unreleased duets, a collection of never before heard duets between Jones and his illustrious guests on August 19, 2008. The recordings range from the mid-70s with his ex-wife, the "First Lady of Country Music," Tammy Wynette to the most recent recording from 2007 with his daughter, Georgette, the only child from the union of George and Tammy.

COUNTRY MUSIC'S LACEY D WINS
COLGATE COUNTRY SHOWDOWN STATE FINAL
Nashville, Tennessee (September 9, 2008) – Lacey D of Arlington, Washington took the state title and $1,000 at the 27th Annual Colgate Country Showdown Oregon State Final. The Mill Casino Hotel in North Bend showcased ten acts who had won a local contest sponsored by radio stations throughout Oregon and Washington, enabling each to perform at the state level competition of America’s largest country music talent search.
Representing radio station KAPS of Mt. Vernon, Washington, Lacey D, prevailed at Friday’s state level event. Like most singers, Lacey D started singing in school and church choirs. Throughout junior and senior high school she studied voice and trained at a performing arts school in Kirkland, Washington. There she was involved in musical theater, cabaret shows and participated in master classes as well as entertaining at numerous private parties, charity auctions, sporting events, for a Cystic Fibrosis event in Seattle and Western Washington area fairs and festivals. At age 14 she recorded her rendition of the National Anthem. During that process a friend introduced her to a songwriter/producer in Seattle. That meeting led to a 10-year friendship and hundreds of hours in the recording studio. It was through that relationship that a Nashville producer heard her. In early 2007 he expressed an interest in producing an album. Lacey D has seen many doors opened with her in-studio work and recently recorded her first album at the Bayou Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. She was recognized by CMA Close-Up magazine as an “Artist to Watch in 2008”. An excited Lacey D says, “I'm not sure yet where this path will lead, but with the love and support of my family and friends, my dreams are endless and I'm ready for the ride!” For more on Lacey D, visit http://www.laceyd.com/. She won Friday’s competition, with two original pieces, Missin’ Your Love Tonight and Jet Plane. Other acts – listed with their sponsoring radio station – were The Boyle Brothers (Jacob, Jared, Jesse & Jeffrey Boyle) KLYK/KEDO Longview, WA; Nicole Lewis KLAD Klamath Falls, OR; Billy Lund KRWQ Medford, OR; Scott Perry KPOD Crescent City, CA; Suzanne Randle KSHR Coos Bay, OR; Samantha Rogers KSHL Newport, OR; Tristan Nichols KRKT Albany, OR and August Night (Dennis Harris & Grace Harris) KBAM Longview, OR.
On October 18th Lacey D will compete in the West Regional at The Mill Casino Hotel in North Bend, Oregon to determine if she will advance to the National Final. The five regional winners – from across the country – will receive an all expense-paid trip to the National Final to compete for $100,000 and the coveted national title of Best New Act in Country Music. The National Final will air nationwide, over syndicated television in March and April.
About the Showdown: Each spring, more than 50,000 artists compete in the Colgate-sponsored local competitions with 450 radio stations throughout the U.S. and over $300,000 in cash prizes are awarded throughout 500+ live competitions. Local winners then compete at the 48 state and five regional competitions throughout the summer and fall. The Colgate Country Showdown culminates with a national television final competition as the regional winners vie for $100,000 and the title of Best New Act in Country Music. The televised one-hour special has been hosted in the past by country music superstars such as Barbara Mandrell, Reba McEntire, Willie Nelson, etc. The competition boasts a "who's who" in the Country Music industry with past local and regional winners including Brad Paisley, Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, Martina McBride, Billy Ray Cyrus, Sara Evans and Miranda Lambert.
