Rhonda Vincent April 18, 2005 For Immediate Release Rhonda Vincent Films CMT.com's Studio 330 Sessions Web Surfers Go Behind The Scenes Nashville, TN - Rounder recording artist Rhonda Vincent recently stopped by the downtown Nashville CMT studios to film a segment of CMT.com's new online feature "STUDIO 330 SESSIONS." "I'm really excited to be a part of this new and innovative feature on CMT.com. I spend hours on my bus traveling from city to city and surf the web constantly. STUDIO 330 SESSIONS gives fans the chance to see us perform and also, while they're on the site, they can get all sorts of information and view photos of not only us, but also many other performing artists. It's like having 'all access' to our day to day lives," stated Vincent. Vincent and her band The Rage performed "I've Forgotten You," "Jolene," "You Can't Take It with You When You Go" and "Last Best Place" all songs from Vincent's current CD/DVD project, Ragin' Live. Although the atmosphere is 'backstage one on one' style, verses the formal setting of the DVD which was recorded at the elegant Shelton Theater in St. Louis, it affords web surfers to get a taste of what is available on the Ragin' Live project right from their personal computers. Vincent's segment will begin airing on CMT.com at noon Central on Tuesday, April 19th, STUDIO 330 SESSIONS is a unique presentation of informal performances from established country stars and exciting new artists. Taped at CMT's Nashville studio, STUDIO 330 SESSIONS features stripped down, spontaneous performances of new material and signature hits streamed exclusively on CMT.com. Each Tuesday a new performer will be added to the STUDIO 330 SESSIONS lineup. In addition to intimate performances, fans can find biographical information, tour dates, photos, discography, message boards and related Web links on CMT.com. http://www.cmt.com/music/studio_330_sessions/ For More Information Contact: EMC Diana Henderson (615)799-8260 EMCnash@comcast.net www.rhondavincent.com  April 21, 2005 For Immediate Release Rhonda Vincent Fans Get Ready to TIVO "I've Forgotten You" Video a 'CMT Sneak Peak ' Nashville, TN - For those fans eager to view Rhonda Vincent's new Rounder Records video "I've Forgotten You" rumor has it that CMT TV will do a "Sneak Peak" on Thursday, April 21st during their "Top Twenty Countdown." Viewer's will be treated to seeing the video prior to it's arrival on the network's "World Premier" on "Wide Open Country" on April 24th . With "I've Forgotten You" Vincent exhibits her extensive acting skills, playing opposite gorgeous actor, Ben Browning. Vincent expertly delves into the dilemma faced by the lead character, whose mind doesn't want to "forget" this beautiful past love. Vincent shines as her character unwillingly finds herself remembering the couple's tender moments together and shows the unwanted pain she experiences now that they are no longer a couple. "It wasn't hard to pretend to be infatuated with Ben. He's gorgeous; the next Ashton Kutcher," exuded Vincent in describing her video experience. "He even made the snow sledding scenes HOT." Each week, Top Twenty Countdown host, Lance Smith, counts down the week's top videos on CMT TV, as well as sharing the No. 1 video from 2004. He'll be slipping in the 'sneak peak' of Vincent's "I've Forgotten You" into the two and a half hour program. The video which was filmed in various Washington locales including the Cascade Mountains, Puget Sound and Seattle, as well as Nashville, TN., was produced and directed by Avenue B Pictures' Brent Hedgecock. "I've Forgotten You" is Vincent's current radio single and is from her just released DVD/CD project on Rounder, "Ragin' Live" High Resolution Photo: "I've Forgotten You" Rhonda and Ben For More Information Contact: EMC Diana Henderson (615)799-8260 EMCnash@comcast.net www.rhondavincent.com

Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan BREAKING OUT. My songs are bipolar... either way upbeat... often to the point of slapstick comedy, or way down in the dumps. I have tried to explain this to people who have asked, but I never got it quite right. Let me try again. I've been in some hopeless places, and humor was my defense against fear and depression. I guess that shows up in my funny material. When I write the real downers, I’m mostly writing from personal experience, and I’d like to think I’m speaking for the people who are currently living in those little hells. Maybe my words can make them think about getting out. Sometimes we live in mind prisons that look real, but maybe we can break out if we’re not afraid to take a chance. Leaving the rut we're used to is seldom easy. Prisoners can get attached to their cells. Here’s a song I wrote about a couple who are going through the pain of a big life change. SECOND TUESDAY IN DECEMBER. (He sings) Second Tuesday in December, icy rain is falling down I took the bus out to the city line, and then I watched it turn around. Now as I walk down past the junkyard by the closed-up drive-in show I realize that really leaving is the only way I'll ever go. (She sings) It was the seventh of September, nineteen hundred sixty nine 95 degrees and rising, we crossed the Pennsylvania line. We paid a judge our last ten dollars to bless us with his legal seal. I guess that putting love on paper doesn't always make it real (Together) Second Tuesday in December, icy rain is coming down. All the snow that's left from Monday lies gray and frozen on the ground It's hard to understand this feeling that a part of me is gone Second Tuesday in December... Looks like winter's coming on. Jack Blanchard www.jackandmisty.com © 2005 "SECOND TUESDAY IN DECEMBER. Today our genius friend Gayle Noble put up a page where you can go to hear it, music and all.

PETE SCHLEGEL KICKS OFF POUR ME ONE TOUR Country music artist Pete Schlegel will be hitting the road this May on his “Pour Me One” Tour. The tour will hit 18 cities across the Midwest in support of his new single, “Somethin’ Strong,” from his current CD Strong Stuff. Pete Schlegel has had 3 national U.S. releases. “Short For Gone” spent 14 weeks on the Music Row charts before peaking at 51 in March 2004. The second release, “Leaving Ain’t As Easy As It Sounds,” spent 15 weeks on the Music Row charts before peaking at 54 in September 2004. Schlegel was chosen by Great American Country as the “Hot Pick” artist for November and December 2004 with the video for his third single, "It Takes A Whole Lotta Liquor To Like Her”. “Liquor to Like Her” has also been receiving airplay on VH1 Country. Pete Schlegel’s music isn’t easily tagged, but a guitar-driven, up-tempo, honky-tonk sound describes it best. Reminiscent of his inspirations, Ernest Tubb, George Jones, and Brooks & Dunn, Schlegel’s sound is timeless. Schlegel’s vocals are delivered just the way they’re written: genuinely. No pretension or glossy over-production, just the range of human emotions and experience of one man. For more information, please contact Laura Claffey at publicityhouse@comcast.net  or 615-825-0019. Please add the show/s in your area to your events calendar. Photos, music, show tickets for reviews, and interviews available by request.
