AARON TIPPIN HELPS BRING LEGENDARY WORLD WAR II PLANE TO NEW ORLEANS

(Nashville, TN) - Last week, country music star Aaron Tippin brought along a 
special guest for his performance at the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) 
benefit in New Orleans, Louisiana.  A restored World War II B-25 Mitchell 
bomber, also known as "Panchito," traveled in the air and water to reach her 
destination.and it was Aaron Tippin who helped get her there.

The B-25 bombers are famed for being a major force in bringing hope back to 
the country during WWII.  It was the B-25 that Lieutenant Colonel James 
Doolittle chose to use in a raid against the Japanese after their attack on 
Pearl Harbor.  "Doolittle's Raid" was deemed a success thanks to the sixteen 
B-25 bombers used in the attack.

Aaron Tippin, also a licensed pilot, helped fly one of the restored B-25s 
from Oshkosh, Wisconsin to New Orleans.  Once there Aaron, equipped with his 
very own "Working Man's PhD," helped load the plane onto a barge on Lake 
Pontchartrain.  After being loaded, the legendary aircraft was taken to 
Spanish Plaza and put on display for the DAV benefit show.

"It was a great pleasure to be part of the team that brought 'Panchito' as a 
gift from the DAV to the city of New Orleans" says Aaron.  "Man.it was hot!"

After the aircraft's trip was over, Aaron performed several of his hit songs 
for the DAV benefit.  "Where the Stars and Stripes and The Eagle Flies" was 
included in the performance, an appropriate song for "Panchito" and her 
history.

The DAV organization was honored to have Aaron on hand for the voyage. 
"Aaron is a long time advocate of our service members and veterans and his 
participation in getting 'Panchito' here is greatly appreciated" said Arthur 
H. Wilson, National Adjutant/CEO of DAV. "His music has long evoked 
patriotism and promoted the American way."

The entire trek was filmed by Sleeping Dog Productions for the DAV.  A 
televised documentary is being planned for later in the year.

Aaron Tippin entered the music scene sixteen years ago with "You've Got To 
Stand For Something," a solid workingman's anthem that quickly established 
him as a true spokesman for the American people.  Between 1990 and 1997, he 
had seven hit records and created such memorable singles as "There Ain't 
Nothin' Wrong With The Radio," "That's As Close As I'll Get To Loving You," 
and "I Got It Honest."  With his success and ability to relate to the 
people, he traveled to Saudi Arabia with Bob Hope in the early 90s to become 
the first singer to entertain the troops during the Gulf War.

Laura Bryna Joins Equity Music Group Label Mate
Clint Black on Nationwide Tour

Nashville, TN - Equity Music Group newcomer Laura Bryna will be the special 
guest of Clint Black on his "Up Close and Personal Tour."  Bryna joins the 
tour in Peoria, IL on September 6th.  As part of her first major national 
tour, Bryna will perform in Milwaukee, Galveston, Cincinnati, Des Moines, 
Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, Schenectady, Niagara Falls, Monterey, as part 
of her 34 city tour across America, as she debuts music from her forthcoming 
Equity album titled, TRYING TO BE ME.  "Opening for a superstar like Clint 
Black on my first tour and what I will be able to learn from him is 
indescribable.  I am so excited!" exclaimed Bryna.

Bryna's single, "Make A Wish," will be a highlight of her shows each night. 
The song was co-written by Bryna, whose longtime work with the Make-A-Wish 
Foundation inspired the song. She first became aware of the Make-A-Wish 
Foundation while visiting her brother, who was critically ill at the time 
and in the hospital. "I would see all these kids in the hospital with life 
threatening illnesses and celebrities like Barbara Mandrell and Kenny Rogers 
would come by and visit them.  Seeing the celebrities made the kids so happy 
and helped them forget about their illness for a while. When I was old 
enough I started doing volunteer work for the organization and have been 
involved ever since," says Bryna.

Bryna's single on Equity Music Group, "Make A Wish," will be released to 
radio on September 17th and a video has been completed.

KEVIN FOWLER ON THE ROAD BEHIND UPCOMING RELEASE, 'BRING IT ON,' & 1ST 
CHART-CLIMBING SINGLE

Tour to Take Country Artist around Lone Star State and into Oklahoma

Austin, TX -- Rousing country artist Kevin Fowler, whose upcoming release, 
BRING IT ON (September 25; Equity Music Group), is already generating a big 
cyber-buzz, has begun a CD release tour to bring his pure, working-class 
country sound to venue-packing fans across Texas and in Oklahoma.

Starting this week, Fowler and his band play big venues around Texas and in 
Oklahoma -- from county fairgrounds and festivals to parks and raceways --  
with songs from the upcoming album. Cuts like the funny family-of-origin 
lament "Long Line of Losers," which hit #19 in its first week on The Texas 
Music Chart and has been played more than 55,000 times at Fowler's MySpace 
page. Other songs, including the title track, "Best Mistake I Ever Made" and 
"Me and the Boys," his duet with superstar George Jones, are revving up 
Fowler fans into a frenzy.

BRING IT ON, produced by Blake Chancey, doesn't follow Fowler's typical 
album MO. This time, he's added screaming guitar and a heavy drum beat to 
his traditional country fare, a new sensibility to keep himself and his fans 
on their toes. It's not surprising to learn that Fowler has sold more than 
250,000 records independently and that Jones, Mark Chesnutt and Sammy 
Kershaw have recorded his songs.

Kevin Fowler Upcoming Shows include:

New Light Entertainment/Universal Issues New Lisa O'Kane CD, IT DON'T HURT, 
To North America On October 23

Featuring Albert Lee, Kenny Edwards, Skip Edwards, Taras Prodaniuk & Ernest 
Troost


PLANO, TX (August 22, 2007) - Americana/Roots artist Lisa O'Kane explores 
the "dark end of the street" on her most intimate album to date, IT DON'T 
HURT, for New Light Entertainment/Universal. Recorded in Los Angeles over 
the past two years, the 11-song collection highlights the contrasts in the 
personal life of the California native. Her upbeat personality allows her to 
tackle the hard stuff, and still come out on top. The disc hits store 
shelves across North America on October 23.


While the title track explores the sobering subject of physical abuse - 
O'Kane manages to navigate the listener down that rocky road, and back into 
the light, with perfect emotional tuning. The path to independence is 
explored in the stunning practicality of "Got The Car Running," the story of 
a woman who is waiting only on the inevitable.

A Telecaster-wielding Albert Lee joins Kenny Edwards (Stone Poneys/Bryndle); 
legendary keyboardist Skip Edwards (Dwight Yoakam/Lucinda Williams/Jim 
Lauderdale), bassist extraordinaire, Taras Prodaniuk (Yoakam/Lucinda 
Williams) and Emmy Award-winning composer Ernest Troost to bring the music 
to life - and lay bare the heart and soul of O'Kane. "There's something very 
challenging about surrounding yourself with players of this quality," says 
Lisa.  "They really made me dig deep."


Lisa's growth as a writer is evident in the three, very different songs she 
contributes to the project. The salt and sass of the album's rollickin' 
opener, "Ain't Done Nothin'" is a far cry from the drivimg, "I'm Done," 
while the hypnotic "Pay For My Sins" has  already become an international 
favorite.  With a voice that has drawn comparisons to Linda Ronstadt, Joni 
Mitchell and Emmylou Harris, O'Kane proves she can work her magic on other 
writers' tunes as well, creating an acoustic wonder with her chilling vocal 
on the John Prine classic, "Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness," and 
delivering a stunning performance on the heartbreaking Debra Davis 
composition, "Uninvited Guests." She moves deftly from the album's Roots 
rockers to the full-on, soaring balladry of songs like "Give Me This Night" 
and "Remember This" -  and makes each one intimately and immediately 
believable.

IT DON'T HURT is Lisa's first direct foray into the North American 
marketplace. Already a high-powered player in the international scene, 
O'Kane hopes that this album will help her find her place "at home."

New Light Entertainment
Based in Plano, Texas, New Light Entertainment has secured a multi-year, 
multi-record distribution agreement with Universal Music & Video 
Distribution (UMVD) for distribution by Fontana.

Bomshel Releases "Power of One" To Country Radio

(Nashville, TENN -- August 20th, 2007) Curb duo Bomshel is set to release 
"The Power Of One," an inspirational song about the power that one person 
can have in making a positive difference in the world.  The single has been 
serviced to all monitored and reporting radio stations, and is available 
digitally on Play MPE.

Bomshel fiddler Kristy O. found the song, written by Liz Hengber, in a bag 
of demos.  "I could not believe what I was hearing when I listened to it for 
the first time," she said. "If there was ever a song that said exactly what 
I wanted to say, this was it.  Then when I heard Buffy sing it, that just 
nailed it for me."

Bomshel is produced by Chuck Howard who is well known for his work with 
LeAnn Rimes, Trick Pony, and Hank Williams Jr. "When I first heard the girls 
perform 'The Power of One' I got that same feeling I got when I first heard 
LeAnn Rimes belt out 'Blue,'" Chuck said. "This single is just so powerful 
and real. Kristy and Buffy can't wait for everybody to hear it."

"The Power of One" was included on the recently released Evan Almighty 
soundtrack and is available for digital download on I-Tunes.

Bomshel recently completed a brief tour of Sweden and Denmark.  Riding on 
the major European success of their last single "Bomshel Stomp", their high 
energy show filled venues with enthusiastic young fans.  Bomshel is back in 
the states traveling the country on the Wicked Women of Tequila Rose tour 
sponsored by McCormick Distilling's Tequila Rose Brand.
