Nashville, TN (November 26, 2007) - Arrowhead Records' Jeff Griffith grabs 
the hometown limelight when he returns to Marguerite's (3300 Avenue A, Santa

Jeff's debut CD, IF IT AIN'T ONE THING IT'S ANOTHER, released nationwide on 
November 6, was produced by country legend Joe Stampley.  Rave reviews are 
coming in from the media both here in the States and overseas.  The CD has 
already generated three hit singles "Drinkin' Thing," "If It Ain't One Thing 
It's Another," and "I'm Your Radio," which is #38 on the national Music Row 
chart this week.   Griffith, who's been burnin' up the Texas dancehall 
circuit with his seven-piece band (including recent performances with Joe 
Stampley, Sammy Kershaw and Heartland), recently made a quick solo trip to 
Nashville to promote his new CD.  While there, he enjoyed a flurry of radio, 
TV and live performances, including acoustic performances for staffers of 
Country Weekly, and Music Row magazine; filmed interviews with Cybercountry 
and Inside Music Row (syndicated TV), and an hour-long visit on WSM Radio's 
Morning Show with Bill Cody .

Bomshel Performs for Troops in South Korea



(Nashville, Tennessee -- November 19th, 2007) Curb recording duo, Bomshel 
just returned from South Korea after making a series of army camp 
appearances including stops at Camp Hovey, Camp Humphreys, Camp Casey, Camp 
Walker, and Yongsan Garrison (Seoul) as part of a MWR (Morale, Welfare, 
Recreation) sponsored tour. Bomshel entertained troops overseas; performing 
high-energy sets and signing autographs at camp visits.


General Bell, senior member of the United State Army, and his wife Katie who 
hail from Tennessee and have an affinity for country music followed Bomshel 
and were delighted to have them in South Korea. The Bell's monitored the 
tour closely and attended the final performance which was sponsored by 
"Stars for Stripes." "Stars for Stripes" is a non-profit 501-C-3 corporation 
based in Nashville, Tennessee, dedicated to providing quality celebrity 
entertainment to troops deployed to remote areas overseas.


At each performance, Bomshel took the stage and impressed the American and 
Korean attendees. Their current single, "The Power of One" received a 
wholehearted response with its obvious tie-in with the slogan "An Army of 
One."


A tour of the demilitarized zone (DMZ) was a highlight of the group's visit. 
Everyone walked away from the experience with a better understanding of 
relations between Korea and America. The military newspaper, Stars and 
Stripes, once again supported the tour by holding a drawing at each camp 
wherein a lucky winner was taken backstage to meet Bomshel. The prize 
package included autographed items, cash, and their photo in Stars and 
Stripes.


Prior to their tour of South Korea, Bomshel performed at the 19th 
Anniversary of the Country Gold Festival in Kumamoto, Japan where a group of 
junior high students joined Bomshel on stage and danced to "The Bomshel 
Stomp." Joining Mark Chesnutt, The Lost Trailers, Cherryholmes, and Charlie 
Nagatani and the Cannonballs, the group performed before a crowd of over 
20,000 enthusiastic Japanese fans. Country Gold is co-produced by Judy Seale 
International, Inc., also based in Nashville, Tennessee.

at 615-872-2122 or judy@starsforstripes.com. You may also visit

EMMA MAE JACOB'S DEBUT SINGLE HEADS FOR THE AIRWAVES
"What If We Fly" GOES FOR RADIO ADDS


NASHVILLE, TN-November 19, 2007-Country recording artist Emma Mae Jacob 
(record label: Sassy Angel) launches her recording career this week with the 
release of her debut single "What If We Fly" to radio stations across the 
United States. The song, written by Mark Selby and Tia Sillers and produced 
by Biff Watson, gives Jacob's forthcoming album release its first single and 
an emotional cornerstone from which the remainder of the album was built. 
"What If We Fly" showcases Jacob's range and power as well as her skill at 
capturing the essence of a song, connecting with listeners and taking them 
to a special place.

The song tells a story of new love but also provides the prefect metaphor 
for Jacob's own journey toward success. "'What If We Fly' is much bigger 
than it's literal message," says 16-year old Jacob. "I loved the song the 
very first time I heard it because it talks about taking a chance, and 
that's what I'm doing right now-going after my dreams."

Robert K. Oermann reviewed the single in Music Row magazine and gave Jacob 
his "DisCovery" award. Oermann writes, "While the ear-tickling track 
glistens and glitters around her, she begins in a calm, deliberate alto. As 
I had hoped, the track shifts from a ripple to a tidal wave and she vaults 
up into her power range on the ultra uplifting choruses. An over-the-fences 
home run." Oermann's "DisCovery" comments give praise to Watson who produced 
all of the tracks on Jacob's upcoming CD. "If I were a newcomer-or an 
established star for that matter-I'd want Biff Watson behind the board when 
I went into the studio. He is the producer behind the glorious sound of 
'What If We Fly' by Emma Mae Jacob. Sure, she sings great. But one reason 
she's the DisCovery Award winner this week is that her single's track sounds 
as good as she does."

Jacob has been enchanted by music since the days when she and her mother 
sang "Somewhere Over The Rainbow," with Jacob still in her high chair in 
Costa Mesa, California. She was exposed to a variety of musical styles 
including that of Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles, but it was listening to 
Patsy Cline that set off a lifelong love of country music. "Country tells a 
story," says Jacob. "and it can make you laugh or cry. It's pretty much like 
a show in a three-minute song."

She moved from the high chair to the elementary school chorus and was later 
spotlighted as first soprano in the Pacific Symphony Children's Choir. She 
performed at county fairs and competitions, one of which landed her a trip 
to New York for a performance on the nationally broadcast "Showtime At The 
Apollo." She was eleven years old at that time.

She and her family lived in Colfax, California before moving to Nashville 
with firm intent on pursuing a country music recording career. Her only 
recording experience in California had been karaoke tracks in tiny studios, 
and so her first Nashville recording session, "was a little nerve-wracking," 
she says, "but once we started, it was awesome." Jacob's debut album, 
BREAKING ALL THE RULES, will introduce country fans to compelling young 
woman, both musically and personally.

"My job is to sing as well as I can and to make people happy," says Jacob. 
Still a teenager, Emma Mae Jacob is an old soul and a spirit wise beyond her 
years. "Day to day, I don't sweat the small stuff, I pay attention to the 
big stuff, and I always reflect and remain grateful for all the good stuff." 
There is no release date available for the CD at this time. Visit Jacob's 
website at www.emmamaejacob.com or her myspace site at 
www.myspace.com/emmamaejacob.
