Root 49 Records recording artist Bridgette Tatum is calling for many loud music and sports fans to appear as extras in a music video for the upcoming 2010 ACC Football season. Tatum’s song “Loud” has recently been named the 2010 ACC Football theme song. The shoot, performed for ACC Advanced Media and Raycom Sports Productions, will take place this Thursday, July 8th at 12th and Porter at 1:30 p.m. To RSVP to the video shoot as an extra, email BTLOUD@gmail.com.

Tatum hasn’t slowed down this year as she criss-crosses the states promoting her music and 6 song EP entitled A Taste Of Sex. Church & Chicken throughout the summer. Her current single, “That’s Love Y’all,” just debuted at #51 on the Billboard Indicator chart and is climbing steadily.

The firecracker brunette was raised on the tent revival brand of soul-shaking gospel, swirling with the Holy Spirit and saturated with raw passion. Music coursed through her veins, seeping deep into her bones, and manifesting as the powerful sultry wailing and soulful crooning that brand Bridgette’s sound uniquely as her own. Bridgette moved to Nashville and worked her way up to the honky-tonks on Broadway and a regular Friday night gig at the Star Café in White’s Creek. It wasn’t until she found a kindred spirit in manager Carolyn Miller, however, that her career began to really take shape.

It was through the encouragement of Carolyn, that Bridgette collaborated musically with the man whom came to be her future producer, Danny Myrick. Their partnership proved as successful in songwriting: they co-wrote “She’s Country,” a #1 hit for Jason Aldean, as well as many of the songs on Bridgette’s new album set to be released this fall.

The firecracker brunette was raised on the tent revival brand of soul-shaking gospel, swirling with the Holy Spirit and saturated with raw passion.  Music coursed through her veins, seeping deep into her bones, and manifesting as the powerful sultry wailing and soulful crooning that brand Bridgette’s sound uniquely as her own.  “Music is what I was put on this earth to do,” she explains, “and it comes from something much bigger than me.  I’m just a vessel for the music.”

 

This clarity of purpose was born, amazingly, of a violent and senseless attack.  During Bridgette’s shift at a local motel, a disgruntled customer took a razorblade to her face, forcing her into six months of recuperation and some serious soul searching.  She recognized her calling in music, and knew that life was too short not to pursue her dream of being a professional singer and songwriter.  Promptly thereafter, Bridgette moved to Nashville.

Following her first outing at a Hall of Fame Lounge writer’s night, Bridgette continued to take in the lay of the land as she worked up to the honky-tonks on Broadway and a regular Friday night gig at the Star Café in White’s Creek.  It wasn’t until she found a kindred spirit in manager Carolyn Miller, however, that her career began to really take shape. 

It was through the encouragement of Carolyn, that Bridgette collaborated musically with the man whom came to be her future producer, Danny Myrick. Their partnership proved as successful in songwriting: they co-wrote “She’s Country,” a #1 hit for Jason Aldean, as well as many of the songs on Bridgette’s forthcoming album.

They laid down 13 tracks at the Studio at the Palms in Las Vegas over an intense five-day period, lending the arrangements a manic creativity that plays off Bridgette’s unique artistry and passion.  The album reflects her many personalities, effortlessly transitioning from defiant, amped-up rockers to tender, intimate ballads to straight-shooting social commentaries. 

“My roots in gospel have shaped everything I’ve done as an artist.  I want my music to be that real and to make people really feel it. If I don’t do that, then I’m not doing my job.  If it’s a ballad, it’s going to touch you,” she continues.  “If it’s a rockin’ tune, you are going to rock and roll till your pants fall off.”

It doesn’t take long to realize that Quarterback/Moxy Records recording artist, Chelsea Field, has what it takes to make it as a star in the music business:  the voice, the songs, the looks…  In fact, all one really has to do is watch this striking entertainer perform in front of a crowd for a song or two and it becomes more than obvious that she has the talent to succeed.  But Chelsea also possesses something a little less evident; something that goes far beyond common surface-level comparisons.  It’s a rare combination of qualities shared by those same artists that have topped the charts and filled the airwaves for decades.  

“Strong-willed”… “Fearless”…  “Opinionated and ambitious”…  “Passionate and personable”...  These are just a few of the traits that have been used to describe Chelsea Field, both on stage and off.  Regardless of how one chooses to phrase it, the truth is that Chelsea knows exactly what she wants as an artist and as a person, and she has little fear about achieving any of her goals.  After all, when your first job is selling construction door-to-door as a teenager, you learn a quick thing or two about persistence and the value of hard work. 

 
“I’ve been singing since I was four years old,” says Chelsea. “It’s something that’s in my blood and kind of always came naturally to me.  I think it was the first time that I saw Shania Twain in concert that I really knew thatperforming, as opposed to just singing, is what I was really meant to do.” 
 

At 19, the Marion, Ohio, native moved to Nashville, where she first began to put the pieces in place for the release of her debut album, produced by award-winning songwriter and producer Trey Bruce (Trace Adkins, Chris Ledoux, Sir Cliff Richard).  Already an accomplished songwriter in her own right, Chelsea continued to craft new material while fielding submissions from some of Nashville’s finest writers in her search for just the right collection of songs.  Finding the ones that balanced her Country influences with her Pop interests was a painstaking and time-consuming process, but one she wasn’t willing to compromise on, she says. 
 
“For better or worse, the songs you choose to put on your album determine how people perceive you and your style as an artist,” she explains.  “It was important for me to find the songs that fit me, because while one song might be great for another singer, it won’t come across to the fans as mine if it sounds like somebody else.” 
 
As a performer, opening for stars like Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, Billy Currington, Phil Vassar, Dierks Bentley, Big & Rich and many others has given Chelsea a valuable opportunity to learn from some of the most successful entertainers in Country music.  It also helped her grow as an artist, developing quite a dynamic stage presence along the way.     
 
“I think that opening for those artists has motivated me even more as a performer, because I’ve been on those big stages, and I’ve felt the energy from those crowds,” she says.  “It just makes me want to work that much harder to get out there again on my own, because that’s where I belong.” 

In many ways, Chelsea Field is already a seasoned artist and performer.  Her understated intensity, coupled with an undeniable will to succeed, has prepared this talented young singer for a long and prosperous career.  
 
“I’ve got all the confidence in the world right now,” she says of her new material and live show.  “Really, I’ve been a performer all my life, and being out in front of all those fans are some of my favorite moments of this whole process… I’ve been waiting all my life for this.”

In addition, Stephen has been hand selected as an “Artist to Watch” on Clear Channel’s NEW!, the broadcast behemoth’s online new music showcase. “Wal-Mart Flowers” will be promoted prominently on over 900 Clear Channel station websites.   

“I knew I was listening to something very special the very first time I heard ‘Wal-Mart Flowers,’” Cochran says. “And now, with industry gatekeepers like R&R and Clear Channel embracing the new single, I know my instincts were right on the money.”  

Between his constant touring activities and his ongoing work on behalf of his fellow veterans (Cochran is a decorated Marine veteran of campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan) the singer found time recently to travel to Hammond, Louisiana, a region where he has a particularly strong fanbase, to film the video for “Wal-Mart Flowers.” Performing the song over and over for a packed house of rabid fans at Hammond’s Chevy’s Night Club, Cochran was able to capture both the magic of the song and incredible energy of his acclaimed live show. The video is completed and is currently being submitted to both CMT and GAC.
