In the last eight months, Judy Seale,
President and CEO of Judy Seale International has
produced and facilitated over thirty international
festivals and concert events in 13 countries to
bring Country music to a new and growing audience;
the international audience.
NASHVILLE, Tennessee (PRWEB) In the last
eight months, Judy Seale, President and CEO of
Judy Seale International has produced and
facilitated over thirty international festivals
and concert events in 13 countries to bring
Country music to a new and growing audience--the
international audience. She's orchestrated events
spanning from Holland, Switzerland, Norway, Japan,
Spain, Sweden, France, and Scotland and has
coordinated concert events for the benefit of our
troops in Kuwait, Qatar, Korea and Iraq. She's
acted as international talent coordinator for
numerous festivals throughout Europe and Asia.
This year Judy Seale International has brought
artists overseas to perform in front of crowds
ranging from 250 to 30,000. Offering their talents
in the effort to bring Country music abroad this
year include recording artists Deborah Allen, the
Bellamy Brothers, Jolie Edwards, Danni Leigh, Brad
Martin, Heather Myles, Brad Paisley and Chely
Wright to name a few.
According to Seale, "An international tour is
an educational and memorable experience for any
artist. But more important, overseas opportunities
can expand artist development potential in the
long term to build a base which can last for many
years--extending the artist's career overall.
Touring internationally is a win-win for the
artist and our international friends who enjoy
their music."
Judy's international efforts span over sixteen
years beginning with her first tour in Japan to
accompany Brenda Lee who performed in more than 12
cities. Seale's international tour achievements
include production of the "first"
country events in Japan, Hong Kong, Brazil,
Thailand, Argentina, and Manila.
In addition to producing international tours and
festivals, Judy Seale International currently
provides management services on behalf of Jolie
Edwards, Pat Boone, and Shalom.
Her charitable endeavors include soliciting
artists to perform for the U.S. military based
throughout the world. These military tours have
provided welcomed entertainment for troops serving
in the conflicts in Haiti, Bosnia, Afghanistan,
Kuwait, Uzbekistan and Kosovo as well as Christmas
Tours for troops away from family and friends
while based in remote locations during the
holidays.
Seale recognizes strong and growing interest in
Country music from the UK, Ireland, Scandanavia
and Australia. In 2004, Judy Seale International
has artists scheduled to perform in Switzerland,
Japan, Norway, Sweden, and Korea.
Seale adds, "It's amazing, when considering
technology alone, the world is becoming a smaller
place."
Seale is currently in the development stages to
organize Stars for Stripes, a non-profit
organization to support our troops stationed
overseas. Details to follow.

"AN
EVENING WITH LARRY GATLIN
AND
THE GATLIN BROTHERS."
SPECIAL
DVD RELEASE. FIRST OF A TWO PART SERIES
Nashville- Have you ever
seen, or remember seeing, a real first class entertainer…someone
who shows you many faces of the entertainment sphere in one
single setting…an entertainer who can
completely captivate any audience with effortless
command from start to finish…an entertainer who's quick
witted humor grips the very
core of your laughter with a logical brilliancy that can
only be found on the other side
of "crazy," somewhere deep down in the heart of
"been there, done
that," Texas…an entertainer who's voice is still
perfectly unaffected by the
wear and tear of a 40 year star-studded career, not to
mention three vocal surgeries
completed, and sings with soul that far exceeds his
religious nature…quite
simply, have you ever seen a man who's live performance is
the quintessential example of
"genuine showmanship?" No? Well, then you haven't
seen Larry Gatlin.
"An Evening
with Larry Gatlin and The Gatlin Brothers" is the first
DVD release of a two-part
series available only through www.GatlinBrothers.com.
Brought to you by Intersound/Magnet,
this exclusive live performance footage is among some
of the very first recorded since Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin
Brothers took a break from
their ten-year hiatus and reunited for a select city tour
earlier this year. This
"Homecoming" performance, recorded on country
music's original
"granddaddy" stage in Nashville, Tennessee,
reveals the unmistakable sound
of the three Grammy award-winning brothers who brought the
music world songs like
"All The Gold In California," "Broken
Lady," "Houston," "Statues Without
Hearts," and who can forget "I've Done Enough Dyin'
Today." If you missed the
one-time television debut of "An Evening with Larry
Gatlin and The Gatlin Brothers"
on GAC (Great American Country) that aired earlier this
month then make sure to log on
to the website. This special edition can be yours for $14.98
plus $4.00 shipping and handling.
The second part of the series will bring
you Larry, Rudy, and Steve's
interpretation of a "family Christmas," acclaimed
for their yuletide antics, their
renditions of Christmas classics and their incredible
gift of the Gospel flavor. "Christmastime with Larry
Gatlin and The Gatlin
Brothers" will be released on October 14, 2003. This
special collection will not only make the perfect gift, but
if you yourself are an avid
music lover…here is a state of the art lesson in
"music 101." This is vintage "Gatlin"
and it shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that they
are still on top of their game…don't
believe it? See for yourself.

Under
RADIO SINGLE - 'LUCY &
JEMIMA' - SHANE FLEW
Written and recorded by
Shane Flew.
Lifted from the album '7,000 Miles'

A catchy song
about young teenage girls wanting to grow up too fast! Lucy
and  Jemima
are real girls who are a part of Shane's life. Jemima is
Shane's niece and Lucy, the cousin of a close friend. They
do both live with their families in the country and as yet,
still have never met!
The record shows Shane's talent on vocals,
acoustic and hi-string guitars and of course drums. Shane's
old friend Brad Johns provides electric and 12 string
guitar.
Matt Fell shows of his immense talent by not only playing
bass but he arranged and played all the orchestral string
lines as well!
The beautiful harmonies are performed by the
vocal group "The Margharitas" who include Lori
Matherson, Clare Nabke and Ana Kingy. Together they have
created a truly great radio friendly track!
Now released on the latest NFS 76 CD (Track 6)

are adding this song to their play lists!
