Hey Y’all: Celebrating Country!

Dust off your cowboy boots, pull out your hats get ready for some good country music with a side of BBQ to celebrate National Cowboy Day! July 22nd was the day for celebrating the western lifestyle, and honoring cowboy roots. We are going to the place that has it all “TEXAS”!

Country music is not hard to find in Texas. There are however some historical locations that make you feel like everybody is somebody. That is right I am talking about Luckenbach. Know for its old west style saloon, dance hall & general store located in Fredericksburg, TX. It all started back in the summer of  1973 when Jerry Jeff Walker, along with the Lost Gonzo Band, recorded the live album Viva Terlingua at the Luckenbach dance hall. The album became an outlaw country classic. Later in 1977, after Crouch’s death in 1976, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson vaulted Luckenbach in the national spotlight with the #1 country and #25 Pop charting song “Luckenbach, Texas” (Back to the basics of Love)

Texas barbecue has no peer on earth. Usually they are small establishments with little décor but the warmest atmosphere and delicious food that will have you coming back to savor over and over. Once in a while you will find them located out in a field with picnic tables seating over 800 and a barbeque sauce that has no tomatoes so it won’t burn. The Salt Lick has over 50 years’ experience cooking their slowly over an open fire fed by live oak. On a Saturday night you may have a little bit of a wait they serve over 2,000 in just one night.

The Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame is located in the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. It features more than 100 inductees. Well-known names include country music legend George Strait and 9-time world champion rodeo cowboy.
You can also visit the Frontier Times Museum located in the Cowboy capital of the world. You certainly don’t want to miss The Fort Worth Stockyards while celebrating the American cowboy. It was named “The best tribute event” by American Cowboy Magazine. If you are ready for some live rodeo action head over to the historic Cowtown Coliseum of the Forth Worth Stockyards. There’s nothing that says cowboy better than hopping on horseback for a trail ride.

BROADWAY HERE SHE COMES!

Singer Songwriter: Jeneen Terrana

Jeneen Terrana just spent the last two months performing in her very first play the Shakespeare production – Macbeth! It makes perfect sense she would fit well into the Broadway scene. She spent her life listening to her Sicilian Grandfather act out full operas every Sunday around the dinner table.  He would play every role and on occasion ask Jeneen to jump in and play a character.
When asked if she would like to play the role of one of the witches of Macbeth she jumped at the chance. The director was pushing the envelope with his version of Macbeth. Rather than the stage being set in cold, foggy Scotland, a place whose spirit seems to permeate the play, it was being re-set on a tropical island in the Pacific. Jeneen was cast for the role of Kaiwhatu (a Maori name) that translate as the Three Fates in Greek mythology. They embody the spirit world of the island’s indigenous people. The performance was held in Brooklyn at the Theater 2020116 Pierrepont St. BrooklynNY and Cadman Plaza ParkBrooklynNY  Jeneen is currently auditioning for future roles in other plays.  You can Watch the Trailer and Visit the Theater on Facebook 

Jeneen will also be in the studio recording some tracks for songwriter Dennis Bergman’s upcoming album. They will be performing together July 26 At The Ridge 1281 Salt Springs Rd Chittenango, NY. She will perform a duet show with Silbin Sandovar Aug 2 in Queens. Then a show with her band for the Queens of Queens festival on August 27th. Make sure to also stay connected to her schedule of events on her website. She’s been writing some brand-new tracks, and is looking forward to recording a new album this fall.

ROOTS DEEP IN COUNTRY MUSIC

Country Artist: Abbie Lynn

Roots Deep In Country Music – Abbie Lynn

“The Judds, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Rascal Flatts, Faith Hill, Reba and Miss Loretta Lynn, I have been influenced by all these great stars as I have developed my own unique sound”.

At an early age, Abbie Lynn started learning how to play guitar and later became the song director in her National youth group. Her time in the National youth group doing music really supported her and got her through some tough times. It helped her recognize the power in music and what she could achieve as an artist.

Her live performance was at her elementary school [Park Maitland] when she was 10 years old. Ever since then a solid emphasis on theatre and arts provided her a strong background in stage performance. “I love working the big stage; it is exciting whenever I get to sing to my fans”, she said. As the song director of the National youth music group, she explored and performed on some very big stages across the country. “I have been taught to be hard working and give my very best to whatever I am doing, all thanks to my family”.

Being around her friends, family and fans make it easier to pursue her career while still concentrating and loving “Motherhood”. Abbie Lynn handles her music business with love, patience and a lot of support from fans; just the same way she handles her family. She is a successful Top 40 country music artist that has concluded her most-recent album project in Nashville. The country music star was born in South Florida and was brought up in Orlando, her country music career started in Central Florida, now she is among the big shots on the worldwide stage. She has performed at CMA Fest which sees over 350 thousand fans and also in Nashville at the popular BB King Palace. Love to Burn reached the billboard Top 200.

SHOW OFF YOUR LOVE OF MUSIC

Strung

With creativity time and love anything is possible. That is exactly what Jenny and Tim were thinking when they created their first-ever Strung bracelet. The duo are part of a band called Blameshift. They have been around the music industry for over 10 years, traveling half a million miles and playing over 2,000 shows. They know just about everything there is to know about the music industry.

In mid-July 2014 in Clifton New Jersey as Jenny watched Tim change his guitar strings her eyes glanced over to see the strings wrapped in a circular fashion. Her mind wandered to the idea of re-purposing these old guitar strings that she had seen for years laying around the bus. With some creativity time and a whole lot of love they formed the first strung bracelet. The fans went crazy they sold out the first night. Jenny was under extreme pressure to have enough bracelets ready for the next show the following night. They worked through the night. Fans from all around the country we’re soon telling them that the bracelets brought them good luck it made them feel happy. Jenny and Tim soon realized that they had a secondary stream of income that was helping propel their musical dreams.

MIXING SWEET TREATS AND MELODIES

Singer/Songwriter: Jeneen Terrana

Jeneen has been making music since the age of five. Growing up around a Sicilian Italian Table where her grandparents would sing during Sunday dinners it is no wonder why Jeneen Terrana created a career around music and food. She recalls how her mom used to bake a lot and she’d always give her the leftover batter to put into her Easy Bake Oven. After studying Opera in college she moved to NYC to make a name for herself. While chasing her dreams she realized she needed to stand out in the crowd. What better way then to blend together a little music and a little sweet treat. Jeneen would bring her homemade sweet treats for the crowds to enjoy but she realized they would disappear before she even finished her first set. The crowds were growing larger and the demand for her sweet treats grew as well. After her first cheesecake raffle she realized she could take this passion even further. With the help of Internet technology rocket hub she was able to do a fund me campaign. Janine had a target of raising $4000 to help get her into the studio to record her album. She was in the kitchen non stop and after 3 months she exceeded her goal she hit $4,500. This not only got her into the studio but it also got her noticed by The Food Network. Jeneen shared her recipe for her four-layer chocolate cheesecake for the first time ever on “Homemade in America” with Sunny Anderson
