![]() It was a blast to be able to answer pretty much the same questions about our song, video and our careers up to this point at each stop. By the third or fourth stop, we were smiling, posing, and acting like we'd done this before! :) After that, the first few press stops took us a second to get into the groove, and figure out what the heck was going on. The first order of business on the Red Carpet was to sign the 2009 CMA Chevy Camaro. It was an extra special treat to get out of the truck and actually hear people yelling "Due West!" That felt really good! He drove us down to the Sommet where the red carpet fans awaited in their multitudes. With the help of Cardin & Brooke we headed out looking spiffy! Our good buddy Scott Ford was our chauffeur in his pimped out Toyota truck. On our way out the door, we had the privilege of dropping by the notorious Gift Room! Inside, we filled our shopping bags with a loot consisting of boutique jewelry, designer boots, spa packages, perfumes, skin products.the works! We were ecstatic! It was also good to be hanging there once again with fellow country music artists such as Clay Walker, Chad Brock, Danielle Peck and Trent Tomlinson.Īfter the radio remotes, we headed back over to Music Row to relax for a bit and get ready for the Red Carpet. We ended up doing well over a dozen interviews, or 'remotes' as they call them, before the morning was through. It was so great to see Keith here on our turf, and yet be broadcasting back to Salt Lake to some of our biggest and best fans. Our man Keith Stubbs from 101.5 The Eagle in Salt Lake city did our first interview of the day from the CMT studios in downtown Nashville. ![]() The day began at 7am with a series of on-air radio interviews with stations from all over the country. For the first time ever, and to our excitement, we were eligible to take part in the day's events. On Wednesday, November 11th, 2009, Music City held the 43rd annual CMA Awards Show. THAT is what we live for - THAT is why we do all of this! In the mean time, we are also in the process of booking shows around the country, and can't wait to get back out on the road and on the stage! We do enjoy the business end of things, but NOTHING compares to the feeling of playing country music to you all. Once these logistics are worked out, we will begin the process of choosing and promoting the second single by visiting radio stations around the country and shooting a second video. It takes a great team of many talented professionals working behind the scenes to accomplish the kind of national exposure that we achieved in 2009 and hope to achieve on an even higher level in 2010. We are currently working out the logistics to make this next step happen. The goal here being to generate enough momentum and artist-awareness to fortify a national album release. Typically the next step in the process is to release a second single to radio, and a follow-up video to the networks. Thank you to Larry Pareigis and the whole Nine North promotion staff, Glenn Sweitzer, Jules Wortman, Kristen Palmer, Jason Deere, Nancy Tunick and the MANY others who worked tirelessly on "I Get That All The Time". None of 2009 would have been possible without our amazing team of people behind us. We hope to make you all proud in this new year! A HUGE thanks goes out to GAC for their support in getting our video seen by so many people. Thank you to all of the country radio stations who got on board with us, and took a chance on an unknown independent. ![]() Running our own record label has proven to be a very challenging adventure, but we are proud of the successes we had in 2009 with our debut single and video "I Get That All The Time". So what's the plan for 2010? I'm sure many of you are wondering what our next step is. It truly means the world to us to have such thoughtful friends and fans. Thank you all for the holiday wishes, gifts, and comments sent. We all enjoyed a wonderful holiday season with family and friends many memories were made. Happy New Year! It's been a while since our last blog, and we wanted to catch everybody up on all things Due West.
