| Ray Stephenson Releases First Single |
| Nashville, TN (June 14, 2010) -- Ray Stephenson's first single release, "Farmboy," is a country-as-dirt romp that's as refreshing as a dip in a cool, clear creek. An anthem to the simple life, "Farmboy" kicks off with a fiddle riff, a chicken-pickin' banjo and simple, but powerful kick-drum beat. The lyrics paint a picture of a hard-working farmer, driving his tractor all day and drinking water from the hose so he "don't get scorched." You can almost see the heat shimmer on the horizon and feel the sweat rolling down this boy's back.

| Country Singer Kyle Park To Release EP On April 6 |
| Austin, TX — Country singer Kyle Park, with his pitch-perfect voice, takes a new tack with the release of his latest CD on April 6: The four-song EP is the first part of a full-length album that he wants his loyal fans to preview and help him create.
Park’s SPRING EP features four of his most powerful, most poignant, most rockin’ songs to date — songs as melodic, personal and from the heart as his previous chart-climbing hits, songs he and his band are ready to share with audiences as they tour Texas and beyond behind the new disk.
As one music writer put it: "His transformation of the genre from classic to modern country is the reason this Texas boy is drawing attention to himself. … Rock with a twang … a mix of all that is good in the world of music today. … Upbeat, passionate … catchy, unique …"
Throughout the next year Park will release EPs of at least four songs each and then ask fans, via his Web site, what they think and which ones should go on the record slated for 2011, previewing music with them and letting them in on the album-making process.
