Songwriter Jimmy Yeary Scores Big With CMA Song of the Year – “I Drive Your Truck”

Nashville, TN (November 14, 2013) “I Drive Your Truck” written by Jimmy Yeary, Jessi Alexander, and Connie Harrington walked away with the Country Music Association Song of the Year Award at the 47th ANNUAL CMA AWARDS. The Awards aired live from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on ABC-TV on Wednesday, November 6th.
The Number One song on the Country charts was recorded by Lee Brice and quickly swept the country off it's feet with the touching story. Yeary commented “The story behind this song is so powerful and connects with everyday people's lives and the losses we all endure. This song speaks to everyone”. Jimmy continued “Without the sacrifice of people like Jared Monti, whom this song was written about, none of this would be possible. I am honored that I had a part in the world getting to hear his story.”

Many great songs have co-writers and Jimmy acknowledges Jessi Alexander and Connie Harrington saying “I can't think of any two people I'd rather share this Award with.”

Jimmy was also a co-writer on the Martina McBride super hit “I'm Gonna Love You Through It” (Jimmy Yeary, Sonya Isaacs Yeary, Ben Heyslip), Rascal Flats big song “Why Wait” (Jimmy Yeary, Neil Thrasher, Tom Shapiro) and with his wife Sonya Isaacs Yeary's inspiration the Heidi Newfield's release of “Stay Up Late” (Jimmy Yeary, Sonya Isaacs Yeary, Ben Hayslip).

Newcomer JOANNA MOSCA Releases New EP, Let It All Begin, Produced By Award-Winning Artist Bryan White , Features Duet with Lonestar's Richie McDonald

Nashville, TN (February 27, 2013) - Joanna Mosca, selected as one of CMA's 2012 Who's New To Watch, is excited to release her new dynamic EP, LET IT ALL BEGIN, which was produced by award-winning singer-songwriter Bryan White.

The six-track outing offers a fresh sound to Country radio and its audience, presenting Mosca's immediately identifiable voice on relevant, well-written songs that should appeal across the Country demographic. The EP, which includes a memorable duet with Lonestar's Richie McDonald, kicks off with her current single/video, "Dream On Savannah."

"Dream On Savannah" is resonating at radio and the video can be seen on The Country Network (TCN), CMT.com, GACtv.com and Yallwire.com. The up-tempo song pulled on Mosca's heartstrings the minute she heard it. This deceptively sing-along number contains two serious, yet positive core messages: preventing 'bullying' among our youth and the importance of staying true to your dreams. It perfectly reflects Joanna's innate compassion and her grasp for the need of global social responsibility.

TRACK LISTING:
"Dream On Savannah" (T. Verges, H. Lindsey, M. Green)
"Would You Still Be Here" (J. Spillman)
"Keep On Driving" (T. Verges, H. Lindsey, M. Green)
"I Guess That Says it All" (B. White, T. Thibodaux, S. Williams)
"Let It All Begin" (T. Murphy, D. Grissom)
"Where Does Good Love Go" (T. Hancheroff, J. Ritchey, B. Lawson)


"She's a total pro to work with and definitely has the goods," says Bryan White, Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter. Mosca is a 2013 Featured Artist on CMT.com and Renegade Radio Nashville - proving that she is indeed ready to LET IT ALL BEGIN.

The EP as a whole marks a definitive musical change for Mosca. She and White looked outside the box for contemporary songs and the production is crisp, vibrant and clean. "It has a much purer sound than my previous outings," Joanna notes. "Bryan has a great ear and a wonderful singer's sense. It was an amazing experience for me."
