I just looked at my upcoming schedule, and see that I'll be touring IL, OH, PA and NEW YORK!!!! I'm looking forward to saying 'hi' to some of my family &  friends up there and making sure that MY hometown stations are also adding me to their playlist!!!!  My dad used to say, "We'll make em' an  offer they CAN'T refuse!"

And THEN..... on to Milwaukee, to kick off WOMEN RIDERS' MONTH, hosted by the ONE and ONLY, Harley-Davidson! I can't wait to tour the museum, lead the ride (with Anne Paluso), and later, attend the  Black-N-Blue Ball, where I will sing a song or two to help raise  $$$ to benefit MDA research!

(Nashville, Tennessee...) -- April 15, 2009 -- Broken Bow/Holeshot Records artist Krista Marie was only 30 minutes into the Western leg of her radio tour on Monday, promoting her debut single "Jeep Jeep," when her bus was side-swiped by a semi on
I-10 headed to Tucson. The semi slammed into the right side of the bus causing Robb the driver to hit the guardrail.

 Robb kept the bus upright, and no one was injured, as the truck left the scene.

 "I was ready to jump my Harley and run the guy down!" said a fired up Krista, who wanted to put her former racing and stunt woman skills to work.

 Krista called 911 to get the highway patrol on the case, and the bus stopped to file a police report.

 "The police officer and two guys from a local Ford dealership who pulled over to check on us were all very nice," added Krista. "They all came on the bus and got a copy of 'Jeep Jeep' along with signed pictures for their kids."

 Within an hour the crew was back on the road headed to Tucson...minus some paint and one right-side mirror.

 Just another day at the office for Krista Marie.

It has been an eventful week... Last Friday, I did my FIRST stadium show at Freedom Hall,  in Louisville, Kentucky for approx. 8,000 people!!!! First, but NOT my last!!! I performed my single, "Jeep Jeep," which will be released April 27th, along with a number of my originals, ending the show with "Big Rig," a song I co-wrote with Rivers Rutherford & George Teren.... We got a standing O!!! VERY excited about that!

 

 From there, it was on to Pigeon Forge with the family for indoor skydiving, boot shopping and go-cart racing... AND some good ol' 

southern cooking! Gotta' love that southern fried chicken....

 

48 hours later, I was back in Nashville to do a 10 hour photo shoot with Tony Baker! We did a million different set ups including Jeep shots, (Dierks Bentley was kind enough to let me borrow his old beater

Jeep)  ATV shots, motorcycle shots and me on a beautiful white horse in a deep blue evening gown (same horse used in the Hannah Montana movie)... Can't wait to see the pictures!!! They will be used for promotional purposes  throughout the year as well as my NEW album cover!

 

In between takes, I was checking the online stats of the first ATVA National MX race of the 2009 season (Pell City, AL)...  To my "track family & friends"... I was TOTALLY there in spirit! Miss ya, but I'll see you soon!

 

At the wrap of the photo shoot, my amazing seamstress, Heather Robinson, was able to squeeze in another dress fitting for my ACM gown. I can't believe I'll be leaving for Vegas in less than 2 weeks!!! Karen Davidson (of Harley-Davidson) overnighted the BEAUTIFUL Italian leather that will be used for the corset.... Karen will also be riding to the Red Carpet with me on her Harley!

 

By the time the clock struck midnight, I was driving down the highway on the tour bus with Lee Adams (BBR), Brian Davis (co-writer/guitar player), and Bella ; ) We are on the road doing my official RADIO TOUR! So far, we have visited various stations in VA, NC, and tomorrow...PA... Basically, radio tour is an opportunity for the stations to "get to know me" and to hear my music, which they will hopefully be playing on their networks as soon as April hits! EVERYONE has been so nice & I am REALLY enjoying this process... I guess it's because I love meeting new people AND I get to sing and write while on the road... the scenery is NEVER the same in my office!!! 

Unfortunately, it was too cold and rainy this trip to haul the ATV's and Harley's with us, but you can count on them being loaded up on the next run ; )

 

Well... that should pretty much cover it!

 

Until next time!

Last weekend, it was off to Daytona,FL for Bike week with Harley-Davidson and then straight back to Nashville to host the Bridge Bar for CRS (Country Radio Seminar). Throughout the evening, I got to race radio personalities from ALL over the U.S., as well as my good friend and Record Label owner, Benny Brown, (Broken Bow Records) on Harley-Davidson arcade games! I won't say who won... ; ) I am looking forward to seeing many of them again during my radio tour, starting THIS month! I will be out on the road promoting my first single, "Jeep Jeep!" Can't wait for everyone to hear it! This week, I have been in the studio with my producer Ted Hewitt, recording more songs for the album.... I am really proud of the way is sounds and I think you all will love it too! Last but not least, I was just informed that my song "Drive It Like I Stole It" (NHRA theme song) will be available as a RINGTONE, as of this weekend! It will be very easy to purchase, check my websites for info on Friday!

Wait.... there's more!!!
Benny @ BBR has fully supported donating all profits from the ringtone, to a special charity called B.R.A.K.E.S. Doug Herbert (NHRA top fuel race car driver) formed this nonprofit organization, which stands for Be Responsible and Keep Everyone Safe, after losing his two sons, ages 12 and 17 in a tragic automobile accident early last year. The mission of the organization is to prevent injuries and save lives by training and educating teenage drivers and their parents about the importance of safe and responsible driving.

With my motorsports background and the fact that I’m traveling more and more with my music career, I couldn’t think of a better organization to partner with than B.R.A.K.E.S.
You can learn more by visiting www.putonthebrakes.com
or support by purchasing the ringtone, by going to www.KristaMarie.net

Thanks ya'll!
