Hello,

August has hit us and it looks like it will be a busy month.  We had a few set backs this week, with reorganizing the Nashville Office and remodeling in the Chicago Office.  So, thank you for all you patients while we get ourselves back into the swing of things.  We have some of the best readers and fans in country music, because you continue to stop by everyday for the latest news.  Thank you so much for that. With all that being said it was a busy news week so away we go:

COVER
Reminder, August kicked off and with their debut album “World Wide Open” due out later in the month we are featuring Lyric Street Recording Artist Love and Theft on our cover for the whole month. Make sure to swing over to www.todayscountrymag.com and check out the cover, review of the single “Runaway”, pre-order link, interview, and a recent concert review from back in June. We also added a link to the concert review from last year with Taylor Swift.  Look for more coverage of Love and Theft throughout the month.

CONTESTS
With a new month comes new giveaways and contests. We have been featuring the Cracker Barrel CD by Montgomery Gentry in our magazine and now you have a chance to win a copy of the album For Our Heroes. We have teamed up with Cracker Barrel, Webster PR and Montgomery Gentry to give 20 copies of the album away to our American Heroes.  If you served or still serving in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Police or Fire stop by and tell us your story.  Winners will be chosen at random.  http://www.todayscountrymag.com/contests.htm
