Whats up Parrotheads?!!! Hope everyone out there is doing well. Check this out. Our very own Mac McAnally donates single royalties to wounded troops. Mac is simply the man! Read below.

Wounded Warriors To Receive Proceeds From April 27 Release

(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) Newly signed Show Dog Nashville recording artist and
eminently respected music maker Mac McAnally has pledged to donate all his
artist royalties from his debut single "You First"
released on April 27 to the Wounded Warriors Project, whose mission is to
honor and empower wounded warriors. The commitment to helping wounded
soldiers fits well with the song's theme of brotherly love.
The single, which is available through all digital music retailers, is
prelude to a full album expected to be completed in June as McAnally works
recording into his touring schedule. A longtime member of Jimmy Buffett's
Coral Reefer band, Mac has been on the road much of this year.

Beyond his artist career, musician commitments and other musical endeavors,
McAnally is well known as one of the most successful songwriters of his era.
And to that end he will be performing May 1 and 2 in Key West at performing
rights organization ASCAP's annual songwriter's festival.

Of course, it was Mac who wrote the recent No. 1 hit "Down The Road"
for Kenny Chesney. And Chesney is so enamored of Mac's hugely successful
body of work he brought him into the studio to add his vocals to the song.

"Mac McAnally is the best kind of songwriter," Chesney said recently.
"With a couple chords and few lines, he opens up whole worlds...
worlds that are exactly where you came from, places you know by heart and
people who made you who you are today. It is so simple, yet nobody else can
take you to those places -- or make you feel so at home in the space of
three minutes. But that's why Mac is the songwriter everybody wishes they
could be."

And with the release of "You First" and the donation of its proceeds to
those in need, Mac McAnally has the chance to contribute even more than he
already has with music alone.

Thank you so much for caring about our returning veterans!! So many people never realize that freedom is not free--it comes with a price. Some warriors return home with physical injuries but many return with mental scars that will never heal. All deserve our respect and our gratitude. They've made great personal sacrifices so we here at home can continue to enjoy a "normal" life. God bless you for your concern. ..
