Tracy Byrd Hosts The Ace Hardware Celebrity Golf Shootout In Honolulu On February 9th
BNA Records artist, Tracy Byrd, is an avid golfer who never leaves home without his golf clubs gingerly stored on his tour bus at all times. However, the Ace Hardware Celebrity Golf Shootout will require a different form of transportation since it takes place on the big island of Hawaii at the Mauna Lani Resort on February 9. Tracy will take on hosting duties as well as act as a "wild-card" player for any of the other celebrities who may need a little extra help during the competition. Only a charity like Children's Miracle Network, which happens to be Tracy's charity of choice, could bring so many top athletes and stars to one event.
Some of the other celebrities include World Series Champion Boston Red Sox player Kevin Millar (one of Tracy's closest buddies!) and Ryan Dempster with the Chicago Cubs. Pro football Hall of Famer Franco Harris and Tim Brown who has suited up with the Oakland Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will play along with basketball legend and NBA Hall of Fame, Julius "Dr. J" Erving.

JESSI ALEXANDER:
Today's the day to hear Jessi Alexander's new single, "Canyon Prayer," on
radio stations across the country. Jessi wrote the song with her producer
Gary Nicholson. "My best friend Marie and I were driving cross-country
and decided to stop at the Grand Canyon. We each found our own perch
overlooking the beauty, and I started to write in my journal. I wrote at
the top of the page 'The Canyon Prayer' and then began to pour out my
19-year-old frustrations. Years later, I found that journal, and
remembered the prayer. I called Gary Nicholson, and he helped me shape the
words and find the perfect melody. We both felt the power of this song as
we were writing it. We knew it was bigger that the two of us. I swear this
song evolves and affects me differently every time I sing it. I felt there
was no better way to end my record." The album, Honeysuckle Sweet, has
been receiving critical raves from magazines such as Performing
Songwriter, American Songwriter, Tracks, and others. Honeysuckle Sweet
releases March 1. More on Shelly Fairchild, Buddy Jewell, Miranda Lambert, and Montgomery Gentry
