SHANIA TWAIN IS ‘GONNA GETCHA GOOD!’

Audio

Shania Twain released her Still the One Live From Las Vegas collection, which it includes a DVD of the show, behind-the-scenes highlights and CD. She opens the show with her 2002 hit, “I’m Gonna Getcha Good!” The reason why she kicked off her Vegas show with it is pretty clear.

“‘I’m Gonna Getcha Good!’ was just a very empowering way to start the show and say I’m in control and this feels really good and I’m at the top of my game here, and I’m ready to kick off this night,” says Shania. “The vocal in the beginning is quite sultry and I wanted to – I didn’t want to come out kicking and screaming. I wanted to come out with a quieter strength with my voice.”

On Wednesday (March 4th), Shania will talk about her new CD and DVD collection on ABC’s Good Morning America, where she will make a big announcement. She’s also set to appear on The Chew on Wednesday, and on What What Happens Live! March 11th.

TIDBIT: The Jonas Brothers covered “I’m Gonna Getcha Good!” for the soundtrack for their film, Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience.

Shania Twain (Gonna Getcha Good) OC: …start the show. :42
“I wanted it to have that sort of rock edge pump to it right at the top of the show and I wanted to be able to tell a story with a song list. So ‘I’m Gonna Getcha Good!’ was just a very empowering way to start the show and say I’m in control and this feels really good and I’m at the top of my game here and I’m ready to kick off this night. So it was a very soothing song in that regard and it’s also quite sultry. The vocal in the beginning is quite sultry and I wanted to – I didn’t want to come out kicking and screaming. I wanted to come out with a quieter strength with my voice. So it was just the perfect song. ‘I’m Gonna Getcha Good!’ was the way to start the show.”

SHANIA TWAIN WANTED TO HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH HER LAS VEGAS SHOW.

Shania Twain

Shania Twain will release her Still the One Live From Las Vegas collection this week, and it includes a DVD of the show itself, plus some behind-the-scenes highlights, in addition to the CD. She says she can’t pick out just one particular favorite moment from the show, but instead, her favorite moment is the entire thing.

“The whole show is my favorite thing as a performer because I…I wrote all of those favorite moments in the show for exactly that reason. I just wanted to have a really wonderful time,” says Shania. “I wanted to surround myself with all the things that I love, the people that I love, a room that I loved. I loved the room. It was gorgeous. All of the songs I loved in the show. I was very careful about picking the song list. I was careful about the order of the song list and how it was going to feel mood wise and how it was all going to roll out. It was very custom made for me, this show, and to make sure that I was going to enjoy myself every night after that.

Shania’s Still the One Live From Las Vegas CD & DVD collection arrives in stores on Tuesday, March 3rd.

It was very custom made for me, this show, and to make sure that I was going to enjoy myself every night after that. I love horses, so I wanted horses in the show. I love enjoying being fit and energetic. And so I chose clothes that were sexy and fun and that I enjoyed getting into every night. I never got into my clothes and thought ‘Oh I just can’t do this another night.’ But I loved it. I always felt – I always felt revived getting into my costumes every night.”

GARY ALLAN HITS RADIO WITH NEW SINGLE, ‘HANGOVER TONIGHT.’

Audio

Gary Allan

Gary Allan is starting to hit the airwaves with his new single, “Hangover Tonight,” a song he co-wrote with Chris Stapleton, Jesse Frasure and Carey Barlowe. The song is the first release from his forthcoming, as-yet-untitled album – the follow-up to the hit album, Set You Free, which included the No. 1 tune, “Every Storm Runs Out of Rain.”

Gary is thrilled for the song to be added to stations across the country and says the feel of the song is a bit of a throwback to his youth. “[I’m] super excited about this single going to radio,” says Gary. “I feel like it’s the fourth or fifth time we’ve re-invented myself, or I have, or just trying to push myself to do different things. I feel like I’ve pushed myself into a very comfortable place for myself, because it’s kind of ‘50s and ‘60s Motown.”

“I was in rockabilly bands my whole life, and to me, it was just a throwback to my youth writing with these guys,” he adds.

Gary’s got a few days off before he heads to Mercedes, Texas for a show on March 13th.

Gary Allan (excited for Hangover Tonight) OC: …a lot of fun. :29
“[I’m] super excited about this single going to radio. I feel like it’s the fourth or fifth time we’ve re-invented myself, or I have, or just trying to push myself to do different things. I feel like I’ve pushed myself into a very comfortable place for myself, because it’s kind of ‘50s and ‘60s Motown. It reminds me of when I did ‘Runaway,’ and things like that, so it was a very easy thing for me to do. I was in rockabilly bands my whole life, and to me, it was just a throwback to my youth writing with these guys. It was a lot of fun.”

JOSH TURNER JOINS REEBOK’S ‘BE MORE HUMAN’ CAMPAIGN.

Josh Turner

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Friday, February 27, 2015) – Yesterday, country star Josh Turner traveled to Boston, Mass. for the opening round of this year’s Reebok CrossFit Games, and to explore what it means to Be More Human. Reebok’s globally integrated Be More Human campaign celebrates ordinary people who use sports and fitness in their quest for personal fulfillment and to serve the greater good.

Like so many, Turner struggles to maintain balance between work, family and personal time. Turner is a multi-platinum selling recording artist and celebrated musician, as well as a husband, a father of four young boys and a long-time health-conscience athlete. In a time when Turner was disillusioned with the fitness world and endless supplements promising unrealistic results, he had a chance encounter with four-time CrossFit Games Champion Rich Froning and discovered a whole new approach to fitness.

“I had heard about CrossFit from several fitness magazines and had just seen Rich on the cover of Muscle & Fitness,” shares Turner. “The very next day, I actually met him at the Nashville airport. He casually asked if I had ever tried CrossFit and I told him no, so he invited me out to his CrossFit Mayhem [Cookeville, Tenn.] and I took him up on it.” Turner remembers, “The first workout he put me through had me coughing my lungs up for hours, but it didn’t deter me.”

Turner and Froning formed a fast friendship and the country singer’s CrossFit journey began. Two years later, Turner is doing his first CrossFit competition claiming, “I never dreamed I would be competing in a CrossFit Open! I’m looking forward to it, but I’m scared to death because I’m far from being an expert at CrossFit.”

The opening night of the five-week worldwide competition showed Froning topping elite CrossFitter Mat Fraser in a head-to-head matchup for round one. In the crowd, Turner cheered Froning on and gathered inspiration from both of these world-class athletes. Turner will attempt his first competition workout today at Crossfit ONE at the Reebok headquarters in Boston.

He kicks his European tour Saturday (February 28th) in Stockholm, Sweden and wraps it up March 8th in Dublin, Ireland. Lady Antebellum, Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line are also on the C2C show in Oslo, Norway (March 1st).

“When we started talking about overseas, I was like, ‘I don’t know.’ As it gets closer, I get more and more excited. I get the most excited at proving yourself to audiences. Just talking to other artist friends that have gone over there, the enthusiasm and the passion and the fans over there, from what I hear, is at a whole different level of enthusiasm and stuff like that,” says Luke. “So, I’m excited to get over there and see these countries and see the beer. The beer’s going to be really good, I bet. Probably come back 20 pounds heavier.”

SHANIA TWAIN HAD FAMILIAL SUPPORT IN VEGAS.

Audio

Shania Twain

When Shania Twain agreed to do her residency at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, she had to know she’d have some special support on stage. Her sister Carrie Ann had to agree to be one of her backup singers.

“The idea of going back on the stage again scared me at the beginning. It was intimidating, and I had to build up a lot of courage to take the plunge, because I knew that once I made the commitment, there was no turning back,” said Shania. “So, right at that moment, I realized that to take the plunge I needed to know that I was going to have some support there. And so my sister Carrie, being a beautiful singer herself and we’re very close…I said to her I’ll do this because she was encouraging me. ‘Oh yeah, come on. You can do it. You can do it.’ And so I said ‘Well, listen, how about if you do it, I’ll do it? We’ll do it together.’ And that was just really a turning point for me knowing that she was into the idea of participating and not just being there behind the scenes, but taking that plunge as well. And I felt like I was sharing some of that weight, and really [it] just helps like logically.”

You can see Carrie Ann when Shania’s Still the One Live From Las Vegas CD & DVD collection arrives in stores on Tuesday, March 3rd.

“The idea of going back on the stage again scared me at the beginning. It was intimidating, and I had to build up a lot of courage to take the plunge because I knew that once I made the commitment there was no turning back. So, that was a big moment. So, right at that moment, I realized that to take the plunge I needed to know that I was going to have some support there. And so my sister Carrie, being a beautiful singer herself and we’re very close, she said well – well actually I said to her I’ll do this because she was encouraging me. ‘Oh yeah, come on. You can do it. You can do it.’ And so I said ‘Well, listen, how about if you do it, I’ll do it? We’ll do it together.’ And that was just really a turning point for me knowing that she was into the idea of participating and not just being there behind the scenes, but taking that plunge as well. And I felt like I was sharing some of that weight, and really [it] just helps like logically. Even though I’m still up there – I mean, I know in my mind, of course, I’m still out there up front by myself in my own moments and all eyes are on me, but the people that share the stage with you really do make a big difference in your just moral support in general.”
