Nashville – (June 26, 2013) Luke Bryan has announced the title of his highly anticipated forthcoming album, Crash My Party, which will be in stores on August 13.  Bryan revealed the title and cover of the album to his fans yesterday on his official website by challenging them to “uncover” tiles that were hiding the album cover image by tweeting the hashtag #CrashMyParty. Over 4,000 tweets were sent within 30 minutes, making #CrashMyParty trend nationwide.  Crash My Party, named after the project’s lead single, is produced by Jeff Stevens, who has produced all of Luke’s previous records.

“Idecided Crash My Party was perfect for this album because like the song, the album goes beyond the literal meaning of the title,” says Bryan. “The song isn’t what you think it is, it is unexpected, and I think in the same way fans will definitely hear some surprises on my new album.  It still reflects my sound but you will get to hear a little bit deeper, different side to me musically as well.”

Crash My Party is the follow-up to Luke’s most successful album to date tailgates & tanlines, which has now been certified Double Platinum.  tailgates & tanlines contains three back-to-back Platinum singles, was the 8^th best-selling album of 2012 and has sold 7.2 million tracks.  Crash My Party also releases on the heels of Luke’s most successful spring break series album, Spring Break…Here To Party, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart and is certified Gold.

Luke’s recent Academy of Country Music Award wins for Entertainer of the Year and Vocal Event (“Only Way I Know”) with Eric Church and Jason Aldean, along with his first-time ACM hosting duty with Blake Shelton, are just a few of the career highlights Luke has enjoyed lately. Additional accolades include multi-Platinum albums sales, back-to-back #1 singles and his first #1 album debut.  His spring break shows in Panama City Beach, Florida this past March brought in 120,000 fans during the two-day concert event and his performance at the Houston Rodeo was the second largest attendance in the rodeo’s history with 75,000 fans.

Luke has placed a total of six career singles at #1 and was named the #1 Artist of 2012 and #1 Male Artist of 2012 by Country Aircheck.  Billboard named tailgates & tanlines the #2 Country Album and the #3 Country Artist Album of 2012 and claimed Luke as the #3 Top Country Artist of the Year.  Also in 2012, Luke took home 11 music awards, including a record nine wins at the American Country Awards as well as his first American Music Award.

Luke Bryan (Crash My Party album) OC: …on there. :38
“The album, it has your party songs, it has your songs that are about life that about rural life. It’s got some love songs that I’ve never done this type of love song on it that I’m really, really excited about. I mean, we’ve got songs for the guys, songs for the girls, songs you can go ride dirt roads in, songs you can cry to. I think I’ve got a song on there that could really, really change some people’s lives and really help them heal through a tough time. So, I’ve never been more excited than an upcoming album, and I think this one has something for everybody on there.”

David Nail may not have written his new single, “Whatever She’s Got,” but it totally describes what he feels for his wife, Catherine. “When I think it’s the right person, they just have a way of looking at you. There’s times when she drives me crazy and I want to get mad at her so bad. We both say things that we shouldn’t say to each other, and it’s kind of silly ‘cause you know the next day it’s all going to be fine,” says David. “I’ve always said you know it’s the right person when they can see you at your worst, and they still love you the next day.”

“Whatever She’s Got” is the first single from David’s forthcoming album, due early next year.

David Nail (whatever his wife has) OC: …the next day. :28
“You know, when I think it’s the right person, they just have a way of looking at you. There’s times when she drives me crazy and I want to get mad at her so bad. We both say things that we shouldn’t say to each other, and it’s kind of silly ‘cause you know the next day it’s all going to be fine, and you kinda probably should just stop in the middle of your fight and be like why are we wasting our time. We know tomorrow, we’re gonna wake up and say, ‘Let’s just forget it.’ I’ve always said you know it’s the right person when they can see you at your worst, and they still love you the next day.”

While most high school seniors are getting ready for prom and graduation, Lauren Alaina was hitting the road performing for thousands of fans each night, followed by an intense study session. The energetic 18-year-old recently graduated from Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School, and she says it tops the list of all of her accomplishments so far, even when she’d get frustrated at being the only one on the road who had homework after the show.

“When you work so hard to make some things happen…right ‘til the last day, I was worried that I wasn’t going to get everything finished and turned in. And I did, and it was like, ‘[heavy sigh] I did it!,’” says Lauren. “It’s not easy when you’re 16, 17, 18 years old, and you’re on the road touring with Jason Aldean, Sugarland and Luke Bryan. And then when everyone else would finish up the shows and do whatever they wanted to do, I was on the bus doing school work. That’s not fun. When it was that final day and I walked across that stage, it was the best feeling in the world.”

Lauren has hit the country charts with “Barefoot and Buckwild,” the first single from her forthcoming album.

Lauren Alaina (graduating) OC: …in the world. :51
“I have accomplished so much in the past two years that have meant so much to me, but graduating, it’s at the top of the list! It was an accomplishment that I wasn’t sure I was going to make, and when you work so hard to make some things happen…right ‘til the last day, I was worried that I wasn’t going to get everything finished and turned in. And I did, and it was like, ‘[heavy sigh] I did it!’ ‘Cause there were days where I was like, ‘I’ll just get my GED. It’s fine.’ I’d get so frustrated. It’s not easy when you’re 16, 17, 18 years old, and you’re on the road touring with Jason Aldean, Sugarland and Luke Bryan. And then when everyone else would finish up the shows and do whatever they wanted to do, I was on the bus doing homework. That’s not fun. When it was that final day and I walked across that stage, it was the best feeling in the world.”
