Bobby Bare First Album Release in Five Years Country Music Hall of Famer and GRAMMY award-winning living legend Bobby Bare will release THINGS CHANGE May 26, which features a collaboration with Chris Stapleton. The album is Bare s first studio project in five years. THINGS CHANGE will feature 10 tracks written by Bare, Mary Gauthier, Guy Clark and the producer of the project, hit singer/songwriter Max T. Barnes. The album features a special collaboration on Bare s iconic hit, Detroit City with Chris Stapleton adding his unique vocals. The song was written by Mel Tillis and Danny Dill and was originally released by Bare in 1963. It would become one of his most highly requested songs to this day and won a GRAMMY in 1964 for Best Country/Western Recording. This is a special collection of songs to me, not just another record. Great songs from Mary Gauthier, a song I cowrote with Guy Clark that turned out to be his last and a song that my buddy Hoyt Axton inspired me to write called Things Change. That s the title of the album and the first single. Things do change but my love for songwriters and the fans never, ever will! said Bobby Bare. I hit the road as a lead guitar player with Bobby Bare when I was 20 years old. To imagine I would produce my hero all these years later is a dream come true. We had so much fun touring the world in the 1980s. We laughed until we hurt! That s what it was like in the studio with Bare on this album. He has a wicked smart song sense, and a delivery that will cut you to the bone. Bare is a true giant, said Max T.

Jeff Coltrec Very Berry World Colt Records I really enjoyed listening to Jeff Coltrec's song "Very Berry World." With a Chuck Berry feel, it's a fun, lighthearted, upbeat song that brings you back to a simpler time. As a keyboard player, I really enjoyed the keyboard tracks on this song! Great job Jeff Coltrec.

Roy Clark Being Honored With His Own Exhibit At The American Banjo Museum in Oklahoma City Country Music Hall of Fame member Roy Clark will be honored with his own exhibit at the American Banjo Museum in Oklahoma City. The exhibit, titled America s Super Picker - Roy Clark, will open on April 6, 2017 and run through the end of March 2018. The banjo is about as Americana as you can get, Clark says. It s such an honor to have an exhibition highlighting my career in the American Banjo Museum. The exhibit will feature artifacts from the entirety of his musical career including photographs from his personal collection. Clark was also recently inducted into the American Banjo Museum Hall of Fame. About Roy Clark: Roy Clark is one of the top entertainers ever in country music, and he has the CMA and ACM awards to prove it. Despite all of the well-deserved accolades for the Country Music Hall of Fame member, Clark remains a household name after two decades of spreading the gospel of country music from Kornfield Kounty into the living rooms of America. Clark co-hosted HEE HAW for more than two decades after it premiered on June 15, 1969. HEE HAW became one of the longest-running shows in syndication (1971 1992). In addition to his television triumphs, Clark has headlined some of the world's most prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, Grand Palace in Brussels and the Rossiya Theatre in Moscow. A partial list of his many awards include the Academy of Country Music s Entertainer of the Year, Academy of Country Music s Comedy Act of the Year and a Grammy for "Alabama Jubilee." Clark became a Grand Ole Opry member in 1987. He was also the first country music artist to guest host Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. Clark and wife Barbara live in Oklahoma where he finds time to fish, fly his airplanes and ride motorcycles. About The American Banjo Museum: The American Banjo Museum is a world-class 21,000 square foot facility honoring the rich history, vibrant spirit and unlimited future of the banjo. The museum s collection contains more than 400 instruments, recordings, film, video, printed music, instructional materials, ephemera and memorabilia associated with the banjo. The museum contains the largest collection in the world of banjos on public display. www.americanbanjomuseum.com PG 7
