Country Showdown Benefit for Boys & Girls Club
Country Showdown Winner At the Dixie
After being crowned the 2007 Colgate Country Showdown National Winner on January 24, 2008, Nash Street has been experiencing life in the fast lane. Nash Street – named for the place they practiced – consists of Daniel Hare (bass), Hannah Melby (fiddle), Caroline Melby (mandolin), Jason Graham (guitar), and Jay Lezzon (lead guitar). They have been playing their crowd pleasing version of bluegrass, country, and gospel to enthusiastic crowds throughout the southeast and have added Ruston, Louisiana to their touring schedule.
Nash Street’s climb to the top of the Country Showdown began in Meridian, Mississippi after winning the talent show sponsored by radio station WOKK. Each year the competition begins in the spring with more than 450 country radio stations producing live shows to find the best new talent in their market. Winners advance to state and then regional competitions during the summer and fall before competing at the National Final in January.
LeAnn Rimes hosted the televised event, held in the historic Ryman Auditorium. Nash Street was presented with a $100,000 Grand Prize check and the title, “Best New Act in Country Music”. The stage presence and ability to connect with the audience makes Nash Street attractive to the music industry.
The Greater Choudrant Association is bringing Nash Street to the Dixie Center for the Arts in Ruston as a fundraiser for Boys & Girls Clubs of North Central Louisiana.
John Emory, Sr. noted, “The Boys & Girls Clubs deserve the support of our communities, and we believe a family oriented concert is an excellent way to raise money for the organization.”
The concert begins at 7:00 on November 15th at the Dixie. Tickets are $15.00 and may be purchased by calling 265-1954, at Community Trust Bank in Choudrant, or at the Dixie (255-1450) during box office hours. Daniel Hare, upright bass player for the group, has a local connection with his grandfather James Whitman growing up in Choudrant. He also has many family members who are graduates of Louisiana Tech University, including his mother Jaynie Whitman Hare and his grandmother Sue Shaughnessy Whitman.
