<p style="text-align: justify;">50 years later, the story of Delta Dawn comes full circle thanks to country singer / songwriter, <strong><a contents="Curtis Braly" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.curtisbraly.com" target="_blank">Curtis Braly</a></strong>. <br><br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/48399/061792064b59f4c956bc64954a8d1dd090dd7bbe/original/2.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.png" class="size_m justify_left border_none" alt="" />"<a contents="Delta Dawn" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Dawn" target="_blank">Delta Dawn</a>" is a song written by musician Larry Collins and country and western songwriter Alex Harvey. The song is best known as a 1972 top ten country hit for Grammy winning <a contents="Tanya Tucker" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.tanyatucker.com" target="_blank">Tanya Tucker</a> at the age of 13. <br> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The song is about a faded Southern belle whose reputation was tarnished when she hooked up with a man of ill-repute. The title character is from Brownsville, Tennessee, who, at 41, is obsessed with the long-ago memory of a suitor who jilted her. The lyrics describe how the woman regularly "walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand / looking for a mysterious dark haired man" who she says will be taking her "to his mansion in the sky." <br> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the book Chicken Soup for the Soul: Country Music, Harvey says the tune is really about his mother Emily, a heavy drinker who died in an apparent suicide by crashing into a tree when the songwriter was a teen. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"My mother had come from the Mississippi Delta and she always lived her life as if she had a suitcase in her hand but nowhere to put it down. She was a hairdresser in Brownsville. She was very free-spirited, and folks in a small town don't always understand people like that. She never really grew up," recalled Harvey. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The iconic song is arguably vague in how Delta Dawn’s story came about and what happened to both her & the man of low degree. <br> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now, 50 years later, Curtis Braly has released a song titled “<strong>Emily</strong>” that aims to complete the story and bring it full circle. "Emily" gives the listening audience a more in depth look at how the young boy and girl meet, how and why the suitor never came back for Emily and how it eventually caught up to the Delta Dawn herself. <br> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Country singer & songwriter, Curtis Braly, who spent months on the road touring with Tucker, thought now was the time to bring a conclusion to the story in time for the 50th anniversary of the original "Delta Dawn" release by Tanya Tucker. </p>

<p>Rising country artist <strong>Curtis Braly</strong> recently announced the release of his new single included in the original motion picture soundtrack of ‘Slapface’ the movie. “Turn Down the Voices” arrives on Friday (Feb. 4), one day after the movie premieres exclusively on AMC Networks’ Shudder, the only premium streaming service for both casual and super fans of thrillers, suspense, and horror. </p>
<p>Slapface, which won the Best Audience Award for Best Horror/Thriller/Sci-Fi Film at the Cinequest Film Festival in 2021, was written and directed by Jeremiah Kipp <em>(Black Wake; 60 Seconds to Die "Monster"; The Sadist; The Pod)</em>. </p>
<p>A first for Curtis Braly - both appearing on screen and writing music for film - Curtis expressed his excitement about the notable addition to his resume. </p>
<p>“I am so thrilled to have had the opportunity to not only share the screen with talented and well-accomplished actors like August Maturo <em>(Girl Meets World, The Nun)</em>, Mike Manning <em>(Teen Wolf, Days of our Lives, The Bay)</em>, Dan Hedaya <em>(The Addams Family, Clueless, The First Wives Club)</em>, and Libe Barer <em>(Sneaky Pete, Parenthood)</em> but to also write music for the film. It was a fun challenge to dig deep inside myself to co-write and record a song that is so outside the box of anything I’ve done before,” Braly said. </p>
<p>“Turn Down the Voices”, a song both co-written and performed by Braly, can be found in the bar scene of the film as well as setting the haunting tone as the film’s end credits roll. </p>
<p>Curtis has repeatedly expressed his gratitude towards the film’s stellar cast & crew for their patience, compassion, and on-set coaching as he made his film set debut. </p>
<p>“Curtis Braly was such a joy to work with on Slapface," shares Director Jeremiah Kipp. "He had to convey a no-nonsense calm strength in the role of the nurse, and push back against lead actor Mike Manning's edgy character while maintaining a sense of health care professionalism." </p>
<p>"When we filmed with Curtis it reminded me that country singers are natural-born storytellers (like Reba McEntire and Kris Kristofferson)," Kipp continued. "That became especially true in his end credits song "Turn Down the Voices" where he essentially had to perform a track that could be from the point of view of our main character. The effect was haunting, unsettling, emotional as Curtis leaned into the dark subtext of our narrative. When we heard his final version, chills ran down my spine.” </p>
<p>The Texas native has shared the stage with a multitude of artists including country icon Dolly Parton, Tanya Tucker, Daryle Singletary, and more. A seasoned storyteller and gifted vocalist, Braly recorded his third CD, ‘You Matter’ with Kent Wells, famed music producer and musical director for Parton. He has also worked alongside the renowned, Grammy-nominated producer Sal Oliveri (Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney, Brett Eldredge, Garth Brooks). </p>
<p>With almost a half-million Spotify streams alone, Curtis’ music offers a breath of fresh air to the country music world and now to the pop world. He is currently working on more new music, new stage shows, and other exciting new projects to come in 2022. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>NASHVILLE</strong> (January 18, 2021) With the drastic increase in violence, riots, destruction, along with the sad decrease in tolerance, patience, love and understanding seen across the country in the recent year, most recently at the United States Capitol; Curtis Braly decided to give an update to his previously released music video of his song “One Day”,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“The things I’ve witnessed in our country l<span style="color:null;">ately has got me thinking about</span> what the world needs and how I can help”, said Braly. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">At 20, Braly took his country music act to Nashville. Since then, he’s toured the country with Tanya Tucker, shared the stage with Dolly Parton, as well as recorded & released more than 30 of his own titles<span style="color:#e74c3c;">. </span><span style="color:null;">Now</span>, he has decided that on MLK Day during the inauguration week of President-elect Joe Biden as well as Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, this would be the perfect opportunity to share a music video about his wish for the people of the world to come together in peace. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Like many boys growing up in small Southern towns who didn’t quite “fit in”, Braly from a young age, struggled with bullying at school. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The bullying eventually became so intense that by the time the songwriter/entertainer was a junior in high school, he had made the decision to end his life, thinking it would be better for everyone if he were no longer here. He recalls that his only real reprieve from the abuse was during his teachers aid period in the audio visual department; and he decided it would be during that period he would pen his final goodbyes. However, there was one small thing that changed everything that day: </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A song. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For the first time in his career, Braly shares some of the most intimate details of that day and the song that literally saved his life: </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Listening to the lyrics of that song, I realized that I didn't need anybody or anyone to accept me, to tell me who I could or could not be,” said Braly. “I didn’t need anyone else to save me, to make me happy. That I had the power to do all of that myself. So that song literally saved my life.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Along with his team and a desire to raise awareness during Sucicide Prevention & Awareness Month, Braly has launched a social media campaign; promoting his long-form music video that shares both story and song. The campaign has been remarkably successful garnering over 130,000 views across all surfaces since its release on Sept. 4- a feat, considering the video is over 8 minutes in length. In a world where short-form tik tok’s reign supreme, it’s obvious Braly is connecting. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can connect with him too starting today, premiering on <a contents="CMT.com" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.cmt.com/cmt-music-videos" target="_blank">CMT.com</a>. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While Curtis is devoted to his country music roots, his music caters to the new generation of contemporary country music fans and listeners who have a hankering for pop, jazz, and rock. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“I have wanted to record that song for so long because I thought if it impacted me that way, that I could utilize that same song to impact others in the same way.” </p>

<p><span class="font_large"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/48399/b1747d7c6cf859179404f040a7e34111a590d34b/original/duo-singing-image.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_right border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To kick off recording artist Curtis Braly’s transition from country to pop music, he recorded a new single, ‘One Day’ to be released <strong>July 12th</strong>. Braly wants his music to resonate with young adults who may be struggling with being bullied, like he did growing up in Texas. In an effort to expand the message to a broader audience, Braly decided to feature rap artist, Small Boss, on the soon to be released track. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“<strong><em>Starting in grade school, I was constantly bullied, harassed and beaten up on</em></strong>,” said Braly. As a young boy, Braly dreamed of being on the large stage. “<em><strong>After all the humiliation and bullying in school, I discovered that singing was a huge outlet for me and that I could actually entertain people</strong>.</em>” </p>
<p>At 20, Braly took his country music act to Nashville. Since then, he’s toured the country with Tanya Tucker, shared the stage with Dolly Parton, and recorded albums of his own. Now he’s expanding his repertoire into pop music to draw a younger demographic. “My mission is to help people who are being bullied or feel they are discriminated against for who they are, especially kids.” </p>
<p>Small Boss, a New York based rapper began freestyling & writing his own lyrics at the early age of 7 and was excited to jump on this project with Curtis. “<em><strong>When I heard what Curtis’ mission was with this new track, I was hyped to be a part of it,</strong></em>” said Small Boss. </p>
<p>Braly started the R.U.B.Y Foundation (Respectful, United, & Brave Youth), which works with youth to not only end bullying but cope with the side effects of being a victim of bullying. His first pop single ‘One Day’ is about his wish for the world to come together in peace. “The song is being used to promote the cause as well as bring awareness to hate crime and all the proceeds go back into the foundation. I want the younger generation to hear my message because they’re the future leaders of this world.” </p>
<p>Recently he addressed the world via livestream on the United Nation’s “International Day of Living Together in Peace” expressing his life mission and has also created a web series documenting his training and transition into the “the new music and the new me,” which can be followed by fans on Thursday evenings on his social channels.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">A Texas high schooler was brought to tears Sunday night when recording artist, Curtis Braly, surprised her on set of his music video shoot with her own private graduation ceremony. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Gabrielle Potapenko had no idea that Curtis had a surprise in store for her and her mother. A month prior to this, Gabrielle realized that the first day of the music video shoot for Curtis’ forthcoming single would fall on the same day as her high school graduation. “<em><strong>I encouraged Gabby to skip the music video and attend her graduation because I knew how important that was for her & her parents and it’s something she has worked so hard to accomplish</strong></em>”, said Braly. “<em><strong>I felt as if she’d regret not attending her ceremony but she just wouldn’t take no for an answer and insisted that she keep her commitment to dance in this video</strong></em>.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, as the cast & crew wrapped the first day of shooting; the evening that she could have been at her graduation ceremony, Braly asked her to put her cap & gown on so they could take a group photo with her. A few minutes later when she exited the Dressing Room, Curtis had coordinated for the production team to begin playing “Land of Hope and Glory” through their sound system, known as a popular graduation walk song. She was greeted front & center by echoing applause on the closed off streets of downtown Houston by Curtis Braly & the rest of the cast and crew with a celebratory gift. With tears in her eyes, Gabrielle proudly moved her tassel to the opposite side of her cap signifying her accomplishment.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Recently Nashville recording artist Curtis Braly addressed the world via livestream on the United Nation's inaugural observance of "International Day of Living Together in Peace". Braly took a wide and deep dive into life's pressing questions that would afford one to live together in peace. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As a society there is agreement that something must change for the violence continues in our schools, communities, cities and around the world. What is the<a contents="" data-link-label="OneDay" data-link-type="page" href="/oneday" target="_blank"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/48399/bec0846307878fcba90b617e584ef91a08dc0c51/original/facetune-17-05-2019-07-53-13.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_right border_" /></a> solution? And is there more than one solution? Maybe it is all of us together, taking action, praying prayers or visualizing a better way, a better day that creates the change so the world might be able to truly "Live Together in Peace". </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"I turned my world upside down searching for the answers to two questions: What does the world need and How can I help," Braly said. "I wanted to enlist others into thinking about these questions also. For me, I knew I would have to broaden my worldview. Living together in peace is possible, but first we need to create that shift in our own minds." </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Curtis Braly began deep introspection about how positive change can happen in the world. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"I initially thought it may be tough to come up with a list of how to create impactful change, but before I knew it, I had a whole page full of wishes," Braly said. "The cool thing is that these were not just wishes for me, but for humanity." </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Braly's address to the world encompassed a list of touchstones key to peaceful living like developing compassion, tolerance, understanding and gave specifics such as: more understanding and less blaming; more compassion and less shaming; and more love and less hating. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"As I am turning a corner in my own career and becoming more authentic, I felt it important to develop my own credo of what I thought was important in life. As I did, I realized this credo is good for the world. I felt compelled to get this word out," Braly said. </p>

<p>Guests of Nashville recording artist, Curtis Braly, were in for a special screening of Braly's impending new release song, "One Day", aboard Carnival Cruise Lines as they gathered for the second annual <a contents="Cruise with Curtis" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/2231880430456377/" target="_blank">Cruise with Curtis</a> event. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Previously one could buy tickets to any number of Curtis Braly's performances as he toured with county music legends, Tanya Tucker and surprise appearance with Dolly Parton. However the Cruise with Curtis performance took on a very different tone, vibe and message than fans had before experienced. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"There is so much more to say with my music that I didn't think I could achieve as I had been performing," Braly said. "By limiting myself to a restricted platform, I<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/48399/ee577ae75e99fcfd31f1fb1283f9b4a2406b53dc/original/img-6205.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_right border_" /> felt that I was limiting my audience and neglecting others who may need to hear my message. So I kicked up the vibe, added in some dynamic choreography and created a message that had an inspirational quality to it. The fans loved it, thankfully!" </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One Cruise guest had much more to say about this than what Braly counted on. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"Guests who attended Cruise with Curtis are a very special group. They aren't just cruise-goers, they are fans and I consider them to be my extended family," Braly said. "When I realized a certain guest was nowhere to be found I asked about her only to learn she had suffered third degree burns on her feet and had to stay in her cabin to heal." </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Learning the plight of fan Lynn Forey, Curtis Braly decided if she couldn't come to the show, the show would go to her. Forey was very surprised when Braly appeared at her door and serenaded her in her cabin. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"It was a magical moment to be sure," Braly said. "I wanted her to know that she was important to all of us, the whole group. It was fun. But really it was so natural. We were a family for several days and supported and encouraged each other!" </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Braly's soon to be released song, "One Day", is just as encouraging as his fan-base. Braly is releasing not just a new song, but is developing a new culture with his music. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"I wanted to be more relevant in the world and basically to speak to people where they are in life," Braly said. "Most singer / songwriters want to have people find their way into a singer's song. I want to write and record music that fits into my audiences' life. There's a big difference in doing so." </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As for Forey, she has healed nicely and has come away from the Cruise with fond memories. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"Curtis is my new favorite person and he deserves the best," Forey said. "He made me cry by sending me roses, serenading me and making me feel so special while on the cruise. With the sunburn I had to keep my feet elevated so I did not get to enjoy the water. What could have been the worst experience of my life was made so much better. Curtis is a very special person." </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fans have already purchased tickets for Cruise with Curtis 2020 and with the trajectory of the "One Day" launch song, fans might be smart to get on board with their own ticket purchases.

<p>Nissan’s Chukkers for Charity will have a different flavor when it returns its 22nd annual polo match and car show held in Franklin. This year’s theme, “Diamonds and Divots,” will celebrate an afternoon of polo featuring all female polo players for the first time. </p>

Both teams will feature all-female players, with the Ironhorse Farms team including Martha Bennett, Virginia Ingram, Hope Arellano and Gillian Johnston.

It provides a deep look into Braly’s childhood, where the Humble, Texas native experienced bullying throughout high school. “That was a difficult time in my life—mere words can leave lifetime scars,” mentions Braly. “But, it was an experience that made me stronger and I wouldn’t change it for anything. It taught me how important it was to be kind.” The 10-song album features tracks such as “Love You Down,” “Hate Me,” and “Simple’s Not Easy” that touch on love, loneliness, fear, break-ups and of course, beer. A “labor of love,” the compilation is a reflection of personal and artistic evolution and was created with purposeful intent to inspire. </p>

<p><strong>About Curtis Braly </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Early in Curtis’ performing career, he opened for acts such as Daryl Singletary and Johnny Rodriguez. Introducing his influences as Reba, Randy Travis, Kenny Rogers, Garth Brooks and Clay Walker, to name a few, Curtis draws from these performers’ abilities to capture an audience—to bring music to life as a must-hear storyteller. He “delivers” with believable emotion and a charging energy to make a story unfold right before your ears. He travels the stage in each high-energy performance to offer something different than the night before. His 2016 summer show schedule included a number of performances on tour with <a contents="Tanya Tucker" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.tanyatucker.com" target="_blank">Tanya Tucker</a> promoting his new album "<a contents="YOU MATTER" data-link-label="You Matter" data-link-type="page" href="/you-matter" target="_blank">YOU MATTER</a>", produced by <a contents="Kent Wells" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.gtrnashville.com" target="_blank">Kent Wells</a>. While Curtis is devoted to his country music roots, his music caters to the new generation of contemporary country music fans and listeners who have a hankering for pop, jazz, and rock.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"># # #</p>Curtis Bralytag:www.curtisbraly.com,2005:Post/44005742016-10-02T17:07:27-05:002017-02-05T13:24:14-06:00REVIEW: Curtis Braly creates enjoyable contemporary country music in You Matter.<p><strong>Review of:</strong> 'You Matter' by Curtis Braly <br><strong>Reviewed by:</strong> Erin Huestis, The Celebrity Cafe</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_large"><strong>Curtis Braly released "You Matter" on Sept. 9.<br>With production by Kent Wells, this contemporary country album is entertaining and heartfelt.</strong></span><br> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Curtis Braly is a Texan whose investment in singing began at a young age. After taking a somewhat roundabout path back into the spotlight, Braly made two albums. Entitled "You Matter", <a contents="Kent Wells" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.gtrnashville.com/home" target="_blank">Kent Wells</a> now produced the artist’s third record. Reflecting Braly’s desire to touch a wide array of people, this album draws on his own life experiences. Ranging from fun and lighthearted to heavy and emotional, You Matter covers a broad spectrum of humanity. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You Matter opens with a track called “Song You Can Drink A Beer To.” Not surprisingly, the piece is everything the title suggests. An unpretentious tune, it applies to a large scope of moods. Punctuated by wailing guitars, this country song has enough rock elements to keep a wide audience smiling. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Curtis Braly goes on to deliver entertaining pop-twinged tracks such as “Don’t You Wanna,” “Simples Not Easy” and “Storm Chaser.” Amidst these are a few enjoyable emotional peaks and valleys. “Secondhand High” is among these – a definitive highlight on You Matter. An old western sounding intro with deeper tonality acts as the backdrop to smooth vocals, which spark listener attention. With a classically rock progression, Braly keeps the momentum building. Additionally, appealingly rough edges on “Secondhand High” let audiences know that this artist’s work is not always shiny.<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/48399/50553e5ee38f738213931656a6805d7665d5e38f/medium/curtisbraly-finaledit-lowres-image-8.jpg?1475445571" class="size_m justify_right border_" /></p>
<p><br><span class="font_large"><strong>Realism in song</strong></span><br> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Love You Down” was the first single released off You Matter. Enticing musicality permeates this strong love song. Though it depicts a complicated situation, Braly does not tend too far toward either emo or overly forceful – causing the song to feel honest. Immediately following, “Hate Me” draws attention to the murky waters of breakups. It rings true in complexity and simultaneous straightforwardness. “Hate Me” is likely to garner trust from audiences in its realism. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You Matter continues with “Pour Me a Memory.” Another track grounded in unabashed humanity, it is both sorrowful and relatable. A percussion heavy and slower tune, “Pour Me a Memory” does not seem overworked or unduly polished. In the fine country tradition of singing about the ‘ordinary’ in a way that makes it engaging – encouraging listeners to smell the roses and sharing sympathy over bad days – this album closes with the casual “Best Seat in the House.” </p>

The organization announced today that country singer, Curtis Braly, has agreed to come on board as a celebrity judge for the semi-finals & final rounds taking place in November. Curtis will be appearing as a celebrity judge in both the Austin & Houston hosted competitions.</span><br> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="font_large">The singing competition was originally conceived by the Woodlands Area Chamber, but eventually grew to be too large and too community-based to remain under the Chamber’s umbrella. When the Chamber announced it would no longer host the event, Donna Wick of Wicked Publicity, took the opportunity to become the new host. Her first step was to strategically partner with <a contents="Mathew Knowles" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathew_Knowles" target="_blank"><strong>Mathew Knowles</strong></a>, father of Beyoncé and who has represented acts such as Destiny’s Child and Earth, Wind & Fire, to bring an additional level of professionalism and credibility to the competition.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="font_large">“As a Woodlands-based public relations and publicity firm that not only enjoys strong relationships with area businesses and media outlets, but also national and international reach and impact, we are excited to host a competition that caters to our core strengths,” Wick said. “With <strong>Texas Star</strong>, entrants from the area and surrounding region will experience a whole new competition event,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/48399/d975012ef4256b7fe0d3d17cd876e648a4ec8d4e/medium/texasstar.png?1442001813" class="size_m justify_right border_" /><span class="font_large" style="text-align: justify;">with greater community involvement, upscaled spo</span><span style="text-align: justify; font-size: 1.4em;">nsorship opportunities, larger prizes and higher stakes.” Additionally, an Austin-based version of Texas Star will run in the same time frame this year, with a five-city Texas roll-out planned for next year, culminating in a statewide champion “Texas Star” whose prize will include performing at SXSW.</span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br><span class="font_large">The Woodlands singing competition is based in Montgomery County but has opened registration to applicants from all over the state of Texas. The preliminary rounds of Texas Star: The Woodlands will be held on <strong>O</strong></span><span class="font_large"><strong>ctober 16, 23 and 30</strong> at <strong>Crescent Moon Wine Bar</strong> located at 440 Rayford Road in Spring. “At each of the three preliminary rounds, we’ll take the first 30 paid contestants,” said Wick. “Each singer will be given 90 seconds to sing their song and impress our celebrity guest judges and the fans that will be in the audience. Each preliminary round will end with nine judges’ picks and one ‘wildcard’ contestant chosen by the audience.”</span><br> </div>

Fans from all over joined Curtis Braly to raise money for a great cause. Not only did they get to enjoy great music, they helped raise $8,000 for the <a href="http://lonesurvivorfoundation.org"><strong>Lone Survivor Foundation</strong></a>.<br> <div style="text-align: justify;">Braly is no stranger to the Houston area. Over the years, Curtis Braly, a Houston native, has been an inspiration to many through his musical talent and selfless community service. On the night of August 8<sup>th</sup>, Houston’s Mayor Parker took notice and acknowledged Curtis’ efforts when she presented him with a proclamation naming August 8, 2015 as “Curtis Braly Day” in the <a contents="City of Houston" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.houstontx.gov/mayor/" target="_blank">City of Houston</a>.<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/48399/4b90eeb7a88d4d80406bf370d7e1bd4bde727bb2/small/6.jpg?1383181514" class="size_s justify_right border_none" alt="" /><br> <br>The Proclamation reads, “Outside of his musical accomplishments, Curtis Braly is a strong advocate for anti-bullying. He has always been at the forefront of teaching understanding and acceptance and never hesitates to use his big heart and talents to help out those in need or to encourage those who need encouragement. He has led campaigns for awareness on child abuse and neglect, domestic violence, several anti-bullying campaigns and now the U.S. Armed Forces.” When asked about the proclamation, Curtis said, “I am so grateful for Mayor Parker’s support. It means a great deal to me to be honored where I grew up.”<br> <br>This is yet another item to add to a long list of Braly’s achievements. Recently he became a member of the <a href="http://cmaworld.com">Country Music Association</a> as well as celebrated the recent announcement of being nominated for IMEA's "Country Entertainer of the Year," "Country Male Artist of the Year," and "Country Album of the Year".<br> <br>This country artist recently released his single, ‘Living on Sunshine’ off his EP, All About The Ride. On the heels of this release, he performed in Music City during CMA Music Festival in June. There is no slowing down for this Texan who has toured all over the southwest entertaining thousands of fans with his energetic performances.<br> <br>For more information on Curtis Braly please visit <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/blzak/z70pil/r5plfd">www.curtisbraly.com</a>.<br><br><iframe class="justify_inline" data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="DbkjQUHt17Y" data-video-thumb-url="http://img.youtube.com/vi/DbkjQUHt17Y/0.jpg" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DbkjQUHt17Y?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" height="200" width="320" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe>

About a year ago I set out on a “full steam ahead” journey to give it one last go around for my musical dream. Over the course of this past year, I released the single “Live Laugh & Love” that had great success, released my first professionally directed music video that reached over 20 countries in a short amount of time, performed for amazing crowds at several sold out shows, became an official CMT Artist, received an amazing endorsement deal from RWB Vodka, signed my first record deal with Studio Gold Nashville and just last night was extremely honored to received the “Country Male Artist of the Year” from the International Music & Entertainment Association. Now, today, I’m on my tour bus headed to Nashville to start recording a new album produced by Emmy Award winning producer, Kenny Royster. It just goes to show that when you make up your mind to get something accomplished…YOU CAN DO IT. <br>Over the last year, I’ve had an opportunity to meet and visit with wonderful fans across 6 states and have gained documented supporters in 38 states of the USA. It has been such a pleasure to talk with each and every one of you. The love & support you show me leaves me speechless at times! The success of 2014 would never be possible without you.<br> <br>The journey of following your dreams is not always easy.

I am beat! Less than 5 days now before I get the priviledge of performing in my hometown of Houston, Texas. I've had several people ask if I'd be performing the new single, "Caylee's Eyes", and the answer is YES. I am still so excited about that song, that I use every opportunity I get to share it. There are also several songs from my last album, Second Chance, included in the show line-up. <br><br>
Just a reminder that I will be performing at 6:45pm and again at 8:30pm, Saturday night, Oct 22nd. I will also be performing the National Anthem around 8:00pm at the fair grounds. If you'd like to see the festival schedule for the entire weekend, visit <a href="http://www.BallunarFestival.com">www.BallunarFestival.com</a>. You'll find lots of information there. I'm going to try & go early to take advantage of the FREE NASA tours they are giving on Saturday.<br><br>
Be sure to come say hi at the main stage. I look forward to seeing you there!<br><br>
Take Care,<br><br>

Super excited about getting to sing at the NASA / Johnson Space Center for the Ballunar Festival on October 22nd. I've attended this festival in the past and it's always a fun time. Can't wait to see all the Hot Air Balloons lit up under the moonlight. Several years ago, I really wanted the opportunity to sing the National Anthem at this festival...who knew that only three years later I'd not only be singing the National Anthem but I'd be headlining the entertainment on Saturday night. I hope everyone in the area gets to come out and dance under the starlight. With the NASA Shuttle program coming to an end this year; I'm definitely going to take advantage of the NASA tours on Saturday during the festival. Looking forward to seeing you all.<br><br>

When I received the lyrics to "Caylee's Eyes" over a year ago and was presented with the opportunity to record it, one of my many major concerns was how the family members of Caylee would be impacted by the song and what their perspective would be in regards to the lyrics. I've always wanted to make certain that I kept family members in the forefront of my mind as to insure that they did not feel disrespected.<br><br>
Since it's release only 5 days ago, I have received 100's of emails, messages & comments from people all over the world expressing their gratitude for recording such a symbolic song about Caylee Anthony and for using the song for a greater cause. The kind words that people have so generously took the time to send me has been a very rewarding feeling and made me realize how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to sing "Caylee's Eyes". Today, the reality of just how much the song has impacted people came to light when I received two emails from Caylee Anthony family members expressing their gratitude. Out of respect and privacy for the family members, I have chosen not to share the specifics. However, I did want to publically say just how much this opportunity means to me. I have learned so much about just how big of a problem Child Abuse & Neglect is not only in this country but around the world.<br><br>
I hope that everyone will help me share this message through song by spreading the word about "Caylee's Eyes" and encouraging people to download the song so that we can support organizations like Dreamcatchers for Abused Children and help make a difference in not only a child's life but the family members that are impacted by these tragedies. Thank you all again for your sweet comments. The song has currently been listened to and/or downloaded in over 400 cities across the globe and your help and support will keep the song spreading world-wide.<br><br><a target="_new" href="http://www.itunes.com/curtisbraly">www.iTunes.com/CurtisBraly<br></a><br><a target="_new" href="https://www.youtube.com/curtisbraly">www.YouTube.com/CurtisBraly</a><br><br>

The single is set to release in early August 2011. I am so thrilled how this song has blossomed into something much bigger than ever expected. We originally set out to do something simple & sweet as a tribute to Caylee Anthony; the daughter of Casey Anthony who lost her life a couple of years ago in Florida.<br><br>
Since writer, Cole Vosbury, presented me with the lyrics over a year ago, this idea has really taken off. Our creative minds just couldn't stop. It has turned into a huge studio production that gives me chills each time I listen to it. We have now set to release the single for digital distribution on iTunes, Amazon & other online facets. All of the money made from downloads is going to be donated to a national non-profit organization. The statistics are mortifying. There are over 3 children killed from Child Abuse everyday in this country. If that doesn't make you want to help, I don't know what will. I am very excited & honored to be a part of such a worthy cause!<br><br>
We have also been working on a music video to go along with the new song which has been an exciting journey as well. The video will be behind the scenes footage of the recording sessions for Caylee's Eyes. <br><br>
Keep your eyes & ears peeled for the release and make sure to download it so that we can raise money for a great organization. We together can help prevent future tragedies like Caylee Anthony's. I'll blog again soon with more details as they pass along to me. Thanks for your support!<br><br>
Take Care,<br><br>
