RANDY HOUSER REACTS TO FIRST ACM NOMINATION

“Boots On” Garners ACM Video of the Year Nomination; Houser to Perform at USO Concert in Partnership with ACM Lifting Lives™

NASHVILLE, TN (March 2, 2010) — When hot country newcomer Randy Houser found out today that he was nominated for his first Academy of Country Music Award for Video of the Year, he exclaimed, “This is pretty cool to be acknowledged by the ACM’s like this. ‘Boots On’ was a big song for me and the video was a big part of it. That video could have stood on its own as a YouTube phenomenon and it would have been awesome; I just got lucky enough that Drake was singing my song. To receive this much national recognition for it is more than I ever dreamed of.”

In early 2009, four-year-old Drake Dixon was filmed in the backseat of his nanny’s car lip-syncing to “Boots On,” the second single from Houser’s debut album Anything Goes. Afterwards, Drake’s performance was sent to the record label, who in turn hired producer, Eric Welch, to script a video treatment to fit around Drake’s performance. The resulting video went on to garner a CMA Award Video of the Year nomination, as well as assist in catapulting the single to Top 5 chart status. The video has since been featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, CBS’ The Early Show, Fox & Friends: Weekend, PerezHilton.com, CNN, and more!

In addition to being nominated, Houser will perform when ACM Lifting Lives™ and USO partner this year to bring a free, private concert to the service men and women of Nellis Air Force Base just outside of Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, April 17th. He will join friends Montgomery Gentry for a performance for the base during the ACM “The Week Vegas Goes Country®”weekend festivities.

Houser recently returned from his first-ever USO tour where he performed for troops at camps throughout the Persian Gulf region along with pals Jamey Johnson and Kellie Pickler. Houser is currently in the studio recording his forthcoming sophomore album, They Call Me Cadillac, being released this year (Show Dog-Universal Music).
