DIERKS BENTLEY CROSSES THE POND
FOR SOLD-OUT EUROPEAN DATES

Six-Time GRAMMY Nominee
Returns To The Studio
To Finish Fourth Studio Album

Nashville, TN - July 18, 2008 - Award winning singer/songwriter
Dierks Bentley will return to Europe this weekend for a headlining
tour with sold out stops in England, Ireland, Norway and France.

"It's great to be going back over again," said Bentley before taking
the stage last night at Country Thunder in Twin Lakes, MN.  "It's a
chance to see some friends and fans we made the last time we
were there, and also hopefully meet and play for some new ones."

Having already headlined some of the nation's biggest country
music festivals this summer, Bentley will return to the states on
August 2 for a main stage slot at the long-running alternative music
festival Lollapalooza in Chicago's Grant Park.

"We've always tried to focus on playing new places or spots you
maybe wouldn't expect to see a country singer," said Bentley.  
"Whether it is a gig in France or a rock festival like Lollapalooza, the
goal is always the same...to bring some new fans back to Nashville
with us."

Following his summer festival stops, Bentley will finally take a
long-awaited break from the road when he returns to the studio to
put the finishing touches on his fourth studio album for Capitol
Nashville.

"This is definitely the most time I've ever spent making an album,"
notes Bentley.  "I started writing for it in December 2006, and I have
put these songs through four different studios, countless
soundchecks and dressing room strummings, and a couple have
even made it into the live show at some point or another.  I've really
enjoyed having the time to let the album and the songs develop
fully."

Having firmly made a place for himself at the top of the charts with
his third disc LONG TRIP ALONE, which spawned two number one
hit singles ("Every Mile A Memory," "Free & Easy (Down The Road I
Go"), six GRAMMY nominations and a CMA nod for "Album Of The
Year," Bentley is poised to join the ranks of country music's elite
with his next release.

"No Tomorrow Here Tonight" Secures Double-Digit Adds And
Featured Placement On iTunes
NASHVILLE, TENN - (May 13, 2008) - Big Machine Records
singer/songwriter Fisher Stevenson is quickly garnering the
attention of country radio programmers and music fans alike with
his debut single "No Tomorrow Here Tonight" from the forthcoming
Nathan Chapman produced, self-titled debut album. Stevenson
picked up impressive double-digit radio adds in his initial week and
has also been chosen as a featured download on iTunes' country
page. Currently on an intense six-month radio tour visiting over 120
stations across the country, Stevenson is focused on getting his
brand of country music, influenced by Dwight Yoakam, Rodney
Crowell and Keith Urban, heard by listeners everywhere.
"I wanted to do songs that really meant something to me, said
something about my life, how I got here, the lessons learned," says
Stevenson "I'm meeting so many really amazing people on my radio
tour, and they all tell me that they can relate to the things I'm singing
about, and that human connection is what it's about."
"No Tomorrow Here Tonight," written by Dave Berg, Courtney Dashe
and
James Slater is about living in the moment.
Stevenson confesses, "This is really about love at first sight...
Something so strong that no matter what you've been through, for
this moment, what you're feeling is strong enough to erase
whatever consequences there might be. You know, to fall in love,
you've got to let go of your fear... This is the way into the thing you've
been waiting for your whole life."

MARTY STUART WRAPS PRODUCTION ON FIRST SEASON
OF XM RADIO SHOW "MARTY STUART'S AMERICAN ODYSSEY"

NASHVILLE, TN - (May 21, 2008) - Country Music Icon Marty Stuart
will wrap the first season of his hugely successful XM Radio Show
Marty Stuart's American Odyssey this summer with a show
spotlighting music in Las Vegas, NV.  XM Radio broadcasts the
hour-long show every Friday at 8:00AM EST on America Channel 10
and all day on XMX Channel 2 with a new show airing every other

The collaboration between Stuart and XM Radio began in October
2007 with a mission to highlight not only country music but all styles
unique to the United States through city-specific programming.
Ranging from Phoenix to Buffalo, Nashville to Cleveland and Jersey
City to Minneapolis, Stuart expresses his respect for American
music by exploring the genre, musical history and artists
indigenous to each city.  Stuart often enhances shows by inviting
guests like Dolly Parton (Nashville), Howard Cramer of the Rock &
Roll Hall of Fame (Cleveland) and Merle Haggard (Bakersfield) to
add personal local color.  Additionally, special themed episodes
have included a Porter Wagoner tribute and Christmas and New
Year's specials.

"Creating American Odyssey has been one of the greatest
experiences of my life," said Stuart. "The research, the writing, the
character development, the camaraderie and the music have
enlightened and enriched me in ways that are beyond belief."

"Our goal was to develop a program that salutes not only country
music, but all forms of music that are unique to America," adds Ray
Knight, Senior Director of Traditional Country/Southern Gospel
Programming, XM Radio. "Fans have shown their support by tuning
in each week and sending great feedback.  I am extremely honored,
proud, and blessed to have Marty Stuart as a member of the XM
Artist Family."

Stuart and XM Radio are continuing their partnership through the
summer with six remaining shows including features on Tulsa,
Bakersfield and Portland. XM Radio has approximately nine million
subscribers and 18 million listeners with country music being their
most popular format.
