Andy Griggs Knows When To Hold ‘Em
Outlasts All But One Doyle’s Room Pro in 2008 World Series of
Poker
Nashville, TN -- Montage Music Group’s Andy Griggs made his
sponsor DoylesRoom.net proud as the first-ever country artist to
participate in the 2008 World Series of Poker, held in Las Vegas last
week. Griggs began the tournament with $20,000 in chips and was
advised by his trainers that he would be doing well if he ended the
first day with $10,000-$15,000. By the end of the day, he had more
than doubled his money, with $51,050 in chips!
By the third day of play, Griggs was the only celebrity left in the
tournament, and lasted three rounds until he went all in with a pair
of 5’s and the other player bested him with a pair of 6’s on the flop.
Impressively, he finished in the top 12 percent of players in the
world renowned tournament.
Griggs received a tremendous amount of media coverage during
the event, and fans can check out the tournament on ESPN as it airs
every Tuesday beginning July 22nd. He kicked off Day Two of the
tournament with a performance of the National Anthem, and also
performed a track, the fitting, “It’s All About The Money,” from his new
Montage Music Group album THE GOOD LIFE, on July 5th.

Songsmith Bonnie Bishop Joins Montage Music Group Publishing
Nashville, TN – Montage Music Group Head of Publishing, Bobby
Rymer, is excited to announce that Texas songwriter
Bonnie Bishop has joined Montage Music Publishing as a staff
writer.
“Bonnie is not only a wonderful singer and artist, but her potential
as a writer is unlimited. I truly believe she is going to make
Nashville stand up and take notice!” says Rymer.
A well known fixture on the Texas touring scene, Bishop spent years
performing in her home state before making the move to Nashville .
Her wide range of influences from classic rock to Motown made her
a fast favorite across Texas and nationwide, and she was soon
sharing bills with artists like Jack Ingram, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and
Randy Rogers. In 2004, her singles "Send Me A Cowboy," and
"Sweet On The Down Low" remained on the Texas Music Chart's
Top 30 throughout the year. Bishop honed her writing chops
collaborating with writers like Walt Wilkins, Jim Lauderdale, and
Richard Leigh, and impressively picked up a guitar for the first time
in 2005 and taught herself to play in a matter of months in order to
become a better writer and performer. In 2007, her talent caught the
attention of Robert Earl Keen, who tapped her to open shows for
him across Texas and the East Coast. Soon after she decided to
move to Music City , and within two months of moving to town,
Montage signed the talented young Texan to a publishing deal.
