Rio Rocko Scoring Big With "Middle Of The Night"

NASHVILLE, TN, MAY 5, 2008--Rio Rocko is already reporting
substantial i-Tunes sales and downloads of its first single, "Middle
Of The Night."  The song is from the duo's self-titled debut album on
Los Angeles-based Phantom Roc Records.  

Sales are being sparked by airplay on radio stations across the U.
S., including WEPG and WSDQ in Tennessee, WKDE in Virginia,
KLOH and KJOE in Minnesota and WAGS in South Carolina.

Rio Rocko is made up of Gregory John Patzner and Sharlene
Ayestaran.  The two, who wrote every song on this remarkable
album, have created a whole new country music sound by fusing
dance hall shuffles, serene ballads and lilting tropical melodies.  
Bruce Kaphan produced the album.
