Gill, right, with Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. Vince will be portraying himself on an upcoming episode of ABC’s new blockbuster series, “Nashville.” The episode will air Wednesday, February 27 and will feature other Nashville performers including Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, Pam Tillis, Kate York and Kip Moore.
"I
had a really fun time hanging out with the cast and crew," commented
Gill. "I really do enjoy watching the show and I think it's great for
Nashville. Plus, I was playing myself which wasn't a big stretch."
“Nashville” stars Connie Britton as Rayna Jaymes, Hayden Panettiere as Juliette Barnes, Clare Bowen as Scarlett O’Connor, Eric Close as Teddy Conrad, Charles Esten as Deacon Claybourne, Jonathan Jackson as Avery Barkley, Sam Palladio as Gunnar Scott, Robert Ray Wisdom as Coleman Carlisle and Powers Boothe as Lamar Wyatt.
“Give It All We Got Tonight,” George’s current single, is
Top 20 and climbing and is poised to be the 60th #1 single of his
career, all of which have been represented by MCA Nashville (the only
label he has ever called home).
He has more #1’s than any other single
artist in history, in any genre, beating both The Beatles (20) and Elvis
(18).
They are working on a national tour they're calling "Roots & Boots." On stage together, the trio perform acoustic versions of their more than 40 Top Ten hit songs, as well as share stories about the roots of their music.
"The tour is three friends who love country music having a good time, telling jokes about each other and telling jokes on each other," says Kershaw. "We tell stories behind all of our songs. It's a great show, so don't be square, be there!"
Diffie adds, "Sam, Aaron and I have a great time doing these shows and the fans do too. It's always an adventure."
Tippin says of the tour, "Being onstage with Sammy and Joe is a blast. I admire both of these guys so much. We have a great time together and the show is different every night and always a lot of fun."
Kershaw's platinum-selling albums have had hits such as "She Don't Know She's Beautiful," "I Can't Reach Her Anymore" and "National Working Woman's Holiday."
Tippin's fame was launched with the release of his uncompromising single "You've Got to Stand For Something." He followed that with other major hits including "Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly," "There Ain't Nothing Wrong with the Radio" and "Kiss This."
Since he first topped the charts in 1990 with "Home," Diffie has delivered twelve #1 hits, twenty top 10's and four gold and platinum albums.
