Twang Town Lowdown - Wednesday March 9th

 

RORY FEEK: SET TO WRITE A BOOK



In the days before her death, Joey Feek encouraged Rory to write a book.
He says, "Joey and I have both experienced the power of living and telling a great story, so I hope to be able to continue writing and being part of a great story.”

Last year, Rory wrote and directed the movie Josephine, which is based on the true story of a woman who disguised herself as a Confederate soldier to find her husband. 

JANA KRAMER: SET TO PERFORM WITH NASHVILLE BALLET:


Jana Kramer has an unusual collaboration on the docket. She'll sing her song " I Got The Boy" live, while dancers from the Nashville Ballet perform a piece specially choreographed to the song.

She says, “I grew up in the ballet world, and this makes me feel as though it’s all come full circle. I can’t wait to celebrate this wonderful evening in our city that I love.”
The performance takes place Saturday at Schermerhorn Symphony Center.

DOLLY PARTON: RENEWING HER WEDDING VOWS WITH CARL


On Monday, Dolly Parton held a massive press conference in Nashville to announce her new tour and the Pure and Simple double-disc collection. She and her husband Carl are also heading down the aisle again in May for their 50th wedding anniversary.

Before Dolly and Carl first tied the knot on May 30th, 1966, she was a new artist on Monument Records, and the head of the label advised her to wait a year to get married. But she and Carl didn’t take the advice. They eloped to Ringgold, Georgia and had a small wedding at a local Baptist church with her mom, a preacher, the preacher’s wife and a witness.

LUKE BRYAN: HOOKS HIS OWN 130 POUND SAILFISH:

 

If music doesn’t work out, Luke Bryan could always retire and run a charter boat service for fishing trips. Last week, Luke went deep-sea fishing in Costa Rica with friends and family and they caught six sailfish, weighing about 130 pounds each.
According to CMT, Luke hooked his own catch, which is something not many anglers can do. But on the last deep-sea fishing trip with Dierks Bentley and Jason Aldean, Luke’s son Bo nabbed the biggest fish -- a 21-pound red snapper.
