"Rise of Music City Locals to National Stars"

The band, TRAILER CHOIR, who is featured in this segment of "Music City" is in a category/ genre all of their own. I first heard the band via myspace about roughly a year & a half ago, and instantly became a fan.

 A mixture of rock, pop, country, hip hop and even some make you smile comedy all thrown together to form their unique style best fitted as "Trailer Choir". The band truly is a new breed all of their own. For sure not your typical cookie cutting Nashville country music sounding band. Yet once you hear them, you will understand why they stood out from the wild pack of talent in Nashville, to become one of the nations newest rising stars holding the spot light.

 I have actuallywitnessed the rise of this band from being locals to being all over CMT and the radio and touring the U.S playing on some of the nations biggest stages, growing them into national stars. Being local favorites, Trailer Choir was witnessing their crowd of fan following at their live performances grow larger and larger. Not only catching the attention of music lovers in the city, Trailer Choir caught the attention of the big daddy of today's country music, Toby Keith. After witnessing Trailer Choir himself, Toby too became an instant fan, bringing him to offer the band a deal with his label, ShowDog Records. From that point on it was all she wrote. Now having a hit single, "Off The Hillbilly Hook" blowing up radio stations and TV screens across the country with the rocking fun filled video that has been blowing up the charts on CMT.

Not only with the video single, Trailer Choir has been seen on several of CMT artist based shows. The most recent appearance is that of being on Toby's new hit movie, "Beer For My Horses". Along with all of the radio, video, t.v. play and even big hit movies the band has also kept their incredibly fun entertaining live shows going by joining the Big Dog Daddy Tours with Toby Keith but still they keep their roots with live shows in Nashville all the time. Over all, it has been a fast and steady rise filled with tons of "Off The Hillbilly Hook" moments for the Music City trio but it is yet still just the beginning. I can only imagine the height that this band will reach and I can't wait to see what is in store from them in the future.

INTERVIEW WITH TRAILER CHOIR

Chris/ DGT: Many fans including myself have witnessed the quick rise, since the date The Trailer Choir inked a deal w/ Show Dog Records, give us your insight towards how you feel with all that has been happening for the T.C. since that moment of signing?
