Danielle Peck has her day
Wednesday, October 21, 2009 – Danielle Peck had her very own day in her native Ohio.
Last Saturday night, prior her show in Zanesville, Ohio, Peck, a native of nearby Coshocton, was surprised by mayors of both towns with a new proclamation. Oct. 17 is now officially recognized as "Danielle Peck Day" by the town of Zanesville and its citizens.
"I was so shocked and frazzled by the news that I actually forgot the words to one of my songs once we began the show," said Peck. "What an incredible honor."
Peck then took the stage at the Seacrest Auditorium in recognition of Zanesville's Public Safety Awareness Day.
The Zanesville performance marks the first time Peck has performed in the area since her teenage years. "I've seen so many wonderful faces that I haven't seen in years... spending time at home always makes me appreciate my upbringing" said Peck. "Everything was wonderful... I love home."

One thing that separates Danielle Peck is the way she uses a religious theme in a breakup song. Peck's first single "I Don't" speaks from a woman's point of view talking to her ex-lover who wants forgiveness "The difference is Jesus loves you, I don't," she replies.
Whether it's a tender ballad or an up-tempo number, Peck's able to sing with enough emotion to make you feel like she's fully experienced heartache or a cut-loose, girls night out.

Concert Review: McBride, Adkins shine sometimes –
As Martina McBride pointed out, the pairing of the country singer with Trace Adkins on their current jaunt was surprising. After all, she's of diva-quality voice, petite, non-controversial unless you call singing songs that empower women controversial. Adkins, on the other hand, has not been afraid to speak his mind with a kick butt attitude.... »»»
Concert Review: Eilen Jewell wears her musical hats well –
Eilen Jewell wears a lot of musical hats. The Idaho native, who now lives in Boston, fronts the Eilen (ee-lin) Jewell Band, a pretty much traditional country band.

Blue Highway's banjo player Jason Burleson acknowledges that their 1995 debut album "It's A Long, Long Road" turned out to be prophetic. It has been quite a journey for the Tennessee-based band that has become one of the "gold standards" of bluegrass, with 8 more "signpost" albums along the way, the latest being their newly-released 15th Anniversary collection on Rounder, "Some Day."... »»»
Elvis Aron Presley, had he not collapsed face first into a shag carpet in his Graceland bathroom on Aug. 16, 1977, would have been 75-years-old Friday. Yet, somehow, his birthday seems all the more important because he is not actually here while others feast at his table. Graceland - a greater cultural icon and more milkable cash cow than even the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - is being remodeled for future generations to come, gawk and breathe in a few scant molecules of the King's essence. Do the new overseers really care about Elvis?... »»»
