Well…the Tresa Street July JAM has come & gone
& our Country is another year older!! Patronage was 
given to honor those who are serving or have served 
our country & bravely fought for our freedom. There was 
GREAT music by some Super entertainers, Shriners Clowns
 on hand that did a super job entertaining the many children
 that was there. Nowhere could you get more family entertainment
 and help out so many children for such a small ticket price. 
If you missed it, it was truly a loss.
This year's lineup was:
Shriners Clowns Unit
Frank Brannon
John Wise
Ed Rusher
Eugene Hardison

David Chamberlain
Razzy Bailey
Tresa Street

Much THANKS to our County Commissioner, Joe Matthews, for 
opening our annual event in prayer, Kate Matthews & the rest 
of the committee did a wonderful job helping Tresa keep the 
show beautiful, running smoothly and right on time… not to mention
their FANTABLOUS vocals ON stage as well.  We want to extend
 our appreciation to Eugene, Beverly, Sara, and Wally Hardison for
 their hard work and lending their establishment to the cause. Most of
 all THANKS to all those that attended our 2010 celebration, 
and THANKS to the good LORD, we had a great time and
 raised some money to help 
the Shriners Hospitals For Children.  
We hope you’ll join us again next year!!

For Immediate Release

Memories Were Made At The 1st Annual Tresa Street 4th Of July Jam

(
Nashville) - The 4th of July weather may have dampened
some decorations and watered the flowers, but it certainly
didn’t dampen the spirits of country music fans at the
1st Annual Tresa Street 4th of July Jam held
 in Goodlettsville, TN. The show started off with a bang as
Master of Ceremony, Bob Underwood, welcomed everyone
and introduced 11 year old local artist, Abby Garrett,
singing our National Anthem.  The first part of the
afternoon event ran from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
The opening entertainment and staff band included
Bob Reed, Ernie Rowell, Earl Erb, Willie Rainsford,
and Rick Reed who did a beautiful job filling the grounds
with some great country music.
Special guest Steve Riley, from Nashville, took stage
performing some of country music’s finest. Then capturing
that good ol’ traditional sound and all the way from
Jackson, Georgia were country artists John Wise and
Frank Brannon, both members of the Slim Pickin’s Band.
Hendersonville’s own Scotty Blevins
also appeared and shared more of country‘s greatest hits.
Thirteen year old, “Miss Mini Minnie Pearl” from
Houston, Texas and paying tribute to the late Minnie Pearl,
was well received as she entertained the folks with her
contagious laughter and “slap your pappy” funnies.
To add to the variety of music were
traditional Bluegrass picker’s Paul Connor
and John Hagar who delighted the crowd with
a great bluegrass set. As the crowd
kept rolling in so did the storm, but as they say…
”The Show Must Go On” and that it did.
The show was simply moved from the
Long Hollow Jamboree event grounds
to inside at the Long Hollow Jamboree.
Tresa Street's band members,
Michael Radford, Walt Cunningham,
Lynn Owsley, Tommy Miller
Pat Pitts, Tom Wild, Sue Friddle
promptly took the stage and accompanied
the following entertainers.
Eugene Hardison, singer and proprietor of the
Long Hollow Jamboree kicked off the show to a
packed house and left them wanting more. Razzy Bailey,
followed with a string of his hits and his new country
single “Hank Wrote That “. David Chamberlain, songwriter
 of 7 number one George Strait songs, took the stage
and performed several tunes from his new CD
including hits he has written for George, Johnny Paycheck,
Tanya Tucker, and several others.
The crowd was rockin and revved up as Tresa Street
 took the stage and performed some of her original songs
including her 2002 chart single “Naturally”.
Everyone jumped to their feet as Country Music Superstar,
Freddie Hart graced the stage and performed some
of his many hits. He surprised the crowd when he called
on a spectator from the audience, his good friend
Johnny Counterfeit to join him on stage. Counterfeit,
a well known impressionist did several of his “impressions”
including country greats, Johnny Cash
& June Carter and Archie & Edith Bunker. He was hilarious.
Mr. Hart ended his segment of the show
with his monstrous hit “Easy Loving” and the crowd
 roared as Freddie Hart left the stage.
Tresa Street took the stage again with her closing
song “America The Beautiful” to honor our country’s birthday
and left the crowd on their feet with a standing ovation.
Fans stood patiently while all the artists signed
autographs for over an hour and a half.
It was certainly a night to behold and quite the celebration.
If you didn’t see this year’s show, you missed
a wonderful musical moment in time for sure.
Memories were definitely made with a balance of
country music greats, newcomers and adoring
fans from all over the country. I can’t wait to see what
or who next year’s show will bring!

ANNOUNCEMENT

that didn't know her and love her.

Loretta Johnson Memorial Concert “For the Love of IFCO,”
 to be Held June 9


NASHVILLE--A memorial concert for Loretta Johnson, one of three co-founders
 of the International Fan Club Organization (IFCO), will be held June 9
from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Nashville Palace (2611 McGavock Pike,
Nashville–near Opryland). After a lengthy illness, Loretta passed away
from bone marrow cancer in Nashville on April 13th at Alive Hospice.  

Over the past forty years, IFCO has promoted and helped
numerous country artists build their careers, and has also been
instrumental in developing shows and festivals throughout the US
and the UK. The annual “IFCO Fun Fest” show is widely considered
 to be the precursor to “Fan Fair,” known today as the “CMA Music Festival.”
This year, for the first time in over forty years,
there will be no IFCO show. Instead, this non-IFCO sponsored memorial for
 Loretta Johnson will be held. Between running IFCO and taking care
 of Loretta, there was not enough time for Loretta’s sisters,
IFCO co-founders Loudilla and Kay Johnson, to put together a show for 2009.

Artists currently scheduled to appear or perform at Loretta’s

memorial concert include: Billy Yates, Charlie McCoy,
 Linda Davis, Buddy Jewell, Ty Herndon, Michael Peterson,
Jimmie Van Zant, Steve Hall &
Shotgun Red, Ricky Lynn Gregg,
Deborah Allen, Baillie and the Boys, Annie Simms,
Tommy Cash, David Church, and Moore & Moore.  

Proceeds from the event benefit the Loretta Johnson Medical Fund.
Because Loretta’s illness was lengthy, she left many medical bills.
Direct contributions to her medical fund can be made
to The Loretta Johnson Medical Fund,
Contribution Account, Bank of America, 133 Franklin Road,
 Brentwood, TN 37027, (615) 791-3525.

A silent auction at the event will include items donated
 by area businesses and celebrities. Those wishing to donate
an item to the auction may also contact Carrie Moore-Reed,
Third Coast Talent, carrie@thirdcoasttalent.com, or items
can be mailed to her at Third Coast Talent,
P.O. Box 334, Kingston Springs, TN 37082.

Ticket prices are $30 reserved, $25 general admission.
For tickets and other information,
please contact benefit organizer, Terri Church,

A Country Music Icon and friend has passed.
Ms. Loretta Johnson

We'll Sure Miss Her!!!!

 LORETTA JOHNSON _ obituary

Loretta Irene Johnson entered this world on
November 29.1941 in Forgan, Oklahoma, the fifth child born to
Mack and Audrey (Elston) Johnson. Loretta was preceded
 in death by her parents and two brothers, Luther and Olin.
Her brother Everett resides in Wild Horse, Colorado and
sisters, Loudilla and Kay Johnson reside in Brentwood,Tennesse.

During Loretta’s early childhood, the family resided
at Booker,Texas, where her Dad worked farming and ranching.
In 1948 her Dad achieved a dream of securing his own farm
 operation and moved the family to Wild Horse, in Cheyenne County Colorado.

While still teenagers on the rolling plains of Eastern Colorado;
Loretta and her sisters established their own country
 music business, a big part of which is the International
Fan Club Organization (IFCO), which has promoted and
helped numerous country artists build their careers.
 IFCO has also been instrumental in developing
shows and festivals throughout the US
and the UK. The annual “IFCO Fun Fest” show” is
widely considered to be the precursor to “Fan Fair”,
known today as the “CMA Music Festival”.

In 1991 Loretta and her sisters packed up
and moved home and company to “Music City”.

Loretta will be remembered by all for
 her “big heart”, generosity, wit and charm.

Loretta departed this life on Monday, April 13 at
 Alive Hospice in Nashville after a long battle
with bone marrow cancer.

Joining Loretta’s siblings in mourning her passing are
 Everett’s wife, Carlene, their children Kaylene Robinson,
Wayne Johnson and Sheri Stoney; nieces and nephews:
 Cynthia Erker, Olin Johnson, Jr., Shirley Johnson,
Anita Kuhlman and Richard johnson, Uncle Lloyd
and Bessie Elston, Aunt Bernita Horn,
numerous great nieces,
great newphews, cousins, and friends.

----------------------------------------

A Memorial Celebation of Loretta's life is
being planned to be held here in Nashville.
 Date, time and other details to be announced.

Thank you for the outpouring of prayers, support and love!

We are grateful, too, for your contributions to the
Loretta Johnson Medical Fund
, all of which will
 be a tremendous help toward paying doctors,
emergency room, ambulance, hospital and
other expenses relative to her treatment.

May God bless each and every one of you.

Loudilla & Kay

       Our Loss Is Heavens Gain
  My Memories of Mr. Don Helms
                                                        
           
           Mr. Don & I visiting at one of the Steel Shows in 2007

                                                         
       
                   Mr. Don & I after recording on May 19,  2008 
 

I first met Mr. Don Helms a few years back when we were both performing on a steel show. He and Ms. Hazel were in the booth right next to me and we soon struck up a conversation.  Over the next couple of days we became good friends, and we have stayed in touch ever since.  But now it’s August 11, 2008 and I’m sad to say I lost one of my good friends today, one of the finest gentlemen I’ve ever known, Mr. Don Helms. As I sit here with tears in my eyes I think back to the last time I saw him.
 
I have been working on a new country project for awhile now and I had recently cut the song “ The Death Of Hank Williams”. During a listen back in the studio, the song just seemed to be missing something. So after discussing the missing part, my producer and I agreed it needed that haunting Hank signature sound and we knew just the man that could add it. I called and asked Mr. Don if he would be interested in recording some steel on my new cut of an old song. He said ,“you know of all the songs I’ve done with Hank and about Hank, I’ve never played that one”. I always wanted too but just never have, yes, I’d be glad to, he said. With that, we set a date and time. Knowing that Mr. Don wasn’t getting around as well as he had and with all the amazing new technology, my producer , Michael Radford, my engineer, Wayne Marsh and I decided to take the studio to Mr. Don. It was on May 19th, 2008 and we arrived around 1:30pm. Mr. Don and Ms. Hazel greeted us at the door and were both happy to see us. We brought our equipment in and set it up in the dining room of Mr. Don’s and Ms. Hazel’s home. The three of us chit chatted while the guys set everything up. Mr. Don said “Well Tresa, I’ve got a brand new steel in there, I’ve never played much, do you want me to play that one today or do you want me to play Ole' Red?” I quickly answered, “Ole' Red, Mr. Don”. He said,” I kinda thought you might want that one,” and smiled a big smile.
 
Mr. Don played with all his heart and soul that day and with that same magical sound he gave Hank Williams many years ago. He played the song through a few times and said , Well, how’s that? “Sounds great Mr. Don, that’s a wrap, I said ! But instead of taking off his picks, he just sat there sharing a few more licks on the steel for us and reminiscing about some of the great songs he had recorded in the past. He just seemed to get lost in the music. It was fascinating.  Sensing that he was tiring, I said, “You did a beautiful job Mr. Don, What do I owe you? He smiled real big and puckered up his lips and said “Just This”.  I said, “Well you’ve got that for sure Mr. Don, as I bent down with gratitude and gave him a BIG kiss . He said "that's all you owe me", I said, "but you don’t have to do that Mr. Don, I intended to pay you.” He was short and sweet!  "I know I don’t have to do that, I’ve earned the right to do what ever I want, and I want to do this, I’m proud to be able to do it." Then he chuckled under his breath and repeated to Ms. Hazel… "Hazel, Tresa asked me what she owed me and I told her this" and he puckered up again. Ms. Hazel just smiled with admiration as I gave him another big hug. “Mr. Don, thank you so much for the beautiful touch that only you could add to my song. I’m so honored that you played on this for me. He said, I’m glad to do it honey, and I want to come out to the Long Hollow Jamboree and hear you and sit in with you when I get through going to all these doctors. Excited I said, “ Oh I’d love that and be honored Mr. Don… I’m gonna hold you to it“.
 
He and Ms. Hazel smiled, wishing us well and with big hugs added “come back anytime” as we left. Little did I know that, that was the last time I’d get to see my friend Mr. Don. I did get to talk with him and Ms. Hazel after that, but sharing the music with him that day will remain with me forever, I know he thoroughly enjoyed it.  Mr. John Wise, a mutual friend said that as far as he knew, I was the last person that Mr. Don recorded with and that makes it even more special to me. It’s always hard for me to understand why our friends and loved ones are taken away. In this case, I guess our good Lord needed a steel player and the Drifting Cowboys couldn't wait any longer. I bet Ole’ Hank and the boys sure was glad to see him!!
 
Yes, as I said Mr. Don was a good friend of mine and was one of the finest men I’ve known . He had a true God given talent and shared it with the world! He was a friend to all and was loved by all that knew him!! Especially Ms. Hazel.  He will be missed !!
 
Thanks Mr. Don for everything …I’m sealing this with a kiss!!
 
With love always,
 
Tresa ;-)

Can The Internet And High Tech Streaming Video Replace Radio As A Way To Advance The Music Careers Of New Artists?

(Nashville, TN) - Well, country music artist, Tresa Street, and her team are banking on it. Although Street will not be the first Indie artist to use the power of video on the net, she may be one of the first to foster a plan to broadcast a regular music show. The hour long show called “Tresa Street Live” will be broadcast on Friday nights from the Long Hollow Jamboree, a non alcohol restaurant and dance hall, just outside Nashville in Goodlettsville, TN.

“Tresa Street Live” will utilize the powerful new broadcast technology being offered by www.Ustream.tv. Not only does Ustream provide the technology to stream live video broadcasts from anywhere in the world and record it online for viewing later, they also offer profit sharing from their pool of sponsors.

The music performed during the show is licensed through B.M.I and ASCAP via their new “Media License”. The internet will be used to promote the show, attract new fans, introduce and sell new Indie music, both CD’s and downloads, and offer talent buyers a front row seat to see Street perform. In addition to the obvious promotional benefits for Tresa’s career, the show is expected to eventually earn a profit by way of national and international sponsors. Ms. Street said “as the show progresses we plan to improve the quality (more cameras), add a pre-show MC, include other Indie artists as guests, and take requests via “internet chat”.

It remains to be seen whether the internet and all the evolving video broadcast technology will eventually replace current terrestrial radio and become the main source for introducing new music and new artists to eager music fans. However, based on the exploding popularity of Itunes, Wal-Mart, and other music download sites, it certainly seems to be the “what’s next“ in artist development.

Tresa Street first gained international recognition with her 2002 release of a song she wrote called “Naturally”. She has since released two commercial studio CD’s, and developed a worldwide fan base via her web site and her touring activities. She is a member of the CMA and regularly attends the CMA Music Festival.

Tresa Street Leaves Georgiana Alabama Standing

Nashville, TN-- Tresa Street was one of the 2007 Hank Williams Festival performers this year and literally left the crowd wanting more. She was well received as she graced the stage with some of her originals and of course some good ole’ traditional country classics. Tresa sang to 4,000 - 5,000 country music fans and as she finished her show with the classic “The Death Of Hank Williams” she was honored with a standing ovation and a crowd chanting for more. Tresa returned to the stage with an encore song entitled “Last Light”. One of the originals from her “Baby It’s You CD”.
Backstage Tresa was eagerly met by news reporters and new fans, then she was hurried off to an area where she continued to sign autographs for over 1 1/2 hours straight. After meeting and greeting happy music fans from all over the country, Tresa was personally escorted by the Mayor of Georgiana, Lynn Watson, to the live remote with “Q94” WQZX FM radio for an interview. When asked what she thought of the Hank Williams Festival thus far, Tresa said, “ I’m having a great time, everyone has been just wonderful. Just good country folks, loving good country music, so I feel right at home”. This year’s festival entertainment lineup included: Gene Watson, Mark Chesnutt, Jett Williams, Tresa Street, David Church, Brad Magness, and many more.

Tresa Street Needs You !!
 
As most of you know, Tresa is a big supporter of several worthwhile organizations, but St. Jude for Kids is at the very top of her list !!   Each year Tresa donates her time, music and items to the children!!  This year isn't any different.
She is totally committed to raising awareness, expectations and goals !!

However....we need your help too !!
 

The Country Music Fan Site Association, based in Lisbon, is hosting holiday auctions on EBay to benefit the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital beginning NOW!!.

More than 50 items, including signed items from Tresa Street, Bobby Pinson, Steve Azar and Jimmy Wayne, and more were donated to the group by fans and performers. All proceeds from the auctions, held through the group’s Fans Care campaign, will be donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which provides care for children with life-threatening illnesses, primarily childhood cancers.

Tresa said; " I  really enjoy helping where it's needed and these children's lives depend on us !   My fans/friends have big hearts and I know they will want to help too !   The CFMSA is a wonderful organization that helps us to work together to make a difference...it's kind of a  Country Gives Together thing !!   It's such a gratifying feeling  teaming up with my fans/friends and being part of something of this magnitude, knowing that together we helped to make a difference.      People helping people...It's  a beautiful thing !!!"

 
The CMFSA auctions are part of the Country Cares for St. Jude’s Kids campaign, a national radio fund-raising event that began in 1989. More than 200 radio stations, including WWYZ 92.5-FM in Hartford, have raised $250 million in pledges since the program’s inception.

Items donated  are open to bidding for one week starting this past Saturday. Please help Tresa help the children !!  Just click on the CMFSA Banner below to find that special something from your favorite artist.... Tresa has TWO Concert packages on the Ebay Auction !!!
