Wash Me Away, the debut single from country newcomer Drake Jensen has just finished its third week in international release.  To say we're pleased with the success of the single is an understatement!  Wash Me Away is now being played on over 70 radio stations in Canada, USA, Germany, England, New Zealand, Netherlands, Australia, Sweden, Republic of Ireland, France, Belgium, Denmark and Northern Ireland.  Drake's album, On My Way To Finding You, was produced in Nashville by Kim Copeland--and the comments from radio and industry insiders around the world are incredibly positive.  Congratulations Drake!

All of our artists with current releases are doing well internationally.  Aaron Pritchett, Shane Chisholm and Dawson Reigns continue with their chart success in Australia; Tia McGraff and Ryan vanDyk continue to receive solid airplay as well.  Of course, Ryan vanDyk will be looking forward to the next NSAI luncheon in Nashville for one of his songs to be pitched to some of the industry's biggest publishers.

Finally, we wish our friends Raintown the best of luck!  They'll be flying out of Glasgow to Nashville to perform at the International showcase in Nashville on June 6th, as part of the lead-up to CMA Fan Fest.  Congratulations and good luck Raintown!

WEDNESDAY MAY 25, 2011--Dawson Reigns has announced today that he has parted ways with management company Hummel Entertainment.  The split was amicable.

According to Dawson, "I have tremendous respect for Kathryn Hummel.  She's doing great work with Hey Romeo and Chris Assaad.  Sometimes though, for whatever reason, relationships don't work out.  After Kathryn and I talked, she contacted my Canadian and International publicists and thanked them for working with her.  I thought that was really good of her...and I wish her and her other acts success."

Dawson will continue to work with Deborah Wood Publicity and Cameron Tilbury Publicity, as well as his Nashville team, to continue the successes he has had at Canadian and International radio to be ready for his second album.

Listen to American Veterans Radio all week long as Aaron Pritchett is put in the spotlight!  Lots of Aaron's music all week long--some new tracks, some old tracks...and lots more!
