first round performance in the Shiner Rising Star contest.
Last year's winner, Darryl Lee Rush, has played Bocktoberfest, the
Texas Music Revolution, and opened big shows for Robert Earl Keen and
others, since being crowned champion last year. Word has it that Shiner
will be painting his face on delivery trucks in all 31 states of their
territory, as his new CD is released in the coming weeks.
Sara will compete with 32 other acts to become the 3rd act with a
promotional relationship with Shiner (along with Rush and Keen). The
winner will get a CD produced by Ray Wylie Hubbard with major promo
dollars behind it.
Audience support is a big factor in the judging, so we need everyone to
make plans to come out to Sam's Boat in Addison on Aug. 18. We will
have special giveaways that night for e-blast subscribers...details to
come.

Call My Name showed up on the Top 5 Most Added list of the Americana
Music Association Chart this week, and it's about half way to making
the chart. John Prine, Robert Earl Keen and Dwight Yoakum top the
chart, and our friend, Hayes Carll, remains at #9 this week. Check out

The Austin Chronicle ran a terrific review of Call My Name last week:
"...she displays a rare talent for singing and writing
a wide sweep of country...Hamilton has created one of
the best debuts out of Texas this year."
