Sammy Kershaw, Band and Crew Involved In A Bus Accident. This past weekend, Sammy Kershaw, his band and crew were involved in a roadway accident while on tour in Texas. On Friday night after hitting the road following a concert in Nocona, Texas, Kershaw’s bus was struck by another passenger vehicle. The bus was impacted at a high speed, causing major damage, leaving the vehicle inoperable. The driver of the vehicle that struck Kershaw’s bus was taken to hospital with injuries. Kershaw, his band and crew were shaken and sore but not seriously injured. “My guys and I are a little sore today… the third day is always the worst. Eleven people were involved in the accident and no one was killed. It could have gone the other way. Buses and cars can be replaced but people can’t. I’m so thankful that the other driver, my band and crew are all still here. We had a guardian angel.” -Kershaw Kershaw has not canceled any concerts and will use alternate means of transportation until his bus is repaired. We at CMNB are very happy to hear that everyone is going to be just fine! Accidents happen every day, just stay focused when on the road. On a lighter note, here is one of my all-time favorite Kershaw songs!

David Kroll Releases Little Soldiers For Veterans Day

Posted on by

David Kroll Helps Charity With Proceeds From “Little Soldiers.” David Kroll’s current single, “Little Soldiers” has touched many soldiers and families. In honor of Veterans Day (November 11th), the artist and Tenacity Records have partnered with the Code of Support Foundation and will be donating proceeds from a two-week sales period to the organization (November 5th – 18th). The Foundation’s mission is to bridge the gap between civilian and military America. Kroll wrote the song withArlos Smith (Mayberry) and it acknowledges the sacrifices made by the families of those serving their country. “David came to us with the idea of putting this song out there to honor the families of service members and veterans, and then we both agreed that we wanted to try and have a positive impact past the song itself. That’s when we started looking around for a partner who could benefit from any money raised by sales of this song. We all felt the Code of Support Foundation was a great choice and could put money the sales of this recording generates to good use, helping the families of the enlisted men and women who are serving our country.” – Mike Kraski, President of Tenacity Records. According to Kroll, many songwriters and artists have written and recorded songs that are a fitting and appropriate tribute to the enlisted men and women who serve our country each and every day, but few songs acknowledge the families who are making their own special sacrifices while their loved ones are serving. Below is a video of Kroll talking about the song. Get your copy of “Little Soldiers” at iTunes now.
