Hello friends of Countryproof,
Sorry its been a while since my last update but it's been non stop working to wrap the CountyProof EP. Hard to believe that " Steppin Out," has been played over 41'000 times on this site. crazy cool !! I am glad to announce we are planning a visual/audio sampler later this month, that will be exclusive to our Countryproof fans here first . Thank you so very much for hanging in there with me during these last months. I am excited to be finally able to share some of the other songs with you. The EP is five songs, and includes performances with 26 top guest musical artists that have provided time, sweat and talent in helping bring the songs to life.
I recently received an email from a fan who summed up our feelings in trying to make this project the best we can, and one we are proud to share. "Thanks for creating great music that we (fans) want to play over and over again ."
This email really touched me as the songs, and this project are special to me and I hope it will be special for you .
We are in the process of designing a Web site and let you know when it is up an running. It will include, information
on the making of this CD, photos' upcoming events and other cool surprises. We are planning on making copies available for our fans first by donation, to help us cover some of the post expenses with part going to my favorite charity for children. Let us know if you are interested in getting a finished copy of the CD once available.
It would be great to hear from you , and your feedback on the songs . reading them is great and It means alot to hear from you. You can send your emails to : Kerry@(expired link) .
That's it for now and wishing you the best things .

It is your support that helps he song has continue to stay in top rankings and I hope you will continue to tell your friends and play /vote for the song. You are really helping me make this project even better . Amazing!

These emails and support has meant so much I have written another song that Joanna will be singing and many of the same musicians are already on board. We have been working
on completing the song “Waiting for the Band to Start with some new parts created by drummer Kenny Aranoff and bassist James Lomenzo both on tour with John Fogerty. We are starting principal recording on an unscheduled song “ Home town Saturday Night and I am also working with my art project art director John Wroten and trying to get the “Countryproof”site “ up and running and hope to have that very soon for you . If you have any suggestions on things you would like to see on the Web site , send ‘em my way. Yes we will be having a few T shirts
made in advance for our friends. So let us know if you would be interested in having one.

I hope all is well for you. Been a very busy two weeks here since I last got a chance to drop a line. It is very cool to see each time I log on , our supporter list growing with a few new names each day. Early this week our song "Steppin Out," held the number six spot in the Country Pop catg and number two in Country Traditional.
Because of the great support of this song and many requests to do another like it , I am writing a new unscheduled song to be added to the forthcoming "Countryproof EP. So your requesting the song, continuining to listen to it and sharing with your friends has really inspired me to do this. Thanks much :) I am hoping to have many of the same musicians (with a couple of new suprises ) and Joanna to sings this one too. It will be another rockin fiesty song with a driving rhythm and should be fun. I have been saviing a speccial list of those who have already sent an email to us , and we are putting to gether a thank you offering to be announced soon for all who take the time. I hope you will continue to play our music and send an email , as it is really great feedback and helps the music project grow even greater. We would really appreciate getting feedback from you and hope you will share our music to help us get the music out. You can contact us at Kerry@(expired link) / I am in the process of updating our Face book music page and would appreciate if you can drop by and like our page ((expired link)!/pages/Countryproof-Music/528206040531794) the best to you, Kerry

It was exciting earlier in the week to see "Steppin Out , in the top 10 in both categories of Country Pop and Tradional. It seems to have dropped a bit , so hope you will continue to request our song being played on Number One so others get to hear it.
The song features vocals of Joanna Cotton who I first heard on the live Eric Church Cd and she came on board to record the song with us. We just recently submitted a tradition styled "Countryproof," featuring vocals by Hawkshaw Hawkins Jr and Aaron Bozwell. It was written based on the lifework of Hank Williams , Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings. I hope you will check it out.
We are currently on the third song on the EP as well as some goodies for those who continue requesting our songs and supporting our music . I really thank you for taking time for listening to our songs and would like to hear your thoughts on the music. You can reach us at
Kerry@(expired link) I will try to write back as soon as time will allow. Thanks, look for exciting new things to come, best to you, Kerry

Hi,
I want to thank you for you taking the time to support our new song “Steppin Out” sung by Joanna Cotton. It is part of a 4 song EP “Countryproof,” that we hope to have completed by the end of April.
Countryproof to me as a writer is all about kinship . Musicians singing, playing and sharing talents together on songs. This was the goal of the EP, to work with people we admire, and friends we have known musically , all coming together, for the best for each song.
We need you , and it would mean a lot to us ,to help us get the word out by going to our Reverbnation page and becoming a fan
