ABOUT BIG SMO:
What would happen if Kid Rock and Run D.M.C. had a love child together? As one publication stated, “he would be named Big Smo.” Garnering over twelve million views on YouTube, multi-talented artist BIG SMO, A.K.A. “Boss of the Stix,” self-released his debut album Kuntry Kitchen in 2002. With this release, named after the historical general store on his 32-acre farm, “The Kuntry Ranch,” complete with heads of cattle and fish-filled ponds, he was well on his way to becoming a local independent force. A few years later, Big Smo released The True South, a crossover album blending his street experience with his backwoods southern roots. In 2010, he released his third studio album, American Made, which featured the viral YouTube hit, “Kickin’ It In Tennessee.” With an extensive grass roots campaign and an overwhelmingly positive response on YouTube, he caught the attention of Warner Music Nashville and was signed shortly thereafter. In 2012, Big Smo played at the Country Music Festival and BamaJam and also joined hot country newcomer Brantley Gilbert on tour.

GEORGE JONES FUNERAL SERVICE TO BE OPEN TO PUBLIC
By My Country Space|
Nashville, Tenn. (April 28, 2013)
– George Jones’ funeral will take place on Thursday,
May 2nd at The Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville,
Tennessee, starting at 10 am and will be open to the
public.
"George would have wanted his fans and friends everywhere to be able to come and pay their respects along with his family," said publicist Kirt Webster. "Thanks to George’s friends, fans, and loved ones for the outpouring of love at this terrible time," said Nancy Jones. "I love you all." A private visitation for family, friends, and fellow performers will take place on Wednesday evening. Since this is private, please call 615-777-6995 x230 for time and location. “The Voice” of Country Music fell silent with the passing of the iconic legend, George Jones in Nashville at the age of 81. Long recognized as country music’s most indescribable voice by not only the fans, but critics in all genres, the music world continues to mourn the loss of its’ finest stylist, who was considered the greatest living country singer. A member of the Grand Ole Opry since 1956, George Jones achieved perhaps his greatest personal honor when he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1992. More than 35 years ago, as noted in his discography, George Jones recorded “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes?”, a song that posed the question of whether music newcomers would come along that could possibly walk in the steps of the progenitors and giants of country music. In light of the loss of this legendary voice, the question has never seemed more poignant. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that contributions be made to the Grand Ole Opry trust fund:
Opry Trust Fund
2804 Opryland Drive
Nashville, Tennessee
37214 or to the Country Music Hall of Fame®
