COUNTRY ARTIST KEVIN FOWLER
TO PLAY ARENA CONCERT
AT THIS YEAR’S STAR OF TEXAS FAIR & RODEO

2nd Single from BRING IT ON Hits #1;
Music Video Shot in Nashville Area
 
AUSTIN, Texas — Recording artist Kevin Fowler, whose “Best Mistake I Ever Made,” the second single from his latest album, BRING IT ON (Equity Music Group; September 2007), has hit #1 on The Texas Music Chart, is to play the last arena concert of this year’s Star of Texas Fair & Rodeo.

Fowler plays at 9 p.m. Saturday, March 15, at the Travis County Expo Center, 7311 Decker Lane outside Austin. Tickets are $15 to $35; information: 512.919.3000. Complete musical lineups, events, schedules and more are available at www.rodeoaustin.com.

Last month, Fowler — who told The Dallas Morning News in December, “I want to be about fans” — was in Watertown, Tenn., near Nashville, to shoot the music video for “Best Mistake I Ever Made,” a tender Everyman’s love song to the wife he married hastily but truly adores, just as the song was released to radio.

The first single from BRING IT ON, the clever family lament “Long Line of Losers,” rocketed to the top of The Texas Music Chart in September, in a record six weeks, and was holding the #1 spot at the end of the year. It has been played by “Fowler fanatics” close to a quarter-million times at www.myspace.com/kevinfowler.
 
While the album features the country style fans have loved through Fowler’s six-album career — with songs like his duet with George Jones, “Me and the Boys” — there’s more to it: elemental rock reminiscent of his early days in metal and Southern rock bands. One writer calls the combination a melding of “Metallica to Merle Haggard.”

“I’m not really a mainstream artist,” Fowler also The Dallas Morning News. “I am what I am. ... I feel very lucky every day. I’m so happy to have what we have down here. … I’ve made it. I’m writing my own songs. There’s nobody telling me what to do. I have fans, and I’m making a living. I’m good.”

Fowler has already embarked on an extensive tour schedule, as is his habit, that continues hot and heavy through summer 2008, including shows in all parts of Texas.

Interview times are available as well as press kits and review CDs.
