The 9513 T-shirts Have Arrived And Leah Durelle Is Added To The iPod Shuffle Contest
We’ve got a few exciting things to report today. First up, we got a shipment of The 9513 t-shirts in from the printer that we’ll post in the shop sometime in the next few days. The t-shirts look great and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We decided to go with Mammoth Printshop for the printing, while we’ve never worked with them before I’ve seen them get some major props from other designers which sold us. They’re printed on 100% cotton American Apparel and extremely comfortable (you can see a picture of the shirt below). Let us know what you think.
We’re so excited about them that we’ve revised the iPod Shuffle contest to give the winner a free shirt…along with two other readers/commenters. If you want to enter, you better hurry, there’s only 6 days left before the winners are announced.
While we’re on the subject of the iPod Contest, we’ve added a new artist:
Leah Durelle - Nine Days In Nashville
Leah Durelle. Leah is another up and comer who got a hold of us through MySpace. At only 15 her voice is well beyond her age. It’s probably a little cliched to compare her to LeAnn Rimes, but it’s so hard not to, afterall Leah lists LeAnn as one of her influences. On the album Leah tackles a Hank Williams classic, “Long Gone Lonesome Blues”, and we actually like it, that’s how talented this girl is. We’ll be doing a more in depth review of her album as time permits, but in the mean time check out some of her music on MySpace.
And finally, we received our tickets to the Last Of The Breed concert being held at The Backyard on March 17. We’ll also be giving two of those away sometime next month, so keep your eyes open for that. Although we’re not a record label, this is our way of showing that we practice what we preach.

Forgotten Artists: Cal Smith - When the Florida Sunshine Opry (Eustis, FL) booked its first “name” (non-local) act back in 1999, the act they chose was Cal Smith. No wonder, since Cal is an excellent singer, musician, storyteller and showman. | View more artists featured in Paul W. Dennis' recurring "Forgotten Artists" feature »

In an attempt to discover and highlight the best music every month, We'll be publishing a list of the best songs released throughout that period. Here's Brady Vercher's picks for October.
For the second episode of The 9513 Country Music Podcast, your host Kelly Dearmore caught up with two seemingly different artists in Sarah Borges and Trent Willmon. Take a listen.
Free Music Downloads: If you’ve only recently come to country music, or have never delved past the genre’s surface and it’s most famous names, you may not have heard of Tom Russell. That’s a shame, and The 9513’s Free Music series is here to help set you down the right path.
Martina McBride - “Ride” Catchy, but a little low on cogency–not to mention originality. And it essentially resolves into the same kind of positive “message song” that has defined so much of McBride’s recent work.
Richie McDonald - “How Do I Just Stop” So gloriously simple and unequivocally lackluster that people of every political persuasion should rejoice in the opportunity to come together and have a hearty laugh at its expense.
Donnie Vondra - “If I Didn’t Love You” Combinining a golden trifecta of country music—steel guitar, fiddle and a strong, twangy vocal—"If I Didn't Love You" pulls together a sweet, toe-tapping ditty reminiscent of Marty Raybon-era Shenandoah.
Lance Miller - “Bacon Frying” A charming country song that is beautiful for its simplicity, a musical remnant from a time when songwriters understood that often the best thing to do is just get out of the song’s way.
John Rich - “Another You” For a guy who is supposed to be a genius songwriter, John Rich sure does seem to be running out of ideas.
George Ducas - “Walk Through This World” Ducas banks on the success of recent artists’ pleasantly bland lyrics and agreeable instrumentation for his first release with WhiteStar Nashville.
In this exclusive interview for The 9513, Little Big Town’s Jimi Westbrook talks about life with the band, as well as A Place to Land, the group’s current album, which has charted in the top 10 of Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart on two separate occasions

If we could find some way to monetize our efforts this would only be the tip of the ice berg :P As it is right now it’s just a hobby we enjoy doing.

The shirts your offering are amazing! It’s great to see how modern technology is being employed not only to make contests more cool (like giving away a free ipod shuffle) but also to design really amazing products! You all rock!
