As you can see from this clip, millions of Letterman viewers got to see what many of our spies in the U.S. Northwest and the Nashville music scenes have been knowing for nearly a year.  TIM MONTANA is the real deal with his own refreshing sound and brand that speaks to a new generation of country music listeners that don’t judge musicians on appearances and rejects phony theatrics.  If you think we are biased in our reporting… you are correct.  Perhaps more amazing, is he pulled this nation-wide TV performance off without any major record label arm-twisting, fluff-crap or a mega marketing budget.

As Beverly Keel, the Tennessean’s celebrity columnist put it, “This is a huge opportunity for any artist, much less one with out a major label deal.”

Our spies tell us TIM hopes to have a new record completed by June 2009.

 

Spies last night reported seeing cigar-puffing KID ROCK (of Waffle House fame) and SHERYL CROW (of Obama liberal “Rock The Vote” fame) at the LEWIS COPELAND show Saturday night (10/18). They were spotted at The Stage on Broadway in Nashville’s honky tonk district. Mostly KID ROCK and SHERYL kept to their friends in a private section of the club. However, towards the end of the night, KID ROCK and LEWIS performed a medley of popular KID ROCK songs that had the packed club rockin’!!!

Our spies caught up with TRENT TOMLISON out ‘tonking on Lower Broadway late tonight  Oct. 13 around midnight.  He was spotted at both The Wheel and The Stage on Broadway enjoying the compay of friends.  He also hear he has a new single going to radio soon.

JOHN RICH and his super-size ego where out cohorting as well.  Luckly TRENT wasn’t in the compay of JOHN or his ego.

Tim Montana at Home


A spy reported seeing ruff-and-tumble grunge-country music artist TIM MONTANA mingling with DAVID LETTERMAN back in July.Well guess what?… well placed spies confirm that TIM is slated to perform his Midwest anthem ”Butte America” for DAVE’s TV audience on Friday, Oct. 17, 2008.
This is one fucking talented newcomer to keep your eyes and ears on!  Check back for reviews after the TV performance.

There are a lot of talented young artists like TAYLOR SWIFT and CARRIE UNDERWOOD that seem to have it so easy.  In stark contrast it’s refreshing to see a 23 year old man, who grew up without electricity and the ordinary comforts of home, break into the music biz without the help of American Idol,  mega bucks and payola from major labels.  I suppose this proves that talent, hard work, and determination still works!!!  Keep the awesome music coming.  FIGHT THE POWER TIM!

What do we think of Tim’s “Butte America”?[audio:http://www.nashvillespy.com/wp-content/audio/ButteAmerica.mp3]

What is on JOHN’s jacket?

Tanya Tucker Terrible's Lakeside Casino - Osceola, Iowa

For a several weeks now, we have been hearing unconfirmed reports from spies that Country Music Royalty TANYA TUCKER was the victim of a serious medical mishap that occurred at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville. We have also been told by spies on the West Coast that TANYA chose to get the hell out of Vanderbilt Medical Center and recover in California where she also has a home. IF THIS IS TRUE, GET WELL SOON TANYA… WE NEED YOU BACK HERE IN NASHVILLE MAKING GOOD MUSIC!

Jessica Simpson at The Stage on Broadway

Thank goodness JESSICA’s record is falling off Billboard’s top 50 Country Albums Chart!!! Sony BMG… what were you thinking??? Hopefully this terrible album will be enough to send her packing back to Hollywood. However, our spies caught up with her honky-tonkin’ at The Stage on Broadway last night in Nashville. Judging from her face in this picture, perhaps country music and tonkin’ isn’t much her thing.

Our spies confirmed that as of about 30 mins. ago (8/18/08 – 10:50pm) JESSICA SIMPSON, KID ROCK, and band members for the rock group HINDER are hangin’ out upstairs in a reserved section at The Stage On Broadway, in Nashville. The entourage walked in right through the front door. Our spies are working on getting pictures. Stay tuned….
