Chely Wright News
Lynn, Spacek
Surprise Chely at Show
Chely Wright got the surprise of her life when Loretta Lynn walked onto the
stage of Nashville's Wildhorse Saloon Tuesday night (June 11) to serenadeher
with "Coal Miner's Daughter." By the middle of the song, Wright had composed
herself -- until actress Sissy Spacek, who won an Academy Award for
portraying Lynn in the 1980 film Coal Miner's Daughter, strolled on stage as
well. Amid delighted screams from the audience, the three women wrapped
their arms around each other and finished the classic song together. Wright,
who was performing to raise money for her Reading, Writing & Rhythm charity,
breathlessly declared,
"I can die now. I can
absolutely die."
Lynn went on to compliment Wright's song "Jezebel," saying that its style
fits the songs she has written and recorded herself. 06/12/02
Wright Raised $100K for Music Ed
Chely Wright's second annual benefit for her Reading, Writing & Rhythm
Foundation raised over $100,000. The money supports public school music
education. Gary Allan, Steve Azar, Diamond Rio, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Tommy
Shane Steiner, Cyndi Thomson and keith urban all performed during the
Tuesday night (June 11) concert at Nashville's Wildhorse Saloon. In an
auction, a Wright-guided tour of the Country Music Hall of Fame fetched
$4,200. Roundtrip airfare to Nashville and dinner with Wright brought
$7,200. 06/12/02

Hey everyone!
A Friday To Remember!
Yesterday was a
fabulous Friday for Stacey Kostes and her fans!!
Stacey's television appearance yesterday went extremely well. She sang two
songs from her album,
It's A Girl Thing,
backed by her husband/producer, Bob Angello, and the morning show studio
band. They had a great time and Stacey remarked that it was a very relaxing
environment for her TV debut!!
Then came her appearance on
WSM AM 650
last night. I hope many of you were able to tune in for the fun!! It was an
amazing show!! Stacey was on from the beginning of the Opry Star Spotlight
around 9:30pm until 1:00 am!! Her publicist, Rhonda Clark, joined her in the
studio and DJ Matthew Gillian couldn't say enough about the work Rhonda has
done. He teased that Rhonda calls him at the studio in the middle of the
night just to talk to him about Stacey! Rhonda's persistence has definitely
paid off because Matthew could not stop commenting about Stacey's amazing
vocal talents and even suggested that
Stacey would be perfect ON THE OPRY STAGE!! Wouldn't that be incredible!?!
During the three and a half hours that Stacey was on the show she chatted
with Matthew about everything from fishing (thanks to husband Bob who was in
the studio with her!) to her hometown near Chicago to her career and the
dedication of her fans. Every time Stacey sang or he played a song from It's
A Girl Thing, Matthew gushed about her talent. He encouraged other Nashville
DJs to get a copy of the CD and to start playing it!
These shows really got me pumped up to see Stacey next week in Nashville!!!
I hope many of you will be able to make it to the show because seeing Stacey
perform live is something you will not soon forget!!
KEEP BELIEVING,
Tami Olin
