Pontoon Boat (edited version)

If there has ever been a way to describe Sunny Ledfurd, it has got to be his ability to defy categorization. Born in Chattanooga TN and growing up in Gaston County NC, he taught himself guitar at age 15. He knew then that playing the guitar was how he would make a living. Inspired by Guns n Roses, Snoop Dog & David Allan Coe among many, Sunny’s songs continually mix genres and push the envelope. “I’ve always liked artists that you can tell they have something to say. They’re not just singing some words ’cause it sounds cool.” Never one to shy away from a good time… drinking and women are involved in much of the music. With songs like ‘I Don’t Remember Last Night’, ‘Pontoon Boat’, ‘Adderral’, and ‘Myrtle Beach’, Sunny takes you through life in the south as he sees it and lives it.

With 6 self produced / self released (Ledfurd Recurds) albums since 2003 Sunny has plenty to tell and shows no signs of slowing down.

Come party with him.

CURTIS AND LUCKEY “EYE CANDY” SWEET FOR THE FEET WITH CHILI CHICKS DANCE VIDEO

NASHVILLE–The Curtis and Luckey single “Eye Candy” is proving to be as sweet for the feet as it is for radio. The award winning dance troup, the Chili Chicks, have choosen the song and created and distributed an instructional video to country dance clubs nationwide. The Chili Chicks, known as America’s Country Dance Team, are two time country dance world champions and Gold Medal Olympiads.

In a statement explaining why they chose this tune to create a dance, they said “Eye Candy is a song that makes you glad you listen to country music. With amazing harmonies, lyrics that paint a picture so clear you can see it, and a beat that’ll make you run to the dance floor. Curtis & Luckey have created a sexy, fun and upbeat tune. Eye Candy is that rare song that pulls you in and makes you feel like you’re partying with your best friend.”

“After only three weeks in country dance clubs, ‘Eye Candy” has really got dancers moving on the dance floor. From the large venues to mom and pop saloons, people are two steppin’ and tush pushin’ to “Eye Candy.” Many dance instructors have added the Chili Chicks’ custom line dance to their weekly
teaching schedule as well,” added Bobbe Morhiser, Manager of Venue Marketing at Marco Club Connection.

The single is also currently impacting radio as Curtis and Luckey, a KMG Music Group duo, are in the middle of a successful West Coast tour.

About Curtis and Luckey

Brian Curtis lead vocalist and founder of the group, sought out Nashville after travelling around the world from his native California. After earning his degree in International Business from the University of California, Irvine, Brian ventured abroad and soon found himself singing lead for a country cover band in Japan while teaching English during the days. Japan was followed by a year in Italy – it was there that Brian began consistently songwriting, and signs started pointing toward Music City as his next stop. Brian packed up and officially made the move to Nashville. After arriving, he was quickly entrenched in the songwriting and demo session community.

Luckey was raised in Nashville and he has been surrounded by music his entire life. Honing his songwriting craft throughout his teenage years, Eric saw his first hold as a songwriter at 19 years old with a song titled Mad at the Ocean.. After studying guitar at MTSU, he left Nashville with guitar in tow and spent a couple years as a hunting guide in Colorado and commercial fisherman in Alabama, only to find his way back home. A few cover bands and hundreds of shows later, he met Brian. Their synchronicity in writing quickly led them to the stage. He has a strong and present bass / baritone range. During a performance you may see on electric or rhythm guitar, or singing harmonies, hitting a dual lead with Curtis.

During a performance you may see on electric or rhythm guitar, or singing harmonies, hitting a dual lead with Curtis, or grabbing center mic and keeping true to his roots with a dirty country up-tempo.

Another strong component to Curtis and Luckey’s unique sound is found in their third co-writer of many of their songs, Sean Rhem, who carries electric guitar and background vocals on stage.

Original songs, strong vocals and energy to spare, Curtis and Luckey are the new kids in town who are already making their mark.

Marco Club Connection Names Top Ten Country Dance Club Hits for 2010

Posted by clubconneciton On January - 11 - 2011

(Nashville, Tenn. – Jan. 11, 2011) Marco Club Connection, a Nashville-based Country music dance venue marketing company, has released its seventh annual Top Ten list of the year’s most requested Country dance club songs.

Each year in December, Club Connection surveys a panel of more than 240 club owners, DJs and dance instructors from across the country to compile its Top Ten rankings.

“As Country music continues to incorporate more and more of a Pop element, the dance clubs can be a very important tool in breaking an artist,” says Club Connection Venue Marketing Specialist Bobbe Morhiser. “Look no further than Laura Bell Bundy for proof of that. ‘Giddy On Up’ was huge in the dance clubs, and for a brand new artist to place in Club Connection’s top five at the end of the year is very impressive.”

The results of the 2010 Top Ten Country Dance Club Hits are:

1. “Stuck Like Glue” – Sugarland
2. “All About Tonight” – Blake Shelton
3. “Hillbilly Bone” – Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins
4. “Need You Now” – Lady Antebellum
5. “Giddy On Up” – Laura Bell Bundy
6. “Country Done Come To Town” – John Rich
7. “Roll With It” – Easton Corbin
8. “Why Don’t We Just Dance” – Josh Turner
9. “Turn On The Radio” – Reba
10. “Pretty Good At Drinkin’ Beer” – Billy Currington

“All of the songs on Club Connection’s Top Ten list have been in heavy rotation at Wild Bills for most of the year,” says Dwight Philpott, one of the DJs at Wild Bills in Atlanta, Ga. “We play these songs every single night, because these are the ones that always pack our dance floor.”

Songs to top the list in previous years include Zac Brown Band’s “Toes” (2009), Alan Jackson’s “Good Time” (2008), Josh Turner’s “Firecracker” (2007), Steve Holy’s “Brand New Girlfriend” (2006), Trace Adkins’ “Honkytonk Badonkadonk” (2005) and Big & Rich’s “Save a Horse (Ride A Cowboy)” (2004).
