NASHVILLE, TN (March 11, 2014) – Joplin’s own Country Rock band LiveWire is scheduled to perform in concert and film scenes for the group’s up-coming music video this Saturday night, March 15, at the Steel Rooster, 2110 East Fairview, Carthage, Mo. 64836. Tickets are $10. in advance and can be purchased at the club or by calling (417) 358-4401. Tickets are $15. at the door on show day. Doors open at 7:00 PM and the show starts at 10:00 PM. This will be a 21+ age event.
LiveWire has recently wrapped studio recordings for its forthcoming radio single, “Drivin’ You Outta My Mind,” and scenes from the Steel Rooster concert will be included in the music video and related promotions for the song, slated for release in early spring.
Saturday’s show at the Steel Rooster will be the third time that LiveWire and its label, Way Out West Records, have enticed Nashville-based directors to come to Southwest Missouri to film the band’s videos. In 2011, much of the footage for the group’s breakthrough song, “Tater Fed,” was shot just outside of Carthage. That same year, LiveWire filmed performance scenes for its benefit video “Miracle Of The Human Spirit” in what remained of the basement of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Joplin following the deadly EF-5 tornado there.
The Southwest Missouri-based band, which proudly calls Joplin its home base, has achieved national radio and video airplay in the past three years for their songs including the aforementioned “Tater Fed” and “Miracle Of The Human Spirit,” along with “Gone,” “Lies,” and “Whiskey Sunday,” the latter of which earned LiveWire a nomination for “New Duo/Band/Group of the Year” at the Texas Regional Radio Music Awards (TRRMA). Winners will be announced in ceremonies to be held on Saturday, March 29th at the Choctaw Casino in Durant, Oklahoma.
LiveWire features lead singer/acoustic guitarist Andy Eutsler; lead guitarist/harmony vocalist Bobby DeGonia; fiddle/harmony vocalist Cory Shultz, and drummer Brad Allen. They are joined onstage and in the studio by bassist Paul Carabello and pedal steel guitar player Scott Kwapiszeski.
ABOUT LIVEWIRE:
Edgy, honest and passionate, LiveWire’s unique sound blends elements of working man’s Country and rootsy Southern Rock. The band’s music has found success at Country radio, both in the U.S. and in Europe, and its videos have received airplay on CMT Pure, ZUUS Country, The Nashville Network and Yallwire. Major media outlets including Billboard, the Texas Music Chart, Maverick and MusicRow magazine have all touted LiveWire’s talents. Since forming in the mid-’90s, the group’s reputation as a top-shelf live act has been honed by years of opening for, and performing on the same bill with, Toby Keith, LeAnn Rimes, Mark Chesnutt, Kix Brooks and Texas/Red Dirt artists Casey Donahew Band, Kyle Park and Bo Phillips, among many others. The sextet has performed across America and on the hallowed stage of The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville as national finalists in the 2009 Colgate Country Showdown. LiveWire released a self-titled EP in 2011 which included its debut radio hit single, “Tater Fed.” After signing with Way Out West Records, LiveWire released a video for “Tater Fed” and a single and video of “Miracle Of The Human Spirit,” which benefited the group’s storm-ravaged hometown of Joplin, Mo., struck by an EF-5 tornado in the spring of 2011. LiveWire released its debut album LIVIN’ on Way Out West in late 2012. The critically-acclaimed album produced the singles “Lies” and “Whiskey Sunday.” For more information about LiveWire visit their website at: www.livewirecountry.com.
