GUEST: COUNTRY NEWCOMER ADAM RUTLEDGE PLUS RICHIE'S "BRO COUNTRY SONG"

Adam Rutledge is a dynamic country newcomer managed by superstar songwriter/performer Phil Vassar.  I was lucky to get a quick chat with him.  (Apologies in advance for the slightly irritating hiccups, pops and clicks due to a less than optimum phone connection.  If I had my way, I would have called him and done it again, but didn't want to push my luck.  I was happy to have the chance to talk to him)   We discuss his debut album RUNWAY, his first single "Love Kickin' In", his interesting Phil Vassar connection, and we will check the accuracy of info posted on the interwebs about him (some turned out to be true - and some?  WOW! WAYYYY of base.)   I am also chomping at the bit to speak with Phil himself.  He has agreed to come on, and will let you know definitely when that happens!   You can find RUNWAY on iTunes and Spotify.  His website is Adamrutledge.com SHAMELESS PLUG DEPT: I am doing a Country Piano Bar nite at a cool little venue:  the  EDEN CAFE, 269 Osbourne Rd, LOUDONVILLE, NY on Fri July 20th.  Will be singing some old, some new tunes  and some original novelty ditties  as well as brushes with  country artists from my WGNA radio days. So it's a nite of singin', playin' and name droppin'.  I hope you'll join me!  Special guest musicians and pals Jennifer Goodwin and Paul Byrd will join me as well! Starts at 7:30PM (dinner menu and drinks available)  You can get tickets here https://www.eventbrite.com/e/brushes-with-country-fame-with-piano-man-rhymin-richie-phillips-tickets-45972760765?aff=ebdssbdestsearch     PLANNING A WEDDING?
