Nashville, Tenn Excitement is in the air as Jim Sheldon, known as

The Positive Cowboy on The Music City Show, prepares for Season 4 coming this spring to millions of television screens across the country.

Jim’s Positive Cowboy character on the show is a perfect match for his personal life. What you see on the show with the Positive Cowboy is an exact duplicate of what you get when you spend time with Jim off the set. Jim loves those great hymns that the Positive Cowboy sings on the show, so it’s only natural that he puts his heart and soul into every song he sings.

Awesome Players and Awesome Tracks!!

Sheldon will be heading back into the studio at the end of February  to complete the Season 4 Hymns project.

Jim Sheldon commented, “The music and arrangements on each

The Positive Cowboy, Jim Sheldon

project just get better each time it seems. We love them all but, we have really enjoyed working on this project, it has a variety of songs and arrangements.  We hope the listening audience will enjoy this  as much as we are.”

The Positive Cowboy will be releasing  Vol 2 for Season 3  of the Music City Hymns Projects at the end of February. Be looking for it or you can order it on line www.themusiccityshow.com .

Debut for the Jim Brady Trio this Thursday, including a national television appearance on the Music City Show

Jim Brady Trio

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Dec. 30, 2014) – January 1, 2015 will be a day of multiple firsts for the Jim Brady Trio as the group will be performing its first official concert at Legacy Five’s New Year’s Eve Celebration that morning and will then make its national television debut on the Music City Show that evening.

Brady has spent the last 12 years as the baritone singer of the award-winning Booth Brothers, but he will now be singing with his wife Melissa and former Legacy Five pianist Tim Parton. The Jim Brady Trio debuts at the final session of the NYE Celebration, at 10 a.m. at Nashville’s Gaylord Opryland Hotel. Paul Lancaster is joining the Booth Brothers, and he will make his debut with the group on Wednesday evening at the NYE Celebration.

“We’re very excited to launch a new chapter in our lives as the Jim Brady Trio kicks off the year in style with a visit to the Music City Show and our first concert with our friends at Legacy Five’s annual New Year’s Celebration,” shares Brady.

The Music City Show airs on RFD-TV on Thursday at 8 p.m. (EST)/7 p.m. (CST).

“It is certainly a privilege for the Music City Show to have the Jim Brady Trio for the group’s national television debut,” says Music City Show producer Scott Godsey. “Jim, Melissa and Tim are not only top-notch performers, but they are also first-class individuals. We are excited for our audience to finally hear what all the buzz is about.”
A sneak peek of the Jim Brady Trio’s appearance on the Music City Show can be seen by visiting http://youtu.be/ailAd4kgyjQ.

Great News For RFD-TV And The Music City Show

RFD TV

Nashville, TN – A larger share of the viewing audience is always great news for a television network and spectacular news for a television program. RFD-TV has announced the merger with AT&T U-Verse for distribution of their programming. This takes RFD-TV to a new level of viewership and skyrockets ‘The Music City Show’ to a host of new homes to see the value and entertainment of Gospel music.

RFD-TV’s Patrick Gottsch stated “This is one of the proudest moments in the history of RFD-TV. Today, I am so pleased to announce to you first that AT&T U-Verse has launched RFD-TV as a basic channel on their 200 package which adds over 5.4 million homes to our distribution, taking RFD-TV past the 46 million barrier. RFD-TV is now on channel 568 on U-Verse. FamilyNet continues to be on channel 566. RFD HD will be launched by U-Verse as soon as space can be cleared, but no later than the end of this year.”

This is a major accomplishment is this day and age with the challenges of mergers, limited bandwidth, and independent channels being dropped by cable systems all around the country. More than anything else, this is a tribute to RFD-TV’s programmers and programming which combined with the passion of our audience for rural, family-oriented programming has proven to be an unbeatable force capable of doing the “impossible”.

Programming like ‘The Music City Show’ are prime examples of how clean family and even Christian music entertainment is more attractive now than ever to mainstream television. Scott Godsey, ‘The Music City Show’ producer commented “We are proud to be a part of the RFD-TV network and are so grateful to them for allowing Gospel music to be a vital part of their programming.”

No other channel gets so much support from its audience. To have over 57,000 of the 75,000 public comments to the FCC in the Comcast/Time Warner merger, and to date over 95% of the AT&T/DIRECTV public comments to the FCC about the importance of rural programming is making the strongest possible statement at this most critical time. The national press that RFD-TV has been receiving because of these public comments is having such a positive effect on our unique, grassroots situation.

Patrick Gottsch continued “I also want to thank the executives at AT&T and U-Verse. Unlike Comcast, since the review hearings at both the House & Senate, AT&T has sincerely worked hard to first understand the concerns of rural America, and take those concerns seriously. AT&T did so in a most expeditious manner. To go from our first meetings just a few months ago to an actual launch today is a real testament to AT&T’s commitment of being a partner with RFD-TV to better serve the needs and interests of rural America.”

This is a huge step forward, but only a step. We still have a lot of work to do. However, I firmly believe that this announcement with AT&T U-Verse will help our efforts to get RFD-TV’s distribution expanded and secured with the other carriers throughout this great nation.

RFD-TV will continue to keep all updated as news develops on the mergers. But, in the meantime, please be sure to tell your friends and neighbors that RFD-TV is now on AT&T U-Verse channel 568.
