American Idol Finalist Will Appear at Restaurants Across America
LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Texas Roadhouse is proud to partner with Nashville recording artist Ayla
Brown. The six-foot-tall, former American Idol finalist and
starter for the Boston College women's basketball team is the newest
member of the Texas Roadhouse family. Brown's upbeat patriotic song,
"Pride of America," co-written by Brown, Charlie Hutto and Courtney
Dashe, will be featured on every Texas Roadhouse jukebox across America.
Throughout the year, guests will have the chance to meet Brown at free
meet and greet events at the restaurant.
"Texas Roadhouse has a long history of supporting rising country music
artists," said Travis Doster, Senior Director of Public Relations. "A
lot of Ayla's music promotes the U.S. military, which aligns perfectly
with the Texas Roadhouse tradition of supporting those who protect our
country."
While only 25-years-old, Brown has a long list of accomplishments
including recording multiple albums, national and local performances,
involvement with charitable causes, and serving as a national news
correspondent for The Early Show on CBS.
In 2012, Ayla released a self-titled country music album from her record
company, Ambient Entertainment. Her first single release,
"Goodbye for Good," stayed strong at #1 on CDBaby.com's Country Rock,
Country Pop, and Overall Country charts. Ayla produced the album, and
she also co-wrote seven out of the nine tracks on the CD. During the
summer of 2012, Ayla's self-titled CD charted on Billboard in
the Northeast of the United States.
In November of 2012, Ayla released her country patriotic-inspired album
titled, Heroes and Hometowns. All songs were recorded at CURB
Studios in Nashville, TN, and a portion of every CD sale benefits a
military non-profit based out of Massachusetts called Hugs for
Heroes, Inc. On Memorial Day weekend, Ayla debuted at the Grand Ole
Opry in Nashville, TN and performed her single, "Pride of America,' and
"Hero in Her Hometown." She also invited nineteen female soldiers from
Ft. Campbell up on stage to be recognized for their service.
