ORLANDO, Fla., June 22, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- TS&B Holdings, Inc. ("Company" or "TS&B") (OTCBB:TSBB) shareholder update from Glenn Cummings recent appearance at CMA Music Festival (Fan Fair) in Nashville June 10th to 12th.
Glenn Cummings proved at this year's CMA Music Festival he has what it takes to be a star. From interviews with radio and print publications, to signing autographs for fans, to debuting his single "Big" on a mobile jumbotron on Commerce St. next to the Nashville Convention Center, Glenn covered his bases!
Glenn signed autographs at the Country Music Today Magazine booth and at the booth for Y'all--The Magazine for Southern People, where, in total, he signed over 1,200 pictures. Glenn had such a long line at the Y'all booth on Wednesday and Thursday the magazine representatives asked him to come back Friday to spend as much time as he wanted signing and posing for pictures with fans.
"It was shocking! Here's a guy who had not released his first song to radio yet; nobody knew who he was. Yet his mystique, personality, charisma, (and stature) intrigued Country music fans enough for them to stand in line for over an hour just for the opportunity to meet this future star," commented Keith Sisson, Vice-President for Y'all Magazine.
In addition to meeting with fans, Glenn took part in an acoustic jam at Joe's Crab Shack to benefit the Vernon Manor Children's Home. Since Glenn's appearance at CMA Music Festival the hits to his website: (www.gccountry.com) have tripled daily. Glenn's debut single, "Big", will now be on radio on July 15 and look for his album, by the same title, in stores this Fall.
Also, Cheryl Harvey-Hill of ABC Radio Coast-to-Coast and CountryStarsOnline.com interviewed Glenn and wrote a great article. Shareholders and readers are invited to visit: (http://www.countrystarsonline.com/FanFairFeatures/GlennCummings.htm).
