TYLER — The 2014 Tyler Cattle Barons’ Gala Committee has announced that Joe Nichols is the headline entertainer for the 27th annual event. “The artist performing at this year’s gala has had several exciting things happen in the past few months,” said Brian Merritt, co-chairman of this year’s event. Joe’s #1 hit “Sunny and 75” has been certified GOLD by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for single sales in excess of 500,000 digital downloads. The song is the lead single from his debut RED BOW CD release Crickets.
“Sunny and 75” hit the #1 spot on both the Billboard Hot Country Songs and the Country Aircheck / USA Today charts in early December. The song is the four time Grammy nominee’s fifth #1 single. “Yeah,” the second single from Crickets, will hit radio on Jan. 27, 2014.
The 2014 Tyler Cattle Barons’ Gala will be held June 14 at the Rio Neches Ranch, the home of Harry and Dawn Leatherwood. Tanya and Brian Merritt and Melissa and Jason Braswell are chairing the event. The 2014 Tyler Cattle Baron’s Gala is the principle fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, Tyler.
