SUNNYD PRESENTS THE SHINE ALL NIGHT TOUR STARRING MARTINA MCBRIDE AND TRACE ADKINS

The Beverage Company’s First Endeavor into Music Delivers a Unique Pairing to Celebrate the Spirit of America

Nashville, Tenn. (October 5, 2009) – He’s a tall drink of water and she’s one hot mama. His rich baritone voice can bring the house down while her soaring unparalleled vocals lift the roof off.  He’s garnered legions and fans with his anthems that inspire and champion America’s heroes and she’s made a name world-wide as a premiere female vocalist with hits that entertain, raise awareness and deliver hope.

Together, country music superstars Martina McBride and Trace Adkins have created an exceptional evening flavored with boisterous revelry, sexy romance and honest reflection.  With their countless hits and fan favorites combined, fans will be dancing in the aisles to “God Fearing Women” and “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk,” fist waving to the likes of “This One’s For the Girl’s” and “Songs About Me,” holding on tight with “I Just Call You Mine” and “Arlington” and remembering what matters most with “In My Daughter’s Eyes” and “You’re Gonna Miss This.”

Add heartbreak with “Every Light in the House” and “Wrong Again,” a touch of vengeance with “Independence Day” and “Fightin’ Words” and this first-of-a kind event covers the gamut of emotional release.

The Shine All Night Tour, also sponsored in part by GAC, kicks off November 20^th and covers 40 cities across the U.S through the spring of 2010.  Both McBride and Adkins, who is also sponsored by BC Powder, will each perform  full-length shows. In a few select cities, Blake Shelton will be joining McBride ensuring that every night will be packed with great music and fun times -- both on stage and in the audience.

“I want fans to leave here knowing they got more than their moneys worth,” says Martina. “My goal is to have this on their list of memorable nights for years to come.”

SunnyD’s sponsorship of Martina McBride's Shine All Night Tour represents SunnyD’s first music partnership.  The concert tour is a fun way to connect with SunnyD's consumers and Martina's fans who share an optimistic and youthful spirit. SunnyD’s involvement includes sampling vans, Martina’s appearance in SunnyD television advertising, and a contest in which the winner will be able to sing on stage with Martina.

"SunnyD is delighted to be partnering with Martina McBride and the Shine All Night Tour.  SunnyD and Martina share many attributes. Both are family-oriented, spirited, enduring, value their fans, and inspire families to shine,” said Mark Ozimek, Assistant Brand Manager for SunnyD.  “Martina’s music is all about optimism.  And since 1964, SunnyD has been brightening the flavor and spirit of America.”

Martina McBride and Trace Adkins are really going all out to promote this tour.

About Trace Adkins
Since TRACE ADKINS broke onto the country music scene more than a decade ago, he has become an undeniable musical force and has evolved into a bona fide country music superstar.

An esteemed member of the Grand Ole Opry since 2003, Adkins has built a strong legion of fans by recording songs that possess insightful lyrics and cover a wide range of interests--many from his own life experiences. With his unmistakable basement-deep voice, he has had twenty-seven charted hit singles, 14 of which broke Billboard’s Top 10. His albums have achieved gold or multi-platinum certification and three have made their debut at #1.

In 2008, Adkins received a string of nominations from multiple music award shows including CMT, the CMA's, and the Grammy's for his beautiful ballad “You’re Gonna Miss This.”  That same year he also picked up the ACM Single of the Year Award for the chart-topping song. Adkins gained a new fan base when he became a semi-finalist on Donald Trump’s first season of The Celebrity Apprentice and brought national recognition to his charity.

Adkins has performed for millions of fans worldwide and consistently sells out venues across the nation. His hard-driving stage show is chalked full of hits, making him one of today’s top headlining country artists. Adkins’ latest hit single climbing the charts is “All I Ask For Anymore," the tender ballad from "X," his tenth album on Capitol Records Nashville.
