A true Hitz & Branding team effort to spearhead the marketing for the inaugural WBCA State Farm Showcase. We loved being part of the team working to build this into an annual event to continue growing women’s basketball. This group truly cares about this sport.

CJ Field continues to raise money for his nonprofit organization, Fight 4 Them Foundation, that benefits Veterans. He's traveling across the country for Operation Miles 4 Meals where he'll be providing meals for Veterans during the holidays.

Last night he stopped near my hometown at the Peoria Heights VFW #2602 where so many of my friends and family stopped by to support his efforts. And to enjoy his show!

An amazing night with Keith Anderson at Cahoots Dancehall. Just hit after hit and all the line dancing at the h***y tonk!

As CJ said, we are blown away by everyone who came out to the show from across the country and Denmark … what?!? He’s still trying to put it all into words, but we’re not!

We are so proud of how hard he works to get better every day and it makes our hearts happy to see so many people who believe in his talent as much as we do. Because of you, he’s living this dream.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the show, and those who walked in wearing his merch and sporting CJ tattoos. Shoutout to those who purchased his record, streamed his songs and always sing along at the shows. This all matters.

We surpassed the 100 Cannonball record sales mark at the show so we gave away a record player to celebrate. 100+ records sold!

Two of his band members flew in for a day just to play this show. His family drove all the way from Massachusetts to be part of this moment that wouldn’t be possible without their love and support. And a special shoutout to the amazing human, Terri Jo Box, who has had a hand in everything that is happening to CJ, including getting so many of the original freaks together for the most epic Music Row Freakshow to celebrate CJ’s release and her birthday.

It’s been quite a journey to get to this place, and we love all of the characters who have become part of his story and how CJ has become part of theirs. We are taking a moment to let it all sink in.

Then it’s back to work! Sold out show at Backstage Nashville tomorrow afternoon, a show at The Local in Hendersonville tomorrow night and a private party in Georgia on Sunday. A private party organized by a new fan who saw CJ play earlier this year. They are throwing this party so CJ can play for their friends. They are even live steaming his set for those who can’t make it to their house. We are beyond grateful for all of these moments.

Not every day is a Good Day, but Wednesday definitely was.

What a difference a year makes! At CJ Field’s show last year at The Local, Lauryn was our intern who jumped in as part of our line dance flash mob when CJ crushed the night.

Yesterday, Lauryn stopped by after work at her first job to cheer CJ on where he completely smashed the night! We’re all getting better every single day.

It's always a special moment to be in the studio with an artist, but this one meant a little more because this is the first time Jennifer Grant recorded songs she wrote and/or co-wrote with amazing songwriters. The first song that was written with one of our favorites, Kensie Coppin, drops next month!

Our phones were blowing up with people telling us that Chancie Neal stole the show at Chick Singer Night last weekend. We agree!

It’s been ten years since I worked my first event at The Ryman, which was for the Women’s Final Four. Thanks to Billy Holland for asking me to be part of Roots and Boots for my second event at the mother church.

We work with several nonprofit organizations, and have been part of many more fundraisers, but we've never helped a client start their own nonprofit. Proud moment yesterday when CJ Field held his first fundraiser for his Fight 4 Them Foundation in his hometown community. We are grateful to be part of the fundraising efforts that benefit veterans around the country.

I wish everyone could experience a night in Nashville like the one we had last Tuesday at the Bluebird. This group of songwriters (who could’ve been comedians) was absolute magic together.

When I met Chancie Neal five years ago I was blown away by her voice and her songs, and every performance after that she continues to crush.

Thanks to everyone who came out to support her first round at this iconic venue, including Kix Brooks jumping in. They closed out the night with the song they wrote with Briana Calhoun called “Busting Out” and it brought down the house.

Six years ago this month I left an amazing job at the NCAA to move to Nashville to start my business. All of my initial clients were in and/or tied to the sports industry, but Nashville does what it does and suddenly I was working in the music industry.

I went from attending CMA Fest for years to working the event last week with one of my favorite artists. Keith Anderson. What an amazing day going from radio interviews to the packed meet and greet to the show where everyone was singing along to after the show when he talked to every fan who stuck around.

Since we capture and create the content, I even picked out his outfits for the day, so I guess add stylist in training to the resume. When you believe you can do anything, it turns out that you actually can. Thanks to everyone who believed in me along the way!

We popped by Kinkead Entertainment with Keith Anderson to play a few songs and chat about future shows. An amazing group of people to have on your side.

Another packed house for CJ Field. It was a great week playing the BMI Key West Songwriters Festival. One of our favorite moments was when he played a song from his upcoming album and the crowd cheered when he told them they can only get that song on the vinyl record next month. Doing things differently is what we love to do, and it sounds like people like it too.

When so many people want you to prove yourself first, you become very grateful for those along the way who give you a chance because they believe you can do big things. Thank you to Nick and the team at Riveters Tampa for having CJ Field and his amazing fans out for the show. What a night! We can’t wait to come back in August.

It's been fun connecting the dots between sports and music throughout my career. Big things ahead this Fall!

We had the good fortune of connecting with Tracie Hitz...
