“Country Outdoors LIVE presented by FRAM”

DENVER (May 13, 2021) – Country Outdoors LIVE presented by FRAM on Outdoor Channel on Monday, May 17 (8 p.m. ET) is bringing viewers exclusive, intimate performances with some of country music’s top rising talent. Tonight’s feature on the live performance series is soulful singer/songwriter, Drake White. From his childhood days singing with the First Baptist Church youth choir in Alabama to his emergence as one of country music's most acclaimed innovators, with four Top 40 hits, multiple nationwide tours, and a dedicated cult following all under his belt, White will get viewers to turn up the sound to listen to his performance.

Seeing Drake White live is far from an ordinary concert experience. Equal parts warrior leader, holy-fire reverend, and gypsy Appalachian mountain man, he fronts his band with a mix of Muscle Shoals groove and honky-tonk grease.

Hosts Nick Hoffman, host of Outdoor Channel’s Nick’s Wild Ride, and Mary O’Neill Phillips, host of the Outdoor Sportsman Group (OSG) podcast Country Outdoors, will introduce the live acts, as well as help viewers learn details behind-the-music during each 30-minute show. OSG also will offer Facebook Live interviews following each episode.

White’s goal for his career and his music is to continue building an inspired community with his voice, country-soul spirit, and relentless optimism by fusing everything he does. It can be from the shows he plays with The Big Fire (his blue-collar band of road warriors), to the events he hosts at Whitewood Hollow, the rustic event space he hand-designed with his wife, Alex, in rural Tennessee. Viewers will see how White has happily blurred the boundaries between music and every other moment of his life.

Posted on May 12, 2021May 14, 2021 by George Apregan

DENVER (May 12, 2021) – Now with 10 seasons on MyOutdoorTV, Major League Bowhunter hosts Matt Duff and Chipper Jones take viewers through an entire season of deer hunting successes and failures, delivering all aspects of their hunts. These avid outdoorsmen believe there is something that can be learned from every experience in the field, both good and bad. Their passion and success for harvesting big bucks is what formed a special friendship among them. It's through their eyes that viewers will be entertained, but more importantly, educated to what has been learned throughout the years…with the hopes of becoming a more successful bowhunter.

Chipper Jones, Atlanta Braves All-Star third baseman, is one of the most recognizable and respected names in Major League Baseball. His numerous records, awards, and statistics spanning more than 15 years has assured his place in Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame. Not only has his fame and popularity for his accomplishments on the baseball diamond brought him many awards and accolades, but his passion for hunting and love for the outdoors is fast becoming more embedded into America’s perspective when one hears the name “Chipper Jones.” As co-owner of Major League Bowhunter, Chipper also works alongside his good friend Matt Duff as a host of the show, sharing his knowledge and experience as an accomplished bowhunter.

“Bowhunting is the ultimate and I find so many similarities with baseball in that you can always learn new things that can improve your odds of success if you just soak up all the knowledge you can and learn from all your experiences,” Jones shared.

Drake White and LOCASH to Follow on Outdoor Channel’s Third Installment of Live Performance Series “Country Outdoors LIVE presented by FRAM”

DENVER (May 6, 2021) – The live performance series Country Outdoors LIVE presented by FRAM is now airing its third season of the popular series Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on Outdoor Channel and this week’s feature is country music singer/songwriter Travis Denning. With more than 398 million streams worldwide, Denning has been spotlighted for his head-turning sound and was previously selected as one of CRS New Faces, an Opry NextStage recipient and a CMA KixStart Artist, as he makes his mark within the industry.

A native of Warner Robins, Georgia, singer/songwriter and Mercury Nashville recording artist Travis Denning just released his “clever kiss-off” (Billboard) and “wickedly fun good-riddance anthem” (PEOPLE) “ABBY.” Already amassing more than 17 million streams and the track reaching the No. 1 spot on Sirius XM’s Highway Hot 30, the track earned the most adds at country radio upon add date.

Travis Denning celebrated his first No. 1 and GOLD-certified single in 2020 with the “shadowy” (Rolling Stone) “After A Few.” Accelerating his ascent from a chart-topping single, the song is taken from his debut EP “Beer’s Better Cold” that debuted in the Top 20 of Billboard's Country Albums chart. Denning first made waves with the release of his Top 40 debut single “David Ashley Parker From Powder Springs." Denning has toured as direct support for Dustin Lynch and has previously opened shows for Cole Swindell, Alan Jackson, LANCO, Riley Green and his first headlining “Heartbeat Of A Small Town Tour.” Inspired at a young age, Denning developed a love for country, pop, rock and heavy metal and started playing local bars from the age of 16, as he built a strong following from his distinctive songs and raucous guitar solos. A prolific writer with an unquestionable stage presence, Denning moved to Nashville and secured outside cuts by Jason Aldean, Justin Moore, Michael Ray and more. Denning’s newest songwriting cut includes Michael Ray’s Top 20 single “Her World Or Mine.”
