Bridgette Tatum - "I like my Cowboys Dirty"

In 2009, Bridgette Tatum co-wrote the Most Played Song on country radio stations across the United States. A tremendous achievement for any songwriter, the
song, "She's Country" (recorded and released by
Platinum-selling country superstar Jason Aldean), held the #1 position on the chart for two consecutive weeks, which is a rare accomplishment, as well.

In 2010, Tatum's song, "Loud" was selected as the Official Theme Song for ACC Football's 2010 Season. This fast-paced anthem celebrates the excitement and energy of ACC Football, captured in a raucous music video filmed for television broadcast in ACC markets, totaling over 27 million households.

Add to these accolades the fact that Tatum's new album will be released on Root 49 Records and you have all of the elements needed to build a superstar career.

It's hard to deny the pure talent and passion for her craft that is clearly the driving force behind such
high profile career milestones. "Music is what I was put on this earth to do," she confidently declares. "I learned to feel music before I could hear it."

Bridgette moved to Nashville and enrolled in the music program at Nashville State Community College. She studied music as dutifully as she studied the business of music, quietly observing the riggings and trappings of Music City. Following her first outing at a Hall of Fame Lounge writer's night, Bridgette continued to take in the lay of the land, working her way up to the honky-tonks on Broadway and
a regular Friday night gig at the Star Café in White's Creek.

It wasn't until she found a kindred spirit in manager Carolyn Miller, however, that her career started to take shape. It was through the encouragement of Carolyn that Bridgette collaborated musically with her future producer, Danny Myrick. Danny's schooling in gospel made him a perfect match for Bridgette's soulful sound. Their partnership proved as successful in songwriting, as well. They co-wrote "She's Country," the #1 smash for Jason Aldean, as well as many of the songs on her self-titled release, including the single, "Hillbilly Rockstar." "It's an anthem for all the country people who like to get dressed up, go out to the clubs and have a big time," Bridgette says. "I like to say it's country with some couth."

"If it's real and you are making it honest, that's what people want to hear." With unfailing honesty and a penchant for risk-taking, Bridgette Tatum is storming the scene on her own terms and winning fans at every turn.
