Reba McEntire Headlines Tenth Annual Free Dollar Bank Jamboree at the Point
PITTSBURGH, July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the past decade, country musicstars with famous first names like Clint, Vince and Wynonna have been featuredat the Free Dollar Bank Jamboree at the Point. Now celebrating the Jamboree's10th anniversary, Dollar Bank has tapped one of the biggest first names in allof entertainment to headline this year's daylong festivities.
Reba McEntire will headline this year's Jamboree scheduled for Sunday,August 29, 2004.
A true entertainer in every sense of the word, Reba McEntire has done whatfew performers have: achieved tremendous success in a variety of mediathroughout her career. Growing up on a cattle ranch in Oklahoma andsurrounded by a musically inclined family, country music was in McEntire'sblood. She debuted on Billboard's country charts in 1976. Her first top tenhit came four years later and they haven't stopped since. Throughout the1980s and 1990s, McEntire made her mark on country music, winning nearly 50national and international awards, including CMA's Female Vocalist of the Year(1984, '85, '86, '87) and Entertainer of the Year (1987), Grammy Awards forBest Country Vocal Performance Female (1987) and Best Vocal Collaboration(with Linda Davis) in 1994.
In 1994, McEntire perhaps prematurely penned her autobiography, Reba: MyStory. Some of her greatest accomplishments were yet to come. In 2001,McEntire proved that acting was in her blood, as well, when she took over thelead role in the Broadway production of Annie Get Your Gun, garnering praisefrom critics and fans alike. Later that year, she stepped from the GreatWhite Way to the small screen with a weekly sitcom, Reba. Earlier this year,she went back to her musical roots with her Room to Breathe CD and her firsttour in four years. In June 2004, she topped the list for most top ten solohits by a female on Billboard's country charts, with 51, with "Somebody," thesecond top twenty smash from Room to Breathe.
In addition to Reba McEntire, the Free Dollar Bank Jamboree at the Pointwill also feature a performance by Carolyn Dawn Johnson, one of country'snewest sensations. A native of Grant Prairie, Alberta, Canada, Johnson movedto Nashville in 1997, where she began singing demos for other writers andwriting with some of them. After gigs singing studio vocals for PattyLoveless, Martina McBride and Kenny Rogers, among others, she earned a recorddeal in 1999, scoring a Number One hit with her composition "Single WhiteFemale." In 2001, her debut CD Room With a View, earned her internationalkudos, including a Canadian Country Music Award and the Academy of CountryMusic's Top New Female Vocalist. Her second CD, Dress Rehearsal, debutedearlier this year.

REBA'S TOP 3 SONG BEST TESTING FEMALE HIT
Right now Reba McEntire's "Somebody" is the best testing female song in the country. And it has radio consultants calling it her best record in a decade, "It's the most powerful Reba song in a decade," Jaye Albright, and Joel Raab saying "This is her biggest hit in the last 10 years. It is great to have Reba back on the radio."
NOBODY IS MORE THRILLED ABOUT THIS THAN REBA - she tells Country Weekly in the upcoming Aug. 3rd issue, "There’s something about being away from the politics and the routine and the grind of the music business that ended up being refreshing to me,” Reba tells Country Weekly. “By getting away from it all for a while, it all feels fresh and new again. The people in country music have been very good to me,” she raves. “Country music has put food on my family’s table for years. You just don’t forget something like that.”

Reba McEntire On Country Across America
Reba profiled on Country Across America show this week.
By Neil Haislop, Country Forever Productions
NASHVILLE, TN Monday 7.19.2004 /netmusiccountdown.com/ -- Reba McEntire is profiled on GAC's Country Across America this week. One of the revelations she makes is that it's taken 20 years to get back to her "true voice," that as a teller of inspirational and heartfelt stories.
Meanwhile Reba continues her tour that shows how real the feeling is when she sings her tunes. According to writer, Tom Roland, "McEntire displayed admirable confidence, impeccable timing and just the right touch of emotion...Her facial expressions and other physical gestures, handily picked up on the video screens, routinely enhanced the emotional content of the songs."
Catch Reba on "Country Music Across America," airing through 7/26 on the Great American Country network.
