Nashville, TN (November 30, 2015) Each Monday in November has been filled with exciting news via the Butler Music Group “Monumental Monday” press releases. This week BMG is thrilled to announce that several of their artists will be featured on XM/Enlighten Radio’s Artist Spotlight series.
Coming off of their #1 Song, “Shout,” the Williamsons will be in the
Sirius/XM studios in downtown Nashville this December to record their spotlight show. The show will include interviews with the group as well as music from their latest album, Tell Somebody. “We are excited to be a part of this. This year has been exciting for the Williamsons and this is a great way to end the year,” stated Donnie Williamson.
Country and Gospel music legend, Larry Gatlin will also be in the Sirius/XM studios to record an Artist Spotlight. “Many people know Larry Gatlin as a country star so we are excited for them to get to know Larry for his Gospel music. This is going to be a special show for sure,” continued Butler. The Gospel According To Gatlin, is filled with great Southern and Country Gospel music.
The excitement continues into the new year. The talented trio Eighth Day has had huge success on the radio and this spotlight will be a hit parade as the listeners hear one hit song after another. “Few groups have had the kind of consistent radio success like Eighth Day has had through the years. They’ve had 12 songs in a row in the Singing News Top 40 including the #1 spot,” added Les Butler.
Larry Gatlin will make a return visit to the Sirius/XM studios, but this time he will be bringing his brothers and their live band. Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers will be taping a special live concert to be aired on XM Enlighten.
