Concert in the Park

Nathan  Osmond   is more  than  just  “A Little Bit Country!” His new  single,  “SWEET” just  hit #1 on the Independent Country charts and stayed there for two weeks. He is currently at #8 on the major  Country  charts.  During this year’s CMA Music Fest, Nathan played the  “Midnight Jamb-oree” at the historic Texas Troubadour Theater in Nashville, TN. His guitar-driven, cutting-edge, true-to-Country-roots sound is winning the attention of Country fans the world over.
 
This singer-songwriter is no stranger to the business.  Nearly his entire life has been dedicated to writing and performing music. Raised around television and recording studios, Nathan knew at an early age that music was his destiny.  He began writing his latest project in Nashville with Dean  Sams,  the  keyboard-player and  founding-member of the  hit Country group,  Lonestar. Sams  immediately heard  Nathan’s musical gifts and  took him under  his wing to produce  four sides  on his album.  Nathan  then  travelled to Muscle Shoals,  AL to meet  up with hit-songwriter/ producer, Gary Baker (“I Swear”,  “I’m Already  There”,  etc.)  to finish  the album. He is signed on Pretty World Records  and has plans to release his next single this August.
 
Nathan   was   voted   by   Country   fans   as “Best Local Country  Artist” this year  in Utah and received the Eagle Country Award. He’s opened  for Carrie Underwood, Patty Loveless, Collin Raye and many others  in the business. Whether   it’s  playing  to  a sold-out  stadium or even  a local County fair, Nathan  always delivers a high-energy, crowd-pleasing performance that always leaves his audiences wanting more. He is a member of CMA and just recorded a new duet with Country legend and Opry star, Jack Greene,  which will be released later this year.
 
Pretty  World  Records   will be releasing Osmond’s first solo-debut album this September , which  will feature the hit-single, “SWEET”. The label plans  to shoot a new music video summer of 2011.
 
“I’ve spent  two years  putting this new album together and I truly feel  that  it represents who I  am  musically,” said  Osmond.  He co-wrote on this album and also included the talents of several     other    hit-songwriters   such     as Brett   James (“Jesus    Take   The   Wheel”, Cowboy Casanova”), Jim Collins (“The Good Stuff”,” “Everybody  Wants To Go To Heaven”), Jerry Foster  (“Here Comes  The Hurt Again”) Walt  Aldridge   (“I Loved   Her  First”,  “I Sure Can Smell The Rain”) and others.
 
Nathan recently returned  from a five-month run in Hawaii where he both produced and starred in what was  voted  “The #1 family show  in Waikiki,” Pacific Swing Hawaii, at the iconic Royal Hawaiian.
 
“One of my favorite things to do is getting to meet the fans before or after the shows,” said Osmond. “I don’t  care   who  you  are,  if you  don’t take the time out to meet  your fans, you won’t be around long in this business!” Nathan Osmond is known for giving his fans his time and is very active in responding  to their questions  through his Facebook  and Twitter pages.  He even has a street team called, “The O-Zone” whose members  are actively spreading his music around the globe. Nathan said,  “I’ve been so blessed to have the most loyal and supportive fans any artist could ask for. I love you ALL!!!”
 
On top of his Country career, Nathan has toured  on the North American tour of the hit musical, “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” He was even cast in the lead role  of the  National  tour  of, “You’re A Good Man Charlie  Brown.” He’s toured to over 15 countries,  singing in many of their languages, and had 3 songs  in the top 40 in the U.K. with his brothers (The Osmonds 2nd Generation). He has appeared  in a number of films over the past two years and has plans to continue acting. Nathan  is also  actively booked  as a motivational speaker  and brings with him a very inspiring message  for any organization. He is actively involved with Children’s Miracle Network (a foundation started  by his grand- mother), Autism Speaks and Operation Smile. He believes  in giving back.
 
“I hope   to  be more than just another  Country singer,” said Osmond,  “I  hope to create a legacy  of solid  entertainment.   I  hope   to  be a positive role model, to both young and old alike, proving that anything in life is possible, so long as you have a dream and are willing to put into action  what  it takes to achieve that dream.” He continued by saying, “I hope to continue writing songs  that are  meaningful and anchor to the hearts of the listener.”
 
Nathan   stresses the   importance   of family in achieving success.   “I  have been blessed    with  the   greatest,    most   patient and  supportive  wife on  earth.  She is  the inspiration  for a lot of my songs.” Nathan recently recorded a Jerry Foster cut titled, “Every Man Needs A Rock,” which will be featured as a bonus song on his next album. He dedicates  it to his sweetheart,  Sarah.  “I’m the proud father of three  little boys (Zachary, Corbin and Samuel).” He continues saying, “If I never win a CMA Award or a Grammy, so long as my kids think I’m a cool dad, then I consider myself a true success.” Nathan has major plans to tour this year and hopes to be able to meet as many of his fans as possible.
