Tasha Turner of Turners Gospel Bluegrass is happy to announce her first solo project “Hey It’ A Beautiful Day”  will be available  this weekend  during  Bean Fest . The CD was recorded at Raney’s Recording Studio in Drasco, Arkansas. Tasha has spent all summer long working on it with some her good friends. Tasha’s album is featuring 11 of the songs she has written with a 12th  bonus  tune written by her little Brother Titus Turner better known as Rattler. Tasha feels so honor to have  a couple members from her favorite band “Mountain Heart” to  play on a few songs as well. Josh Shilling from Bassett Va, who now  resides in  Nashville Tn.  played piano, and Aaron Ramsey from Morganton NC, played  banjo on this project. Tasha is very happy to say these two musicians were almost thrilled  when she ask them to be apart of her album. She also had Timmy Crouch  from Strawberry Arkansas to play fiddle, mandolin,  guitar, and a few other instruments . Along with 2009-2010 state  Dobro  player of Mississippi Tim Hathorn from Hattiesburg Ms. . Tasha didn’t want to leave her family out of this project either so she ask her brother Titus Turner to play some mandolin and  father  Garry Turner  to do some bass.  Her harmony singers on this project was Jaquita Lindsey from Bryant  Arkansas,  Tonya Hewttie from Cleveland Mississippi, who now lives in Batesville, Arkansas and the Larry Nelson Family from Clinton Arkansas. Tasha and her family will be out this Saturday during Bean Fest with the new album  if you want to come by and  pick one up. She will also have them available on her web site at www.tashaturner.webs.com if you would like to get one there. In closing, Tasha  would like to give a special thank you to her family , friends and fans, for all of the encouragement and support she has had during this year. Without everyone helping this album would have not been possible so thank you  all so very much, it is well appreciated!

This year I had a really cool thanks giving. My family and I got to spend it with Little Roy Lewis, his foster daughter Lizzy Long and last but not lest Bluegrass Legend Earl Scruggs in a small town in Ga. It was so much fun to get to do that again. Earl is such a nice person and he has played better then I have ever heard him play live then. I really enjoyed the jams with them. My sister got the chance of a life time to play on stage with Earl, Lizzy invited her up to play a picking with her since they needed a guitar player. My sister is a pretty hot picker and loves playing so much. She was so excited when she got to pick with them. Since then we have become great friends with Earl, starting to know him better as a person and I have to say them people are some fine folks out there. I really enjoyed the jams at Little Roy's  wow! what some great music!!!!!

Well Been counting the days down till I get to be back in the fine  City of Nashville. Looking forward to the ibma seeing and meeting new people and just having a blast in Bluegrass. I heard Vince Gill is going to be singing at fan fest and can't wait till then, I have always enjoyed hearing Vince do his style of Bluegrass. What a voice God has blessed him with. It seems I have been so busy with shows that I hadn't got a chance to really jam like I'd like to. Right before a Church Concert a good friend who has helped me along with the fiddle called wanting to jam on the square, Well I hated to but had to turn him down. I hope we get to jam some thought before the year is up. If he was only at the IBMA him and his other friend would not go home , I know by heart they'd be in heaven. But again, I might lose him to a group, he is some pretty good coming on fiddle player in bluegrass.  I can't miss playing twin fiddles with him when we jam something that is so fun and sounds so cool. I also, hope Lizzy long wins a award this year to . It would help her out so much. Also, I am cheering for Carrie and Hard Rain to. I hope she gets vocalist of the year. She's got a great voice and no doubt since she is a up coming artist she needs to win award or to as well. I am always to the most part hoping for the best in the up coming.....It's going to be great this year !!!!!!
