Press Release for Hit Me America

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 6, 2015

Top songwriters to team up with music fans in a unique Jam Session to write a hit song while a star bartender creates an original signature drink inspired by the music.

NEW ORLEANS – On the Wednesday before Mardi Gras, Spirits on Bourbon will host a Hit Me America Jam Session where dueling piano wizards TJ Zino & Todd Adams are put to the ultimate test of writing a hit song with music fans…the audience.

Producers are calling this unique event the ultimate interactive music experience and are inviting anyone who loves music to be part of the audience who will become the co-writers of an actual song. The goal: To write a hit song! The event will be filmed for Television and You Tube by local production company Ghost Rider Pictures.

Both Zino and Adams will face the ultimate challenge of their careers as they must allow the audience to take the lead in the songwriting process and be inspired by the crowd of co-writers. Nothing is off limits for the audience members who are encouraged to toss out story lines, lyrics, melodies or anything else to help the songwriters accomplish their goal of writing a hit song in the allotted time of 1 hour.

During the songwriting session one of Spirits’ top bartenders will also be challenged to come up with an original signature drink which is inspired by the song. That drink will become part of Spirits’ drink menu and will be called the “Spirits’ HIT ME HIGHBALL” which customers can order by simply saying “Hit Me!”
Producers will donate 20% of all music royalties that the song generates to Michelle’s Place Breast Cancer Resource Center. Spirits on Bourbon will also donate 100% of all Hit Me Highball sales generated that night.
Following the event the song will be registered with BMI and released on all music platforms including ITunes, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify and more with the ultimate goal of getting on the radio. Future jam sessions will feature top Nashville singer/songwriter Thom Shepherd, and popular Louisiana singer/songwriters Lynn Drury, Brett Weller, and Scott Lee Tully among others.
