CONGRATULATIONS TO REDHILL!
WINNER OF THE 2007 DETROIT MUSIC AWARDS OUTSTANDING COUNTRY RECORDING
FORTHEIR CD YOU GET WHAT YOU GET
You saw them at the 2006 WYCD Downtown Hoedown, they rocked the house at the 99.5 WYCD 13th Birthday Bash - and 99.5 WYCD is bringing back this five-member Country music performance group to the 2007 Hoedown by popular demand - REDHILL!
REDHILL has developed a unique style they call "Detroit Country" -- Detroit-rock-and-Motown-influenced Country Music. Motown and Rock have been the prominent sounds coming out of Detroit for half a century, so it is no small wonder that these influences are in the heart and soul of the sound that is REDHILL today.
REDHILL combines a group of seasoned music veterans, strong songwriters, and a sexy, soulful lead singer who all love to perform live. An energetic and upbeat live show has become the group's trademark. REDHILL has opened for Kenny Chesney, Gretchen Wilson, Carrie Underwood, Clint Black, Dwight Yoakam (at DTE), Bomshel, Gary Nichols, Hot Apple Pie, Tony Phillips, Mitch Rider, Lee Roy Parnell, as well as country great Clay Walker at the Freedom Hill Amphitheater in Detroit.
REDHILL received five nominations in 2007 for Detroit Music Awards:
Outstanding Country Group/Artist
Outstanding Country Vocalist: Julianne Outstanding Country Recording - WINNER!
Outstanding Songwriter: Greg Michaels
Outstanding Instrumentalist: Greg Michaels
REDHILL also received two nominations in 2006 from the Detroit Music Awards: Outstanding Country Group/Artist, and Outstanding Country Recording from their 4 song ep.
They performed at last year's Detroit Downtown Hoedown; the largest outdoor country concert in the nation with acts such as Terri Clark, Josh Gracin, Miranda Lambert, Rodney Adkins, Trent Tomlinson, and more.
On June 25, 2006, REDHILL performed at the famous Bluebird Cafe in Tennessee to a packed room.

"As I sit here in my living room, surrounded by memories of times past, I see photographs of happier times. I see Justin’s Senior Picture…taken in my dark blue suit and tie, (The tie that I had to tie and that he complained about.) “It’s not me” he said putting it on. . .. Those people that we speak about during ceremonies, parades and speeches, are real people, not distant heroes, Our Heroes. They have real families. They deserve this day. Please honor them for their sacrifices, because at my house… everyday is Memorial Day." Please feel free to share your thoughts inside, on this, and what Memorial Day means to you.
