CARISSA AMBERLY PRESS RELEASE
July 4, 2007

Carissa Amberly, a young rising star of country music, will be performing each day at the Great American Trucking Show (GATS) in Dallas, Texas from August 23-25, 2007 at 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.. This will be her second year at GATS as a spokes lady for Trucker’s Complete, a health and nutrition supplement company. Fifteen year old Carissa, who won first place in the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame talent showcase in 2006, will be performing songs from her CD “Letters” and a variety of other country songs, as well as a number of trucking classics.

A love for truckers and country music flows naturally in Carissa’s veins. She was inspired into singing by her truck driving and steel guitar playing grandfather, Curley Green. Although Grandpa Curley is her angel of inspiration, her talent was discovered and presented to the trucking and radio world by music and broadcasting legend Bill Mack on his XM Satellite radio program, “The Open Road Show”. Last year, her pre album release song, “Some Heroes Don’t Come Back” was chosen as the Dynamic Discovery on The Overdrive Top Ten Countdown, hosted by Bill Mack and presented by Overdrive Radio Network’s Diana Davis.

Carissa was recently honored to be the first country music entertainer interviewed by Larry Shannon, host of Overdrive Trucking News and co-founder of the Texas Radio Hall of Fame. Mr. Shannon’s interview with Carissa will air the week of August 20th through 25th which coincides with the Great American Trucking Show. Carissa asks that you stop by the Trucker’s Complete booth #23109 across from Shell Oil so that she can personally thank you for the tremendous support truckers have given to her dream to become a country music entertainer.

Carissa's grandmother Lucille Green, a Trucker's Complete customer, contacted us a while back looking for some original Bill Mack songs for Carissa to consider for her upcoming CD. We didn't think much of it at that time, because most grandmothers naturally think their granddaughters are the greatest. But once I finally went to her website and listened to her demos, I knew Lucille wasn't just being a proud grandmother, she actually had a talented singer in the family. I called everyone into my office here at Trucker's Complete to listen to this young woman sing and even the Rock-N-Rollers were impressed by her maturity of voice at such a young age.

Last year, Carissa at the age of 13 was the first runner up at the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame Talent Showcase in Carthage, Texas. She currently sings every Sunday evening at the Louisiana Jamboree in Shreveport, Louisiana. She was chosen to sing to the soldiers at Barksdale Air Force Base in Boosier City, Louisiana on September 16, 2006.
