Gloriana Goes ‘Back to School’

Gloriana are featured in the back-to-school campaign for Hot Topic entitled “When Music And Fashion Collide.” Hot Topic, the leading retailer in trendy teen clothing, wanted to involve a diverse group of music artists to help highlight their store as the destination for music during the busiest shopping time of the year. Gloriana, who are known for their style not only in music but also in fashion, were an obvious choice to represent the country music genre.

Gloriana, along with 16 other music artists, had a photo shoot with Hot Topic Apparel, which is featured on the site and can be seen on posters in all 680 stores across the country. Fans can purchase exclusive Gloriana Hot Topic merchandise at stores and at http://tinyurl.com/HTgloriana. To check out behind the scenes footage of the band’s photo shoot and check out Gloriana’s look book, fans can go to www.hottopic.com/hottopic/BackToSchool.jsp

Gloriana is currently out on the road on their Long Hot Summer Tour 2010 making stops at major Fairs and Festivals across the country through mid-September.

Go Behind the Scenes at CMA Music Festival

Fans can get a glimpse of all the behind the scenes action from the 2010 CMA Music Festival on ABC.com and CMAfest.com before the three-hour special “CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock” premieres on Wednesday, September 1st (8:00-11:00 PM/ET) on ABC.

Beginning today through September 1st, ABC.com will launch over 20 online videos featuring CMA Music Festival fan favorites Trace Adkins, Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Laura Bell Bundy, Eric Church, Gloriana, Julianne Hough, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride, Jake Owen, Kellie Pickler, Darius Rucker, Blake Shelton, Josh Turner, and more! The online videos will be added to the Festival’s official website, www.CMAfest.com, on Friday, August 13th.

“We went to a lot of fan club parties with artists, and we spent a great deal of time filming on their buses or even at their houses to give that exclusive feeling and intimacy,” said David Beebe ABC Director of Video Production. “We talked with a wide range of artists from the names you would expect to see and a lot of up-and-coming acts as well.”

In the video series, Bentley takes viewers into his late night fan club party; Aldean gives an exclusive look at his “huddle” with the band to get pumped up before performing at LP Field; Gloriana shows off their “bus mascot” given to them by Taylor Swift; and noted practical joker Shelton makes a special “request” of Pickler to watch his dogs and his mother while he heads out to perform. In a special video where “stars give back” to the fans, viewers get to witness Laura Bell Bundy cleaning up after fans and Gloriana on janitorial duty at the Festival!

The annual CMA Music Festival is unlike any other, with four days filled with more than one hundred hours of live music, 30 hours of autograph signings by Country Music’s biggest names and up and comers, hundreds of artists and celebrities, and a party list of thousands of avid fans.
