Ross Key Country will soon release new single, "Resurrect Music Row"

NASHVILLE, TN, OCTOBER 5, 2011: Ross Key will release a new single CD with his much acclaimed song, Resurrect Music Row. Co-written with his wife, Brenda, Key composed and rewrote the song numerous times.

"It took just over a year to get it the way I wanted it to be," Key stated. "The song had been intended for my 2010 Resurrecting Music Row tour. I just couldn't get the song to have the impact that I knew it needed. This year, after traveling to Nashville for an exposure tour, it came together when I walked down 16th Avenue in the heart of Music Row."

Key and his wife have also collaborated on a gospel song titled Lift Me Up, Dear Lord. It, too, is receiving a favorable response from crowds. Key intends to release a full country CD in the next few months, followed by a gospel album.

The songs are available to listen to on his site at www.reverbnation.com/rosskey.

ROSS KEY COUNTRY SELECTED TO HEADLINE BENEFIT CONCERT IN NASHVILLE

NASHVILLE,TN, SEPTEMBER 18, 2011: Ross Key Country will headline the KID Benefit Concert (Kids In Danger) along with several local musicians and bands in Nashville, Tennessee sponsored by the Musicians In Action Guild Showcase of Nashville. The concert is scheduled for Friday, September 30, 2011 at 8:00pm in the Celebrity Centre located at 1130 8th Avenue, S., Nashville, across from the W.O. Smith Music School.

Proceeds will benefit the Citizens Commission for Human Rights - Nashville, an international organization that polices the psychiatric community's actions. Tickets are being sold in advance at www.cchrnashville.org. There is limited seating, so early purchase of tickets is encouraged. VIP seating also includes special parking for the event.

The concert is being held to promote awareness of the intensifying misdiagnosis of millions of healthy children with mental disabilities such as ADHD, and the rampant dispensing of controlled drugs, such as Ritalin, to subdue normal childhood energy. With governments around the world - including the FDA in the United States - warning against the use of depressants in children under the age of 18, the psychiatric world is failing to heed the warnings and police themselves. These drugs can cause physical and psychological problems in normal,healthy children...even death. Reports compiled showed a marked increase in mental depression, uncharacteristic violent outbursts, suicide rates, and deaths among school-aged children who have no voice in their prescribed therapy. Video presentations concerning the dangers of this epidemic will be shown before, during, and after the concert, with selected testimony from Nashville parents and adults who have themselves been prescribed Class 2 drugs for ADHD and other bogus mental ills.

We’ve just added this week three more acts to the concert line up and to-date, performances include Ross Key, Andy Mabe, Karla Davis, Deborah Bishop, Don Hillaker, Garry Jackson, Arti Portilla, Woody Sunshine, CJ Greco, Ronnie Dean Messenger, Jonathan New, Carol Strickland, Julie Wayz & Amy K., Tyler Warren, Rick Bowers Band, and the Sal Rinella Band.
