(Nashville, Tenn. – March 24, 2014) – Country artist
Amber Hayes makes her return to the big screen in the Cowgirls ‘N Angels sequel,

Hayes makes a cameo appearance in the film and performs the classic tune,
“Cotton Eyed Joe,” which is featured on the
soundtrack along with her song “Home.” Both tracks can now be purchased on
iTunes,
Amazon and other major digital retailers.
Hayes has also released a music video to
“Cotton Eyed Joe,” which is now available for
viewing. Nashville-based producer, Charlie Kelley produced and co-wrote the new rendition of the track, “Cotton Eyed Joe.”
“I
am so honored to have been asked to record one of Country music’s most
recognized dance songs, ‘Cotton Eyed Joe,’ for Dakota’s Summer,” said
Hayes. “The track is very different from what my fans might expect from
me, but I suspect that they will enjoy our twist on the track. I’m
thrilled with the music video and can’t wait for the release of this
wonderful, family film.”
Cowgirls ‘N Angels 2: Dakota’s Summer will premiere at the
2014 Dallas International Film Festival in April. The film will be available digitally on
iTunes,
Amazon,
Google Play and other major digital retailers on April 1 and released April 15 on Blu-Ray and DVD through

alongside a young, popular cast that includes Haley Ramm (X-Men: The
Last Stand), Jade Pettyjohn (American Girl: McKenna Shoots for the
Stars), and Emily Bett Rickards (Arrow) in this inspiring second chapter
of the beloved Cowgirls ’N Angels story. After she receives
unexpected news about herself, a 17-year-old girl (Ramm) experiences an
exciting, yet challenging life in and out of the rodeo circuit in this
wonderful coming-of-age story. Filled with heart, horses and
high-reaching adventure, Cowgirls ’N Angels 2: Dakota’s Summer is an uplifting reminder that with courage, friendship and passion, anything is possible.
