very exciting it is to be a new member of this CMA family! An important

across the country,” Dillingham commented.

Having already performed in 37 countries, I look forward to this
opportunity to take country music, once again, to new frontiers,”

opportunity everyday to change peoples lives with our music. That’s what
we are really talking about here!”
