While
Matassa isn’t a golfer herself, she does admire the sport since her
husband Frank competed in Long Drive events in 2009. “I’ve been lucky
enough to sing our anthem at two Major League Baseball games this
summer,” Lisa notes. “I’m thinking the golf crowd might be a bit
quieter than the ballparks,” she jokes. “But it’s Vegas – so who
knows!”

The track is also spinning on Aol Radio’s “New Country First,” Slacker Radio’s “New Country First” Channel, “Ladies Of Country” Channel and Radio.com’s “Big Country” Channel. The companion video, shot in Austin, Texas, is currently in rotation on GACTV.com, CMT.com, CMT Pure!, ZUUS Country, ClubCom Network’s Country Reel, VideoDetective.com/IVA, Sidewalks TV, and additional outlets.
Matassa’s whirlwind summer kicked off with her CMA Music Festival debut, her Grand Ole Opry debut (during the celebration of the U.S. Postal Service’s limited-edition Johnny Cash Forever stamp), and an appearance at the inaugural Taste of Country Festival in New York. This summer alone, Lisa has shared the stage with Lady Antebellum, Carlene

Travis. She continues with tour dates throughout the fall, including
the “Playin’ Possum! The Final NO Show” November 22 in Nashville. She’ll wrap the year at home in New York with family and close friends.
