(Nashville, Tenn. – Oct. 24, 2012)  Any Day Is A Good Day, the anticipated sophomore release from Country artist Amber Hayes, is now available via iTunes, GMVNashville.com and AmberHayesMusic.com.

Any Day Is A Good Day is the follow-up album to Hayes’ 2010 debut EP, C’mon, which spawned two Top 40 singles on the national MusicRow CountryBreakout Chart.  The new seven-song collection, released through GMV Nashville/AOK Entertainment, features three songs co-written by Hayes: the spirited “Me and Loretta,” “Far Far Away” and the inspirational title track, “Any Day Is A Good Day.”

“I was really excited when we finished writing ‘Any Day Is A Good Day,’ because it has such a positive, encouraging message,” says Hayes.  “The reaction when I perform it at my shows has been great, and I’ve gotten a lot of really touching comments from people about how this song has brought hope or inspiration to them in some way.  I like to think of it as a reminder that each day is a gift and not to take it for granted.  It seemed only fitting to name the album after this song.”

Any Day Is A Good Day was produced by Nashville-based producer Paul Compton and reflects Hayes’ maturity as an artist and as a songwriter.  Since releasing her C’mon EP in 2010, Hayes has toured the U.S. with former label mate Ty Herndon and traveled internationally in support of her music.  Among her overseas dates have been shows in China, Japan, Sweden and Diego Garcia military base in the Indian Ocean, among others.

Hayes has seen her music make the jump to both television and film in 2012.  Three of her songs (including a duet with Lonestar’s Richie McDonald) appeared in the family film, “Cowgirls N’ Angels,” which ran in theaters this summer.  The movie also marked Hayes’ acting debut in a major motion picture, though the singer has extensive theater experience.  Hayes got her break in Nashville following her portrayal of Kathy Twitty in the 2008 musical, Conway Twitty: The Man, The Music, The Legend… The Musical.    “Cowgirls N’ Angels” is currently available in stores on DVD.

The CW television series “Hart of Dixie” also tapped Hayes for her songs in 2012, placing music in five of the show’s Season 1 episodes.  Her 2010 single, “C’mon,” and her follow-up 2011 single, “Wait,” are among the four songs featured in the series this fall.

“Friday Night Fight” selected as official high school football song for Cox cable broadcasts

(Nashville, Tenn. – Sept. 1, 2011) A Country music artist has to be prepared for all kinds of interesting things while visiting stations on a national radio tour.  FUNL Music recording artist Amber Hayes learned the always useful “pour a can of beer from your forehead” trick last week while visiting WBYT in South Bend, Ind.

In preparing for Hayes’ visit to their station, the WBYT staff discovered the first song that Amber ever learned was “I’m A Little Teapot.”  In tribute, the clever staffers recruited the owner of a local Irish pub to pose as a WBYT DJ and impress the Oklahoma native with his unique “talent.”  Watch the act and vocal accompaniment from Hayes here.

Hayes’ current single, “Wait” jumped to No. 44 on the Billboard Country Indicator chart this week.  She has been touring with label mate Ty Herndon this summer and is putting the finishing touches on a batch of new songs for her upcoming 2012 release.  Hayes also appears in next year’s “Cowgirls N’ Angels” motion picture with James Cromwell, Bailee Madison and ex-Lonestar front man Richie McDonald.
