Deborah Allen’s “Amazing Graceland Contest” Surpasses 10,000 Entries


Deadline to submit entries is this Saturday, April 7

(Nashville, Tenn. – April 5, 2012) In less than three months, Deborah Allen’s Amazing Graceland Contest has generated more than 10,000 entries from Elvis fans around the country hoping to win an all-expense paid trip to Elvis Week 2012.

The contest, which invites fans to submit their memories about Elvis and Graceland at www.AmazingGracelandContest.com, ends this Saturday, April 7.  Allen will announce the winner on Friday, April 13, during George Klein’s “Elvis Hour” radio show on Sirius XM.  Since the contest began on Jan. 8, Allen has appeared on the program numerous times to read some of the thousands of entries she has received online and through the mail.

“The response to our ‘Amazing Graceland’ contest has exceeded all of our expectations,” says Allen.  “It just goes to show you how timeless and iconic Elvis Presley remains in this country and in our culture.  As a Memphis native, I am a devoted Elvis fan, and it was his spirit that moved me to write “Amazing Graceland.” I never thought it would take on a life of its own the way it has, though!  The number of letters and emails we’ve received just floors me!”

Allen wrote “Amazing Graceland” after visiting Elvis’ famed Graceland mansion in 2009.  The powerful tribute song is the opening track on her 2011 Delta Rock Records release, Hear Me Now, and has become one of the multi-talented singer’s favorite songs to perform live.  Watch Allen’s moving “Amazing Graceland” video here.

The Amazing Graceland Contest grand prize winner and a guest will receive roundtrip airfare and three night’s hotel accommodations, admission to select Elvis Week 35th anniversary events and attractions in Memphis (Aug. 15-17 only), an autographed copy of Allen’s latest album, Hear Me Now, and a special meet-and-greet and dinner with the Grammy-nominated performer.

Deborah Allen Releases Children’s Christmas Book, “The Loneliest Christmas Tree”

Deborah Allen Releases Children’s Christmas Book, “The Loneliest Christmas Tree”


Inspirational story written 25 years ago, newly illustrated by Molly Brooks

(Nashville, Tenn. – Oct. 3, 2011) Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and performer Deborah Allen has released her first book, a children’s Christmas story titled “The Loneliest Christmas Tree.”

Originally written by Allen in 1986 but unreleased until now, “The Loneliest Christmas Tree” officially marks the multi-talented musical performer’s debut as an author.  The 54-page, hardcover book tells the inspirational story of a solitary Christmas tree facing the threat of urban development and the unlikely hero that comes to its defense.

“The idea for this book first came to me many years ago,” says Allen.  “I was writing every day, anxious to see what was going to develop next in the story.  It was around this same time that I had forged a friendship with a local Nashville woman who happened to be living on the streets.  The character in the book, Christmas Carole, is named after that woman, and she turns out to be the hero in the story.  Unfortunately, she passed away several years ago.  I wrote ‘The Loneliest Christmas Tree’ to communicate that anything is possible.  We all have the capability to move mountains, even when it seems all hope may be lost.”

Allen teamed up with artist Molly Brooks, daughter of Country music superstar Kix Brooks, to design and illustrate the “The Loneliest Christmas Tree.”

“I am so proud of all the wonderful illustrations created by Molly Brooks,” says Allen.  “Her brilliant eye and artistic hand truly brought my story to life!  When I discovered that Molly was born the same year I wrote this book – and coincidentally on Christmas Eve – I knew it was a sign that she was meant to be a part of ‘The Loneliest Christmas Tree.’  She did an incredible job, and every single page is beautiful!”

Allen is signing copies of “The Loneliest Christmas Tree” and performing a short acoustic concert Oct. 25 at 6:30 p.m. at the Southern Living Showcase Home in Brentwood, Tenn., to benefit Ronald McDonald House.  Visit www.CastleHomes.com for more information and to purchase tickets.  Allen is also appearing Dec. 3 at 1 p.m. at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville for a book signing and meet-and-greet event.  Visit www.CountryMusicHallofFame.org for more information.

“The Loneliest Christmas Tree” is now available in stores and at online retailers such as BarnesandNoble.com, BooksAMillion.com, ChristianBook.com and Amazon.com.  It is also available for the Nook eBook reader.  “The Loneliest Christmas Tree” is published by Carpenter’s Son Publishing (ISBN: 978-0983557111).

Allen released her most recent album, Hear Me Now, on Aug. 16.  It includes her current Country single, “Anything Other Than Love,” and the Elvis-inspired ballad, “Amazing Graceland.”  Allen produced nine of the album’s 12 tracks, which incorporate elements of Country, Rock, Pop, Blues and Gospel.

Hear Me Now is available at retail stores and through all major digital outlets, including iTunes, Amazon, Napster and Rhapsody.  The album was released in a joint venture with Nashville-based digital label, GMV Nashville.

Memphis Native Deborah Allen Confirmed For Multiple Appearances During Elvis Week, Aug. 10-16


Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter wows Elvis fans around the globe with “Amazing Graceland” tribute from new album, Hear Me Now

(Nashville, Tenn. – Aug. 9, 2011) Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter/performer Deborah Allen is confirmed for multiple appearances during Memphis’ historic Elvis Week, held Aug. 10-16, after her “Amazing Graceland” tribute video was featured on the front page at Elvis.com.

Allen is performing Sunday, Aug. 14, at George Klein’s Memphis Mafia Reunion at 4:30 p.m. (Alfred’s, 197 Beale St.) and at the Graceland Pavilion at 7 p.m CDT.  She will also appear on SiriusXM’s “The Elvis Hour,” broadcast during the Candlelight Vigil on Monday, Aug. 15, at 8 p.m.  Other appearances will be posted as they are confirmed at Allen’s website, www.DeborahAllen.com.

“Amazing Graceland” has received thousands of views and positive comments from around the world on the official Elvis Presley website (www.Elvis.com) and Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/Elvis).  The song is included on Allen’s latest album, Hear Me Now, which is officially released on Tuesday, Aug. 16.

Allen wrote “Amazing Graceland” as a tribute to Presley after her first visit to Elvis’ Graceland mansion in 2009, though Allen’s connection to The King goes back to her childhood days.  A Memphis native, Allen’s parents designed the interior of Elvis’ tour bus, and as little girls Deborah and her sister would often camp out inside the blue velvet and gold-decorated vehicle.  Allen would later become a WHBQtie on Memphis DJ George Klein’s popular television program.  Klein is hosting the Memphis Mafia Reunion on Aug. 14, which each year brings former friends and associates of Elvis’ together to share stories and reflect on their experiences with the legendary artist.

“I could feel Elvis’ spirit in every room,” says Allen of the visit to Graceland that inspired her moving tribute.  “I was so moved.  On the way back to Nashville, the one word that kept going through my head was ‘amazing.’  As soon as I walked in my back door, I went straight to the piano and began writing this song as a tribute for the international legend, my hometown hero and the beautiful place he called home.”

Hear Me Now
includes Allen’s current single, the danceable Country-shuffle “Anything Other Than Love,” which continues its steady climb up the Music Row chart.  The 12 songs on the album reflect Allen’s overall versatility as a singer and songwriter, as well as her trademark ability to incorporate elements of Country, Blues, Pop, Rock and Gospel into her music.  Allen also produced nine of the album’s 12 tracks.

Hear Me Now will be available Aug. 16 at retail stores and through all major digital outlets, including iTunes, Amazon, Napster, Rhapsody and more.  The album is released in a joint venture with Nashville-based digital label, GMV Nashville.

About The Artists:

Deborah Allen – Deborah Allen is best known for her Grammy-nominated smash, “Baby I Lied,” but this singer/songwriter/producer’s career has been bolstered with numerous hits on the Pop and Country charts: “Rock Me,” “I’ve Been Wrong Before,” “I Hurt For You” and plenty of others.  Deborah’s new album (out this summer) features her signature sound of Country, Blues, Pop and Rock influences – delivered in a way that only this sultry Delta singer from Memphis can.  The first single is a fun-loving, funky Country shuffle called “Anything Other Than Love.”  www.DeborahAllen.com

Lacy Green – North Carolina native Lacy Green was exposed at an early age to the Country, Bluegrass and Folk music that dominated her local music scene.  Her 2011 debut single, “For the Summertime,” reflects those influences admirably in a warm, Alison Krauss-inspired sound.  The 21-year-old college student and singer is currently busy recording her debut album in Nashville with renowned producer and songwriter Ronnie Bowman.  “For the Summertime” is due at Country radio in June, with an EP release scheduled for this fall.  www.LacyGreen.com

Adam Gregory – This Edmonton, Alberta native secured his first record deal at age 13 and was a Gold-selling artist in Canada by the time he moved to Nashville in 2007.  He released his U.S. debut single, “Crazy Days,” in 2008 and followed up the Top 30 Music Row effort with the ballad, “What It Takes.”  In 2010, he starred in the film “What Would Jesus Do?” with John Schneider.  Currently, Adam is splitting his time between Edmonton and Nashville, where he is writing material with a number of prominent, chart-topping songwriters in preparation for his next project.  www.AdamGregory.com

Amber Hayes – Amber Hayes had a breakout year in 2010 with her Top 40 debut single, “C’mon.”  Her follow-up, “Wait,” is currently climbing the charts and closing in fast on another Top 40 appearance.  Award-winning director Steven Goldmann shot the video for “Wait,” which world-premiered on Yallwire.com on May 13.  This Oklahoma native and former theater star is as genuine as they come and one of those rare artists today that can make radio-friendly Country music without straying too far from tradition.  Her debut EP was released through FUNL Music in September 2010.  www.AmberHayesMusic.com

Ty Herndon - Ty Herndon’s latest album, the Country/Christian/Bluegrass-inspired Journey On, earned the chart-topping Country singer a Grammy nomination in 2011 and a Dove Award in 2010.  The title track was also selected as the signature song for the Kevin Turner Foundation.  Turner is an ex-NFL player recently diagnosed with ALS, and after hearing “Journey On,” Turner and Herndon agreed that it was the perfect song to help raise awareness in the fight against ALS.  Both Ty and Kevin have been chosen as co-chairs in this year’s national ALS Therapy Alliance/CVS campaign, featured in 7,400 stores across the country.  Ty is currently working on a new, 100% Country effort and preparing to release a new single later in 2011.  www.TyHerndon.com

Rachel Holder – Eighteen-year-old Rachel Holder possesses the kind of voice that makes an immediate impression.   For the past several months, Rachel has been working in the studio on her debut album with industry vet and respected producer Chuck Howard.  The first single, “Chocolate,” is currently at Country radio and is already making a connection with female listeners.  Rachel also released a special holiday track and video in December for her cover of “Christmas Eve.”  Rachel’s debut album is due out later this year on All Entertainment.  www.RachelHolder.com

DJ Miller – DJ Miller is grabbing Country radio’s attention with his most recent single, “Whatever It Takes.”  The heartfelt track earned the singer his first Top 40 single on the Billboard Country Indicator, Aircheck Activator and Music Row charts.  This 21-year-old from Idaville, Indiana, is known for his entertaining stage show, and with a new album ready for release this summer, he’ll be on the road bringing that show to Country music fans everywhere.  DJ’s debut single in 2010 was the up-tempo party track, “A Little Naughty Is Nice.” DJ is gearing up for his next release, “Between Sundays,” which will be at radio in the coming weeks.  www.DJMillerCountry.com

Margaret Phillips – Newcomer Margaret Phillips has the voice to match her striking looks.  At nearly six feet tall, the model-esque Phillips is certainly a compelling presence on stage, but this Mississippi native is more than just another pretty face.  Discovered by Grammy-nominated artist Deborah Allen, the two women have been writing material for Margaret’s debut album, due out in 2011.  The bluesy, soulful influences of her upbringing are balanced nicely with her affection for Country acts like Sugarland, Lee Ann Womack and Loretta Lynn.  Produced by Allen, the project’s first single is expected this summer. www.MargaretPhillipsMusic.com
