Sweetwater Rain Makes Generous Contribution to ACM Lifting Lives®
NASHVILLE, TN (May 30, 2014) – Rising Country music trio Sweetwater Rain recently presented ACM Lifting Lives® with a generous $10,000 donation – the second $10,000 donation the band has given to the charitable arm of the Academy of Country Music in the past year. ACM Lifting Lives President, Lori Badgett, accepted the gift on behalf of the charity.
“ACM Lifting Lives brings the power and impact of music to people who need it through amazing programs,” said Sweetwater Rain’s lead singer, Danny Rivera. “We are so happy to be able to help in their efforts.”
Following their Top 50 Billboard hit “Starshine,” Sweetwater Rain is currently promoting their sophomore Country single “Tailspin” to radio. This catchy, up-tempo song is already receiving rave reviews from Country radio and media alike:
"The rockin' tune samples Rascal Flatts and a little bit of that Hunter Hayes charm, but is neatly wrapped in the trio's own groovy style.This new radio-friendly pop-leaning tune is sure to get Music Row's undivided attention."- Jason Scott, Reporter at Nashville Gab
“Tailspin” is now available on iTunes HERE along with all other respected online retailers.
