PRLog - Aug. 12, 2015 - Veteran country music star and personality, Joey Canyon announces The Joey Canyon Show will premiere on RFD-TV in early 2016. Hosted by Canyon, this exciting new half-hour country music and variety program is co-hosted by country music artist and producer Dean Miller, son of country music star Roger Miller.
The weekly show, which will originate out of Colorado, "where the music meets the mountains," said Canyon. The show will feature performances by A-list country artists as well as star interviews from Denver and Nashville. Special guests will join Canyon, including chart toppers such as Kix Brooks of Brooks and Dunn, Pam Tillis, Lorrie Morgan, and the award-winning band Highway 101, among others.
Describing his new venture into television, Mr. Canyon emphasized, “We are a contemporary version of a traditional old time variety show. Our show is music-driven but will also include man-on-the-street interviews, and guest appearances by well-known sports figures, and more. It’s a cross between The Dean Martin Show, The Jackie Gleason Show, The Glen Campbell Hour, and a dash of Hee-Haw.”
“I’m hoping The Joey Canyon Show is going to be an exciting representation of the country music tradition,” says co-host Dean Miller.
“Our recent move to Music Square West on Nashville’s Music Row is opening up opportunities for exciting new shows. New programs like The Joey Canyon Show help bring solid music and entertainment options to our viewers,” stated Patrick Gottsch, Founder & President of Rural Media Group.
The Joey Canyon Show will be produced and shot in Denver, the first of its kind to be created and produced in the state. “We want to meld Nashville and Hollywood together and let it come out of Denver as a musically wholesome show,” said Canyon. “We want to put Denver on the map that way. This is not a Hollywood glitz production. We want to be different. We want to make our own mark in Colorado.”
Curtis Stone, co-founder and award-winning bass player for the groundbreaking country group Highway 101, is the show’s music director, “in a kind of Paul Shaffer capacity,” said Stone. “I think the show’s going to be cool. It’s country-driven, an old-school style country show being re-grooved for contemporary audiences. It’s going to cover all the bases of old and new country.”
