Shawna Storms Nashville to Shoot Footage for Reality Television Series Pilot

NASHVILLE, TN (January 18, 2012) - Way Out  West Records' artist, Shawna Russell, visited  Nashville recently on a whirlwind songwriting and  promotional trip that was filmed for a reality  television series that is being developed by  Dallas-based CRM Studios.


The as-yet-untitled series will focus on Russell's life as  an independent female recording artist who performs  over 100 dates a year with her band, traveling in a  vintage Silver Eagle bus once owned by music  icon, Willie Nelson.

Highlights of Russell's Nashville trip included a co-  writing session with award-winning songwriter, Regie  Hamm ("The Time Of My Life," #1 single by  American Idol winner David Cook), performances at Country Weekly magazine and Country Aircheck, plus interviews for Billboard and the syndicated television series, Inside Music Row. Russell was followed every step of the way by noted Nashville videographer Mark Nicolosi (Stealing Angels, Mark Wills).

Additional footage will also be filmed when Russell headlines in concert at the Waxahachie Texas Theater in Waxahachie, TX, on Saturday, January 21.

Russell, a high-profile independent artist with a reputation as a tireless performer, is currently promoting her latest single, "Waitin' On Sunrise," from her critically acclaimed self-titled sophomore album. Signed to Way Out West Records, a label that she co-owns, Russell has successfully promoted 7 singles from two albums, charting nationally on the MusicRow, Billboard "New and Active" and Texas Music charts, and internationally on the Hotdisc and New Christian Music charts. Russell's videos have received widespread airplay at The Country Network, GACTV.com, CMT.com, and Yallwire, among others.
