BRAD COTTER FAN SHELLS OUT $5000 TO MEET HIM
Between his Nashville Star
win and his now growing recording career, Brad Cotter is building a serious following of avid fans, including one who was
willing to shell out $5,000 to get the VIP treatment to meet him on the Nashville Stars' tour. Her offer was to donate the
money to Brad's favorite charity and she ended up getting back stage at the Englewood, Colorado show recently. Shelley Tucker
got to meet all the Nashville Star finalists on tour, and St. Jude's Hospital got $5 thousand dollars.
NOTE: Later this week look for Brad Cotter to be profiled in a Nashville One-On-One article at GACtv.com.
In the feature, he explains that he became involved with St. Judes after the Nashville Star contestants visited the hospital
as part of the show's competition.
"Just to see how that staff (at St. Judes) reacted to every situation with those kids, whether we want to
admit it or not, some of those kids are never going to get to see the outside of that hospital again with their health. For
that staff, I didn't meet one solitary nurse or doctor or anybody on that staff all day that didn't love their job and didn't
look forward to coming to work and helping those kids and the research with all the other hospitals," Brad explains.
Brad's video for "I Meant To" is at #5 on GAC's viewer-voted "Top 20 Country Countdown."

BRAD COTTER ON HOW YOU MAKE A RECORD IN 3 WEEKS
Brad Cotter explains how
you make an album in three weeks after he won Nashville Star.
"I had no idea you could make a record in three weeks,"
says Brad Cotter.
"But, if Buddy (Jewell) could do it why not us, we tried anyway. "Luckily we had written a pool of songs
in the last couple of years so, it was sort of just cherry pickin' for us."
One of those cherry's, of course, was his debut
hit, "I Meant To."

May 29, 2004 The power of TV is again evident
as "Nashville Star" winner Brad Cotter's debut single quickly leaps up the Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. It entered
at No. 42, the highest debut for a new artist's first single in the Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems era. Like Buddy Jewell,
who won during the show's first season, Cotter has been singing demos around Nashville for years. He parlays that experience
into a smooth, self-assured vocal delivery on this ingratiating midtempo tune. Its theme? The importance of living life to
the fullest. Cotter's stellar performance drive the potent (and timely) lyrics home. A new Nashville star has indeed arrived.

More Brad News!
The new "Nashville Star" winner
had a busy weekend.
Saturday night marked his Grand Ole Opry
debut where he performed his
current single "I Meant To."
Several of Brad's friends came up
from his homestate of Alabama
for the performance and
Brad invited the group to stay the night
and make guest appearances in his first video.
The shoot took place in Nashville's Club NV
and was directed by the
award-winning Peter Zavadil.
The concept comes from
"a moment of reflection in which you realize
that you've got only one chance at life."
The video concentrated on Brad at the
center of a rowdy club party
and yet he's completely
alone in his thoughts.
Brad's friends report that he had
a hard time keeping the
thoughtful composure at the shoot
though because of all the
pretty girls on the set.
