Country music's hottest rising star, Ashley Gearing, has been invited to perform at the star-studded 'Celebrate Tennessee' fundraiser for Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium Tuesday, September 12, at 7:30 p.m. Gearing will join Country superstar Tim McGraw, "Nashville Star" judge and Music Row entrepreneur Anastasia Brown, former Tennessee Titan Runningback, Eddie George, and others in the fundraiser for the Governor's re-election campaign.
Gearing, whose debut album, 'Maybe It's Time,' was recently released, was recognized by ASCAP amongst a handful of rising new stars to watch, Gearing has the distinction of breaking the 46-year record set by Brenda Lee three years ago as the youngest female to enter Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart with her hit, 'Can You Hear Me When I Talk to You.'
