Classic Country Industry to Reclaim Legacy Brand Without Nashville

HillbilliesVille to Inject New Brand and Texas Headquarters Into County Music Industry


LEBANON, TN--(Marketwire - Mar 6, 2013) - HillbilliesVille™, an entertainment platform providing tenured solutions for the country music industry, today announced the launch of its new brand based in Fort Worth, Texas as an online business solution for the resurgence and revitalization of the classic country music industry, nationwide. As part of its commitment since 2009, HillbilliesVille is making available for the first time a unified, online solution for talent discovery, artist development content creation, content distribution and monetization. The HillbilliesVille platform includes live video streaming, mobile apps and on demand video portal via Roku for North America, Australia and the United Kingdom markets.

The HillbilliesVille brand has been established as the premier online resource to bring back classic country music without the over-hyped efforts of today's mainstream Nashville influence. The traditional country rockabilly, western swing, hillbilly, honky tonk, bush ballard's bluegrass, country western, outlaw country and contemporary niches of the country genre unite as true country under the new brand, HillbilliesVille.

Nashville, Tennessee, while initially claiming fame with over five decades of Billboard success, is being pushed aside, with a revolution against Nashwood Pop. Such a progressive effort will lay the groundwork for a separation between mainstream Nashwood Pop from classic, country legacy. HillbilliesVille delivers an online social community for new artists providing low-cost alternatives for management, booking, fan generation, technology solutions, product creation and distribution.

"Our new brand aims to battle the Nashville Pop reputation, paving the way for classic styles to make a resurgence under a new model, built for today's market and with new consumer trends and goals," states Kevin Kiepe, executive chairman, Global Village Entertainment, Inc. and HillbilliesVille. "If we can inject real country and today's modern advances back in to country music and work together to win, artists' passion will resonate globally."

HillbilliesVille will continue its organic business development through its June 13, 2013 re-launch in Fort Worth, Texas, providing new and established artists with management, booking, branding, technology, marketing and merchandise services while providing a platform that enables the distribution and revenue side of the business.
