Luke Releases An iTunes Exclusive "Spring Break With All My Friends" EP
Nashville, TN � March 3, 2009 � Luke Bryan has a big blowout Miller Lite-sponsored spring break concert scheduled at Spinakers Beach Club in Panama City, FL on Tuesday March 10 and plans to release an iTunes exclusive �Spring Break With All My Friends� on the same day. He will move the release party to the Daytona Beach Hilton (Band Shell on the beach) in Daytona on March 12. The iTunes exclusive �Spring Break With All My Friends� EP includes not only a special acoustic version of his top 5 debut smash �All My Friends Say,� but two songs he wrote specially to perform in all the college towns he plays throughout the year � �Take My Drunk Ass Home� and �Sorority Girls.�
The latter two songs are so popular on college campuses that the demand from fans has spurred this iTunes exclusive EP to come together on the same day he plays the big spring break mecca Panama City, FL on March 10 as well as the concert party in Daytona two days later.
To keep his college fans engaged, Bryan is running a �Spring Break With All My Friends� texting contest where he will perform a show in the winning college town and the winning sorority with the most texts will receive 100 free tickets. For more information and how to enter the contest click HERE.
�As a Georgia Southern Sigma Chi alumni I can guarantee you I�ve been to a spring break party or two, but this is going to be THE best time I think I�ve ever had on spring break � and I�m not even school anymore!� laughs Luke Bryan. �This Panama City show coupled with being able to release this Spring Break Party Pack on iTunes on the same day is such a great opportunity to give my fans what they have been asking me for for months and months � these two fun crazy college songs �Take My Drunk Ass Home� and �Sorority Girls� that I wrote really just to play in these college markets. Who knew the demand for these songs would lead to this?��
