Intermission at the VERSUS Invitational presented by Amp’d Mobile, the first event of the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) 2007 Built Ford Tough Series presented by Wrangler season, will feature country music star Clay Walker performing several hits. Walker’s concert will take place during the PBR’s 8:00 performance on Saturday, January 6th at Madison Square Garden.
This performance will air on NBC on Sunday, January 7th at 2:30 p.m. ET.
As a recording artist who has sold millions of albums Walker says his latest album due out in March is his best work to date. The first released single, Fore She Was Mama, is currently Top 30 with its music video in rotation at CMT and GAC. Walker has earned four platinum albums and two gold albums that sold more than eight million copies combined. Just a few of Walker’s 11 number one singles have been Live Until I Die, If I Could Make a Living, This Woman, Then What and the most recent, Chain of Love. www.claywalker.com
With the talented artists that are in today’s country music arena, it is no small feat that Walker is one of the few artists to have one of his songs included in the Billboard’s year-end Top 10 Country List for five years in a row. In addition, Walker has been one of the country’s top 10 grossing touring acts several times. As a singer and a songwriter, Walker has become one of the longer lasting staples of country music, turning out hit songs that have endured for years.
“Clay Walker is an extremely talented artist whose music is perfectly aligned with the PBR demographic,” says Randy Bernard, CEO of the Professional Bull Riders, Inc. “It will be a special treat for PBR fans attending the Madison Square Garden event to see Clay perform songs from his new album.”
