The Singer, Songwriter, and Country Music Superstar wows a sell-out crowd while backed by a full 17-piece band

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DALLAS (July 12, 2007) - When HDNet presents "Vince Gill and Friends Live at the Ryman" this Sunday night, viewers will be treated to two hours of the greatest hits and some brand new music from this 18-time Grammy Award winner.

Gill, who has also won 18 Country Music Awards, plays popular songs from his huge catalog of hits including "One More Last Chance", "I Still Believe in You", and "When I Call Your Name". He also performs music from his latest album, the masterpiece 43-song, 4 CD set, "These Days".

"Vince Gill is a country music legend," said Mark Cuban, president and co-founder of HDNet. "To catch him playing in this legendary location makes the concert even more special. We're excited to bring it to our viewers!"

This two-hour concert was shot in April of this year over two sold out nights at the Ryman Auditorium, a National Historic Landmark in Nashville, TN. Country legends Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash and Hank Williams, Sr. once graced the stage of this national landmark, which was once home to the Grand Ole Opry.
