RCA Nashville’s groundbreaking DJ/remixer/producer DEE JAY SILVER recently launched a new weekly syndicated country radio show called “The Country Club with Dee Jay Silver.” The show features up-tempo mixes and mash-ups of hits from country music’s biggest stars and newcomers, with an infusion of unique rhythms and occasional tracks from other genres. Over 30 markets including some of the leading country radio stations across America are already on board. The show takes over the airwaves on Saturday nights generally from 7pm-12am. SILVER recently spoke with Billboard.com about his new radio show; check out that interview here. A full list of stations currently spinning “The Country Club with Dee Jay Silver” can be found here.

In other exciting news, SILVER is currently on tour with Brad Paisley as part of his “Country Nation World Tour presented by KRAFT Cheese.” The Nashville-based DJ performs alongside Paisley, within his headlining set, and offers country music fans a unique experience. Each night the two battle it out, turntables vs. guitar. Check out a video that recently surfaced of their musical duel: http://youtu.be/HSr7vLvoSc4. The tour–also featuring Randy Houser, Charlie Worsham and Leah Turner–runs all summer long. SILVER is also on tap to perform alongside Paisley at several festivals, including The Country Fest and Taste of Country Music Festival this weekend. Additionally, SILVER has been added to the lineup for the Faster Horses Festival July 18-20 and will perform in between main stage acts and host post-concert parties each night. All SILVER tour dates are listed below and for links to purchase tickets visit www.deejaysilver.com/index.php/schedule.html.

Last week SILVER took Nashville by storm, making several appearances and performances at venues all over town as part of the CMA Music Festival. He kicked off the week with a free DJ set at Whiskey Jam on Monday, June 2 featuring performances from Brothers Osborne, Blackjack Billy and others. On Tuesday (6/3) he kept the crowd going at Music City Gives Back in between sets from Rodney Atkins, Lee Brice, Jana Kramer, Dustin Lynch and Josh Thompson. Wednesday (6/4) began by attending and walking the red carpet at the CMT Music Awards at Bridgestone Arena and wrapped up with a set at Tracy Lawrence’s Street Party in the parking lot at Loser’s Bar & Grill. On Friday (6/6) SILVER spun at the HGTV Lodge in Fan Alley for the second consecutive year. On Saturday (6/7), he had a full day which began bright and early at the City of Hope celebrity softball game where SILVER and his Team Opry teammates including Jamie Lynn Spears, Scotty McCreery, Jana Kramer, and Lauren Alaina sweated out a 13-11 victory while helping out a wonderful cause. Following the game, SILVER completed a couple autograph signings at the Music City Center in Downtown Nashville, performed at Tyler Farr’s fan club party at the Omni Hotel and concluded a successful CMA Music Fest week with a massive blowout headlining show Saturday night at the Hard Rock Café.

In a piece titled “Country Music Opens Its Ears,” the New York Times recently recognized the growing trend of country artists incorporating new sounds–hip-hop, pop, rock, dance–into their music. SILVER has been at the forefront of this movement for many years and was interviewed for the multi-page spread in the Sunday edition of the paper. Writer Jon Caramanica attended one of SILVER’s shows at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row where he has an ongoing monthly residency and noted, “At this club, he treated country like any other genre — mixing it seamlessly with mainstream hip-hop and dance hits. Modern country, with its heavy bass thump and rapped verses, fits neatly into this paradigm, but he also displayed how older songs, like ‘Boot Scootin’ Boogie’ by Brooks & Dunn and Garth Brooks’s ‘Friends in Low Places,’ were just as friendly to the dance floor. This is mainstream country now — nightclubs, spring break, college parties, city life.” (5/25/14). Read the full article online here and watch a video segment on SILVER here.

2013 was also a big year for SILVER. Summer 2013 marked the release of his EP Country Club (RCA Nashville) which features creative and rhythmic country mash-ups of some of the format’s most popular and beloved stars, including Alabama, Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Jake Owen, and Love and Theft.
