The Superstar Personally Holds Scavenger Hunts for Free Tickets

on Each Tour Stop and “Tweets” Clues

 

Nashville, TN (March 24, 2010) – Multi-platinum selling recording artist Martina McBride is the first to admit that the life of a superstar isn’t always glamorous but that doesn’t stop her from taking her fans “into the action,” whether it be to a monthly marketing meeting, a more exciting behind the scenes look at a shoot for her latest music video, or one of a kind backstage access on the “Shine All Night” tour. McBride doesn’t just take the fans to the action but encourages them to be a part of it, whether it be via Twitter, her current Myspace karaoke competition or other online contests.

Myspace.com and McBride have teamed up to give fans the chance to karaoke for the superstar. The competition allows fans to belt out songs from Shine, including her current Top 20 single, “Wrong, Baby, Wrong,” as well as McBride classics, including “This One’s For The Girls.”  Myspace.com will narrow down the entries to 20 and McBride will pick the winner, who gets travel and accommodations to meet the superstar and check out the “Shine All Night” tour stop in Altanta, GA on May 1. Fans can log on tohttp://ksolo.myspace.com/music/Martina-McBride to hit McBride with their best shot.

Fans that aren’t so eager to sing for the superstar, can simply follow McBride on Twitter for more ticket giveaways.  McBride gives fans the chance to win tickets for each show via a Twitter scavenger hunt.  She personally hides the tickets with a hand-written note on the day of the show and the hunt begins. McBride tweets clues for the location of the tickets until they are found.  Winners are encouraged to tweet a photo of themselves with the tickets.

“The Twitter ticket hunt is a really fun way to connect with the fans in each city and we have a blast doing it,” says McBride. “I tweet the clues myself so it’s really cool to see the winners in the front row. Sometimes they even bring the envelope and wave and say thanks!”

“Martina Moments” have been taking fans “behind the curtain” since May 2009 and the fun continues this week as fans get a backstage look at how McBride prepares for her show with the “Dance Party” episode. It will be available on Thursday at www.MartinaMcBride.com <http://www.MartinaMcBride.com>. Other moments, including a visit to McBride’s hometown, McBride onstage with Kid Rock and behind the scenes at the video shoot for “Wrong, Baby, Wrong” can be found on her site as well.  New moments are added weekly.

 

Fans can chat with McBride tomorrow evening at 7:00 pm central. Fan club members can log on to ask questions on her website and everyone can view the web chat at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/martina-mcbride-live-chat
