Bridgette Tatum and co-producer Danny Myrick recorded Tatum’s debut album, Sex, Church & Chicken, at The Studio in The Palms casino in Las Vegas, christening the studio as the first country act to ever record there. The 11 tracks reflect Tatum’s many personalities, effortlessly transitioning from defiant, amped-up rockers to tender, intimate ballads to straight-shooting social commentaries. Sex, Church & Chicken will be released by Root 49 Records in 2010.
About Bridgette Tatum:
The firecracker brunette was raised on the tent revival brand of soul-shaking gospel, swirling with the Holy Spirit and saturated with raw passion. Music coursed through her veins, seeping deep into her bones, and manifesting as the powerful sultry wailing and soulful crooning that brand Bridgette’s sound uniquely as her own. Bridgette moved to Nashville and worked her way up to the honky-tonks on Broadway and a regular Friday night gig at the Star Café in White’s Creek. It wasn’t until she found a kindred spirit in manager Carolyn Miller, however, that her career began to really take shape.
It was through the encouragement of Carolyn, that Bridgette collaborated musically with the man whom came to be her future producer, Danny Myrick. Their partnership proved as successful in songwriting: they co-wrote “She’s Country,” a #1 hit for Jason Aldean, as well as many of the songs on Bridgette’s forthcoming album, Sex, Church & Chicken. Bridgette is currently touring the country promoting her debut single, "(I Like My) Cowboys Dirty."
