Easton Corbin continues a busy schedule this month promoting his forthcoming September 18 album release, All Over the Road.

On Sept. 13, Mercury Records held a reception for industry to celebrate Corbin’s sophomore album at Houston Station, tucked inside Nashville’s Wedgewood Houston Neighborhood.

Sponsored by Lucchese boots, the wine, ale, and moonshine lemonade bar paired well with a traditional Southern appetizer buffet, provided by Smoke Et Al mobile smokery food truck.

The event space was well decorated, thanks to GI brightidea event designers. Vintage windows hung from the wall, which framed a printout for all 11 tracks on the album, including a list of the songwriters. The seating was appropriately scattered around the elevated stage, allowed partygoers a chance to enjoy the ambiance even during the performance.

UMG President, Mike Dungan, welcomed the crowd for a Lucchese boot presentation to Corbin. Dungan invited Corbin to the stage, touting the singer’s previous consecutive No. 1 singles from his 2010 debut.

“I felt that not only am I competing against others who are out there, I’m competing against myself now,” said Corbin of the upcoming release.

The brief acoustic set included “A Thing For You,” written by Corbin, producer Carson Chamberlain and Tony Lane; “Are You With Me,” written by Tommy Lee James, Terry McBride and Shane McAnally; and Corbin’s current single, “Lovin’ You Is Fun,” written by Bob DiPiero and Jim Beavers.

Shortly after the industry event, Corbin headed across town to hold an outdoor CD party for free to the public at Losers Bar.

To support the release, Corbin is making appearances this evening (9/14) on GAC’s Top 20 Countdown. GAC will also air a special titled Introducing: Easton Corbin Sept. 16. On release day (9/18), Corbin will head to ABC’s Good Morning America to perform. Shortly after he will be featured on GAC’s On The Streets, at 10:00 am ET. The singer will also be featured on GAC Headline Country Sept. 20, and CMT Insider, Sept. 22.

Along with the album launch, Corbin announced his first-ever fan club, including a social community, exclusive behind the scenes photos and videos, presale ticketing, meet & greets, and merchandise promotions. Fans will have an opportunity to win a free membership with an album purchase.
