Bidens turn their place pink for Komen celebration
"Country singer Candy Coburn (pictured, right, with Carol), wearing the best shoes of the night — suede, fuchsia platforms with zippers — posed gamely in front of the VP’s house before heading back to her hotel room for the evening. “I’ve got to get up at 6!” to join Jill Biden, Komen’s founder and CEO Nancy Brinker, and 40,000 others for the 5K run around the Washington mall, Coburn said. Afterward, Coburn performed her new single, Pink Warrior, to the crowd. She’s donating all of the royalties to the cause."

Candy in IndyCar Star Sarah Fisher's New Book
"Having the opportunity to use my book as a vehicle to share advice to others not only through my eyes but through the eyes of so many other pioneering women was truly humbling," continued Fisher, whose own mother, Reba Fisher, contributed to a section of the book about raising your child to be a success. "So many pioneering women helped us put a unique spin on the book and for that, I'm very thankful."

Those women include, actress Ashley Judd, Coca-Cola marketing executive Bea Perez, LPGA tour player Jill McGill, Wellpoint CEO and Indianapolis resident Angela Braly, musician Candy Coburn, ESPN on ABC reporter Jamie Little, and NHRA Funny Car drag racer Ashley Force Hood.

Country Music's Tiger: Candy Coburn, a "Big Dream in a Little Town"
"The Millers recall Coburn’s performance in the musical Nunsense where she played the role of Sister Hubert. 'She brought down the house with her final song, “Holier Than Thou,” says Jim Miller.
'It was a gospel number, and she brought her amazingly powerful voice and country gospel roots to a stunning performance.'
'The crowd jumped up and roared,' says Marsha Miller. 'I knew I was in the presence of awesome talent. She had a rock/jazz kind of voice that was really huge.'"

"..'She looks magnificent now holding her green signature guitar in front of the big crowds and blasting away,' says Marsha Miller."

Candy Coburn readies for takeoff from ‘Nashville Star’ to Oklahoma State Fair
"Country rocker Candy Coburn...fueled by no-surrender spunk and the neighborly charm of the girl next door. Despite her easy looks and wide smile, she’s no delicate flower. Raised in Kentucky with a healthy dose of time in Texas, she’s equally at home in an ambling, big chorus country ballad or a dusty and rocky Texas throwdown...


...She has a voice to match her ambitions: strong, lean, proud and full of the same character she’s demonstrated across her career."

Review from Iowa State Fair w Brooks and Dunn

Newcomer Candy Coburn and her band kicked off the fair's first grandstand concert with 30 minutes of powerhouse vocals. When this rockin' country dynamo sings "I was born to be rowdy," you believe her.

Especially engaging were her anthem, "Pink Warrior," an homage to breast cancer patients and survivors, along with sneak previews of her upcoming album, including the lovely ballad "Don't Walk Away." The only downside to her live performance was the fact that her low notes couldn't cut through the amplification of the instrumentals. Her high notes rang loud and clear. You'll be hearing more from this firebrand.

This Country's Rockin'! The Candy Coburn Interview
The night before I had attended Candy’s showcase at the Exit/In, where she delivered a power soaked set of tunes and had the packed room in the very palm of her hand.

The first time I heard Candy play was at the Jam 4 George Benefit in Spartanburg, SC back in November of 2007. I had heard about her from our mutual friend George McCorkle, who had assured me that she was headed for the top with a bullet. After seeing her show at J4G I was convinced.

If that show was amazing, the show at Exit/In bordered on stellar. The young lady is not your typical Nashville singer. There’s nothing “cookie cutter” about her. She’s one part Melissa Etheridge, one part Loretta Lynn, with some Janis Joplin and Pat Benatar added in. She is not just a great singer/songwriter, she is an amazing performer.

"Honestly I want your whole team to know this: I have put on concerts with Travis Tritt, Trisha Yearwood, Little Texas, Marty Stuart, Blue Oyster Cult, Nazerath, Foghat and a host of others. The one thing I noticed was the personal touch and the team effort to make her appearance something special. I have never seen that much work put into an event with any of those acts that I just mentioned. The Publicity and Information was un-measured from your team and Candy.

Onward and upward!"

On the Covery - Candy Land!
You probably don’t know Candy Coburn yet, but you will soon. The talented and beautiful young artist is one of country music’s unique rising stars. She has the down-home country sensibilities any person who grew up spending time in Kentucky, Missouri, and Texas would possess, yet her style has some less-than-subtle hints of rock ’n’ roll poking through. It is not uncommon to hear her band play countrified versions of Bow Wow Wow’s “I Want Candy” or AC/DC’s “Back in Black” at the beginning of her shows, and you can always be assured she will have her custom-made green Carvin guitar strapped around her neck. She is energetic, infectious, and ready to invade the music world.

Rising Music Star to Perform in Hannibal
Owens feels fortunate to have Coburn as the feature attraction at the first concert he plans to bring to Hannibal.
“She will be a big star,” he said. “She’s one of the hardest working girls in country music. I was so excited when she told me she’d do it in May. She’s very, very talented.”
Music lovers never leave a Coburn concert disappointed, according to Owens, who has worked with the University of Missouri graduate before.
“When the show is over everybody says, ‘Man!’” he said.
