Stephanie Smith, Daisy Rock Guitars and HearItFirst.com Team Up for a Guitar Giveaway

Nashville, TN. – Stephanie Smith and HearItFirst.com have joined forces with Daisy Rock Guitars for a guitar giveaway contest. To enter, fans simply need to go to HearItFirst.com and register. http://www.hearitfirst.com/stephaniesmithguitar The contest runs between now and March 20, 2009.

Evident in her songs “Live Out Loud” and “Superstar”, Stephanie’s heart is to encourage young girls to be strong in their beliefs and to fearlessly live out the dreams that God has given each of us individually.

Stephanie is understandably excited about the contest. “When we found out that we would be able to empower a girl somewhere to find her voice, and start playing a great guitar that is specifically made to fit a girl’s frame, it just felt like an incredible gift. I truly hope the winner of the contest will be inspired to start playing the guitar and boldly live!”

“From first listen, Stephanie Smith caught my attention. Her heart-felt, yet strong vocals, mixed with a true sense of musicality delivers a killer combination. We are so excited to have such a talented, empowered female as an endorsee and spokesperson for Daisy Rock Guitars,” explains Tish Ciravolo, Founder and President of Daisy Rock Guitars.

“When Daisy Rock agreed to do this contest with Stephanie, HearItFirst.com was the first media outlet that came to mind.  They were excited about the possibilities,” states Glenda McNalley of The Select Artist Group. “HearItFirst.com has been a great support of a new artist like Stephanie, and combined with their unprecedented reach into the market, we knew this contest would be an inspiration to an aspiring young musician.”

Stephanie is spending each weekend performing on the hugely popular Winter Jam 2009 Tour Spectacular, and she is the HearItFirst.com’s exclusive “roving reporter” for all Winter Jam video coverage on the site. Stephanie’s Winter Jam videos can be seen at JamTour.com
