TheDavidBowersAwards presents David Martinez and Allyson Galloway

David Martinez returns to TheDavidBowersAwards ahead of Christmas with a surprise for us and his hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas. 'Christmas in Corpus Christi' is his first ever Christmas song and our first this year. It's destined to be a Corpus Christi classic. Allyson Galloway celebrates her first appearance on the show with two very deep and personal songs about her past and her entry into the music world. Allyson writes lyrics that belie her age and tell extremely personal, and sometime bitter stories. We also share a new release, BROKEN PIECES OF JOY from Olivia Millin, a nineteen-year-old Japanese girl who now calls Texas her home. Listen anytime on BlogTalkRadio and share the link with your friends so they can listen, too. http://tobtr.com/12384657 Follow this page for details and future shows.
