Rocketown recording artist Shaun Groves recently was noted to have an award-winning blog by TennesseeBloggers.com. Groves' blog, or Shlog as he calls it (readshlot.blogspot.com), launched in early May 2005 and is already receiving 5,000 hits per month while finding fans as diverse as Nashville media's News 2 (http://www.news2wkrn.com/nit/archives/2005/05/do_you_need_a_r.html) and readers from as far away as Germany, Singapore, Norway and Australia.

"Thanks to the folks at TennesseeBloggers.com," said Groves. "I was starting to think I was the Susan Lucci of Christian Music - always nominated, never winning. Thanks for ending the losing streak guys and salvaging my self-esteem."

Groves latest CD, White Flag, releases July 12, and he will be headlining a tour this fall with opening acts Kendall Payne and Jason Morant. Details on cities and venues to be announced soon.
