GET THE WIDGET ENTER HERE! Country Music Artist Laura Bryna Joins with Southern Beauty Magazine In Nationwide Search for Five American ‘Hometown Heroes’

Winners to Receive Trip to Los Angeles this August for Concert Event at House of Blues Honoring Special Women of the Air Guard
Laura Bryna always appreciated the hard work and bravery that men and women from the U.S. military put into their daily work. She discovered hundreds of them after she co-wrote the single ‘Hometown Heroes’ and had it “adopted” by the Air National Guard as their campaign song. Now Bryna is embarking on another mission – to find and honor five unsung ‘Hometown Heroes’ through a nationwide search created by Bryna and Southern Beauty magazine.
America’s Search for ‘Hometown Heroes’ is a joint effort between Bryna, the petite brunette with the powerhouse vocals whose CD – ‘Trying to be Me’ – debuted in 2008, and Southern Beauty, the national women’s beauty and lifestyle magazine now in its second year.
ABOUT THE CONTEST:
By logging on to www.southernbeautymag.com or www.laurabryna.com, men and women 21 and over may nominate the hero of their choice by filling out a brief questionnaire or creating a short video that can be uploaded to a central site where fans can weigh in with their own comments. The contest, up now, runs through June 15 with winners announced on July 4. Five winners will receive a roundtrip flight to L.A. along with hotel accommodations and invitation to a special ‘Hometown Heroes’ event and Laura Bryna concert August 10 at the famous House of Blues in Hollywood. Attending will be members of the Air Guard along with some special Women of the Air Guard who are to be featured (along with Bryna) in the summer issue of Southern Beauty.
Bryna has been singing about the hometown heroes of the Air Guard since the single and video were released late last year – both reflect the civilian and military sides of such men and women.
“Recording ‘Hometown Heroes’ and then getting to see how these brave men and women sacrifice really made me appreciate what they do,” says Bryna. “And this national search we’re doing with Southern Beauty is a way for us to showcase five people who selflessly give back in amazing ways. There are everyday heroes in America doing wonderful things that often go unnoticed. They could be anyone, from an airline pilot or a firefighter to a teacher, physician, scientist, or volunteer for some worthy cause. We thought this search would be a way to honor those who truly make a difference.”
“Most of us can think of several people we know that we’d consider hometown heroes,” adds Shannon Lindsay, founder and publisher of Southern Beauty. “Our magazine tries to emphasize the inner beauty as much as what people see on the outside. Likewise, we feel that the special hometown heroes out there carry their goodness inside and out – for them, it’s all about taking action.”

This location is home to unique pieces of art and architecture, such as work by Alan Sainte James Boudrot and our Jake and Elwood movable bars. The Sunset Strip venue is covered in tin from a gin mill that was just 500 feet away from the Delta crossroads — the mystical field where Robert Johnson created his famous partnership with the Devil for his soul. Notable acts that have played House of Blues Sunset Strip include the last live performance by Tupac Shakur and Prince with Maceo Parker. In keeping with tradition, the House of Blues Sunset Strip displays the "Crazy Quilt" and keeps a metal box of mud from the Delta Mississippi underneath its stage.
