International Country Artist Rodrigo Haddad Named Ambassador, Releases New Album
The award, presented by the International Country Music Day Organization (www.ICMDAY.org), named Haddad and international promoter Judy Seale as the two Ambassadors for 2008 on Sept. 17.
“I’m so happy to receive this award. It’s an honor and will only inspire me to work harder,” said Haddad.
The rising Latin American star also recently released his sophomore album, From Brazil to TN, which took nearly two years to complete. The recording process began in Sao Paulo, Brazil, but eventually moved to Nashville, TN, where Haddad finished the album at County Q Studios. Eleven of the album’s fourteen tracks were written by Haddad.
“My new album is a dream come true,” he said. “Recording in Nashville is a unique experience and I’m really proud of the way it turned out. It’s a big step in my career.”
Haddad will perform a handful of dates in Nashville in support of From Brazil to TN in November.
Tuesday, 11/04/08 – Cadillac Ranch
