Country Music Artist Laura Bryna to Perform at
Indianapolis Air Show Saturday, Aug. 23

(Nashville, Tenn.) – Equity Music Group recording artist Laura Bryna will perform at the upcoming Indianapolis Air Show on August 23, the first time this prestigious outdoor event has had a live music performance as part of its schedule. The 12th annual Indianapolis Air Show takes place August 22-24 at the Mount Comfort Airport in Indianapolis. Bryna hits the stage, located next to the Indy Aero building, at 5 p.m.

Recently named the voice and spokesperson for the Air Guard’s new major advertising campaign, Bryna just filmed the video for a new country song she co-wrote, “Hometown Heroes,” which honors Air Guard men and women who answer the call of duty to serve their communities and country. The song will become the official theme song of the Air Guard’s year-long radio and television ad campaign, meant to educate men and women about this branch of the military that supports the needs of the U.S. Air Force, aids communities in times of crisis and supports the nation’s Homeland Defense Department.

The Air Guard’s unique dual mission involves response to emergencies both at both the state level and nationwide. When natural disasters hit a state, the governor (or appropriate official) relies on the Air Guard to save lives, rescue neighbors and deliver critical supplies to those in need. Additionally, the Air Guard is relied on for federal missions, answering the President’s call for overseas humanitarian aid or support of our nation’s Homeland Defense efforts. Currently, there are over 140 Air Guard units in the United States and its territories.

“We are extremely excited to have Laura Bryna perform during this year’s Air Show,” said Bob Duncan, chairman of the 2008 charity event. “It will be a great concert and a great addition to the affordable, family fun!”

The Air Show, which draws about 100,000 people annually, will feature entertainment for the entire family, including the 50th anniversary NASA “Journey to Tomorrow” exhibit, wing walkers, stunt planes, a hot air “balloonathon,” Warbirds and additional military exhibits. Net proceeds benefit the Central Indiana Community Foundation – a foundation that has received more than $1.3 million for children’s charities from the Indianapolis Air Show since the show’s inception in 1997.

Discounted advance tickets for the 12th annual Indianapolis Air Show are now on sale for $17 for adults and $8 for children ages 6-12. These tickets are available for purchase at Marsh, O’Malia’s and United Package Liquors stores or online at www.indyairshow.com. Tickets will be available at the gate, but will increase to $20 for an adult ticket and $10 for a child.

Bryna’s debut CD from Equity Music Group, TRYING TO BE ME, is currently available in stores and online at iTunes. For more information, visit www.laurabryna.com or www.myspace.com/laurabryna.
