GARY ALLAN BRINGS HIGH-END FASHION TO NASHVILLE

By: admin Categories:News

by Marina Galperina - The Boot

Gary Allan has a surprise up his well-tailored sleeve! No longer will the men of Nashville need to trek to Los Angeles or New York City to dress themselves in cutting-edge fashion, similar to what the country star wears on stage. Gary has teamed up with longtime stylist Renee Layer to open a one-stop shop for high-end shirts, one-of-a-kind leather jackets and custom suits right in Music City!
The store, unambiguously dubbed "The Label," has snagged Tony Sartino as its designer for custom-made clothing. His impressive client list includes Kings of Leon, Bon Jovi, Goo Goo Dolls and Prince. The Label will also sell jewelry and home furnishings. Known for his rock 'n roll sense of style, Gary is also no stranger to the catwalk, having modeled in a charity fashion show earlier this year. The Label opens September 1 in Nashville's trendy 12th Avenue South district.

By: admin Categories:News

Erin Duvall - The Boot Gary Allan is a force to be reckoned with. Whether it's overcoming personal turmoil such as the vocal surgery he underwent in December, or juggling his demanding tour schedule with his duties as a single dad, the California native has proven he's here in country music to stay. From his first release to radio in 1996, 'Her Man,' to the highest debuting single of his career, last year's 'Get Off on the Pain,' Gary has proven one of the most consistent hitmakers in the business, giving fans a no-holds-barred view of his life and passions through song. The 43-year-old platinum-selling singer now has eight studio albums to his name, and fans are chomping at the bit for the ninth. The Boot met up with Gary just before his annual fan club party in Nashville to talk about the early stages of his next project. He also reveals his beef with the industry and why he refuses to listen to his own music. Your first album, 'Used Heart for Sale,' is about to celebrate its 15th anniversary. Nine projects later, how has your approach changed?

GARY ALLAN’S WORKOUTS ARE BONDING EXPERIENCES

By: admin Categories:News

by Alanna Conaway - The Boot For years, Gary Allan has worked hard at perfecting his career in the music business as well as perfecting his rock-solid physique. When Gary comes off the road, he says his workout consists of time with his personal trainer and also yoga. To stay in top shape while on the road, Gary and his band run five miles per day at the very least. "As a band we [work out together]," Gary tells GAC. "We get out, and we hit a gym every day. It used to be just running, but now we try to make sure that we get into an actual gym, and just because you're in a different gym every day, it makes your workout different." One of Gary's biggest passions, other than music, is surfing, which he has tried to get his band involved with as well. "I got two of them up [surfing]," he says proudly. "They weren't surfers before this year!"
