NASHVILLE, TN. (EO Records) - Singer/songwriter and active duty U.S.
Marine Corps. Officer Mike Corrado, and his record label, EO Records, recently released his song, "My Watch (The Soldier's Song)," to radio on a national scale. The song is currently garnering regional airplay, and Mike was a guest on 700 WLW Cincinnati (Clear Channel 50,000 watts), the ABC
Radio Dallas & Hot AC affiliate stations, and the The (BBC) Gary Burbank syndicated Network. On WRHT in Greenville, North Carolina, there were nearly 5,000 downloads of the song in its first week, as the Jacksonville, NC native's song is quickly becoming an anthem for those who serve to protect our country, their families and all departments of public service.
Lately, artists such as Toby Keith and Alan Jackson have performed songs showing their support for our servicemen and women, but Corrado writes form firsthand experience. The song is a message to the families, friends and supporters back home in the states to take care of your children and continue living your lives because the military is keeping a watchful eye and protecting your freedom.
Even with the success of his song, Corrado is still committed to his country. He has just been extended on active duty and will be deployed to Iraq at the first of the year. Mike will be leaving his wife, Kate, and first born child who will be only 3 weeks old at that time.
Proceeds from sales of the CD single benefit OperationHomefront.net (A Clear Channel Charity), an organization that helps military spouses and families in times of need while their loved ones are deployed. Corrado's DVD, Live at Thalian Hall, is featured on Digital Cable's Video-on-Demand Nationwide in 70 markets with over 11 million viewers. Corrado has also performed with John Mayer, Edwin McCain, and Train, and on WFXT, Boston's Fox Television affiliate.
