NASHVILLE, Tenn. (By
Nicole Zeller/ PLA Media) - GrandVista Music, the newest label on Nashville's
Music Row, released an inspiring heartfelt commemorative Veteran's Day project, 'I Am Coming Home,' which is dedicated to the U.S. soldiers past and present.
Vietnam Veteran and West Point graduate, David Mastran writes this tribute song inspired by his own experience in Vietnam missing his wife and yearning to come home. 'As I started writing songs, I felt the need to write one that we would have wanted to sing back then and make it general so troops overseas today could relate to it for years to come,' explains Mastran.
'I Am Coming Home' is a love song of courage, devotion and promise written as only a soldier could write with so much heart and passion. It is proven to capture the joy, patriotism, pride, and gratification that only a welcomed home warrior can know as it is actively being incorporated in veteran celebrations nationwide.
The song is sung by a top Nashville artist, Perry Danos, who opened for several artists including Eddie Rabbitt, Charlie Daniels, Leon Russell, among others. Danos is a dynamic vocalist, songwriter and entertainer who first debuted 'I Am Coming Home' for soldiers and their families at 'God Bless Fort Benning Day 2005' in Columbus, Georgia. 'The enthusiasm in this song is both a tribute to this moving, timely matter and dedicated to our courageous veterans.'
ABC Radio Network is featuring a special promotional giveaway to 137 'Timeless' format stations nationwide in honor of Veteran's Day. This proves to be a great testament to the quality and poignancy of the song and to the importance of honoring our veterans as the format consists of oldies and no new material. The 'Music of Your Life' format is also airing the song nationwide to 206 stations.
Perry Danos has also appeared in Shania Twain's video 'No One Needs To Know' and Gretchen Wilson's 'When I Think About Cheatin'.'
'I Am Coming Home' features exclusive timeless footage of combat incorporated with footage of soldiers being reunited with their families.
