Nashville, Tenn. (Top40 Charts/ Mycko Entertainment) - Usually, the word "hero" during wartime is for the soldiers who go off to fight.
However, rising star and Nashville singer Robert Mycko's prolific song, "You're My American Hero," portrays the spouses, who take care of the children while the soldiers are away, as the heroes of today.
In response to the overwhelming growing demand of "You're My American Hero," Mycko will be performing to a sold out show the new song and opening for country music's national recording artists Heartland at the Cadillac Ranch March 12 in Connecticut.
Mycko is also scheduled for a homecoming performance, for returning troops from Iraq, at Fort Campbell, Ky., on March 17.
Mycko, a native of Connecticut, was launched into the spotlight when a TV reporter in Connecticut heard his song and aired Mycko's story. That report landed Mycko on the front page of the local newspapers and MSNBC.
"We have a box going over to Iraq for the soldiers at work. One of the items they were looking for was music," says Mycko. "One Sunday morning, I was at the breakfast table, where I also write, with my wife and kids, when I came up with, 'You're My American Hero.'"
"You're My American Hero" has been receiving airplay on country stations with a growing number of requests daily from an escalating fan base, not to mention winning two consistent first-place awards in New Artist contests.
This led Mycko to becoming the first live performer at the Connecticut State Capitol in the Lawmaker's Chambers in Hartford last April. Mycko has since performed at numerous political rallies, including a performance at the USO last September.
Mycko has just completed recording an EP at Merit Studio in Nashville featuring renowned Nashville session players John Willis - Guitar (Shania Twain, Leann Rimes); Bobby Ogden - Keyboard (Elvis Presley); Steve Holland - Drums (Melissa Gibson); Bob Wray - Bass (Marshall Tucker Band, Hank Williams Jr.,); Bill Hulled - Acoustic Guitar, (Loretta Lynn, Alabama); and Tom Pick - Engineer (Elvis Presley, Waylon Jennings, Dolly Pardon, Roy Orbison). Mycko's daughter also sings backup on his debut CD.
Mycko is scheduling new performances daily and will be touring throughout 2007. The Cadillac Ranch is located at 45 Jude Lane in Southington, Ct. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $18.
