PRILOSEC/NASCAR COMMERCIAL with NASCAR Driver JEFF BURTON featuring QUICKDRAW's song "AMERICA AND ME" written by Kevin Hawkins , Steve Ronsen
Update: CMT (Country Music Television) has been using QUICKDRAW songs including during their CMT INSIDER coverage of the Country Music Awards. The new movie "MOVING McALLISTER" starring JON HEDER(Napoleon Dynamite & Blades of Glory) MILA KUNIS(that 70's Show & Family Guy) RUTGER HAUER(Batman Begins & Blade Runner) and now available in New Releases at BLOCKBUSTER features QUICKDRAW's writers Steve Ronsen & Kevin Hawkins song "AMERICA & ME"! Their song "SAy GOODBYE;I'M GONE" was featured on MTV in the show "EXPOSED" and their song "RUNNIN' FROM THE LAW" was used on the MTV show "NEXT" as well as the show "SECRET LIVES OF WOMEN" on the 'We (WOMEN"S) NETWORK. The FOX NETWORK used 2 QUICKDRAW songs in two episodes of their tv show called "NASHVILLE". ABC's tv show "CAVEMEN" used a QUICKDRAW song in their "ROCK THE VOTE" episode.
In 2007 QUICKDRAW’s RONSEN & HAWKINS hit the ground running, signing 3 songs with VIACOM’s Extreme Music. The songs are being used on tv, in movies and a national PRILOSEC/NASCAR themed commercial with NASCAR driver JEFF BURTON featuring their song "AMERICA AND ME". Their song "SAY GOODBYE, I"M GONE" was featured in STEVEN SPIELBERG's "ON THE LOT" tv show on the FOX Network.
Their song “HOW THE WEST WAS WON” was 12 on the “AMERICAN IDOL underground” country charts in early June. In 2006 They were one of only 6 finalists on the National All American Superstar and the only duo ever chosen.
QUICKDRAW's Ronsen - Hawkins, based out of Nashville for a year and a half, singer, guitarist Steve Ronsen and bassist, backup vocalist Kevin Hawkins were writing their new material and touring with some of the top acts in country music. They have been playing together for many years, penning all the songs for this project as well as all those for multi award winning band Quickdraw and a USA Networks Nashville Star finalist with whom they had been touring. Ronsen and Hawkins also produce and engineer in their own studio. There is a simpatico to their writing and playing that some attribute to the fact that they were born on exactly the same day! Kevin and Steve were nominated for Best Independent Country Song of the Year 2004 by the internet music group Just Plain Folks for their song "Say Goodbye; Im Gone".
After leading a band with Tony Award winning singer Idina Menzel (Broadway shows Wicked & Rent), the boys founded the band Quickdraw recorded 2 full length CD's so far- "Quickdraw" and "America And Me" while collecting numerous awards including:

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
