Ten Minute Tune

If you are looking for a Fourth Of July Song, Jeff Kurkjian of The Andie Summers Show has a great one for you. The original song for this week's Ten Minute Tune is "Happen To Me" from the very talented Russell Dickerson. We know he's going love dancing to it.

Let's take some time for the original song first, and then we will get to the Fourth Of July Song.

Fourth Of July Song Going Viral

Every Thursday, I am tasked with rewriting a country song in just ten minutes and then singing it live on the air! This week, it's all about July 4th! Our country's 249th birthday is upon us and we couldn't be more excited to celebrate!

Sing A Long!

Oh I know who, broke up with who

The USA said bye to British rule 

It all started in Boston with some tea

Then in seventeen, seventy six, the people became we. 

And we did that revolution thing

We won and constutioning

America the bell we ring!

And now we’re singin'

"Oh say can you see" from sea to shining sea

It’s Independence Day thanks to our vets yeah baby

Fireworks! Be safe with those flames, have a beer don’t be lame

It’s not July first, second, third, but FOURTH, yeah

I know what happened tonight

Colonists put up a fight

Our country showed its great might

America shining bright! 

America shining bright!

How Did Ten Minute Tune Start?

One could argue that I have been singing these types of songs my entire life. I used to love listening to the radio in the car, changing the lyrics to my favorites songs in my head to make them sound funny. Little did I know I would make a career out of this little hobby.

I grew up a theater kid, performing at stage since I was 10 years old. So singing and performing has always been something that I've loved to do. I took piano lessons since the age of six years old and was heavily involved in choir as well. When I got to college, I was a founding member of the a cappella group, Otto Tunes, on the campus of Syracuse University!

It took us a semester to become an official student organization on campus. Here was our FIRST performance after becoming official. It’s Gavin DeGraw’s “Not Over You.”
