Chely Wright

Country music and patriotism have always gone hand in hand.

Chely Wright is recording a new album, and she's letting her fans get in on the action. The singer has started a Kickstarter campaign to release her upcoming project, with a goal of raising $175,000.

Chely Wright's mother has died following a brief battle with cancer.

Hurricane Sandy crashed into the east coast on Monday night, and Trace Adkins was among a handful of country singers trying to stay safe in the Big Apple. Chely Wright and Billy Ray Cyrus also took to Twitter to describe what was happening as the 100-year storm flooded the New Jersey and New York coastline.

Chely Wright‘s emotional documentary outlining her struggle and decision to reveal to the world that she is gay is now available for purchase online. ’Wish Me Away’ can be downloaded through iTunes or purchased via Video on Demand (VOD) from local cable carriers.
