FORMER MARINE JOSH GRACIN TO TOUR PERSIAN GULF
IN SUPPORT OF OUR TROOPS OVERSEAS

Nashville, TN – June 25, 2007 – Former Marine Josh Gracin will tour the Persian Gulf this summer in support of our troops overseas. Gracin will leave his wife and three children at home in Nashville to play shows and spend time with the troops stationed throughout the Persian Gulf. The overseas tour is sponsored by MWR and Stars For Stripes.

“It means a lot to me to do this,” said Gracin. “As a former Marine it’s important for me to give back to our men and women in uniform. I hope these shows can help them to escape for just a moment and bring a little piece of home to our folks serving overseas.”

Josh Gracin’s self-titled debut CD is certified gold by the RIAA and has sold over 680,000 copies. The first single from the project, “I Want To Live,” was also his first hit – climbing the charts to #4 at country radio. Josh’s second single, “Nothin’ To Lose,” was his first #1 record. His third single “Stay With Me (Brass Bed)” was also a Top 5 hit, giving him three consecutive Top 5 songs at country radio.
