Crandall Creek proudly announces that their new single, “Refrigerator Homemade Picture Show,” is available for streaming and purchasing at all major outlets. The thoughtful new song features special guests Shannon Slaughter on lead vocals; Kathy Wigman Lesnock and Carly Greer on harmony vocals; Darrin Vincent on bass; Andy Leftwich on guitar, mandolin, and fiddle; Jessie Baker on banjo; and Josh Swift on Dobro.
“Refrigerator Homemade Picture Show’ is a kind of song that relates to everyone,” said Tim Raybon. “You can picture in your mind either your children or someone else’s kids putting their artwork from home or school on the refrigerator. It is fantastic! I guarantee you will love this song,” he said.
The song was written by Crandall Creek members Jerry Andrews and Kathy Wigman Lesnock, after refrigerator pictures triggered Jerry’s imagination. He explains, “the song came to me one day as a cascade of my grandkid’s artwork peeled off the refrigerator door. As I picked it up, it made me think of all the creativity kids have. Sometimes I wouldn’t know what the picture in the drawing was, but I applauded just the same.”
“Jerry and Kathy have crafted a song that will touch anyone’s heart. The sight of children’s or grandchildren’s art on the refrigerator door is timeless,” said Shannon Slaughter.
Crandall Creek is now on tour with Jerry Andrews on rhythm guitar and vocals; Kathy Wigman Lesnock on lead and harmony vocals; Dustin Terpenning on banjo and mandolin; and Carly Greer on lead and harmony vocals.
“Refrigerator Homemade Picture Show” is also available to radio programmers at AirPlay Direct or by request to Hope River Entertainment.
