Gloriana is campaigning for AMA’s Breakthrough Artist of 2009. After beating out Zac Brown Band in the Country category for the award, the Fantastic Four is calling all Gloriana fans to unite and take down the competition. Instead of a bat, be looking for a mighty “G” lighting up the sky. (Article by: Taylor Harris. Photo from: Country Music Is Love)
The summer anthem “Wild at Heart” singers are ready to “Knock You Down,” Keri Hilson. They are ready to take your “Paparazzi,” Lady Gaga. They are ready to make you think about defeat “Day and Night,” Kid Cudi.
After dominating the prelims of voting, the self-thought underdogs are in the running to capture the first Breakthrough Artist AMA for country music.
When asked about the nomination and dropping former touring bud Zac Brown Band in the previous round, older bro Tom Gossin explains his take. "We were more just glad for them. We were like, 'Oh, Zac will definitely get it, and that's awesome because he deserves it.' Then, we ended up winning that preliminary round. What I think it comes down to is our fan base we've developed is very Internet savvy. ...We were really surprised when we saw that we won that preliminary round. Now we are just like, 'Man, I wonder if we have a chance to win the main round.' We'd love to."
Well, the fans would love it too. They’ve accepted the task and are working overtime to make this dream come true. Tweets declaring thousands of votes by single followers, YouTube videos showing supporters tirelessly submitting Gloriana for Breakthrough Artist again and again, slogans by the band to promote the efforts, even voting parties—Rachel, Cheyenne, Mike, and Tom have quite the momentum heading into the final week of voting.
Superman defeated Lex Luthor. Spidey conquered the Green Goblin. And, Gloriana too plans to capture victory on November 22.
Make this happen with your votes: CAST YOUR VOTE.
