Gloriana debut new video for "Can't Shake You"

Gloriana Releases New Single, “Can’t Shake You," to Country Radio As Follow Up To Gold-Certified, "(Kissed You) Good Night" (from the mailbag)

Gloriana has just released their latest single, "Can't Shake You," to country radio. The song, written by the trio's Tom Gossin with Stephanie Bentley and James Slater, is the follow-up to the gold-certified (Kissed You) Good Night single which recently topped the Billboard Indicator chart. Both tracks are featured on the group's second studio album, A Thousand Miles Left Behind, which was released July 31 and debuted at No. 2 on Billboard's Top Country Album chart.

"'Can't Shake You' is about not being able to shake somebody from your mind after a break-up," says Tom. "Most people have been in this situation and can relate. It has certainly become a fan favorite out on the road so we are excited to get it to radio."

Gloriana is made up of brothers Tom and Mike Gossin and Rachel Reinert. In 2010 the group took home the American Music Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and the ACM trophy for Top New Vocal Group.

ACM Weekend Is NOT Just About The Artist's...Yet They Bring Us All Together

As the dust has somewhat settled and I am slowing getting organized since my return from ACM weekend in Vegas I look back on what really goes on, what we see and what we learn.  You can say I am still probably a "newbie" since I have only been attending the weekend since 2008, so I am not your "well seasoned veteran".  But in these years I have seen many changes, some we did not always agree with, and some that are really well done.

Loads of pictures after the jump...

Gloriana plays a backyard and this is the reaction you get

So Gloriana played a backyard yesterday.  No, they haven't gone wayyyyy downhill since little miss blondie decided to up and leave the group - nope, the band was actually the prize in a contest that New York radio station B104.7 was putting on.  

The family who won the private backyard concert was totally stoked to win, but no one was more excited than roving news reporter Racquel Asa who was on hand to document the festivities and to give the classic made-for-television look you see above.

All right, so Racquel's face may have actually just been a fake excited face she did to demonstrate the overwhelming excitement of the crowd, but come on, have you ever seen a better excited look on a reporter?   

I know I haven't. 

Loads of photos from the day here and video below or here if it doesn't work.
