This past Tuesday night local artist Jaida Dreyer became the first winner of the new singing competition show, Real Country on the USA Network!
The debut season concluded with a 90 minute finale that included performances by Jaida and her fellow finalists, Jamie Floyd, Copper Chief, Kylie Frey, Frank Ray, Tiera and Larry Fleet.
Though all finalists offered amazing performances Jaida wowed the crowd with her original song “Jack It To Jesus (Spray It To Hell)”. This performance earned her 4.6/5 stars from the audience which was the highest ranking of the night.
As a result of this victory Jaida has won $100,000.00 and a performance slot at the Grand Ol’ Opry! Jaida and the other finalists also earned themselves performance time at the upcoming StageCoach Music Festival in California.
The show featured judges and mentors Shania Twain, Travis Tritt and Jake Owen.
Jaida has been living in Nashville for over 10 years working as a songwriter and has written some pretty big hits for various country stars! She has also recorded and released several songs to radio!
The song she sang at the finale (Jack It To Jesus) is now available to download on Itunes, Spotify and really wherever your get you music! So feel free to check it out!
Congratulations Jaida!!! We are so proud of you!
