Julianne Hough will be part of George Strait’s 2009 tour. Most of us know her as the two-time champion from Dancing with the Stars, but lately she’s becoming even better known as Chuck Wicks’ girlfriend. Julianne’s first country single was “That Song in My Head,” and her current CD is “My Hallelujah Song.” She has also recorded her first holiday record, The Julianne Hough Holiday Collection, and that one is available exclusively at Target.
Later guys! Enjoy your Thursday, and drop me a note when you have time. I know everyone is busy right now, but I enjoy hearing from you all – and will answer just as quickly as I can!
