CMT GETS ALL ACCESS PASS TO THE WARREN BROTHERS’
NEARLY FAMOUS LIFE IN NEW SERIES
“BARELY FAMOUS:THE WARREN BROTHERS”
Series Launches Friday, September 10

NASHVILLE – August 12, 2004 – Never a dull moment, never a major hit – singing duo the Warren Brothers have come close, but have never quite grasped the brass ring. They’ve had brushes with fame and rubbed elbows with superstars for years, and in their inimitable way, have created an enviable, although quirky, lifestyle. In BARELY FAMOUS: THE WARREN BROTHERS, CMT takes a comical look through the eyes of the unpredictable Warren Brothers at their almost-famous life, which runs the gamut from hanging out at the Waffle House to hanging out at superstar Tim McGraw’s house. BARELY FAMOUS: THE WARREN BROTHERS, a weekly 30-minute series, premieres Friday, Sept. 10 at 10:00 PM, ET/PT.

The Warren Brothers have penned hits for the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Faith Hill, Sara Evans and countless others, yet the duo remain anonymous to almost everyone but their family. They’ve received five CMA nominations and no wins; seven Top 40 singles, yet no Top 10 hits. In BARELY FAMOUS: THE WARREN BROTHERS, the Warren Brothers offer an all access pass on their hard road to fame and the distractions along the way.

Singers/songwriters/musicians Brad and Brett Warren stand poised to have their biggest year ever in 2004. The Warren Brothers released their third album in April titled “Well-Deserved Obscurity,” and will perform in over 30 major cities on Tim McGraw’s highly anticipated “Out Loud Tour.” CMT world premiered their new video, “Sell a Lot of Beer,” earlier this month.
