UNCLE SI & THE SICOTICS RELEASE "AS SEEN ON TV" TO COUNTRY RADIO

DOWNLOAD MEDIA PHOTO NASHVILLE – "Si-ted" everywhere during the recent gathering of country radio professionals in Nashville known as CRS, Uncle Si & The Sicotics have released their humorous take on celebrity titled "As Seen On TV" to radio stations across the U.S. The upbeat single on Cold River Records is a sparring match between Uncle Si Robertson, the "Duck Dynasty" patriarch and namesake of the unconventional, unapologetic, and unabashedly fun country trio, and his two creative antagonists his daughter-in-law Marsha Robertson and creative force of nature Bridgette Tatum. The song, which was recorded exactly as it is told, has Uncle Si attempting to tell a winding tale with a persistently elusive pay off while Robertson and Tatum effectively "poke the bear" and interject with jabs at his well-documented run as a reality TV star. The song has proven to be one of the most talked about cuts on their debut EP on Cold River Records Uncle Si & The Sicotics, with comparisons to Ray Stevens and Jerry Reed’s "When You’re Hot You’re Hot." "I’m not entirely sure what all this fuss is about," offered the cantankerous star. "With those two no one could get a word in edgewise. I’m just trying to sing the song and tell a story. That’s what I do!" The collection of songs on Uncle Si & The Sicotics span the funny side with "As Seen On TV" and "Huntin’ Somethin’" to the more introspective "Throwback Man" and "Garrison." Tatum, who is the writer of Jason Aldean’s two-week No. 1 "She’s Country," produced and co-wrote the project with Robertson and Uncle Si and said the resulting songs are based in faith, raised in family, and radiate fun. And like the Louisiana native, Uncle Si & The Sicotics is a tasty gumbo of country music, hip hop beats, rock ‘n’ roll, and Southern gospel capturing Uncle Si’s wit, wisdom, and wry observations on popular culture. Fans are eager to experience Uncle Si & The Sicotics in person and the trio has assembled a live show with the same energetic, mind-blowing experience that is captured on the EP. Each performance is a journey through their eclectic brand of musical mayhem with straightjackets, rubber chickens, rhinestones, and electric entertainment.
