Turnin to Country is REAL TV.
(Rural Entertainment And Lifestyle)
Starting in January of 2008, country music artist, Tresa Jordan, will bring REAL TV to RFD-TV and RFD-HD with her new show, “Turnin to Country”.
Using a journalistic approach, Tresa travels across the country visiting small towns that may not be on the national radar, yet each having its own agritourism appeal and charm. In addition, she also covers regional rural events such as fairs, expos and festivals. The show is shot in High Definition and edited in a very contemporary style, artistically combining modern-day techniques with old time charm.
“This show is about bringing beautiful small towns, and the stories surrounding them, into the living rooms of millions of people who either can’t travel or who are looking for new places to go for a weekend get-away or a vacation. I’m from a small town and when I visit these places, it’s kind of like going home for me. The people, the stories they tell about their town, the pride they have in it, it’s really touching and inspiring” says Jordan.
Tresa got the idea for Turnin to Country when she was traveling across America performing at Country and Bluegrass shows and festivals. She found that she was learning new things, eating great food unique to each area, and hearing stories about people that she never would have known about if she hadn’t been there herself. She found that she desired to get back to the places where the locals are genuine and the pace is slower. Then it dawned on her. If she felt this way, surely other people would too.
As Tresa searches to find out what makes each town or event special, the nice surprise turns out to be the unique and heart-warming stories of its citizens. Whether it’s a bronze sculptor with international recognition living the quiet life in a small town, or a handicapped stock-dog trainer who doesn’t let her disability keep her from doing what she loves, you’ll find yourself getting wrapped up in each moment.
Tresa has a way of adding her own special touch to every episode and viewers fall in love with her personality and warmth. The diary-styled show has Tresa giving her afterthoughts of her visit, therefore allowing for more information to be given than simply what is shown on the screen.
From farmers to storytellers, from festivals to historic places, Turnin to Country will take you on a wonderful journey across rural America.
