Kellie Pickler Kicks Off New All-Star Music Series, ‘The Road To Ram Jam’

Hey, so what are you doing at the end of the year 2012? How does an invite-only concert in Nashville, featuring five A-list country artists, sound?

Not too bad? I thought so! The good news is that you can enter to win a sweepstakes that just might put you on the guest list for this exclusive event. Ram Trucks has announced its "Road to the Ram® Jam" contest, which offers fans not only a chance to win an invite to the December 29 show (hotel and airfare included), but also the opportunity to gather up some other music-lovers' goodies along the way.

Throughout 2012, Ram will periodically announce each of the five artists that will be taking part in the Ram Jam. Fans can then check out the Road To Ram Jam site, which will have exclusive video content featuring the stars, the opportunity to win prizes including collectible posters and vinyl records, free music, and more.

The inaugural artist announced for the Ram Jam is Kellie Pickler, who is offering visitors to the Ram Jam site a chance to win a free download of her latest single, "Tough."Kellie Pickler

There's also some behind-the-scenes video of her enjoying her Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn truck. "The first thing I learned to drive was my grandpa's truck, so I'm definitely a truck girl," Pickler said.

All five artists involved with the Ram Jam will receive a one-year lease on a 2012 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn truck, like the one Pickler is driving in the video. The trucks will then be auctioned off in early 2013, with all proceeds going to benefit a military-focused charity of each artist's choice. Pickler's charity is the USO, a nonprofit organization dedicated to lifting the spirits of America's troops and their families.

Fans can sign up daily at the Ram Jam site up through September 30 for their chance to win the grand prize, as well as check out the other fun stuff available--there's a complete list of rules here. So what are you waiting for? Get Truckin' with Pickler right now!
