Country music fans may recognize a familiar voice in a newly-launched Applebee's® television commercial. Sammy Kershaw's "Grillin' and Chillin'" is the featured tune in the national restaurant chain's new worldwide advertising campaign.
"'Grillin' and Chillin' is the perfect song for this time of year and Applebee's agrees," says Kershaw. "How cool is that? I am glad to have been able to record and produce this great tune written by Casey Beathard and Scooter Carusoe."
The Beathard and Carusoe-penned song is included on Kershaw's 2015 album, I Won't Back Down. Beathard has written songs cut by Eric Church ("Mr. Misunderstood," "Like Jesus Does"), Kenny Chesney ("Don't Blink," "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem") and more. Artists who have recorded Carusoe's songs include Chris Janson ("Drunk Girl"), Brett Eldredge ("Wanna Be That Song," "Mean to Me"), Darius Rucker ("For the First Time") and more.
"Really excited to be involved with this campaign as it includes two things I've been a long time fan of... Applebee's and Sammy Kershaw!" says Carusoe.
Beathard adds, "Sammy Kershaw is a really great artist that anyone would love to have cut their song. He has such a distinctive sound. It's very exciting to see 'Grillin' and Chillin'' in an Applebee's commercial!"
Applebee's is thrilled with the inclusion of Kershaw's song in their new commercial, recently Tweeting at the country star, "You're the Chill to our Grill."
