Press Release Body = March 07, 2007: Local entertainer/singer/songwriter Rusty
Wilson, a 1994 graduate of Simpson High School, current resident of Vernon Parish
and Fort Polk Employee, has been nominated by the International Academy of
Independent Artists (IAIA) for their annual Golden Kayak Awards to be presented
later this month. The kayak represents the indie artist, who by sheer determination
takes his or her own music to the world via the internet without the help of large
publicity machines or substantial FM radio play. In order to select the winners, an
organization of artists was formed so the top indie songs and artists could be
chosen by their peers. This organization is the IAIA. The annual event is the
biggest sponsored by the Independent Artist Community (IAC). More information can
be obtained by visiting the community\'s website at http://www.iacmusic.com/. You

http://www.rustywilson.org or at http://www.myspace.com/rustywilsonmusic. You can

Louisiana such as The Sugar Shack in the Leesville/New Llano area, Roper\'s Night
