The UCF Police Department received a new donated car for their Community Relations unit on June 12 - a 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT.Carl Black of Orlando donated the car and the graphics on the car are courtesy of a free vehicle wrap performed by Wrap This, Ink., of Longwood. According to Cpl. James Roop, community relations supervisor of the UCF Police Department, the white, black and gold car is eye-catching. “When you see it you’re going to be like, ‘Wow,’” Roop said. The fully functional police car is meant to be showcased at various UCF events where the police department will be present. The police department hopes it will spark conversation between the police and the community.

Carl Black of Orlando and their friends at K92 FM in association with Cowboys of Orlando put together a great free concert for the best country fans in Florida. Carl Black also displayed a few 2008 GMC Sierra Trucks and the all new 2008 Pontiac G8. The fans made the most of the intimate setting getting great picture opportunities and also free Carl Black Hats that were given way by Carl Black of Orlando GMC Truck Team. By the time it was all said and done James left a lasting impression on the Orlando Country Music Fans.

The easy approach in a sound bite culture is to succinctly label the persona and the project, but which to choose: The kid from the Pacific Northwest who bleeds classic rock? The backwoods Alabama teen whose voice channels Southern Rock and high volume country? The romantic balladeer whose passion for soul draws on Otis and Conway? The successful and contemplative songwriter?
Truth is, James Otto is all of these, and probably a few more. Standing an easy 6’5” tall with a frame more akin to an NFL lineman than an entertainer, his mere presence is enough to garner your attention. And his voice? Maybe bigger. John Rich of the country duo Big & Rich often introduces Otto as “The Biggest Voice in Country Music,” a claim few refute upon hearing him sing.

Signed to the Raybaw label, an imprint of Warner Bros., Otto began a two-year creative journey that also enlisted his brother-in-law Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts as a producer and co-writer. The recording process was aided by Otto’s experiences on tour with some of country’s biggest stars. “Making an album is lot like putting together a good live show, pacing the set and navigating all the ups and downs on that rollercoaster of emotion.”
