CHICAGO -- (June 26, 2009) -- Automated Graphic Design (AuGrDe) has released its second iPhone/iPod Touch application titled Country Music Chicago, now available in the App Store:. This application was developed exclusively with CountryMusicChicago.com, the city's premier online source for the latest country music news, reviews, concert information and local artists.
The Country Music Chicago application is the first free app of its kind in the Apple App Store for delivering country music news to iPhone and iPod Touch users. The application is fully integrated with CountryMusicChicago.com, allowing users to quickly access up-to-the-minute information on Chicago’s vibrant country music scene.

"We’re ecstatic to be on the cutting edge of news and information," said Scott Winterroth, CountryMusicChicago.com Editor. “While our main focus is to promote our local country music scene, we feel all country music fans can, in many ways, benefit from this app. Best of all, we are providing it to users free of charge.”
