Local Musicians Scotty Tyce and Power Take Off Support 4-H Youth with New Song Release
The Big Little Band from Barneveld has a Big Heart
BARNEVELD, WI – June 6, 2022 – Southwest Wisconsin musicians Scotty Tyce and Power Take Off (PTO) recently released a first-time, four-song digital collection titled, Keep Truckin’, found nationally on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, etc. For every download of the lead single, Keep Truckin’, the band is donating the proceeds to support the educational opportunities and dedication of kids participating in Wisconsin 4-H.
“The idea began when I was watching how hard the local 4-H kids were working to take care of their cattle at the county fair and as a farmer myself, I was impressed with their dedication and can-do spirit,” said Scotty Tyce, lead singer of PTO. “As I was driving home that evening, the song lyrics began to form in my mind and I wanted to create a song to support our Wisconsin 4-H kids, to help them reach their goals and know their hard work is truly worth it, even when it isn’t easy.”
Tyce, joined by his 15-year-old-son, and four other members of the PTO band jumped on board and let the song come together with its catchy lyrics and high-energy beat. Since the band’s inception in 2019, Scotty Tyce and Power Take Off have been shaking things up in southwest Wisconsin with their eclectic mix of country, rock, and blues.
“We are incredibly excited to partner together with PTO on such a unique project to raise awareness and appreciation for today’s youth involved in Wisconsin 4-H programs,” said Brenda Scheider, Executive Director, 4-H Foundation. “4-H is a community for all, and we are dedicated to empowering today’s youth with the skills to lead for a lifetime and improve the world around us.”
In the upcoming months ahead, PTO will be playing at local fairs and summer festivals to promote the upbeat Keep Truckin’ single and support 4-H efforts and events. To learn more about Scotty Tyce and Power Take Off, follow PTO on Facebook. To learn more about supporting 4-H youth, click here.
