James Otto and his beautiful wife Amy are proud to announce the birth of their daughter, Ava Katherine Otto. Born this past Tuesday night at 9:23pm at a Nashville-area hospital, Ava Katherine came into this world weighing 8 lbs., 2 oz. and is 19 1/2 inches long.

“We can’t believe Ava is finally here! She is beautiful like her Mama and I am already wrapped around her tiny finger. I am so grateful I made it home in time to be here for her arrival–it has truly already changed our lives,” said Otto.

For James, the birth of his daughter will most certainly be the highlight of a year to remember.  For the past several months James has been on the road joining Trace Adkins and Toby Keith on their American Ride Tour.  And, he’s just a couple weeks away from the release of his third studio album Shake What God Gave Ya, set to hit stores on Sept. 14.  The album features 12 brand new tracks including his current single “Groovy Little Summer Song” and “Good Things Gone Bad” a duet he recorded with one of his musical heroes, Ronnie Milsap.

James stopped by the GAC studios a week or so ago and talked to our very own Suzanne Alexander about the impending birth of his daughter Ava and about his new album.  Check out the clip here:
