KY based family stars in new DIY Network show “LOGHEADS”

(Lancaster, KY) August, 2013 - A local family-owned and operated business is ready to make their mark on a nation-wide television audience on August 22, 2013.

LogHeads features Tommy and Gwen Mitchell owners of Rocky Top Log Furniture and Railing.  Specializing in custom crafted hand-made log furniture and in building log cabin homes, the husband and wife team transformed their garage-based business into a multi-million dollar success.

The premiere episode follows the Mitchells and their team of LogHeads as they face the challenging task of building a log cabin from the ground up. Not only is the log cabin build-site hours from their home headquarters but they will also juggle the stressful demands of running the rest of their business. To make things tougher, the roads to the cabin are narrow and tight, creating more tension for getting the materials and logs on site. Tommy Mitchell took on the tricky build job because he felt a sympathy and connection with the homeowners.

Tommy says, “They (the Kopple family) lost their home in a tragic fire. Years and years of memories were tied to that land and their old cabin. I couldn’t say no to the opportunity of giving them their dream back and the chance to help them build new memories.”

The episode also features Tommy constructing a very special bedroom suite that high-lights a classic piece of Americana and playfully follows Gwen Mitchell and her friends as they partake in a choreographed line dance for a music-video shot for Kentucky-based band, Simon Pure.

LogHeads, produced by Los Angeles based Media Meld Studios, will broadcast on August 22, 2013 at 10 PM and repeat again on August 24, 2013 at 11 PM on the DIY Network.

This is the first DIY show for Media Meld Studios. It’s production follows on the heels of Media Meld’s recent documentary film release, Happy on the Ground: 8 Days at GRAMMY® Camp. The film premiered at the GRAMMY® museum at LA Live.
