Danielle Bourjeaurd
The single "Way Too Late" was released independently without a label, without backing and without an album. "We just wanted to get it out there", explains producer Pete Swann. "I knew it was good, and once we got people's attention, the rest of the ducks could be lined up later." The single beat all the odds for a new indie release, climbing the charts and blasting out of radio stations in every province within a month of release. Now that buzz has translated into big industry interest, endorsement deals, writing dates in Nashville and a tour on the books. Swann summarizes, "I guess we were right".
The debut album Raw Truth, now in production, bears the mark of influences from an eclectic range of artists including Patsy Cline, Sheryl Crow, Guns & Roses, Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton, Kid Rock, Emmy Lou Harris and her all time favorite Steven Tyler. It's undeniably edgy, pushing the envelope for traditional country into the world of hard rock and classic rock. If you've never heard a female convincingly belt out outlaw country rock, it's probably because few singers have the pipes topull it off, but Danielle Bourjeaurd definitely does. Lyrically Danielle describes her stories as "the days and life of a 20-something-year-old redneck princess from a small town North of a smaller town”.

Brad was born in Chatsworth, Georgia, but his family moved to North Wilkesboro, North Carolina when he was two years old. It is a small town about thirty miles from the Blue Ridge mountains. At a very young age he started singing in churches located in the southeastern area. While in high school, he became part of a gospel trio that would perform in the local area until he graduated. Even though he was doing gospel material, he had a stronger passion for country music. He recalls sitting in his room after school and singing along to George Strait, George Jones, Vern Gosdin, and other country artists during that time.
After Brad graduated from high school, he joined the Air Force full-time, and later transferred into the Reserves. He moved to Chatsworth, Georgia when he was twenty because his family had relocated there. He started making plans to move to Nashville to pursue a music career, but until that time he would perform at local venues in the North Georgia area doing country material. During the summer months, he would perform the national anthem at some of the Chattanooga Lookout minor league games.
Eventually Brad got tired of just doing previously recorded material, and started writing and performing his own songs. He really found his niche once he starting writing, and being able to express himself through his own music. He now performs in several different venues doing original and cover material. He also has recently finished an album of songs he wrote called "Country All the Time."

Bonnie McGill
Bonnie McGill is a songwriter, poet, photographer, school bus driver, and one of a family of thirteen children. Born and raised in West Lorne, Ontario Canada, where she now resides with her loving husband Andy, who is totally committed to inspiring her. He is a major factor in encouraging her to continue to share her gifts through her captivating words with a world who could use a taste of honesty and compassion, especially in these troubled times. Her songs and poems often pour out from her heart and on the pages of a tiny book or piece of paper, when an idea or thought takes her by surprise, often while she´s driving down the road, or awakened in the night with a dream. She´ll quickly write down the few words and then continue to complete her idea until it turns into a beautiful song or poem. "It´s a gift from God," people tell her, "The way you write." "I know it is," she´ll say in a humble way and want nothing more than it to touch the heart of someone in a positive way. Her love of children is evident with all the children she has bused to school over the years. She always takes time to let her love spill over on to them. The love comes back to her tenfold, and there is no greater feeling than this. Being raised in a large family, with barely enough food to go around, brought out a strong desire in her to not let one child suffer or go hungry, if she could help it. She appreciates the sacrifices her brothers and sisters made, to accomplish great things in their adult lives, ever mindful of their parents trials and sorrows. Her love for her family is utmost in her heart always. She thanks God every day for them. She has four wonderful sons of her own and three lovely grandchildren. Her husband Andy plays guitar for her, and bought her a beautiful twelve string ovation guitar and fulfilled one of her dreams when he taught her how to play it. They went to Nashville, with two guitars and a box full of songs in the back seat, and on their way down between Covington and Louisville Kentucky, Bonnie wrote a song called Lisa´s Dream. They hooked up with Gene Breeden of Gene Breeden studios in Nashville and two days after the song was written, it was recorded. It went to #13 on the cashbox. Bonnie hopes to return and do a whole album sometime, of some of her favorite songs she´s written. She is currently working on writing her autobiography and plans to publish it within a year. It will be called, KIRSCHNER IS MY NAME. This is one dream that will truly be a monumental accomplishment, and one she hopes to fulfill, as a tribute to her life as one of the poor kids whom a lot of people thought may have someday slipped through the cracks. If her words can touch just one person and help them turn their life around to the better, it will have been worth it all.

Them Morris Boys
THEM MORRIS BOYS grow their God given talent in Griffin, Georgia - Mitchell, Mackensie and Micah, along with their two brothers and two sisters, were raised knowing with a little hard work all things are possible. As the old saying goes, “if you love your job you’ll never have to work a day in your life” and THEM MORRIS BOYS know through Gods grace and hard work there is no goal they can’t achieve. When a big family grows up in a small town, as did THEM MORRIS BOYS, the home town folks come to know the local kids as “Them Smith Boys” or “Them Jones Girls”. Mitchell, Mackensie and Micah are not the kind of people that try to be something they are not. They are THEM MORRIS BOYS!
Mitchell, the oldest, plays drums and If you ask the family they’ll tell you, “Mitchell has been beating and banging on things his whole life”. Mitchell lays a great foundation for the band and his great timing keeps the band together. He plays with passion and enthusiasm that makes his playing style very unique.
The youngest brother Micah plays bass and when you’re the youngest, your brothers have all the cool instruments. Micah makes the bass cool, laying down sweet R&B & jazz influenced bass lines. Everyone knows that every great band must have a tight drummer and bass player. Micah plays with his brother; it doesn’t get any tighter than that.
The middle brother Mackensie is the lead vocalist and plays lead guitar. Mackensie leads the group’s musical arrangements with the songs he writes. His talent and passion for writing music and lyrics give the group a sound and style they know they can call their own.

Josh Logan
Josh Logan was born in Cartersville, Kentucky, one of eight children. When he was a young teenager, his first cousin taught him several chords on a guitar. This would promise to be a major turning point in young Josh's life, as music would eventually go from being a favorite pastime to a rewarding career. Although, before he would pursue music full-time, his day job for more than 12 years was working in an auto-wrecking yard, while at nights he would perform in small clubs and roadhouses. This, however, gave Josh the chance to fine-tune his stage presentation and develop the singing style that is still winning over new fans today.
Some of Josh's key influences were George Jones, Merle Haggard and especially the late Mel Street, whom he has been compared to numerous times. Josh went from playing local dances and VFW Clubs to opening for such acts as George Jones and Garth Brooks. Josh also toured the U.S. opening shows for Earl Thomas Conley and later accompanied Sandi Powell to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to entertain U.S. troops. He has toured the U.S. three different times as well as four foreign countries

EM-J Taylor
Having nearly two million views on myspace, Emj Eve Taylor is a promising new artist. David Hasselhoff has been in touch with her from his official website "HoffSpace" and as with countless others in the entertainment industry. Emj Eve writes her own music and her plans are to release new songs early 2011.....She plans are to go to LA in 2011 and promote herself out there in hopes of getting signed. I'm a singer/songwriter from the UK. My biography is pretty short. I have been writing music ever since I can remember. Always seeming to be in my own little world creating various songs and poems. I sang in various Churches while at school, mainly singing traditional style hymns. As I got older, I was always one to do countless solo's in school, continuing with my private classical training. I'd say in about 2004 I began the transition from always singing Opera to writing more dark, orchestral music combined with rock. Evanescence, Within Temptation etc are a few influences of mine but I find it important not to copy an artist that is already out there in the market. I think what is different about me is that I do not wish to stick to just one style in general. If I were to release an album I would release some pop/rock songs as well as the more orchestral classical gothic rock. I think it is important to cater for the general public and what the general public might like. That is very important. You might have some people liking the less gothic stuff and you might have people that appreciate both and you might have people that mainly like the more gothic songs but like the other tunes too! In the past few years I have worked with the guitarist from Mortiis, a very well known industrial band from Norway. I was due to release a track working with him, but as things happen, it didn't work out and the song that I was working on is still a work in progress. My main guitarist was from the band "SIsters Of Mercy". He worked on "Fall" "Alone" and "Child of Mine" with me which was also helped by Stu Norm, a guitarist from Desolation.. I have worked with my first ever producer who was Greg Haver who produced the Manic Street Preachers and Romesh, funeral for a friend producer. Over the next few months I am releasing three new songs as well as a ton of new pictures promoting my new image and my music. I have been on Voice America, been featured in a few online magazines and luckily have a huge following on Myspace and now on Facebook, too. I rarely ever have a bad comment about my music and found that it seems to appeal to the mainstream market, which is good business wise. I aim to write songs for the general public and perform for the public, rather than just a sector of the music business. i.e. JUST gothic rock. My music is appreciated by all generations! My music is dark, but I have written a few very silly catchy pop rock songs similar to Avril Lavigne style and have no problem releasing THOSE sort of songs first if that is what I need to do to make a name for myself. I enjoy all of it!
Red Jenkins
Singer/songwriter Red Jenkins is one of Sweden´s real pioneers in country music with more than 40 years in the business. He specializes in honky tonk music and has recorded several albums since his debut in the sixties.
His first American recording session took place in Marty Robbins´ studio in 1979 with the help of master songwriter Frank Dycus.

Since then he has recorded several times in Nashville as well as in Texas.

The Nashville album, The Bartender (It´s All on the Jukebox), contains duets with superstars like Ed Bruce and Melba Montgomery, and on the Texas CD, Neon Bible, Red is joined by Texas legends like Charlie Walker, Johnny Bush and Augie Meyers.
Red is a prolific songwriter, and he learned this trade while on his earlier US trips he hung out with his mentor Frank Dycus and writers like Al Gore and Dean Dillon.
In 1991 the great Johnny Paycheck recorded Red´s song A Violin That Never Has Been Played. This song was featured in the Swedish cult movie Have a Wonderful Life, performed by Red and Swedish songstress Anne Kihlström. It is also on the new CD Neon Bible, this time with Texas songbird Amber Digby joining Red.
Years ago, Red recorded an album in tribute to Frank Dycus, which features three songs co-written by Red & Frank. Some other tunesmiths Red has worked with are Jim Mundy, Joe Sun and Al Gore and among writers he works with today is The Beckaroo, Becky Hobbs, who is included on the new Nashville CD with her song Jones on the Jukebox.
Red has toured extensively with Swedish as well as international artists, he has been on the Swedish hit parade and has appeared in country music shows on TV. These are just some of the famous American stages where he has performed; Longhorn Ballroom, Dallas, TX; Broken Spoke, Austin,TX; The Farmer´s Daughter, San Antonio, TX; Floores Country Store, Helotes, TX; Nashville Palace, Legends Corner, Tootsies and Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree, all in Nashville, TN.
Red took time off from his busy touring schedule for several years in the 90s to coach soccer. However, he kept going to the US every year to sing, record, write songs and meet his many friends in the business.
Now The Honky Tonk Man is back on the scene, releasing two albums at the same time. - With these recordings I want to show my fans that I am still alive and kickin´and makin´good ole traditional honky tonk music, Red says.
