“Not Your Typical Cowboy”…. A very fitting description for Mark Lonsway, a singer/ songwriter, originally from Fort Wayne, Indiana. It is also the title of Mark’s debut CD, a collection of songs showcasing his strong country and commercial rock roots. A seasoned performer, having played everything from fairs to bars to clubs and large venues, including opening for several national country acts, Mark plays the Nashville scene as often as possible. When not out playing, he is in the studio, as a sought after session singer or as a producer/ recording engineer. Currently, Mark is writing new material for his follow up CD, to be produced by Doug Sisemore and Dale Oliver.

Don't let the pretty face fool you. Behind the feminine, youthful exterior is a woman wise beyond her years. An old soul, with a story to tell. Defined with a steely grace and a voice guaranteed to captivate any audience, 20 year old Jaida Dreyer appears to have ice water running through her veins. This gypsy girl has experienced a lot of life, which she aptly portrays in the songs she writes. Born in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Jaida has lived in 7 different states, from one coast to the other. In the spotlight as a child, she won the hearts of audiences in both ice skating arenas and at horse shows nationwide, winning the first of many World Championship titles at just 5 years old. The nomadic, fast paced lifestyle of growing up on the road, inspired Jaida to write about her own adventures at an early age. After working on a few acting projects (a major motion picture, a series for ABC and various music videos), she turned to her love of music and destiny quickly took control with her move to Nashville in 2007. Having garnered the overwhelming respect and interest within the industry, she has made quite the splash as one of the most esteemed young songwriters in Nashville. Like a breath of fresh air her edgy lyrics, yet neo traditional sound, crosses genres and makes her one of the most promising, must see, artist/writers on the music scene today.

It’s time to get “Knee Deep In It” with The Mulch Brothers!! This high-energy duo shovels out their brand of country music by grindin’ up the best parts of country, southern rock and Americana. From the east coast to the west coast and down to the gulf coast, the Brothers have been tearin’ it up all over the map this past year. Let’s just put it this way - “they cover a lot of ground!” In 2007 alone - the Mulch Brothers shared the stage with the likes of Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora, Big & Rich, Keith Anderson, Jewel, Trailer Choir and more! The boys have been keeping busy off the road as well writing and recording songs for their debut CD with friends and fellow songwriters Billy Falcon, Rose Falcon, Mitch Malloy, Jeff Middleton of Warner Brothers Recording Artists - the Dirt Drifters, Isaac Rich, Vinny Van Zant (Trailer Choir – Show Dog Records) and Big Jim Lawrence. In 2008 with the release of their debut EP “Dig It Y’All! Produced by Billy Falcon & Mitch Malloy, The Mulch Brothers have been receiving steady airplay on Nashville’s 103FM WKDF with their songs “Booty Call” & “Knee Deep In It” and recently the ballad “Love Run Wild” was added to regular rotation on Sirius satellite radio’s New Country program Ch.60www.mulchbrothers.com www.myspace.com/mulchbrothers |

In January of 2005, the President of the CMA saw Jessica performing an acoustic set and asked her mama and daddy if they were “ready to live their life on a tour bus because your daughter has “it.” The answer was “yes” and Jessica’s country music career began. Being a regional finalist in the Colgate Country Showdown and winning the Nissan Battle of the Bands contest just added fuel to an already hot fire in Jessica’s desire to write songs and perform. She spends most of her time between Nashville and Atlanta, performing as much as possible and is currently in the studio recording her second CD (to be released this fall). |

His music is down home classic rock drenched in gritty, country soul. Born and raised in the coal mining hills of Harlan, Kentucky, Eldon Huff is a fresh take on the kind of music you wish was still being made. He sings with the raw charisma of a young Mellencamp, Fogerty, and Seger. His songs are honest and inspired. His Jimi Hendrix and Duane Allman-influenced lead guitar work is a signature part of both his recorded music and his live shows.
Eldon began playing with bands in bars at the age of 12. After years of playing in Kentucky, he moved to Nashville in 2003. He signed a publishing deal with Sony Tree in 2007. He and his band currently perform throughout the southeast. Eldon’s wealth of experience has helped him develop a comfort level on stage that makes for irressistibly entertaining performances.
