Artist Bio:
Lee Greenwood could easily talk about the accomplishments in his life, but this high energy entertainer prefers to continue writing and recording with the same passion and integrity that has always fueled his stellar career.
“I want my family to see what I do and not what I did,” he says of sharing his passion for music with his wife Kim and their two sons, Dalton and Parker. “I like the artistry of it. I could have been a carpenter or a farmer, but I love the spirit of the music. The creative ideas still flow and I am writing much more than I have in previous years. I always love to create something new.”

Artist Bio:
He produces. He writes. Until recently, he was a label A&R guy. He's an artist. But of all his interesting jobs, musical renaissance man Keith Stegall says writing songs is still his favorite thing.
"That's the reason I came to town, and probably is still the most exciting and precious thing to me," says the Texas native.
That devotion to song is likely one of the reasons he's had such success: 14 BMI-award-winners cut by an eclectic group of artists including Al Jarreau ("We're in This Love Together,") Mark Wills and 98° ("I Do [Cherish You]"), Dr. Hook ("Sexy Eyes") and Sammy Kershaw ("Love of My Life").

Artist Bio:
After high school, Danny moved to Nashville and attended Belmont University until he ran out of money. After a few years of striking out in the music business, Danny joined with best friend Chris Marion to create Western Flyer, a 6 man vocal group patterned in the style of 70's country rock bands the Eagles and America. He was lead vocalist, bassist and principal songwriter for the band. Western Flyer made two cd's and had several top 40 hits including the top 20 song, "What Will You Do With M-E?" They also made 3 videos including the critically acclaimed "Cherokee Highway" which dealt with racial violence in 1960's Mississippi. They became the first non-African American artist to perform at the Martin Luther King Day festivities in Atlanta in 1995.

Artist Bio:
Pat McLaughlin is a maverick. The revered, if a bit enigmatic, singer, songwriter and guitarist has spent years honing his layered style. Dedicated only to the pursuit of a new groove or an old feeling, his songs rehash the sights and sounds of a reformed nomad with roots in Iowa, footprints in San Francisco, New Orleans and Chicago, and a home in Nashville.
Raised in Waterloo, Iowa, McLaughlin landed in San Francisco, California, in the early 1970s. He had given college in Arizona a try but found the lure of music unshakable. In California, Pat began to write songs, playing alone at open mic nights and in the streets near the bay.
After a brief stint in Boston, the late 1970s took McLaughlin to Nashville. The city's rich pockets of ace musicians and elite songwriters soon ensnared Pat, who formed a band and began gigging around town. Carpentry paid his early bills, and McLaughlin released his first album in 1980. Two consecutive projects for Los Angeles' Capitol Records followed. Produced by Mitchell Froom (Elvis Costello, Daniel Powter), Pat released his eponymous major label debut in 1988. 1989's Get Out and Stay Out, also produced by Froom, featured a supporting cast of virtuosos including keyboardist Ian McLagan, and another dose of McLaughlin-penned gems. His sound, deliciously organic and rooted in soul, aged well and demanded room to breathe.
In the late 1980s, McLaughlin experienced his first slice of mainstream country music success: Steve Wariner recorded Pat's "Lynda." Wariner's version climbed to the top of the charts, winning Pat his first BMI Country Award in 1988.
Drawn to New Orleans drummer Carlo Nuccio's style, McLaughlin retreated to Louisiana in 1990. He remained based in Nashville but played constantly with a band featuring Nuccio in New Orleans. The city's salt and sweat seeped into McLaughlin's sound, and for 6 years, he explored, played and immersed himself in the town's bold music community.
In 1992, Tanya Tucker and Delbert McClinton had a hit with McLaughlin's "Tell Me About It" - another BMI award coupled with a mainstream asterisk for the reluctant Nashville songwriter.
During the New Orleans years, Pat also released records produced by friends Jim Rooney (Hal Ketchum) and Ben Keith (Neil Young). In 1997, along with former Subdudes Tommy Malone and Johnny Ray Allen, plus drummer Kenneth Blevins, McLaughlin formed Tiny Town. The quartet recorded one self-titled album, produced by Bernie Leadon (The Eagles), in 1998.
2000's Uncle Pat showcased more of the adept guitarist's blithe compositions. Next Five Miles followed suit, setting critic tongues wagging. Co-produced by McLaughlin and guitar wunderkind Kenny Greenberg, Next Five Miles drew rave reviews from hipsters across the country, including the Chicago Sun-Times, who listed the album among its top roots projects of the year.
McLaughlin's compositions have been recorded by a jaw-dropping array of artists including Bonnie Raitt, Alan Jackson, Taj Mahal, Trisha Yearwood, Al Kooper, Nanci Griffith, Josh Turner, Shawn Camp and Don Williams. Gary Allan recorded Pat's "Songs About Rain," securing yet another BMI Country Award for McLaughlin. An in-demand studio musician, Pat's guitar "chunking" finessed projects by Jamie Hartford, Rosanne Cash, Julie Roberts, Don Williams, Al Cooper, Shawn Camp, Cowboy Jack Clement, Neil Diamond and many more.
As further testament to McLaughlin's skill, engineer David Ferguson called on Pat to play acoustic guitar for the final Johnny Cash recording sessions. A frequent collaborator of John Prine, Pat McLaughlin frequently finds himself working alongside legends. Rolling Stone called McLaughlin "a tasty, rootsy gem," while he prompted the Tennessean's Peter Cooper to spout poetry: "Groove and soul, slink and stutter, groove and soul, wisdom and pain, groove and soul."
In 2006, McLaughlin released Horsefly, again featuring the co-production credits of McLaughlin and Kenny Greenberg. Loose but focused, the tracks ebb and flow seamlessly, offering wry observations on life's satisfactions and misfires. "No one since Dan Penn has better mixed '60s soul idioms with country music sentiment," proclaimed the Chicago Sun-Times. "Pat McLaughlin is an American treasure."
