Artist Bio:
I released my debut solo album, Our Lives, in June 2011. The album was produced by Grammy-nominated producer Kent Wells, who is well known in Nashville for his work with Dolly Parton and others and recorded at The Sound Kitchen in Franklin, TN. No corners were cut in making this album and to date, it is the best representation of my artistic vision. You can hear the tracks on Spotify, Pandora, Reverbnation, my website (www.paulhadfieldmusic.com), or better yet - GO BUY IT ON iTUNES! I've been writing a lot over the last year or so and Kent and I currently planning to get back together this summer (2012) to start tracking more music!
LaGarron Chastain - guitar/vox
Mark Spellman - bass, vox
Daniel Hooker - drums

At the age of 15, while still in high school, Allie Farris formed her first band and begun playing small coffee shops and venues around her hometown of Flower Mound, Texas.

Nominated for North East CMA Entertainer of the Year and Best Male Vocalist, John has had a No. 1 on the MP3.com country chart with “There Goes the Neighborhood” and “Small Town” was featured in the movie American Reunion. “If you want to know where country is headed, just give a listen to John Karl,” says Rodney Phelps, a top Nashville attorney who also worked with Garth Brooks and Chris Cagle.

Artist Bio:
Born and raised in the cattle, coal, and rail town of Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia, it was clear that Richie Scholl was going to be exposed to country music. After listening to great country music wordsmiths such as Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard, along with the smooth multi-layered harmonies of the Eagles and guitar legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Richie knew exactly what he wanted to do.
After first picking up a guitar at age 13, it was barely a year before he was playing at licensed bars and clubs at least a couple of nights a week. Scholl has hardly put down the guitar since, which has allowed him to learn anything and everything from country, blues, and pop to rock. He later released his debut album "The Blacktop Junkie Guide to Richie Scholl" where his first single, "Blacktop Junkie" reached # 5 on the KixFM chart and the video reached #35. His second single "Madison County" reached #1 on the KixFM chart. Both singles still get regular airplay on radio stations throughout Australia.
Fast forward to today and Richie is no stranger to the road. For over a decade, he has been headlining shows at various clubs, bars, and casinos 5 to 6 nights a week, as well as playing for country acts like Chuck Wicks and Jason Michael Carroll.
Richie Scholl currently resides in Nashville, TN and is highly anticipating the release of his 3rd album, which is already receiving great reviews.

Artist Bio:
Its quite possible when hearing the term Gypsy you might find yourself conjuring up visions of the deep woods, thick, dark, and damp from the moist air. Imagine a caravan of travelers made up of eccentric women and men, all of whom are dressed in free flowing Bohemian garb. They are dancing, singing and playing music, enjoying life and the freedoms of the day. Envision a long wooden table filled with bread, wine and cheese, where generations of family members gather, reminiscing about the past while embracing the moment. The air is filled with an abundance of love and laughter, a mystical blend of living and life. It is evident that the love they have for family is matched only by the commitment to their family history and traditions.
