KIRSTEN DAUGAARD

Kirsten Daugaard kommer fra Kristiansand, har sunget “så lenge hun kan huske“, men har tidligere kun hatt tilfeldige opptredener, da familien har hatt førsteprioritet.

Sammen med Ole Morten Andersen fra Lillesand startet Kirsten duoen «Six o’clock news» våren 2012. Dette resulterte både i spillejobber samt CD’en “Ready for the times to get better“ som lokalt fikk mye positiv omtale.

Ved utgangen av 2012, valgte de to imidlertid å oppløse duoen, og Kirsten fortsetter nå som soloartist, hun har med seg Bengt Vagle som gitarist og vokalist på enkelte låter. Samt at Kirsten også opptrer for seg selv enkelte ganger.

Kirsten har en særegen stemme, og en musikalsk innlevelse som fasinerer lytteren,

noe som har resultert i radiospilling i en rekke land. Responsen har vært god og positiv.

2013 har vært et innholdsrikt år for Kirsten, hun har hatt en rekke oppdrag rundt om i Norge og arrangørlisten vokser i rask tempo. Å få være med Arne Benoni og åpne hovedsenen på Vinstra countryfestival var høydepunktet for Kirsten, sett alle konserter under ett i 2013.

Opptreden med Highway Connection på bransjefest i Sandefjord må også nevnes.

Samarbeid med Arne Benoni som produsent har i 2013 resultert i Kirsten`s første solo album som nå er kommet ut. Vokalen er spilt inn hos Arne Benoni recording studio i Sandefjord, musikk og kor er innspilt i Nashville T.N

Albumet har Kirsten valgt å kalle COUNTRY MUSIC MY WAY, denne tittelen er valgt på grunn av at albumet inneholder 12 låter som dekker de fleste sjangere innen country som Kirsten sammen med sin produsent Arne Benoni har tolket på sin måte.

8 dager i mai var ho på countryklubber i Danmark , Som og resulterte i tvopptak

Laila Hansen fra Eydehavn øst for Arendal.

Laila Hansen fra Eydehavn øst for Arendal. Vokste opp med sang og musikk, og en far som spilte på de fleste Instrumenter. I en alder av 10 spilte hun offentlig på et Røde Kors-arrangement hjemme. Senere i ungdommen hun opptrådte litt med Sørlands trubadur heter Knutta, hun drev også aktivt friidrett i ungdomsårene som tok mesteparten av tiden hennes. Hun kom tilbake til musikk i voksen alder, og det var spesielt countrymusikk som var hennes hjerte nærmest. I den fant hun mange sjangere fra pop, rock, jazz og tradisjonell. Hun ventet lenge og var beskjeden til å slippe en cd, men endelig sluppet sin debut cd "Never Again" i 2003 på initiativ fra venner og bekjente. Hun hadde egentlig ikke  noen planer med det, men det viste seg at det ville bli godt mottatt av publikum

Albumet Never Again" kan du kjøpe her http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/lailahansen

                                               

11 år er gått siden siste plateutgivelse ” Never Again ” en plate som ble veldig godt mottatt og som fortsatt selger bra og blir spilt mye på radio i Norge og i utlandet.

reiste da til Nashville i Tennessee for å leve ut drømmen: litt av en sjanse å ta når man drar til USA for å spille inn en plate for egen regning. 
- Men jeg gjør ikke dette for pengenes skyld, sier Laila.
- Jeg liker å glede folk og det er mye av drivkraften bak det jeg holder på med, legger hun til. Og selv om sangen ikke er levebrødet hennes, står oppgavene i kø for countrtartisten. Plateinnspilling i countryens mekka"From Nashville Whith love". Med seg på laget hadde hun produsenter og teknikker med mer enn 40 års erfaring, samt noen av Amerikas og Nashville’s beste musikere.

Hele produksjonen er utført i Nashville utenom trykk som er gjort her hjemme.

Austin Wahlert "Dirt Road Blues"2014

Austin Wahlert could not think of a better time to release his new album - Dirt Road Blues. Wahlert's roots run deep in the rodeo and the western lifestyle so it was fitting that the new album would include songs such as "Las Vegas Gold." 

Growing up on a ranch in Northern Colorado Offered this talented young singer / songwriter the opportunity two experience a true western lifestyle. The cowboy way of life has been etched into his spirit and continues to be an influential part of his singing and songwriting. The new album is no exception. You can expect heartfelt lyrics and music from a man who is dedicated to country music at its finest.

The Kentucky Headhunters

The Kentucky Headhunters created a hybrid of honky tonk, blues, and Southern rock that appealed to fans of both rock and country music. The origins of The Kentucky Headhunters lie in 1968, when Fred and Richard Young began playing together with their cousins Greg Martin and Anthony Kenney at the Youngs' grandmother's house. Mark Orr also later joined them. The first incarnation of the band was called the Itchy Brothers, and the group played together informally for over a decade. After about 13 years, the bandmembers began launching separate careers: Richard Young went off to write songs for Acuff-Rose, while Fred Young began touring with country beauty Sylvia. Martin became a member of Ronnie McDowell's band, while Kenney dropped out of music. In 1985, Martin decided to reassemble the Itchy Brothers. When Kenney declined to rejoin the group, Martin remembered Doug Phelps, whom he had met while on tour with McDowell. Phelps joined the new project, which was named The Kentucky Headhunters. Besides Martin and Phelps, the band also included the Young brothers and Doug's brother Ricky Lee Phelps.

The Headhunters started playing twice monthly on the Chitlin' Show, a radio program on WLOC Munfordville, Kentucky. From these 90-minute performances, The Headhunters built up a following. They sent an eight-song demo to Mercury, and soon after, the label signed the group. The original demo tape was remixed, and became the basis of the band's first album, 1989's Pickin' On Nashville, which received overwhelmingly positive reviews upon its release and quickly became a hit. "Dumas Walker" reached number 15 in the spring of 1990, followed by the group's biggest hit, the number six "Oh, Lonesome Me." In 1991, The Headhunters released their second effort, Electric Barnyard. The album received mixed reviews, couldn't muster a single, and sold weakly. In summer 1992, the Phelps brothers left the group to form Brothers Phelps, a more traditional country group. The remaining Headhunters brought ex-Itchy Brothers Anthony Kenney and Mark Orr to the group, and the rehashed lineup released Rave On! in 1993. The album marked a progression toward bluesy Southern rock, which came to fruition with That'll Work later that same year. In 1996, Doug returned on lead vocals, and a year later, the band issued Stompin' Grounds. Songs From the Grass String Ranch followed in 2000, and Soul appeared in spring 2003. Big Boss Man was released in 2005 and Flying Under the Radar in 2006, both from CBUJ Entertainment. Dixie Lullabies, the group's 12th album, and their first studio recording of new original material since 2003, appeared from Red Dirt Records in 2011. ~Biography by Johnny Loftus

Scott Dawson - 80 Miles To Nashville (2014)

This is the 3rd CD release from traditional country artist Scott Dawson. He is elated to have the opportunity to release yet another collection of original country songs. Recorded in Cincinnati, Ohio with the city's most polished session musicians, "80 Miles To Nashville" reclaims the heavy pedal steel/ twin fiddles combo that seems to be lost on today's country radio. His first 2 releases, "Dedicated Man" and "Many Years From Now" have received generous airplay worldwide and this new release promises to do the same. 2012 saw Scott perform his song "Sacred Circle" (A Grand Ole Opry Tribute) on RFD-TV's "Shotgun Red Variety Show" which is seen in approximately 1.2 million homes. His dream is to someday sing this song on the Grand Ole Opry. "80 Miles To Nashville" is Scott's bold new effort to reclaim country music's roots with songs ranging from a heartbroke fool to a single dad attending his only daughter's wedding. You won't be disappointed when you pop this CD .

Joshua Scott Jones - The Healing (2014)

Joshua Scott Jones, best known as one half of the country duo Steel Magnolia, released his debut solo album, The Healing, on Tuesday, June 3, 2014. The 11-track release is a collection of well written songs that reflect upon his journey over the past few years in an honest, personal and emotional way. Joshua wrote or co-wrote all eleven tracks as well as executive produced the record. He has said, “This has been a long time coming for me,” he said. “I feel like it’s really a chance for my voice to be heard.”

The Healing starts off with “Honk (If You’re Tonky),” but don’t think that this song sets the tone for the remainder of the album. The songs, especially on the back half of the record, really touch an emotional nerve and require one to listen to the lyrics to experience the impact of the songs.

Throughout the album, Joshua’s warm vocals touch on a variety of themes. Love and relationships are the focus of songs such as “City of Angels,” with its subtle fiddle and mandolin, “You & I,” “Rearview” and “Lover Let Me Show You My Heart,” which has a terrific old school country sound.

Piano and fiddle set the mood for “Just How A Heart Breaks” which was written at Cumberland Heights in Nashville, TN, where Jones completed his stay in rehab. “It wasn’t all a waste/’Cause we really know now/Just how a heart breaks.”

Of course there are up tempo numbers too, like the bluesy “Tennessee Blue” and the can’t get it out of your head “Whiskey Anthem” in which a relationship ends and he decides “Life’s too short its not worth the fight anymore/Don’t care what she said gonna paint this town red/Light it up like a star spangled night/Gonna call all my friends/Get lost all weekend/In a whiskey stompin’ goodbye lullaby.”

The album closes with the title track, “The Healing.” A powerful ballad that touches the heart and mind through the atmosphere the melody provides and Joshua’s delivery. “That spark in our eyes/That God was revealing/May the hurt that we’re feeling/Lead to the healing.”

I actually surprised myself by how much I liked this album. Seek out, give a listen and purchase The Healing.

Micah Lathrop - Revival (2014)

Born and raised in Chester, SC, population of around 5,500 people, Micah's church played a huge role in his life. Along with that, came the gospel and Christian Hymns which shaped his musical taste. He was always very inspired by the more complex, story-telling writers like Rich Mullin and in Micah's songs, you will hear a touch of that influence, as well as some southern rock, country and a bit of a Cajun style . 

As he got into his teen years and was introduced to more modern and secular music, he filled his days exploring every kind of music he could find. Once he discovered Aerosmith, despite a burn injury as a child that nearly cost him his right leg, he taught himself to play the drums. He also wrote his first song, "Travelin' Man" at about that time, and his been writing ever since. He knew from then on, becoming a successful musician was his dream and he has been working hard to reach that dream ever since.

In the Fall of 2011, Micah and his wife, Andi, moved to Columbus, Ohio and started performing on weekends together at different venues calling themselves Grapefruit Moon. Soon after, Micah was working at his job when he met their current drummer, Benjamin Premer. Shortly after that, they added the forth member, bass player Rob Trimmer to Grapefruit Moon, as well, and have been working hard to create even more amazing music.

Willie Nelson - Band of Brothers (2014)

The much-anticipated successor To All The Girls... (which became Willie's first Top 10 album in more than three decades when it was released in October 2013) Band of Brothers is the artist's first album of predominately new original material in nearly two decades, debuting the master tunesmith's first major batch of newly-penned songs since his Spirit album in 1996. "I got on kind of a writing kick," Willie Nelson said recently, "it's good to be writing again."

The influential songwriter--whose early successes brought pop and country together with unforgettable standards like "Crazy" (Patsy Cline), "Hello Walls" (Faron Young), "Funny How Time Slips Away" (Billy Walker), "Night Life" (Ray Price) and many others--has added nine new essential songs to his classic catalog. One of Willie's most personal albums to-date, the songs on Band of Brothers range from the introspective ("The Wall" and "Send Me a Picture") to the rollicking ("Wives and Girlfriends" and "Used To Her").

Rounding out the album are five songs, penned by others, which compliment and unite the album's sonic textures and lyric themes. Included are Willie's interpretations of Vince Gill's "Whenever You Come Around", Billy Joe Shaver's "The Git Go" (a duet with Jamey Johnson) and the appropriately-titled "Songwriter," written by Gordie Sampson and Bill Anderson.
