BIO: Oklahoma native Amber Hayes first broke onto the Country music scene after her starring role as Kathy Twitty in the 2008 Conway Twitty musical, It’s Only Make Believe.

Artist: Bill Griese
Title: I Will, I Do (The Wedding Song)

BIO: Bill Griese is a Nashville singer/songwriter with a soothing style of acoustic pop music, with a few other genre-departing surprises thrown in. He is often compared to the likes of James Taylor, Jackson Browne and Paul Simon, as well as several newer artists such as Jack Johnson, Ryan Adams and Donovan Frankenreiter. Bill’s sound is rich with musical and lyrical honesty. “If you like James Taylor, you will LOVE Bill Griese,” says RadioIndy. “Too Long Coming,” was Bill’s 2nd CD and featured the single “Zoom” which was featured in a national TV commercial by Fujifilm last winter. His 2013 singles are as opposite on the spectrum as possible: “I Will, I Do (The Wedding Song)” is warm, intimate exploration of the emotions a young bride and groom experience on their wedding day, while Bill’s latest track “R U Ready” is a driving, energy-popping sports hip-hop anthem with a guest appearance by NJ rapper Heathen. Those two tracks encapsulate Griese’s unusual breadth as an artist.

BIO: Courtney Rau may look and sound a bit like one of the biggest country artists of her generation, Taylor Swift, but like Taylor she’s much more than what first meets the eye or just the voice behind some sunny, catchy tunes full of teen angst. The 15-year-old could definitely be considered an old soul in fact, with a demeanor and talent far beyond her years. And with one listen to her debut CD, it’s clear she has a voice that was destined to be heard.

BIO: Singer-songwriter Steve Schultz’s uplifting introspection as a lyricist and anthemic musicality has garnered him favorable comparisons to Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, and Ben Folds. After a well-received debut, the Hudson Valley, New York based artist returns with Over The Edge, a watershed album of creativity with fresh pop-rock instrumentation and timeless songcraft.
