SUMMARY:Kelli Johnson and Friends\, Ava Paige\, Allie Colleen and Baker Grissom
DESCRIPTION:Kelli Johnson \nBorn and raised in North Alabama \, Kelli Johnson was steeped in a diverse range of influences\, from Bluegrass\, Country\, Gospel\, Motown\, to Rock and Pop. Her rootsy twang\, powerhouse vocals and Award-Winning songwriting\, have allowed her to develop that distinctive style that is all her own \nAs a Singer Songwriter\, Kelli pours her heart and soul into every song she writes. Her music has connected with audiences across the world and has been featured in national TV commercials\, independent films\, and recordings by popular independent and major label artists alike. \nHer music is a reflection of her personality – authentic\, honest\, and relatable. \nShe strives to create music that tells a meaningful story and evokes emotion in listeners. \nKelli has toured as a solo artist\, opening for with Bluegrass favorites The Distant Cousins and Sweetwater Road\, and as a duo with multi-instrumentalist Barry Waldrep. \nKelli lives just outside Nashville\, TN where she continues to write\, perform\, and coach other creatives. \nAva Paige \nFor several years now\, even the most experienced songwriters in Nashville have been both astonished and thankful they were put in a room with 18-year-old country music artist Ava Paige. Paige is simply not your average up-and-coming young hopeful. She is an entire world apart. \nWriting songs since she was small and taking guitar lessons since 7 years old\, she is decidedly unique from other teenagers. Her idols have always been the creators of songs\, and she has never wavered in her desire to be one of them. An innate understanding of lifetimes past with her naturally young perspective has proven beneficial in her delivery of any song. This skill is especially reflected in her writing\, which is why she continues to work with some of the industry’s best\, including Marla Cannon-Goodman ( “The Fool” /Lee Ann Womack)\, Kendell Marvel (“Either Way /Chris Stapleton)\, Terri Jo Box (“God Bless the Boy”/Cody Johnson)\, Tony Lane (Little Past Little Rock/ Lee Ann Womack) Tina Parol (“Champagne Night”/Lady A) and Artists such as Drake White\, Craig Campbell\, and Charles Esten. \nWith her music career traveling in the fast lane\, Paige was delivered a blow just before her 15th birthday. She was diagnosed with leukemia. Gigs and songwriting were put on hold and replaced with chemotherapy treatments. Ava is excited to announce she finished all treatments for leukemia on Dec 13th 2021 and is Cancer Free! Paige is determined to pay it forward by forming her own charity\, Pick’n and Kick’n Cancer With Ava Paige. She’s also involved with a number of other similar charities including Rally Foundation\, Leukemia Lymphoma Society\, and is even Children’s Miracle Network’s 2022 National Ambassador. With the help of these charities\, Page helped raise over 10 million dollars for childhood cancer research and children’s Hospitals. \nAllie Colleen Brooks \nAllie Colleen is a Country Artist\, singer and songwriter who recently released her well-received debut album\, STONES. Her music style defines how life shaped her\, alongside the personal lyrics and transparency in her vocals and performance. Allie Colleen is no stranger to the music industry and has a passion for singing and songwriting since a young age has garnered her a reputation of being a notable songwriter with an iconic-sounding voice. Her impeccably strong voice with hints of timeless tradition falls between classic and emerging country sounds. The room never fails to silence as Allie Colleen begins to sing about the layers of love and heartbreak that have shaped her. Unlike most today\, some of her newest songs bring well-thought-out lyrics and a special connection to the song. With more than 351K followers on Instagram\, Facebook\, Twitter and TikTok combined\, she is one of the most powerful and popular female independent label acts on a trajectory to stardom. \nBaker Grissom \nBaker Grissom is a country music artist and songwriter from Little Rock\, Arkansas. Baker’s music is a strong mix of Friday night and Sunday morning. \nAfter a couple million streams of his first few releases – “Sunday\,” “Workin’ Man\,” and “Drink for That” — Grissom has brought in Grammy Award-winning producer Ben Fowler (Eric Clapton\, Rascal Flatts\, Maddie & Tae\, Kelsea Ballerini\, Jameson Rodgers\, Kris Kristofferson\, Lynyrd Skynyrd) to cut his sophomore project\, in which they have released “Beer Joint” & “Her on Out” with several more coming early next year. \nWhatever songs Grissom has written so far\, and whatever songs he writes in his very bright future\, they’re sure to be solid country gold. Because that’s the lane he’s driven to be in\, and he’s not veering off course any time soon. “The more I live it\,” he says\, “the more I love it.”

SUMMARY:Vicki Peterson (The Bangles) and John Cowsill (The Beach Boys) with opener Beth Bombara
DESCRIPTION:VICKI PETERSON & JOHN COWSILL\nBIOGRAPHY\nVicki Peterson of The Bangles (whose work includes #1 hit “Walk Like An Egyptian and several other Top 10 songs\, such as Eternal Flame which is the biggest single by an all female band in history teams up with John Cowsill\, drummer/vocalist for The Beach Boys for over 23 years and original member of the platinum selling family band\, The Cowsills to lovingly present their debut Americana album comprised of songs written by John’s late brothers\, Barry and Bill Cowsill titled\, Long After The Fire.\n. . .\nMORE ABOUT US\nVicki is a founding member of the 1980’s group The Bangles\, one of the most successful bands of that decade with over 6 million gold and platinum albums sold. Their music has been synced on screen in everything from Austin Powers to Stranger Things and has transcended generations with more than 6 million current monthly listeners on streaming platforms\, 390 million views on TikTok\, and over half a billion channel views on YouTube as of 2024. \nPeterson later wrote and performed with her good friend (and eventual sister-in-law) Susan Cowsill as The Psycho Sisters. The duo soon found themselves absorbed into the critically acclaimed New Orleans songwriters collective The Continental Drifters and remain with them today. Throughout the 90’s\, Vicki stayed active appearing on albums withTom Petty\, John Doe\, Hootie & The Blowfish\, Belinda Carlisle and also toured with The Go-Go’s on their 1994-1995 reunion tour. The Bangles reunited in the 21st century to release four more albums. \nAt 7 years old\, John began working in clubs\, singing and playing drums with his family. The Cowsills became a worldwide sensation in the late 1960’s playing The Ed Sullivan Show\, and Johnny Carson Show programs both 3 times\, The Johnny Cash Show twice and enjoyed several Top 20 hits including “Hair” (#1 in four countries and #2 on US Billboard) The Rain\, The Park\, & Other Things” (#2 on US Billboard with over 3 million copies sold). In 1981\, John landed on the Tommy Tutone hit\, “867-5309 (Jenny).” He also toured with Jan and Dean before becoming a mainstay of the Beach Boys touring band\, playing guitar\, piano\, and finally sitting at the drum kit for over two decades playing an average of 180 concerts per year. John made many television appearances with the band including Good Morning America 7 times\, The Today Show 6 times. \nBeth Bombara \nIt’s not that it’s retro\, really\, but there is something of a different era about her music – an earnest\, organic depth that feels natural and easy. Bombara’s songwriting lives in the 4 corners of folk\, blues\, americana and rock\, and her ability to float between them captures her essence. Bombara spent years on the road in other bands before encouragement from peers led her to start writing and performing her own music. “I never set out to be a lead singer\,” she admits. But now\, writing and singing has become her favorite thing.
