Faith Schueler

Since then, she has released an EP as well as several other original singles and four music videos, three of which were featured on CMT's music website.

Tanner Cherry

Born in Adrian, MI but moving to TN in 2000, Tanner has been living in or near Nashville most of his life. Growing up he was extremely shy and never sang for anyone until 16 y/o, but since then has gradually found himself in music and the songs he plays & writes. With a style ranging from Dermot Kennedy & Jack Johnson to Jason Mraz & John Mayer, Tanner enjoys trying to create a sound that best exemplifies the idea or emotion he is portraying in the songwriting itself with hopes of connecting to the listener.

Zandi is currently working on recording more songs for her many fans who are eagerly anticipating new music to come.

Dariann Leigh

For Dariann Leigh, this is so much more than country music. From her one-stop town in Karlstad, Minnesota, Dariann captured the star power of the original women of country music from lyrics bleeding through the static-filled radios and scratched CDs; even in the middle of nowhere, those melodies set the scene for a dream that would ultimately definite the course of her entire life. Dariann Leigh doesn't just want to make music, she wants to write the soundtrack for hairbrush singers, dashboard drummers, and air guitar players everywhere.

Carter Windham

Carter Windham is a Charleston-based singer/songwriter known for his honest lyrics, soulful rasp, and rooted sound. Steeped in the rich storytelling of classic Texas Country & Americana, Carter’s music draws inspiration from artists such as the great Robert Earl Keen and modern Western icon Ryan Bingham.

A native of Bossier City, Louisiana, Carter’s musical allure began early. Once an aspiring country star herself, his mother instilled a deep love for music in him as a child. His older brother William, a trained acapella vocalist and life-long musician, taught him his first notes on the guitar, which sparked his desire to one day pursue a career as a songwriter.

At age 24, Carter is now manifesting that dream. He returned to Shreveport’s Foxtrot Studios earlier this year to record his debut EP, which is set to release later this Summer.

Nolan Sotillo

He starred in numerous projects including Disney’s Prom to FOX’s Red Band Society (produced by Steven Spielberg.) Even as a successful actor, Sotillo never gave up on his songwriting passion and continued to make music when he wasn’t busy on set. Today, with a full-time focus on music, Sotillo has been in the studio writing and recording. With a sound that encompasses intimate ballads, timeless country anthems, the spirit of rock, the bounce of funk, and the universality of pop –Sotillo has cultivated his own sound that showcases his depth and versatility.
