Jenna, Benjamin and K.K. Johnson of Track 45 often tells audiences, "If you listen to us long enough, you'll eventually hear something you like!" They play and sing their own arrangements of Americana music with lots of tight three-part harmonies. These children have a tremendous amount of stage presence/audience appeal. They easily move from a capella spirituals to easygoing traditionals & folk to bluegrass--and they love it all. They started with singing telegrams and weddings (vocal and string/flute ensemble)in MS, but the entertainment directors at Dollywood asked them to sing for a week at their Bluegrass Festival, and they were hooked! They arrange all their own music, giving even old standards their "own" sound, and they've already written and performed some original song
Born to a classically trained opera singer, Virginia native Brinn Black has been immersed in music since birth. Raised in the small town of Chester Virginia, Brinn grew up singing in the church, and in her high school choir. All she ever wanted to do was make music so when it came time to choose a college, the obvious choice was simple: Music City's Nashville, Tennessee. Brinn was influenced by artists such as Reba McEntire and Martina McBride, but Brinn wanted to find her own sound in the music world. She decided to major in songwriting and didn't waste any time getting down to business; writing with such writers as Doak Turner, Brandon Maddox, Julie Grower, Chrissy Wicks, Nick Donely, and David Lee Brown. When Brinn says "my life is truly blessed" she's right. At the young age of twenty she's had the amazing privilege to perform at multiple venues in Nashville, Virginia, as well as Texas. Brinn has recently finished her first self titled EP and will start her radio tour to promote the album in January. Brinn relies on a deep-seeded street team of fans and friends to promote her shows and usually has an incredible turnout for each performance.
Three guys who grew up listening to their dad play Johnny Cash tunes on an acoustic guitar have embraced the spirit of independent rock & roll. From the backwoods of West Virginia, the dust of Oklahoma, and the pouring rain of Seattle, they've created their own brand of scruffy, intelligent rock.
It all began while cruising around small-town Oklahoma in an old LeBaron convertible, the mid-nineties mix of country music and alternative rock scratching through their FM radio. There the guys beat together their idea of what real music was, and what a band should be.
But their lives were about to take several twists and turns. Through the earliest years of the 21st century, they would move from Oklahoma to Seattle, from Seattle to living on the road, and from living on the road back to their original home of West Virginia.
It was while in WV, in a town with few venues and a sparse music scene, that they would first buckle down and do the one thing most bands fail to do - grow a huge, loyal audience. Where there had been no venues, they took a local movie theater, and made it one of the most popular ones around. Where there had been a sparse music scene, they helped grow a network of musicians and bands that captivated the area. And then, they started aiming for the biggest goal they could find: to fill Charleston, WV's Civic Center.
Riding a wave of anticipation, and looking for a way to grow geographically and musically, they made one final move, and headed for Nashville, TN.
From Nashville, the brothers have struck out into the college circuit, traveling as far as Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Clarion, Pennsylvania. They've been selected to play alongside performers like Sister Hazel, Gin Blossoms, and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts. And they've started doing what they do best - growing a huge, loyal audience.
