Julliette was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and raised in a small town called Lacombe known for its Creoles and American Indians that is North of Lake Pontchartrain, the second largest salt-water lake in the United States that covers an area of 630 square miles with an average depth of 12 to 14 feet, located in Southeastern Louisiana. And, her love for Rhythm & Blues and Gospel music was set in motion at the young age of eight years old.
Julliette's performance is not just a show; it is an experience... This charge of energy has undeniably played a major role in Julliette developing her silky-satin and sultry-sexy provocative style and alluring stage presence.

JESSICA LYNN combines the sultry sounds of her Louisiana heritage with the backbone of her gospel upbringing in an entourage of blues, southern rock and pop rock original and cover songs. Her band has played the north central Louisiana club circuit for the last year and a half, and with a recent record deal, the group is ready to rock their way across the southern states to promote the music of their main attraction, Jessica Lynn.
With an edge reminiscent of some of southern rock’s most popular bands, Jessica Lynn spins a soulful female perspective on love, living and loss. Belting out classic cover songs like "Simple Man"; "Come To My Window"; "Fire" and "I'd Rather Go Blind" - Jessica Lynn connects with the audience every bit as much as she does the songs she sings. Crowd pleasing comes naturally for the band members with a list of cover songs that play like a mantra to their blues loving audiences. The band makes a collaborative effort to keep the bar jammed and the dance floor full. The band opened for Louisiana music greats, Irma Thomas and Jo-el Sonnier this past spring and is scheduled to open for Sammy Kershaw on August 19th.
JESSICA LYNN is available as an opening act for headliners, private parties, weddings and honkey-tonks across the south.
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
We are a four piece band who plays rockabilly, country and oldies covers with our originals thrown into the mix. We have great stage presence and are very high energy. we try to ensure that everyone has a great time.
