City Limits Phoenix stated, “Hart has emerged as one of Nashville's most impressive young artists. She's smart and thoughtful, with a playful, sassy side that quickly endears her to audiences.” She has been singing as long as anyone can remember and began writing her own songs at the age of 10; however, she first entered the public spotlight through the Miss America Organization in which she was crowned Miss Arizona 2013 and advanced to the Miss America Competition. It was this opportunity that allowed her the platform to share her story of overcoming Tourette Syndrome, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Social Anxiety. She has been featured on Us Weekly, The Today Show, Daily Mail and other major international networks, but most importantly she has had the chance to touch the lives of so many others who have struggled with the same or similar challenges. Never afraid of hard work, Hart believes she needs to continually push to better herself and this shows in her music. “Every time I push myself to do the very thing that scares me, I feel empowered and even more inspired to conquer all of my other fears.” The desire to work hard, push herself and reach people promises a bright future for Jennifer and her upcoming music.

We had a great conversation with country artist Clay Walker. We talked about so many things around his life, not just music. It was such a fun conversation we had. We talked God, family, music, sacrifices, he told some great stories plus a whole lot more! We also talked about Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Toby Keith and more!There's more to the duality of Clay Walker's debut Show Dog Nashville album Texas To Tennessee than the title. Certainly, the realities of place are as central as this comeback album's name implies: Nashville busily working toward the next fresh hit; Texas moving at its inimitable and familiar pace. There's also a mix of songwriting and production approaches, evident and more nuanced relationships between the songs themselves, and the overarching presence of a naturally gifted vocalist who relentlessly pursues his own development as a singer. But don't mistake those dualities for dichotomy – and certainly not polarity. In a storied career dotted with smash singles, platinum albums and countless honors and acclaim, maybe the connection between country's timeless themes and music-of-the-moment timeliness has been there all along.Many of the country fans behind the almost 20 million on-demand and video streams for his latest single "Need A Bar Sometimes" – who may also be among his 750,000 TikTok followers – are wholly unaware of Walker's history. Discovered in a Beaumont area bar by noted producer and head of Giant Records James Stroud (Toby Keith, Tracy Lawrence, Tim McGraw, Kenny Rogers), Walker was in his early twenties when he started rattling off a string of smash hits. Among them, “Live Until I Die,” "Dreaming With My Eyes Open," “This Woman And This Man,” "Hypnotize The Moon," "Rumor Has It," “Then What,” "I Can't Sleep" and "She Won't Be Lonely Long." His self-titled debut album rocketed to platinum status, the first of four to cross the million-sold mark. Racking up more than 30 charted singles and 11 No. 1s wasn't without its struggles, however."Being born and raised in the Houston area, I thought of myself in the line of George Strait and Clint Black, but my first producer had other ideas," Walker says. "James Stroud pushed me more towards pop sounds I fought with. What he was saying, and I think he was right, was, 'Clay, you've got some gears to you that will excite people if you let it.' I was young – 23 – and didn't really settle with that. But now I'm in a sweet spot in music, in life, and I definitely feel the audience has swung around to appreciating music that makes those connections."

We had a great conversation with Zoee on The Chris & Sandy Show. We talked about many things from family, music, sacrifices, she told some great stories including one about Rod Stewart plus a whole lot more!!!

The award-winning crossover pop-country Australian native - with her distinctive vocals and honest, emotional lyrics - is a star about to go Supernova. Most recently, Zoee won "Song of the Year" 2021 at the Women of Country Awards and "Best Folk Band/Duo/Group of the Year" and "Best Group of the Year" at the FPCM Awards 2020. Having already written and sung a feature film soundtrack, topped the Scottish New Music Charts, charted in the Top 20 on Amazon Country Chart, and toured the U.K, Ireland, and the U S., where she has performed at hundreds of festivals and support shows, played at the prestigious Bluebird Cafe and the CMA Festival in Nashville with her band, the future is bright for Zoee.Zoee recently moved to Nashville in 2022 and is currently collaborating with Grammy nominated and winning songwriters, including James House, Jeff Cohen, Steve Dorff and Kyle Jacobs to name a few. Critics are saying of Zoee's latest release "...'It Ain't Love' gives us an overall look at the signatures that Zoee brings to the table with very solid lyrics, a vocal ability that sees her utilizing the entire range of her voice to hit the emotional highs and lows, and a sound that throws it back to the powerhouse vocal era of 90's country, but she perfectly stays steeped in the here and now." - Jeffery Kurtis (Today's Country)
