Brand new music
from Sunny Sweeney, Sturgill Simpson & Ricky Skaggs and classics from Buck
Owens, Porter Wagoner and Connie Smith plus Jim Photoglo is the featured
songwriter
Wild Ponies
The band is
built around the Virginia-born brother-sister duo of Doug and Telisha Williams,
with Jake Winebrenner on drums and a number of backing musicians. Sweet-voiced
Telisha also plays bass and keyboards, while Doug sings on a few tracks and
contributes guitar. A capable stable of musicians fleshes out their sonic
palette, but the defining factor in most of these songs is the voice, either
Telisha’s sweet, slightly wistful tones or Doug’s more rugged, straightforward
delivery.....Read More Album Review

Rhett Walker
Band is a Southern rock and Christian rock band from Nashville, Tennessee. The
band is composed of Rhett Walker (vocals), Kenny Davis (drums) and Joe Kane
(guitar).
The band's debut single "When Mercy Found Me" was a Grammy
nominated song.
The band
released their debut studio album under the Essential Records label on July 10,
2012 called COME TO THE RIVER.
Rhett Walker is
not like any rising Christian musician you have met before or will meet again
soon. The outspoken 25-year-old son of a preacher was born and raised around
the South, his mellow yet animated voice a sure mix of Georgia and the
Carolinas. In that drawl, he tells an intense wild oats story tempered by God’s
grace, a testimony that fuels the deep-fried rock and deep- down worship on
Rhett Walker Band’s debut, Come To The River....Read more
Their new single
is being promoted by Grass Roots Promotions. The Southern rockers who performed
at the renowned Grand Ole Opry in July will be releasing the new album, 'Here's
To The Ones' in October.

“Things That
Used To Shine” - “I happen to think the
title track is the best” - Marie
Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Genre:
Americana, Folk, Alt-Country
Members: Doug,
Telisha Williams
Record label:
Ditch Dog Records
Current
Location: East Nashville
Wild Ponies run
the gamut of styles from folk to Americana to alt-country, stepping deftly from
easygoing swing to Crazy Horse-ish rattle-and-thump to the plaintive
sentimentality of traditional twangin’ country (which has little in common with
Nashville’s silky-smooth version of the same)
Dead right, honest
songwriting delivered in a hauntingly beautiful yet gritty, neo-traditional
Americana wrapper. Doug and Telisha, now residing in the new Bohemian Mecca of
East Nashville, write songs about a place where old time religion,
superstition, run down bars, gravel parking lots and boarded up factories all
mingle together.
Their release,
“GHOST OF THE KNOXVILLE GIRL”, received wide critical acclaim, and spent 15
weeks in the Americana
Music
Association Top 40 Radio Chart, landing a spot as one of the top 100 Americana
Albums of 2010.
Written during a
busy year on the road, THINGS THAT USED TO SHINE is an album about leaving somethings
behind…and meeting others head-on. It’s also the studio debut of Wild Ponies. Released by the
band’s newly formed independent label, DitchDog Records, Things That Used To Shine finds Telisha opening up about the
skeletons that have haunted her closet for years. Grammy-winning producer Ray
Kennedy (Steve Earle, LucindaWilliams) recorded the album’s 12 songs in three
days.

Artists to Watch in 2014 by Billboard 615 Picks (by Chuck Dauphin) who
wrote:
Typically, teenage acts don't necessarily blow us away, but this native
Texan is a little different. Her debut single is called "Into The
Circle," and is a tribute to the world famous Grand Ole Opry, and she
shows plenty of promise on the track. She's contemporary – but has one ear
planted towards the heritage of the format!
Kaylee is currently attending college in Nashville studying music business.
