– “New name to me, this is the particular track that really stood out” - Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Rank #8 US Minneapolis,
Country / Contemporary Country / Pop
Birth Name: Mindy Michelle Miller Born: February 5th, Liberal, KS
Hometown: Kismet, KS Label: Margdon Records Inc
LET IT BURN is the breakout album from country entertainer,
Mindy Miller. She was signed to Margdon Records, Nashville in early 2014. Mindy
is a veteran singer and songwriter that took an extended hiatus from the music
industry to care for her ill mother. Now, after the untimely loss of her
mother, Mindy has come back full steam ahead and more inspired than ever. This
is her third studio album release and the first in which a mainstream country
single, titled 'Wrong', is being released. Mindy Miller has always been
sophisticated in her delivery and this album adds a bit of sass to her message.
Biography
- Mindy Miller, grew up in the small town of
Kismet, KS, and began singing at her church at the age of five. Throughout
her childhood and teenage years, she also performed at many of the
functions in and around Liberal, KS. Along with singing in the school
choirs and show choirs, she performed in all the musicals in high school
and college.
- She began singing competitively at age fifteen,
appearing in state-wide televised telethons and hosting pageants. Mindy also
received the honor of opening for Diamond Rio, Ty Herndon, Tracy Lawrence,
Terri Clark, and John Berry at her local state fairs. Along with
developing her singing, Mindy learned to play the piano and began writing
music. Mindy furthered her education with an Associate’s Degree at
Hutchinson Community College and graduated from Fort Hays State University
with a Bachelor’s Degree, all the while continuing her singing career
throughout her studies.
- During college, Mindy began touring around
central Kansas with a band and eventually made it to Nashville to record
her first demo album in 1999, with current producer, Curt Ryle.
- At 22, she signed with an independent country
music label and went on to be nominated for the American Horizon Award and
Best Female Singer of the Year at the 1999 Independent CMA Germany Awards.
- She was also featured in the May 1999 edition of
“Country Music People” magazine.
- In 2000, Mindy recorded her second album
entitled “Perfectly” again with Ryle. When her mother fell ill to cancer
in 2000, Mindy wasn’t able to continue to fulfill her obligations with the
label. Her record deal was dissolved.
- Mindy took a break from music to focus on her
personal life and to deal with the death of her mother in 2003. However,
in 2010, she was presented with an opportunity to record a demo album in
Nashville, again with producer, Ryle. As a direct result of her renewed
commitment and passion, Mindy is now signed with Margdon Records,
Nashville, and has released her 3rd full length album, the 10 track “LET IT BURN.”
- Her CD Release Party took place at the Fiddle
& Steel Guitar Bar on Thursday May 8th, 2014 - Flyer
- Mindy currently resides in Minnesota and continues to serve as a member of the worship team at her church.

Bronwynne Brent
“Dark Highway” - “Primarily a folk album, I think this is
perfect for us” - Marie Crichton BBC Radio
Shropshire
Genre: Folk, Americana, Contemporary Folk, Music, Singer/Songwriter,
Alternative Folk
Hometown: Greenville, MS
Record label: None
Current Location: In between Mississippi and Texas
Born and raised in the Mississippi Delta, American roots songwriter
Bronwynne Brent has the kind of stop-in-your-tracks voice that sounds like
Southern sunshine. Though her new album, STARDUST, was recorded in
Seattle, it’s the kind of album that could only come out of the South. There’s
a hint of Delta blues behind the ache in her songs, a glimpse of honky-tonk
twang, an echo of riverboat can-cans, a whiff of Morricone, and an atmosphere
of the darker side of country songwriting. Harkening back to the glory days of
Lee Hazlewood and Gram Parsons, Brent’s songs tap into the dark undercurrent of
country that starts with old Appalachian murder ballads and continues to
today’s current crop of psychedelic country songwriters. Like a Juke Joint
Nancy Sinatra, Bronwynne Brent unites all the best elements of Southern American
roots music, and ties these many different influences into a sound that’s both
comforting and refreshing.
Recorded and produced by Johnny Sangster he brought in ace musicians
like drummer John Convertino of Calexico and bassist Keith Lowe (Fiona Apple,
Bill Frisell), and a diverse array of instrumentalists featuring everything
from trumpets to a Hammond organ, banjo, even a plucked piano, allowed Sangster
to carefully build the soundscape around each song.
“I loved being in Texas and living out in the hill country,” Brent
says. “It felt like the old west to me.
People still wear cowboy hats and hang out in front of the feed store. It's
surreal. I was by myself and would get a little spooked at night, so I would
fall asleep watching, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.”
From her beginnings as the youngest of four in a musical family – her
sister is blues pianist Eden Brent – to earning comparisons to some of music’s
brightest lights, Brent’s love of the “minor key” has served her well.
Brent says, "In this album, there is more room for my voice; I
think I am more exposed than I was on Deep Black Water.”
