COUNTRY PALOOZA 3

Like many artists, Robin grew up in a musical family and moved to Nashville to pursue her dream. She and her band played in clubs all over town. She wrote over 500 songs with more than 130 songwriters. During that time, she joined a group called the Young Riders which included her friends Blake Shelton, Rachel Proctor, and Ryan Murphey. Before long, the buzz reached Music Row. Robin signed her first record deal in 2000 with Sony/Columbia Records. Sony was so impressed with her production style, they asked her to coproduce an album with several acclaimed producers. During the following year, she recorded with Paul Worley, Kyle Lehning, George Massenburg, and Kim McLean.
In December 2005, Robin signed a new deal with Aspirion/Brass Ring Records. In early 2006, she finished the video for her new single, "I'm The One," which was seen on CMT.com . Robert K. Oermann of Music Row calls the single, "Moody, smoky, and sultry," and he mentioned Robin as one of a few inde artists who are really "stepping up to the plate to challenge the major leaguers" (Music Row, 2006). Her self-titled album was released on September 19, 2006. Robin is currently on a radio tour promoting the single and she continues to "gather fans and believers in her wake."

	In today’s world of over produced country music that is made for the masses, it’s not always a bad thing to be a little left of center or to do things your own way and not have 25 people looking over your shoulder telling you what to be, what to wear, how to sing and which songs to sing. That road that is a little left of center is the exact road that the members of the John D. Hale Band intend on taking. Be it wrong or be it right, the JDHB is dead set on making country music their own way - without exceptions. www.myspace.com/johndhaleband
	This talented singer/songwriter from College Station, Texas, first became interested in country music as a profession at an early age. Inspired by artists such as Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Jackson Browne, Tim set out to find his own voice in the music he loved. Listen and you'll agree, Tim has found his own voice. www.timfralik.com
	Shawn Jennings and the Southern Roots Band have been burning up the Texas dance halls and honky tonks for the last few years with their own brand of music. Country, rock and even bluegrass find their way into songs penned by Shawn Jennings, lead singer and songwriter. With their debut CD release in December 2003, the band has received radio airplay across Texas and some overseas. The song "Emily" still fills the dance floors, as does the title track "I need A Margarita". Now with the release of their second album entitled "Broken Wings", the band shows the growth and maturity that will take them to the next level. The first single "Some Broken Hearts Never Mend", hit the airwaves October 2005. This song captures the rich vocals, tight harmonies and honest music that the band has become known for. www.southernrootsband.com
	“The album ‘This Round’s On Me’ is truly a genuine collage of songs dug from the bar ditches of a hidden, less traveled caliche road. After playing his share of bar scene sets, Beau has developed what has become a sense of what the music in his mind sounds like. The songs consist of stories & descriptions of people & places found in the pastures of small town life. "What a treat it has been having the opportunity of sharing the stage with folks like Hayes Carll, Adam Carroll, Larry Joe Taylor, Max Stalling and other unbelievable songwriters. An amazing feeling I simply can’t describe & appreciate heartily.” As a special treat, fiddle/mandolin extraordinaire Josh Droegemueller will sit in and accompany Beau in an acoustic set for Country Palooza! A lonesome cryin' fiddle & guitar strings, sure to tell a good story..... www.beauhinze.com

	I'm a young female country artist! I just recently turned 16, and I perform at different venues all over Texas and some in Nashville Tennessee. I have been pursuing my dream to become a professional singer since I was about 4 years old! You can here my first single on radio stations across Texas and Oklahoma. KTTX in Brenham, TX, which is 106.1 FM on your radio was the first to play me but I now have 20 additional stations playing "On My Own Two Feet". My second single "If Leavin' Leaves You Lonely" spent several weeks bubbling under the Texas Country music charts top 50! www.myspace.com/andreayoungmusic
