 Barry
Morrison,born March 20,
1949,
in Red River Gorge, Kentucky, is an American country music
singer-songwriter. This multi-talented artist is largely
identified with the country rock/Americana
genre(s) of music, and is best known
for his 1970's cult-classic "Snakey
Hollow Stud"; a song released on the RCM Records label which
charted on the Independent Country Music Charts at number one.
Based on this initial
success, Morrison received a 1971 first round nomination
for Country Male Vocalist of the Year. In the
interveining years, several other
of Morrison's releases have entered into a top five chart
position, with "There Ain't No
Country" being the only other of his songs to reach number one.
The offer to record his music on his own
terms for a Nashville-based label lead Morrison back to
recording and performing in 2007. Given the opportunity, he
took a bare bones approach to recording the highly acclaimed
roots music album; "A Cold Wild Wind". That year saw him
touring solo throughout the central and southeastern United
States in support of the album release. In 2009, Morrison
recorded outstanding cover versions of "Folsom Prison Blues"
and "Good Hearted Woman" in preparation for headlining and
promoting the 2010 Walk the Line-Good Hearted Woman Tour. In
April 2012, Morrison returned to the studio to record more
original material. Backed by bassist Paul Martin, better known
as "The Apostle", the Americana
Music Association 2006 Instrumentalist of the Year, Kenny
Vaughn and dobro virtuoso Matt
DeSpain. The Barry Morrison
discography chronicles the very powerful musical output of a
consummate singer-songwriter. The lyrics from one of his songs
proclaims, "I'm a hundred miles of bad road, I'm a bridge
washed out". Luckily, he found the way around it all. |

| Joe Crafa was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He became interested in music of the thirties and forties while listening to his parents' record collection and became influenced by the styles of Dick Haymes, Bing Crosby, and several other artists of that era. Joe was the lead singer for several "oldies" groups while living in New York. He played tenor saxophone and performed at resorts in the Catskill Mountains of New York state. After marrying he moved to New Jersy and discontinued any public performances. He moved to Casey County, Kentucky in 2005 and in 2009 was "drafted" by his friends to help start an open mic at Uncle Bob's in Stanford, Kentucky.It was there that he first heard Leah Clark perform. The two tried an unrehearsed song together at the open mic, which was so well received that they decided to form a duet. |
.jpg) Jon
Nesbitt, a Pennsylvania native, has had one desire in life --
to be a successful musician and songwriter. At the age of 14
he started playing guitar and writing songs. He soon realized that
the more instruments he could play, the easier it would be to get
into a band. At the age of
17 he learned to play drums and bass guitar. The piano soon
followed. Jon was being influenced by musicians such as John
Lennon, Bob Dylan and the guitar playing of Jimi Hendrex.
Jon realized
that a true musician should be open to different styles of music
from rock and blues to folk and country. This thinking
has helped him develop his own style. Over the years he has
worked with many of Central Kentucky's top country and rock variety
bands. He has also preformed as a solo act.
Jon doesn't
want to be classified as a "one style writer". He wants to be
known as a true musician, songwriter and performer. With his
love for music and a God given talent,
Jon has the ability to succeed. |
