Pam Rose is a two-time Grammy nominee singer/songwriter. She is half of Kennedy/Rose, a female duo that opened for Sting on a world tour. She has written several #1 hits in the Contemporary Country market including Martina McBride’s “Safe in the Arms of Love”, Restless Heart’s crossover hit “I’ll Still Be Loving You”, and Lee Greenwood’s “Ring on Her Finger, Time on Her Hands”.

Although classically trained, she has never betrayed her roots in acoustic rock and folk, nor her Southern soul. "I never thought there was much difference between a Taj Mahal blues riff or Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings," says Rose.

Following is an extract of a brief bio, written by Susan Passi-Klaus, from the Nashville City Paper:
Born to singer mom-Carmen Revelle-who performed with the house band at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Benita Hill has the music of the late 1940s and early 50s in her bluesy blood. But she's also got rocknroll in her toes, jazz in her vocal chords and pop and Latin music in her fingertips. Lucky for Nashville, and many top recording artists, shes also blessed with a little bit of country in her soul.
Now adopted as a hometown girl, Hill both writes and sings songs that you no doubt have sung along to at one time or another: Garth Brooks Two Pina Coladas and Its Your Song; Kirk Whalums The Moment I Prayed and I Loved You In Memphis performed by Isaac Hayes. She has worked with producer Ben Folds on a CD of original songs by William Shatner . Recently, Benita had a song she co-wrote with legendary Brill Building era songwriter Philip Springer (most famous for Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt and How Little We Know by Frank Sinatra) premier in the New York show The Last Songbird in December 2005 .
Benitas is the Santa Baby voice for Jaguar Automobiles .MORE >>>>

Danny Flowers may be best known for having penned classic hits for other artists, but as a solo artist his bluesy blend of raw emotion combined with a heartfelt yearning will speak to your very soul. Danny’s instrumentality has also earned him a high level of notoriety in the industry. 

Eric Clapton said, “I think this [music] is tremendous.  I consider Danny a good friend and a great musician in the truest, old school country-rock style.  There is just not enough of this kind of stuff around any more.” More quotes on Danny >>>>>HERE>>>>
Flowers’ writing credits span several genres and his flexibility as a guitarist and wordsmith is well-known. He penned “Tulsa Time” for Eric Clapton, which Don Williams also cut.  Williams then had hits with “Back In My Younger Days,” “Senorita,” and “To Be Your Man.”  Emmylou Harris recorded “Before Believing” as the title cut for her Pieces Of The Sky album. “Gulf Coast Highway” was recorded by Emmylou and Willie Nelson as well as by Nanci Griffith and Evangeline. The list goes on.
With all this under his belt, Flowers still manages to maintain the poise and humility of a Zen master while tossing off riffs with incredible taste and feeling reminiscent of Ry Cooder’s gospel-like grooves with the slide guitar virtuosity and delicate upper-register vocal vibratos of David Lindley.
Danny Flower’s latest release is the critically acclaimed “Tools For the Soul”, his stunning debut on Brash Records and available now. Above information provided bu M. Hitchcock Managememt. ( Danny.s myspace)
