ABOUT AUSTIN RILEY
Like so many artists, Austin Riley began his career playing and singing at an early age. His earliest musical experiences began in church. As Austin grew older, the sounds of Country music captured his heart and soul. At the age of fifteen he began singing to tracks as a solo artist at VFW halls throughout Oklahoma and Kansas. As an adult, songwriting became a love that is proving to be an asset for this rising star on the country scene. Austin loves the power of a song and hopes to share his songs with the world.

Austin Riley was born in Oklahoma, but is proud to call Nashville his home, where he relocated to pursue his career in music. His love for songwriting introduced him to several Nashville songwriters, and these introductions have resulted the great original music we’re lovin’ in “A Thousand Miles Of Memories Memories" released on the D and M Records Label in 2008.

“Austin Riley is one of those rare gems – and they don’t come along very often. This is some of the best country music we’ve heard in a long time and Austin Riley knows how to sing country music as it should be sung. His rich vocals, though all his own, are reminiscent of George Strait, and the great instrumentation and Austin’s delivery make every song on Austin’s debut album a stand-alone hit. This is a CD no country music fan should miss.” Dave Warren, CEO, D and M Records

There have been some great moments for Austin over the years. He has opened for John Conlee and several other Grand Ole Opry stars. The best way to describe Austin's music is "Country." He loves the traditional style, but also has a flair for the new.

Currently Cashbox Magazine’s #1 Country Indie pick, #1 Country pop, #1 Country rock, #5 Country on mp3.com.au, #6,7,8 on www. SongVault.fm with three different songs.

ABOUT RONNIE BAKER:
Ronnie Baker's stage performance is INCREDIBLE! With a soulful voice and a powerful range!
Ronnie Baker sings traditional country on his 2006 self-titled cd, though songs like "One Bar Town" wouldn't be too out of place of contemporary country radio. The thing is, Baker, while supplementing steel with electric guitar, is never quite as over-the-top as the radio's current heartthrobs. A song like "All I Can Do Is Love You" is a tasteful, easy-flowing love song with fiddles and a gentle backbeat; "Urban Cowboy Wanna Be" moves to a medium-tempo boogie, updating Jimmy Buffett's "Brand New Country Star." "Urban Cowboy Wanna Be" also qualifies as Baker's comment on the less-than-genuine propagators of country. The acoustic-electric band arrangements are well done, and carefully chosen to fit each song. Baker's also a soulful singer, quite at home with the chosen material. For those disillusioned with contemporary quality but not quite ready to jump on the alternative bandwagon, Ronnie Baker has put together an enjoyable, well-made country album. ~ Ronnie D.

Passion is a key ingredient when it comes to making dreams a reality. Ronnie Baker is passionate about music and he conveys that passion to his audiences, whether it's in a live performance or on record.
