Rachel Farley

Rachel Farley has been singing since she started talking. Her first live performance was at 5 years old singing the National Anthem for around 1000 people. Since then she knew she wanted to perform. After years of performing in church, school and professional musical theatre on Atlanta stages, Rachel decided it was time to take her music to a new level. In the Fall of 2007, Rachel played her first gig. She did not know what would happen from that point forward. She ended up playing over 100 shows in over 55 venues in the first year of performing. She shows no signs of stopping!

Another thing happend in the fall of 2007. Rachel wrote her first song. Since then she has been writing on her own as well as with some well known Nashville greats!

Rachel Farley has a sound all her own. Some of her influences are Patsy Cline, Miranda Lambert and Ashton Shepherd. Her style is a true mix of the traditional of yesterday with just the right amount of today's contemporary country sound.

Matt Moore

"Keep on Keepin' on"...There's probably no better phrase that sums up the personality and music of Matt Moore. His songwriting seems to effortlessly meander through the Country, Blues, and Bluegrass genres, all the while exposing everything from American folklore to lost love. "My songs are just a reflection of how I grew up and who I am." As a child, Moore honed his skills while listening to artists like James Taylor, Willie Nelson, and Jim Croce. "I think I was most attracted to the power of a great story, a simple melody, and an honest voice."

Moore grew up in the suburban Atlanta town of Lilburn, GA, spending the majority of his youth on the baseball and football field working to accomplish his dreams of becoming a college athlete; however an injury his senior year would prevent him from going on to compete in college. Moore's focus began to shift towards songwriting and developing his band, OverflO, which he had started with several high-school classmates.

After graduation, Moore moved to Athens, GA to attend the University of Georgia. "I'd say my education came just as much from the bars and theatres downtown as it did from any classroom. Athens is such a great music town; the city provided me with an environment where I could expose myself to a lot of different music while still getting a great education. We spent our days in class, and the majority our nights and weekends playing in bars and venues across the southeast." Several people began to take notice, as OverflO started to build a significant grassroots following in the college market through their impressive live shows and independent CD sales. "I know our work ethic had a lot to do with our success. Driving 12 hours in a van with 8 other guys to play shows, most of the time hoping to break even, just to get out and expose what we were trying to do wasn't always easy with our schedule." Unfortunately, sometimes all good things must come to an end. "We had planned on taking our success to the next level after school; however some guys were offered other opportunities in the music and business world, and we decided to part ways."

Moore went back to what he does best, songwriting. "I knew I had to keep writing and getting better, so I consciously made an effort to work on my material everyday." Through connections from his previous band, Moore was encouraged to move to Nashville, TN and spend some time living and working in Music City. Shortly thereafter, Moore began opening as a solo artist for national acts like Dierks Bentley, Phil Vassar, and Sugarland; all without any new recorded material. "I purposely took a year off from recording to allow all of the changes sink in," says Moore, "I didn't want to rush the process."

January 2007 brought Moore back into the studio to work on demos that would become part of his solo debut. "I wanted to make an honest recording, and I was really fortunate to involve a lot of my friends in the process." The new EP titled "24" gets back to the genuine roots of classic country, focusing on great songwriting and simple production. "I've learned so much over the past year, and I am excited about getting back out and performing to new audiences, hopefully earning fans one song, one handshake, and one beer at a time."

Ashley Ray | 7:30 PM

She may have a cute little doll face and a soft, unassuming demeanor, but don't let that fool ya. Ashley Ray is not quite America's sweetheart. Take the fiercely competitive streak that comes out if you try and beat her at darts, or the way she's perfectly at home in grungy dive bars. She can more than handle her half of the bucket of beer, and she rocks a mean Georgia Satellites impression at karaoke. Hell, she's a former cheerleader who just might kick your ass if you bring that up.

With her debut album in the works at Capitol Records Nashville, the world is about to know the truth about this 23-year old Kansas native, a girl who always knew what she wanted to be, and didn't quit until she got there. She's standing at the door of country music, and with brash, rowdy songs that draw on the genre's history while barreling towards the future, she's ready to kick it down. It's just your typical American success story... being lived out by someone who's anything but ordinary.

Jedd Hughes

Jedd Hughes grew up in the small south Australian town of Quorn. At 12, he was chosen to represent Australia on a three-week tour of Europe, performing at the International Music for Youth festivals held in France, Belgium and Sweden. Just six weeks after landing in Music City, Hughes auditioned to be the lead guitarist for Patty Loveless. Within an hour, he was asked to join Loveless' rehearsal and then was invited to play the Grand Ole Opry with her the next night and later at the MerleFest bluegrass festival. A few years later, Jedd was named one of the best guitarist in Nashville playing with artists like Keith Urban. He has had a top 10 song that he co-wrote titled "Big Brass Bed" performed by Josh Gracin. Most recently Jedd has been working to finish a solo EP, and just finished opening up for Jewel on her tour.

Gabriel Kelley blends the honesty and simplicity of Americana music with the intimacy and earnestness of contemporary indie/folk, creating a sound as unique as it is timeless, and refreshing as it is contemplative. Having drawn comparisons to alt-country pioneers Whiskeytown and the Jayhawks, this Nashville, TN via Athens, GA artist relies heavily on his thoughtful, acoustic-based arrangements, combined with yearning, reflective lyricism. Upon moving to Nashville in the summer of 2007, Gabriel began writing and recording new material which quickly transformed into a six song EP "Light at the Bottom" released late in '08. The songs cover a wide range of influences, ranging from the roots-rock sounds of the Band to the more organic, polished approach of later-era Wilco. Coinciding with the recording of the EP, Gabriel began working in conjunction with Tim McFadden, renowned manager for such revered artists as Sam Bush and Bradley Walker. In addition to performing, Gabriel has continued his writing career at Stylesonic Publishing, in Nashville, owned by country music superstar Tim McGraw. Now 2009, Gabriel is presently writing and recording his next E.P. with the intention of a release in mid-spring.

Derrick grew up in the town of Dacula, Georgia where he always had a passion for music. He taught himself guitar and piano while in high school and began writing songs shortly thereafter. After 2 years at UGA he dropped out to produce with and learn from grammy nominated producers in Atlanta. After passing on a record deal he came back to UGA and entered the UGA Music Business Program. He is currently interning with Producer John Keane, and continuing to write, play, and record his own music.

Hannah Dasher is wary of earning the stereotypical title of Southern belle, but admits she likes to fry chicken...Her music is equally seasoned with the same country soul.

- Emily Goldman, Savannah Morning News

Though Dasher's influences span from Motown to Bonnie Raitt blues, artists like Patsy Cline, Trisha Yearwood and Dolly Parton have had the greatest impact on her vocal style. She puts herself into a traditional category of country music artists. "I'm just a down-home girl," says the 22-year-old aspiring singer and songwriter from Springfield, Ga. "I'm not your typical teeny-bopper blonde that fits into the new pop-culture mode that is so much a part of the country music scene."

Dasher's vocal trills, bubbly personality and tendency to "cut up" on stage have often landed her many comparisons to Dolly Parton. Perhaps the greatest compliment came last fall when she was cast as Patsy in the historic Savannah Theatre's January production, "A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline". "Hannah was terrific in the role," said producer, Mike Meece. "The show was a HUGE success!" As a young girl, Hannah developed the unique ability to mimic Cline's voice. For her, this was truly a "dream job".

While she has been singing and performing since the age of four, her knack for songwriting was discovered only a few years ago. Among her list of admired songwriters are Merle Haggard, James Taylor, Dolly, Vince Gill, and Alan Jackson. Hannah looks forward to every new opportunity to entertain and write music. She thanks God for her gifts and the inclination to share those gifts with others.
