Jeffrey Steele

If Jeffrey Steele is not writing a hit song, he is probably performing or producing one.

With more than 300 of his songs recorded in the past several years – including 40+ charting singles – he’s one of Music Row’s most high-profile creators. A two-time NSAI Songwriter of the Year (2003 and 2005) and BMI Country Songwriter of the Year (2003), Jeffrey can count close to 20 million airplays of his catalog. Among his hits are “The Cowboy In Me" (Tim McGraw); “Hell Yeah," “Speed" and “My Town" (Montgomery Gentry); “Chrome" and “I’m Tryin’" (Trace Adkins); “Unbelievable" (Diamond Rio); “These Days" and “What Hurts the Most" (Rascal Flatts).

As a producer, Jeffrey’s credits include Montgomery Gentry’s album You Do Your Thing and Keith Anderson’s debut release XXL. He’s also slated to produce upcoming projects for both acts.

The former lead singer of the ACM-winning group Boy Howdy also spends time on the road promoting his own material and playing dates with such artists as Van Zant, Delbert McClinton, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, John Waite, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. His current album is Hell On Wheels (www.jeffreysteele.com).

Jeffrey also runs a publishing company, 3 Ring Circus Music, and works with its five writers. Their recent cuts include “Help Somebody" (Van Zant) and “Everytime I Hear Her Name" (Keith Anderson).

Al Anderson

Growing up in Connecticut, Al Anderson was far more enamored with his guitar and garage bands than the traditional educational system. So, he spent his time playing in bars and jamming with friends, often backing many of the R&B greats of the day who were looking for fill-in gigs beyond the Manhattan area.

In the early 1970s Al joined NRBQ, one of rock’s most idiosyncratic cult bands, and performed with them for nearly two decades before striking out on his own. As a writer with Bluewater Music and now with Windswept, Al has written for the likes of LeAnn Rimes, Patty Loveless, The Mavericks and Trisha Yearwood, with numerous hits including “The Cowboy In Me" by Tim McGraw; “Unbelievable" by Diamond Rio; “Trip Around The Sun" by Jimmy Buffett & Martina McBride; and "The Next Big Thing" by Vince Gill.

Selected as one of the top 50 guitar players of all time by the editors of Musician magazine, Al was named BMI Country Songwriter of the Year in 2000. Last month, his album After Hours was released by Sony/Legacy.

Tony Mullins

Tony Mullins moved to Nashville from a small town in Virginia during the summer of 1992. About a year later, he signed an exclusive writing contract with Byron Gallimore and his publishing company, Song Garden Music.

During his time there, Tony had songs recorded by artists such as Clay Walker, John Michael Montgomery and Lonestar; he also placed four cuts with Tim McGraw, including the #1 “All I Want Is a Life." Mullins’ “How Forever Feels" helped take Kenny Chesney into superstar status; the single resided on the Billboard country chart for 32 weeks, including six weeks at #1.

Tony recently found a new home with Universal Music Publishing Group, where he continues to write and produce his own creations. Recent success includes the Ricky Skaggs recording of “Love Does It Everytime," found on the 2005 Grammy-winning bluegrass album Brand New Strings.
