Within three years of her arrival in Nashville, Lari White was snapped up by a major label, RCA, going Gold with her sophomore album, and garnering several awards. These included three prestigious Grammys, earned over consecutive years, for her lead tracks on both volumes of the "Amazing Grace - A Country Salute To Gospel" albums as well as her standout performance on the soundtrack to Robert Duvall's acclaimed movie, "The Apostle."
  
Like her contemporary and favored guest vocalist, Shelby Lynne, Lari digs beneath the placid surface into the dark underbelly of life in the Deep South. Drawing heavily on her formative influences, she blends classic Soul/R&B sensibilities with modern technology to tackle subjects such as love and the loss of innocence, conjuring up heady images of languorous, sultry Southern nights.
  
Lari has contributed her producing talents for other high-profile recording artists, producing Toby Keith's "White Trash with Money" earning a No. 1 single and Top 5 Singles from that cd. She also landed two singles in Billboard's Top 10 on the Country Charts, as co-producer on both Toby Keith's hit duet with his daughter Krystal, "Mockingbird" (from his Greatest Hits, Volume 2), and Billy Dean's smash "Let Them Be Little" and follow-up album.
 
Lari, whose previous acting credits include the memorable role as the "girl at the crossroads' opposite Tom Hanks in the blockbuster film "Cast Away," also starred in the romantic drama "No Regrets," opposite Janine Turner and Kate Jackson, which airs on the Lifetime Cable Network. She also portrayed June Carter Cash in the 2006 Broadway production of Ring of Fire, a musical based on Johnny Cash. She received rave reviews for her performance in the Marilyn and Alan Bergman Tribute with Michael Feinstein at Carnegie Hall, and returned to perform for the Bergman's in their Lincoln Center tribute in February. Broadway by the Year audiences have enjoyed her in both the Jerome Kern Tribute and Broadway Originals shows, as well as editions 1978 and 1928. She debuted at the Algonquin Oak Room in February 2007 with a week-long run of My First Affair, a Broadway musical salute.  Lari returned February 12th, 2008 for a three-week run of "Love Letters."

Chuck Cannon

Chuck Cannon grew up in the low country of the South Carolina coast. His father and grandfather were both Pentecostal preachers, so his earliest musical influence was a unique strain of gospel music that was an amalgam of Appalachian folk and black spirituals. He started singing in church before he was five years old and it soon became clear that music would be the driving passion in his life.

Chuck was a solo performer on the beach circuit for several years before moving to Nashville in 1984 to attend Belmont University, where he studied Music Business and Finance. In 1988 he met producer Marshall Morgan, who signed him as a staff songwriter to Taste Auction Music. In 1992 Chuck opened his own publishing company, Wacissa River Music, Inc. An active champion of songwriters' issues, he is past President of the Nashville Songwriters Association International (2001-2003) and currently serves on the NSAI Board and Legislative Committee.

Among his credits are five #1 singles recorded by his frequent co-writer Toby Keith "Dreamwalkin'," "Me Too," "How Do You Like Me Now?!," "We Were In Love" and "American Soldier" -- and the crossover smash "I Love The Way You Love Me." The song was a UK hit for Boyzone and a #1 career record for John Michael Montgomery, which earned Chuck the Academy of Country Music's Song of the Year honor in 1993.

Chuck's latest album is God Shaped Hole, available at www.chuckcannon.com

John Barlow Jarvis

John Barlow Jarvis's musical journey began in 1968 in Southern California at the age of 14, when, after winning numerous classical competition awards, he was signed as a staff songwriter and studio musician at Edwin H. Morris Music. By the age of 18 John was already playing piano on hits by such artists as Ringo Starr, Diana Ross, Leo Sayer, John Mellancamp, The Miracles, Art Garfunkel, Stephen Bishop (a fellow E.H. Morris writer) and many others.
 
1974, at the age of 20, John joined the Rod Stewart Band, where his honky tonk licks can still be heard on such classics as "Hot Legs", "Tonight's the Night" and "You're in My Heart". In addition to touring with Stewart, John continued to be one of the most in demand recording musicians in Hollywood up until 1982, when he decided to relocate to Nashville, Tennessee.
 
In Nashville John simply picked up where he left off. For the last 25 years, he has continued to hold his place at the very pinnacle of studio musicians, playing with virtually all the artists who led the country music explosion of the late 1980's and early 1990's. His studio credits range from Vince Gill to Brooks and Dunn, from Faith Hill to Shania Twain, and from George Strait to Reba MacEntire. That's John's wild honky tonk piano intro on the Hank Williams Jr. Monday Night Football show, and it's also John's heartbreakingly minimalist piano on the Mary Chapin Carpenter classic "I Am a Town."
 
John is also a two time Grammy winning songwriter, receiving both awards for song of the year, for his compositions "I Still Believe in You", recorded by Vince Gill, and "Love Can Build a Bridge", recorded by the Judds. His composition "The Flame" was sung by Trisha Yearwood at the closing ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympics. John's songs have been recorded by an incredibly wide spectrum of artists, including Conway Twitty, John Denver, Waylon Jennings, Stevie Nicks, Delbert McClinton, Art Garfunkel, Brenda Lee, Steve Wariner, Amy Grant, Ricky Skaggs, Alabama, and Taj Mahal, among many others. He has won both the CMA and ACM awards for his writing, and has been nominated for an Emmy.

The release of the new John Barlow Jarvis CD "View From a Southern Porch" marks the latest step in a musical journey TIME magazine describes approvingly as, "traveling without a map."
