Anthony Michael Arata, 10 October 1957, Savannah, Georgia, USA. Although Arata completed his education with a degree in journalism, his first interest lay in music. During his university days he played guitar and sang with various bands. His professional career began with a bluegrass band in 1975, and from 1978-82 he wrote and sang many of his own songs with his band Handpicked. He was signed to a songwriting contract by Don Tolle’s Noble Vision label, where Jim Glaser recorded some of his songs, charting ‘The Man In The Mirror’ and ‘I’ll Be Your Fool Tonight’. Arata himself achieved two minor hits with ‘Come On Home’ (1984) and ‘Sure Thing’ (1985) and also recorded an album. In the late 80s, still under contract to Tolle, he relocated to Nashville. In 1990, Garth Brooks enjoyed a number 1 with his song ‘The Dance’. The recording gained many awards, including Song Of The Year (1991), and immediately led to Brooks’ recording Arata’s ‘Same Old Story’ and ‘Face To Face’. Other artists were attracted to his work, and further recordings of his songs began to appear, including ‘Part Of Me’ (Suzy Bogguss), ‘I Used To Worry’ (Delbert McClinton), ‘Slower’ (Dan Seals), ‘Standing By The River’ (Oak Ridge Boys) and ‘One Of My Reasons’ (David Slater). Arata also has business enterprises and is the editor of a trade publication.

Elliott Prather
Elliott Prather
Country
Hailing from the small town of Ball Ground, Georgia, and now pursuing a bachelor's degree in songwriting at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, Elliott Prather is a young independent country singer-songwriter sharing his love of music with crowds of fans and new faces most weekends.
At an early age, Prather realized that "life's too short to not make good music."
He goes into every songwriting session, every performance with this thought in mind.
Prather began playing gigs around his hometown at the age of 17, learning the ins and outs of being a "professional jukebox." It wouldn't be until two years later when he would finally get the chance to share his original songs with a larger audience with the release of his first album on May 15, 2020.
rather’s music is propelled by a neo-traditional country-rock production and insightful lyrics covering a variety of topics including his back and forth relationship with music, thoughtful storytelling, and his desire to cherish the little things in life.
These themes are evident in songs like "Music Man," "Hard Work," and "While I Still Can."
Even in an intimate, acoustic setting, Prather's message still powers through with his passion and love for performing and songwriting.
"I just want to make and play good music, and I want to invite people to join me."
