Award winning songwriter Gary Burr has been responsible for some of the greatest Pop and Country songs of the last three decades.   In addition to writing fourteen #1 hits, he has also been inducted to the Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame and has been ASCAP, Billboard and NSAI’s songwriter of the year.  Gary’s songs have been recorded by such diverse artists as Faith Hill, Ringo Starr, Garth Brooks, Kelly Clarkson, Carole King, Reba, Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilara to name a few.  Burr has released three solo records and is currently a member of the group Blue Sky Riders along with his wife, hit songwriter Georgia Middleman and Kenny Loggins.

One of Nashville’s most accomplished singer/songwriters, Georgia has had songs recorded by Faith Hill, Kenny Chesney, Martina McBride, Reba McEntire, Terri Clark, Joe Nichols, Maia Sharp and Sheila E., among many others. In 2010,  Keith Urban took “I’m In,” which she co-wrote with Radney Foster, to the top of the country charts. Those who have seen her live, though, can attest that there is real magic in her own renditions of her songs as, she wraps one of music’s most expressive voices around lovingly crafted glimpses into life and love at their most compelling. Born and raised in Texas, Georgia earned a degree in acting from NYU and played the city’s clubs until a visit to Nashville. “That’s when everything changed,” she says. “I fell in love with this town because it was a community of writers.” She earned a publishing deal with Polygram and then a record deal with Giant Records. Her solo records include “Endless Possibilities” on Giant Records and the independent “Unchanged,”  “Things I Didn’t Know I Knew,” and “Plum.” Georgia just recently released on her fifth solo record, an acoustic collection of her most requested original songs called “Requests.” When not performing solo, Georgia is one third of the trio, Blue Sky Riders, along with Gary Burr and Kenny Loggins.  Blue Sky Riders have recorded two cds on their own label, “Finally Home” and “Why Not.” Georgia is also one half of the husband & wife duo, Middleman Burr.

An NCAA All-American and All-Pro NFL defensive lineman, Mike Reid was as dominant a force in commercial country music of the 1980s and early '90s as he was on the gridiron in the 1960s and '70s. Reid penned 12 #1 country hits, including one as a solo artist (1990's "Walk on Faith"), and he provided hit vehicles for Ronnie Milsap, Conway Twitty, Don Williams, Wynonna, Tim McGraw and others. Yet his best-known composition may be the pop hit "I Can't Make You Love Me," a stirring ballad of resignation that Bonnie Raitt took into the pop Top 20 in 1991 and that has since been re-recorded dozens of times. A serious-minded piano player even during his time playing football at Penn State University and with the Cincinnati Bengals, Reid devoted himself completely to music upon his 1975 retirement from sports. He moved to Nashville in 1980 and signed with Milsap's publishing firm in 1982. Milsap quickly began recording Reid's songs. "Inside" hit #1 on the country chart in early 1983, and "Stranger in My House" (which won Reid a Grammy for Best Country Song) went to #5 later that year. In 1985, Milsap's recording of Reid's "Lost in the Fifties Tonight" was a #1 country hit and a #8 adult contemporary record, and it was the most-played country song of the year. "Lost in the Fifties Tonight" was named ASCAP's Country Song of the Year in 1986. By the mid-1980s, Reid songs were radio staples, and he notched hits with Milsap ("She Keeps the Home Fires Burning," "In Love," "How Do I Turn You On," Conway Twitty ("Fallin' for You for Years"), Don Williams ("I Wouldn't Be a Man") and more. A soulful vocalist, Reid was featured as Milsap's duet partner for 1988's "Old Folks," and Reid's recording-artist deal with Columbia Records resulted in the chart-topper "Walk on Faith." Three other Top 20 solo hits followed for Reid, but his prime mark on popular music would be as a songwriter. More than two decades after its creation, "I Can't Make You Love Me" remains in Raitt's set list at every concert, and it has been recorded by George Michael, Kenny Rogers, Nancy Wilson, Kelly Clarkson, Adele and others. Continuing his renaissance ways, Reid went on to compose theatrical and operatic works, winning a Richard Rodgers Development Award from the Academy of Arts and Letters for 1997's The Ballad of Little Jo.

Born in Portland, Oregon, Mark first came on the scene in a band with his brothers, Bill and Brett–the Hudson Brothers.  The Hudson Brothers had two top-20 hits, “So You Are A Star” and “Rendezvous” produced by Bernie Taupin for Elton John’s Rocket Records. The Hudson Brothers were frequent guests on the Sonny and Cher Show and in 1974 became Sonny and Cher’s summer replacement.  In 1975 the Hudson Brothers Show evolved into the Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show, which was one of the first live-action variety shows in the 70s mixing music and comedy. After the brothers broke up, Mark went on to learn music production and successful songwriting from the legendary Phil Ramone and assisted him with production on Flashdance.  He began to get cuts on albums by artists including Cher, Michael Sembello, Alice Cooper, Eddie Rabbit and Bobby Caldwell. In 1992, Phil felt Mark was ready to fly solo, and so “Time Takes Time” was the first album Mark worked with Ringo Starr.  He went on to produce 8 albums with Ringo including “Ringorama”, “Vertical Man” and “Choose Love”, to name a few.  Then, in 1993, Mark wrote the Grammy winning song, “Livin’ on the Edge” for Aerosmith, which went to number one worldwide. Mark has produced and written with and for many multi-platinum artists including Aerosmith, Burt Bacharach, Carole King, Ringo Starr, Ozzy Osbourne, Celine Dion, Jon Bon Jovi, Hanson, the Baja Men, Alice Cooper, Boy Zone, Leann Rimes and the late Harry Nilsson. Mark was also the vocal director and backup vocalist for artists such as David Cassidy, Wayne Newton, Cher, Alice Cooper, Jon Bon Jovi, Aaron Neville, Hanson, Leif Garrett and more. In 2005, Mark appeared on the Simon Cowell show, “The X Factor”, which also starred Sharon Osbourne.  Mark was the vocal coach known as “Weird Beard” and Sharon’s partner for 3 years on the hit series.  During that time, Mark wrote and produced, “It’s Chico Time”, which went to number one in England.  He also produced Ozzy Osbourne’s first number one single titled, “Changes” with Ozzy and Kelly Osbourne. In 2011, Mark finished filming the second season of “Rock N’ Roll Fantasy Camp”, a Mark Burnett production on VH1classic in the U.S.  He also recently finished his first solo album, “The Artist”, that includes vocalists and musicians such as Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Ringo Starr, and Harry Nilsson. In 2011, Mark produced Pete Seeger, Jeff Beck, Seal and Billy Bragg tracks for the critically acclaimed Bob Dylan Tribute Album for Amnesty International. In 2012, Mark joined the team of IDA—“Inspire and Develop Artists”, a school for aspiring new artists with Rudy Perez, Jon Secada and David Frangioni, which develops new artists through songwriting, singing and recording. Mark just finished writing and producing the new female rock starlet, Madame Mayhem’s album, “White Noise” available on iTunes.  She has been described as Joan Jett meets Ozzy Osbourne.  The album includes guest appearances by Earl Slick (John Lennon, David Bowie), Elliot Easton (The Cars), Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot) and John Moyer (Disturbed, Adrenaline Mob).
