Get ready to hear songs you have never heard before, they are all originals.
Jeremy Dean
Jeremy Dean was born and raised in Oklahoma. He has been singing his whole life and songwriting as soon as he could play his first three guitar chords. His first commercially recorded original song was a song he penned in High School, titled "The Table Grace Prepared," a Gospel cut included on the "Forever Friend" project by Grammy-nominated, award-winning, entertainer, Barbara Fairchild.
Having traveled several years with a Gospel/Country band throughout the Oklahoma/Texas Panhandle, Jeremy's singing talent was discovered professionally by Eddy Bolton (of the legendary Gospel family, The Speers) who invited him to join a group in Nashville in 1997. Jeremy spent a couple more years on the road before leaving the road to concentrate on writing and the chance to become involved in audio production, under the hand of Grammy-nominated, Dove award-winning engineer/producer, Joe Huffman, whose list of credits would be too numerous to mention. As an apprentice of Mr. Huffman, Jeremy has learned several valuable tools of the trade in creating his musical art, as well as the opportunity to work and produce other singers and songwriters along the way.
Jeremy Dean considers himself a lover of songwriting with a willing voice. He enjoys listening to upcoming singers and enjoying the work of other songwriters. He collaborates as a songwriter and offers recording services for singers and songwriters both. He also enjoys playing the local laid-back venues for songwriter nights.
"Unlike the forty to sixty thousand people in this town looking to break into the music business at any given time," Dean says, "I love writing lyrics, and I would still do it even if I knew I didn't stand a chance in this town. It's a part of me. I'm not a great musician, but that's the fun part...finding people to build the character of a song around quality lyrics...or finding any number of team players who can breathe life into a song. We all play a part." Dean says, "The life of the singer is still the song."
Denny Cooper
My Trucks Bigger than Yours won the CMA/Fan Fair songwriting contest in July of 2009
What I Came Here For has taken first place on Ourstage.com, and has been aired on 170 indy radio stations
I began writing songs when I was 12 years old. I had a guitar with a hole in it, and got a tab book. About a week later, I wrote my first song. It just came naturally, like it was something I had always done. My Kentucky roots, on my momma's side, has always been a major influence and reason for my love of country music. When I was a kid, it was normal to go to my moms parents house, and there would be a porch full of family, and a banjo, mandolin, 2 guitars and a stand up wash tub bass in full swing. I have been somewhat of a closet singer songwriter until this year, when I decided that it was time to put forth the effort to be heard, share my music, and land a publishing deal. Writing country music is a part of me, and will always be that way. My influences as an artist ( i do not claim to sing all that well ) are Keith Whitley, Vern Gosdin, Darryl Singletary, Randy Travis, Montgomery Gentry and Mark Nesler. As a writer, I always followed the ways of Chris Wallin, Tony Lane, Anthony Smith, Jeffery Steele and Debi Champion. All, very good writers.
At the end of the day, music is in my heart. It is part of me, and sometimes, most of me. My goal is to be a staff writer in Nashville, and write songs that make folks feel something. I will always be a songwriter. It's just who I am.
Larry Evans

Here's a song I won the Budwieser Talent search with and was nominated by the BCCountry Music Assoc.

Larry Evans has been performing since he was nine years old and writing his own songs since the age of twelve.
He played in several bands during his high school years and went “out on the road” right after graduating grade twelve.
In the late 1980’s Larry began entering talent contests usually performing original material, and always ending up in one of the top three spots.
In 1990 he won the “Best Original Song” category and a third place finish for his performance at the Bud Talent Search Canadian finals.
That year also saw him accept the Institute of Communication Arts award for best Country/Folk/Contemporary songwriter for his song “When I Think About You” which was chosen from over 500 entries.
In June of 1991, Larry won the BCCMA Ray McAuley Horizon Award for best new artist and was nominated in Best Male Vocalist, Best Song and Duo/Group of the Year categories.
After a few more years working the club circuit in western Canada and trying to secure a recording contract during one of many stays in Nashville, Larry decided to “retire” from the club scene and concentrate on his songwriting. With several co-writes with some notable Nashville writers and several song-holds under his belt Larry is still intent on working the system to pitch songs from his large catalog and hoping for “that one big one”.
In the mean time Larry writes and performs mostly as a solo act in coffee houses, pubs and restaurants whenever and wherever possible.
He has a repertoire of material that appeals to everyone of any age and a delivery that is tried and true to his own unique style.

Patrick Scott
This the guy who replaced Don Rich! Terry is a VERY talented Steel player,
guitarist and vocalist too (I hate him) kidding...
I was trying to pry a good story out of him one night, when I realized DUH,
those are all BUCK'S SONGS he plays on... which is cool enough, but to write the songs... WOW!!!
I started doing the math... the songwriter gets paid from every Cd sold, radio, downloads, ringtones etc.
The guys that played on it ( with all respect ) get to listen to it...
My dream of playing a drum track on a famous
song seemed like I didn't think this through. I'm going to hunt down my high
school guidence councilor and kill him. But my new dream of writing songs
begins! having a hit song is something to tell your Grandkids about someday or pay for their college... well!!! If your gonna dream...
Dream big! I learn something in every song I write and it gets more exciting all the time
Timothy Flint
I play my guitar like people some people smoke cigarettes.
I am compulsivly reaching for it. Music is, and has always been my constant companion. I thank god for this gift. When I write I never start with an idea.
I just find a melody I like and I let it tell me what it should be about.
I admire those people that grind out three or four songs a day. I am lucky if I get one. But I stay dedicated to the craft And most importantly,
I do it because I love it.
MARVIN ADCOCK
I remember my first appreciation for the power of music struck me on a Sunday evening at age 10 as I watched the Beatles performing "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" on the Ed Sullivan show. The reaction from the audience I witnessed on that small black and white screen was a real eye (and ear) opener for me. Not many years after that I began teaching myself guitar and started to write songs. As I got older it was my love of a good story that converted me into a country songwriter. I've always enjoyed reading about other writers, and one of the most memorable quotes I ever read was by Johnny Cash who said he used the "KISS" method of writing. An acronym for "Keep It Simple Stupid". I thought that sounded pretty easy, WRONG!!!! I learned quickly that writing a simple song is not easy. After a lifetime of writing, and several spiral bound notebooks, I hope I have grown to be a better writer, and hope I will always continue to improve. I have had a few songs published, a few songs on independent artist albums, and a few placed on hold by such artists as Kenny Rogers, Randy Travis, etc. I live in Kansas and have a wonderful loving family, but I travel to Nashville every chance I get. My songs are demoed in Nashville and pitched by Song Rocket Music. I still have dreams of making it to the big show someday, and hopefully being able to work with more Nashville publishers, artists, and labels. Thank you for listening.
Karin Wright
Country Madam from Oslo Norway with a new album on it's way! Release date 24th of august 2009. On my own label Indian songs. The album title is "Hunting A Dream" The title and the song is all about one thing: GETTING THERE!
That's how it it for all of us, we struggle and fight for the things that we believe in and to fulfill our dreams. Finally, at last it all seem to come together. I call our music country with a scent of Rock'n'Roll, cause that's exactly what it is;) Influenced by the outlaw country music and to tell you the truth: have always loved rock'n'roll....;) I've never walked the easy street. It was not my kind of road. Hope you enjoy my songs and my site! Take care.

Terry Cupp
Terry has played at the Blue Bird Cafe more times than anyone I have ever heard about.
Terry has played at least 30 times.
Born and raised in a small mid Ohio town. Raised on southern cookin and southern lovin. Mom and Dad were from Tennessee and came north up that hillbilly highway looking for work. The roots of my raising run deep into the south. Not long after I was born we were back in Tennessee and then in Florida. But in the early 60's not much work was to be found south of the Mason-Dixon line, so back north we came. As far back as I can remember music was in my life. My Dad would sit around the house and strum an old guitar. And then out on the weekends he'd go playing in some old honky tonk. So I guess from an early age this life appealed to me. And I knew I would do the same. And I have. I have played and sang from California to Florida and I even did some singing when I was in Germany with some Army buddies. The road has been my life and my life will always be the road. Dad once told me 'Always be yourself' and with my songs I try to be myself. I was raised on Jimmie Rodgers, Lefty, Merle, and a slew of other good damn country singers. Plus my Dad, who just never got the break he deserved. So I took my guitar and hit the road looking for that lost highway and that unwrittable song.
Don Wayne and Dale Reno
I know Don Wayne and Dale Reno dont fit the songwriters mold but they used to be my next door neighbors in Nashville a few years ago.
I love their talent and down home country ways, they really put on a high energy music pounding show, these are true professionals of the finest southern musical heritage. You will never see a better banjo or mandolin player than these two Reno Brothers.
The legendary Don Reno was Don Wayne and Dales father he is revered in American bluegrass history for his improvisational flair, technical skills and good-humored personality. The Reno banjo style he created melds traditional bluegrass breakdowns with chord-based solos, percussive techniques and flamboyant single-string runs.
Don taught his groundbreaking banjo techniques to his son, Don Wayne Reno, who now passes it on -- with lots of his dad's great advice -- to all aspiring players. Don Wayne belongs to a pretty special group, as being one of the 5 best banjo players in America.
He plays Earl Scruggs "Old Nellie" a 1938 Gibson banjo his dad Don Reno got in a bargin many years ago.
Dale Reno is in the special catagory of one of the 3 best mandolin players in America today.He is the fastest player I have ever seen and demonstrates it nightly with the
Here is a sample of the Hayseed Dixie band playing the song Dueling Banjos
Written by their Dad Don Reno. He sold the song "Dueling Banjos" to a friend for $135.00
and the guy threw in a really nice Martin guitar.
Little did Don Reno know that the song would make millions in royalties!
On the song Interstate Eighty One Don Wayne and his little brother Dale really kick it up in the way only the Reno Brothers can.
Don Wayne is on the banjo and Dale is playing Mandolin.
