MEGAN MUNROE  ( www.meganmunroe.com )

Tinged with the Delta blues, edged with sweet bluegrass and the twang of traditional country, Megan's voice rings true.  Growing up at the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in rural Sultan, Washington, Munroe wrote her first song at the age of eight. Her journey to Nashville followed three years in Los Angeles (2000-2003), where she enjoyed a successful acting career, appearing in WB's Everwood and films Lost on the B side, Mixing Karma and The Standard V.15 .  Megan's first nationally-released CD, ONE MORE BROKEN STRING, contains 12 original tales of saints and sinners, ranging from fiery up-tempos to heartwrenching ballads. The album's debut U.S. single, "Moonshine," was a Music Row chart hit, and her two international releases ("Angel On Fire" and "Leavin' Memphis") performed well as well.  Recent media coverage includes Country Weekly (February and March issues), CMA Close Up (Debut Spotlight, June/July issue), Country Music People and Maverick.

RICHIE FIELDS  ( www.myspace.com/richiefields.com )

Richie Fields' earthy country baritone has already given this up-and-coming singer/songwriter two well-received singles and a #1 video (Y'all Wire).  He's toured along the Eastern Seaboard and beyond for several years and is known for his energetic live shows.  The Maryland native was named to the CMA's Who New To Watch In 2009 list, and made his national television debut on Inside Music Row in February.  Richie is  Country Weekly's  "Who's New" in the June 8 issue, and has been covered by Roughstock, Music News Nashville and  About.com. His first single ("When You Love Someone That Much")  with new producer J. Gary Smith was just released and his upcoming album is due out late this summer.  In between performing and family commitments, Fields divides his time between workouts ("I'm still a fitness nut!"), songwriting, booking shows and answering emails directed to his MySpace and Facebook pages and Twittering.
