HIGHWAY 101

Highway 101From the moment they formed, Highway 101 presented a new approach to country music. The group's blend of country roots and tradition with rock 'n roll energy helped to catapult the country genre forward, tapping a whole new audience and paving the way for such mass appeal artists as Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson and Tim McGraw.

It all began when a very talented group of musicians pooled their collective talent and experience in the areas of rock 'n roll and country music, songwriting and performance.

Although Highway 101 has been through several different incarnations since their original conception, they have always enjoyed a great deal of success, both in records and in live performance. Drummer Cactus Moser states, "one of the reasons we have continued to be successful over the years is because we always strive to maintain the same musical integrity in our live shows as on our records.

According to HIghway 101, the band's belief in the music remains their constant vision. "We still share the sincerity about the music and never pretend to be anythings but what we are --- a band that loves to play!"

DOUG STONE

Doug StoneDoug Stone first impacted radio in 1990 with his debut single "I'd Be Better Off (In A Pine Box)", introducing listeners to one of the most distinctive voices ever to hit country airwaves. Now, 18 years since he first appeared on the music scene, Doug Stone is back with his 11th album, aptly titled "My Turn". Doug was hands on in every aspect of the production of this record. In addition to singing every song on the album, Doug produced it, picked the songs for it, and picked the musicians to play on it. A process Stone found to be liberating and much simpler, "It was easy to do!" he said with a laugh.

In addition to his string of hit albums, Doug Stone has managed to amass a string of 22 hit singles, of which 15 were in the Top 10, and of those, 4 went all the way to #1. Doug is hoping to cash in on his success once again with his most recent musical offering, the album "My Turn". At a recent CMA Music Festival an army of unwaveringly loyal fans showed up to support Stone, many of whom have been fans since 1990. "There's no more loyal fans than country music fans" says the Newnan, Georgia native. "They're kind of like family, and they've been with me every step of the way. I've had my ups and downs, but I wouldn't trade it for nothin'."
