Tennessee Concerts SonicBids Song Contest Winners

 I have always had an interest in music and singing from as early as I can remember…. From singing in the shower, to singing in the car, to singing with bands, music and singing is like breathing to me…

For me not to sing is to stop living and expressing one’s inner soul and emotions…. Music and singing is food for my being, and a way to connect with people’s hearts and emotions in a deep and profound way…

I have sung many different styles of music which include “Rock’n-Roll, Rhythm and Blues, Jazz, Country, and Americana, etc..” I feel that each style of music has its own unique and good qualities, and that by having sung many different styles, it makes you well rounded, a better musician, singer, and performer in all forms of music….

I have found a home in the “Country-Rock and Americana” form of music, and I feel it is an “Honest Style of Music” that can be sung from the heart, and truly reflects some of the best qualities of “The American Spirit, Culture, and Values”…… It is real…..

I have opened for Country Legend Loretta Lynn (The Coal Miner’s Daughter), as well as have been in the opening lineup for Nashville Artists & Canadian Band Emerson Drive.

I am a singer, a songwriter, arranger, and producer….. I write & record my own songs, many of which are on my music albums, as well as have produced my own music videos.

I hope to keep growing in the music business, to write and record more songs, to touch people’s hearts, and have my voice and music heard around the world….

The Tennessee Concerts Song Contest started out as a Talent Competition, 

but soon changed to a song contest.  These are articles from 

the late Ken Utterback in the Music City Examiner.
