Austin Church
Austin Church’s songs are written with depth, an unorthodox turn of
phrase and a touch of whimsy. He became inspired by the likes of Townes
Van Zandt, Gamble Rogers and Jimmy Buffett. Austin co-wrote the song
“Brand New Country Star” with Jimmy Buffett, which appeared on
Jimmy’s album “Living and Dying in 3/4 Time.” Lyle Lovett recorded
“Sheik of Sh-Boom,” which Austin co-wrote with Ken Spooner and
Walter Hyatt. Austin has four CD’s to his credit.
Barbara Cloyd
Shortly after her move to Nashville, from the club scene of her hometown
of St Lois, Mo., Barbara was hired to host the Bluebird Cafe Open Mic
and has been helping songwriters ever since. After charting with the Lorrie
Morgan classic “I Guess You Had To Be There,” she began mentoring
through workshops and consultations. Many writers owe their first deals to
introductions she made for them, including Brent Anderson whom she met
at the Frank Brown Festival.
