Growing up in Monticello, KY, bluegrass and gospel were in Kevin
Denney's heart from the start. Kevin decided to seriously
pursue a music career after seeing a George Strait concert.
Joining the roster of Lyric Street Records, his very first single,
"That's Just Jessie", came
out in 2002, and made Billboard's Country singles charts. His
self-titled debut album that same year also did well,
charting in Billboard's Top 20, propelled by the
success of his second single,
"Cadillac Tears".
“The plan was to practice hard, graduate high school, and move to Nashville,” says
multi-instrumentalist Kevin Haynie, “and that’s exactly what I did.” Kevin followed
his dream to Nashville one week after graduation. Kevin soon landed gigs as a sideman
for Matt King, Jerry & Tammy Sullivan and then moved on to studio sessions for artists
like Marshall Dillon and Billy Ray Cyrus. After playing bluegrass banjo since he was
8 years old, Kevin added guitar, bass, mandolin and dobro to his repertoire. He began
working with acclaimed producer Robert Ellis Orral and his demos made their way to
Warner Bros. Records Chief Creative Officer Paul Worley and Kevin soon signed with
the WB label. With the combination of multi-instrumental virtuosity, soon-to-be-classic
country songs, and a voice worldly beyond its age, Kevin has all the trappings of a
legend in the making.
Her talent, personality and boundless energy have already won Louise
Mandrell a legion of fans, unparalleled reviews, a string of hit
records, a best selling book, numerous commercial endorsements,
her own nationally syndicated television special, and a
spectacular stage show, "Love My Country", which she
wrote, produced and performed in Opryland's Acuff Theatre. Her
latest venture is a 1400 seat musical theater that bears her
name. The Louise Mandrell Theater opened it's doors with a
multi-million dollar production in Pigeon Forge, TN in September
1997. By any standards, Louise Mandrell is one of the hottest
tickets in entertainment.
