Mark Chesnutt

Mark Chesnutt’s authentic talent and deep country roots have embedded him as one of the true treasures in country music history. From his humble beginnings in Beaumont, Texas, Chesnutt began recording in Nashville at the ripe age of 17. He worked his way up through the country music landscape until his major-label signing in 1989. By 1990, Chesnutt had released his debut album, along with five straight Top Ten country hits. From then, Mark Chesnutt’s impressive career has only set to further establish his legacy as a country music legend. With 14 No. 1 hits, 23 Top Ten singles, five gold records, and an incredible four platinum records to his name, Chesnutt has more than earned his revered place in country music history.

Lorrie Morgan

Lorrie Morgan was born to make music. Barely a teenager when she made her first, and everlasting, impression on country music fans, its legends and the community, Lorrie staked her claim as being one of the youngest to have made his/her debut at the Grand Ole Opry House. Lorrie made history when she became a lifetime member of the Grand Ole Opry at the age of twenty-four; Lorrie was the youngest person ever to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Today, Lorrie has become the essence of country music femininity carrying the torch for many a lady trendsetter—Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette—Lorrie Morgan has become a renaissance woman of the genre recognized as royalty by her fans and her peers. Lorrie inked her first recording contract in 1988. As an RCA recording artist, and later on the roster of its sister label, BNA, Lorrie made her mark with trendsetting anthems that have now become timeless country standards including, “Five  Minutes,” “Something In Red,” “Watch Me” and “What Part Of No” to establish her place as a bright and shining country star—a modern woman making country music history.

Joe Diffie

Joe Diffie realized his musical talent at the young age of four. From the humble beginnings of singing harmonies with his parents, Diffie eventually found himself recording demos in Nashville while working at Gibson Guitar Corp. In 1990, however, he signed with a major-label and used that platform to establish himself as a genuine songwriting talent. With hits such as “Pickup Man”, “John Deere Green”, and “Third Rock from the Sun” to his credit, Diffie has enjoyed unbelievable critical and commercial success. In addition to 20 Top Ten hits that he has to his name, Diffie celebrates 12 No. 1 hits as well. His commercial success is accompanied by membership of the Grand Ole Opry, multiple CMA Awards, and a GRAMMY award for his musical talents. Although Diffie is writing and playing as much as ever, there is no question that his accomplishments already make him a true country star.
