JANEDEAR GIRLS

The JaneDear Girls are one of the most exciting new acts in the world of
Country music. Produced by John Rich, the JaneDear Girls are currently
touring with Brad Paisley on the H2O2 Tour. Danelle Leverett and Susie
Brown wanted something that was feminine, All-American and country so
the JaneDear Girls were born. Their debut single Wildflowers was a
perfect introduction to their high energy, soaring harmonies and world
class instrumental prowess.




SUNNY SWEENEY

Sunny Sweeney was born in Houston, Texas. Initially, Sweeney decided
that she wanted to be an improv comedian. She moved to New York City to
join a comedy troupe; however, the troupe's other members persuaded her
to choose a career in singing instead and she moved back to her native
Texas. After gaining a following on the club circuit in her native
state, Sweeney signed to the independent Big Machine Records label. Her
debut album, Heartbreaker's Hall of Fame produced three singles, If I
Could, Ten Years Pass and East Texas Pines. In 2009, Sweeney was signed
as the first artist to Republic Nashville a newly-founded joint venture
between Big Machine and Universal Republic Records. Her first single for
the label is From a Table Away, which became her first chart single. In
March 2011, the song entered the Top 10 of the charts.
