Produced by John Rich, the JaneDear Girls are currently touring with Brad Paisley on the H2O2 Tour.

Their debut single <i>Wildflowers</i> was a perfect introduction to their high energy, soaring harmonies and world class instrumental prowess.<br><br><br><br><br><b>SUNNY SWEENEY</b><br><br>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, <i>Heartbreaker's Hall of Fame</i> produced three singles, <i>If I Could, Ten Years</i> <i>Pass</i> and <i>East Texas Pines</i>. 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 <i>From a Table Away</i>, which became her first chart single. In March 2011, the song entered the Top 10 of the charts.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='font-family:"Times","serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='font-family:"Times","serif";color:black'>More info can be found on </span><a href="http://www."><span style='font-family:"Times","serif";color:black'>www.</span></a><u><span style='font-family:"Times","serif";color:black'>stockerartscenter.com</span></u><span style='font-family:"Times","serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>Kim Carrasquillo<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal>Writer <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Marketing and Outreach Initiatives<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Lorain County Community College<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>(440) 366-4822<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>kcarrasq@lorainccc.edu<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
