Tommy Brandt has been Inspirational Country Music Male Vocalist of the Year multiple times, has had several #1 hits, and has won too many other awards to mention. But, "Don't think this success has gone to his head though, Tommy is one of the most humble, helpful, and ministry driven artists in the business."
With the release of Old Photograph, on Rural Rhythm Records, multi-instrumentalist Randy Kohrs has also arrived as a first-rate vocalist, songwriter and producer. With a 2008 Grammy win for producing, engineering, mixing, singing harmony, and playing on Americana icon Jim Lauderdale’s latest, The Bluegrass Diaries, he has now solidified his standing as one of the strongest all-around musical forces coming up on the Nashville scene.
Melanie Walker is an award winning Christian recording artist and the host of the TCT Network program “Come On In” and “A Good Life” teaching segments featured on the TCT Network’s TCT Today program which is aired to 170 Nations across the world.
Anthony Taylor, Randy Jones, Ed Gilreath, and Sandy Gerkin make up Kentucky Wind. Although the band reflects the influence of the likes of Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver, Bill Monroe, The Stanley Brothers, and others, their sound is unique and has continued to make its mark in Bluegrass music. The band hosts the annual Blazin' Bluegrass Festival in Whitley City, Kentucky.
www.ahouseformykids.com (Greg McDougal)
Greg McDougal is one of the most gifted singer/songwriters both in Country and Inspirational Country music. His project, The Work of a Carpenter, was nominated for ICM Album of the Year in 2008. His new project, which includes duets with artists like The Oak Ridge Boys, James Payne, and Tommy Brandt, has produced one hit after another. Recently, his duet with Tammy Cochran, Loving You, reached #1 on the Inspirational Country Music chart.
Mavis was born in Jellico Tn, and raised in the little town of Pine Knot Ky. She started singing at the tender age of three. She grew up listening to the old Cas Walker show in Knoxville Tn, and sang on the show in 1961 at the age of six. In the early 80's, she formed a group called the Joyful Sounds, recorded several projects, and sang concerts throughout the country. Her voice is nothing short of powerful, radiating the anointing which so obviously comes from the bottom of her soul.

Peggy Inks is a singer/songwriter who lives in London, KY. She began her career as a solo Gospel singer in the 1970's when a Nashville producer invited her to record. Often compared to Loretta Lynn, Peggy fosters a sound that is unique to Kentucky and has won her many awards both in Southern Gospel and Inspirational Country Music.
Russ Murphy is an award-winning singer/songwriter who has seen 5 of his songs go to #1 on the Inspirational Country Music charts with “Welcome Home Soldier” and “Wood and Steel” both being nominated for Song of the Year. In 2007 Russ was honored to receive the ICM New Artist of the Year Award and was also chosen as the 2008 ICM Songwriter of the Year. In May of 2008 Russ was chosen as the AgapeFest Horizon Award winner as well as winner of the AgapeFest 2008 Songwriter of the Year.
