Biography
Early Life
Cash was born Valerie June Carter in Maces Springs, Virginia. She performed with the Carter Family from a young age, beginning around 1939. In March 1943, when the Carter Family trio stopped recording together after the WBT contract, Maybelle Carter, with encouragement from her husband Ezra, formed "Mother Maybelle & the Carter Sisters" with her daughters Helen, Anita, and June. The new group first aired on radio station WRNL in Richmond, Virginia, on June 1. Doc and Carl rejoined them in late 1945. June, then 16, was a co-announcer with Ken Allyn and did the commercials on the radio shows. For the next year, the Carters and Doc and Carl did show dates within driving range of Richmond through Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania. She later said she had to work harder at her music than her sisters, but she had her own special talent, comedy. A highlight of the road shows was her "Aunt Polly" comedy routine. Carl wrote in his memoirs that June was "a natural born clown, if there ever was one." She attended South Rowan High School during this period.
Ezra Carter declined Grand Ole Opry offers to move the family to Nashville, Tennessee a number of times because the Opry would not permit Chet Atkins to accompany the group. Finally, in 1950 Opry management relented and the group, along with Atkins, became part of the Opry company. Here the family befriended Hank Williams and Elvis Presley (to whom they were distantly related), and June met Johnny Cash.
With her thin and lanky frame, June Carter often played a comedic foil during the group's performances alongside other Opry stars Faron Young and Webb Pierce.
Marriages and Children
She was married three times, first to honky-tonk singer Carl Smith from July 9, 1952, until their divorce in 1956. They had a daughter Rebecca Carlene Smith aka Carlene Carter. On November 11, 1957, she married stock car driver Edwin "Rip" Nix and had a daughter Rozanna (Rosie Nix Adams). They were divorced in 1966. Both daughters became singers. John Carter Cash, born in 1970, was the offspring of her marriage to singer Johnny Cash.
With Johnny Cash
In 1968 June married Johnny Cash, her third husband, and the marriage spanned 35 years. Rosanne Cash once stated that "if being a wife were a corporation, June would have been a CEO. It was her most treasured role."
In 1967, she and Cash won a Grammy Award in the Best Country & Western Performance, Duet, Trio Or Group (vocal or instrumental) category for the song "Jackson." In 1970, they won again in the Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal category for the song, "If I Were a Carpenter."
Death
June died on May 15, 2003 in Nashville, Tennessee from complications following heart valve surgery two years after she had an artificial pacemaker implanted. She was interred in Hendersonville Memory Gardens in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Johnny Cash died four months later.
Awards
In 1999, she won a Grammy Award for her album, Press On. Her last album, Wildwood Flower, was released posthumously in 2003 and won two additional Grammys. It contains bonus video enhancements showing extracts from the film of the recording sessions which took place at the Carter Family Estate in Hiltons, Virginia on September 18-20, 2002.

Terri's grandparents Ray and Betty Gauthier were both noted Canadian country musicians, and her mother belonged to the folk scene. From a young age, Terri wore cowboy outfits, a trait she retained into later years. After graduating high school, she moved from Medicine Hat, Alberta to Nashville in 1987, where she got her start playing at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge.
It took several years, in which she had to perform menial jobs and do poorly paid appearances until she received a record contract in 1994 from Mercury Records.
Even her first single, "Better Things To Do", reached #3 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. Her debut album, released in the same year, achieved gold status and contained a few songs she had composed herself. Both "When Boy Meets Girl" and "If I Were You" also charted in the Top 10. In June 2004, she was the first Canadian woman to be inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. She received additional honors in her home country.
Her second album, Just The Same, sold even better than her first work. In the USA as well as Canada, it went platinum. The released single Poor, Poor Pitiful Me reached number five. Terri Clark had finally established herself in the music scene.
Her streak of success continues into the following years, even when the sales figures of her previous singles and albums could not be repeated. In her native Canada, she is among the most beloved country musicians.
She is married to tour manager and acoustic guitarist, Greg Kaczor. In late September 2005, she moved to Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
High Valley
“We always describe ourselves as Dierks Bentley as a trio. It’s that new country kind of vibe,” says Brad Rempel, who along with his brothers Bryan and Curtis comprises High Valley “It’s not as pop as some contemporary country. Our music is a little more organic, a little more acoustic. We grew up singing harmony as a family and in church. There was always harmony and acoustic instruments, so our live show features a mandolin, an acoustic guitar, a bass guitar and three part harmony.”
The Canadian trio has opened shows for Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, LeAnn Rimes and Reba McEntire, earning a solid reputation as a must-see live act. High Valley’s last album, “Broken Borders,” was named Album of the Year at the 2007 GMA Canada Covenant Awards in the country category while their hit “Back to You” was honored as Country Song of the Year. High Valley has also been among the nominees for Group of the Year at the Nashville-based Inspirational Country Music Awards.

JORDAN DOELL - Son Of Art Biography
“
It’s such an amazing feeling to be in this place where ‘This is Who I am and What I do’. Writing, singing and performing my own songs is a dream realized, music is at the centre of my focus and passion.” In a family of six children, there was one musical passion gene and it went straight from father to his son Jordan. Performing from the age of seven as a country and gospel soloist, Jordan later moved into rock n’ roll and gained extensive experience as he toured throughout Western Canada playing the club circuit. The training of gospel proved an asset and in the mid 90’s Jordan’s powerful voice and energetic stage presence contributed to the success of popular local band, Slot 9. The band received airplay on Vancouver’s 99.3 The Fox with a tune called “Green Face Out”.
The last six years have seen Jordan rediscover his roots in country music and embrace its melodies and stories with newfound passion. “It’s the story lines that appeal to me the most” say’s Jordan, “They all have such great tales to tell”. Once rediscovering his musical passion, there was no looking back. Jordan received a grant from Factor Canada, which helped him to complete a four song, self-titled demo CD featuring ‘Hey Jones’ and ‘She Treats Me Bad’. Both songs have received airplay in Sweden on MCWC radio and in the Netherlands on BRTO Radio and Rucphen FM.
Two major influences have helped shape Jordan’s style. The first is his experience with gospel music, introduced to him as a child by his dad. The gospel background helped hone and train his vocal skills while laying the groundwork for a professional caliber career. His second great influence is country icon George Jones.
Jordan has traveled to Nashville, TN and performed in some of the most famous honkytonks such as Tootsies Orchid Lounge, and The Bluebird Café. As well as his regular Lower Mainland circuit, performances include the Merrit Mountain Music Festival, Wine for the Cure 2005 & 2006 and several showcases with the BC Songwriters Association.
Recently, Jordan played along side the CCMA Awards in St. John, New Brunswick, and can be found entertaining crowds around the Western Canadian Coast. Locally he performs frequently at Gabby’s Cabaret, McBurnies Coffee House, and The Roxy, as well as Citta Pub and Bistro in Whistler’s Center Square.

The Beau Marks
The Beau Marks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Beau Marks were a Canadian rock music group formed in 1958 in Montreal, Quebec. Their first release, the April 1959 single "Rockin' Blues" b/w "Midnight Party", came out under the name The Del-Tones, but the group changed their name soon afterward in a nod to the Bomarc missile. Their breakthrough hit was "Clap Your Hands", which hit #1 in Canada and Australia,[1] and peaked at #45 on the US Billboard pop charts[2] and #15 on Cashbox.[3] The tune was also released in French as "Frappe Tes Mains". Their debut, ten-track full-length came out in 1960; they appeared on American Bandstand and at a charity concert at Carnegie Hall soon afterwards. Two more albums followed before the group broke up in 1963; a 1968 reunion saw "Clap Your Hands" get a re-release.

Canadian Idol forever
Richard Kalan Porter (born 11 November 1985) is a singer from Medicine Hat, Alberta, who was the second winner of the reality television series Canadian Idol. Beating out 8,977 other contestants, Porter was crowned "Idol" on 16 September 2004 in front of a live TV audience. Idol judge Zack Werner nicknamed Porter "The Little Prince" due to his resemblance to a character in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's children's book of the same name.
Kalan's first single "Awake in a Dream" was released on 5 October 2004. "Awake in a Dream" has become the best selling debut single for a Canadian artist to date.
Kalan's debut album 219 Days, released 23 November 2004, reached number four on the Canadian charts in its first week. The album title, 219 Days, refers to the number of days from his first audition to the release of his debut CD.
Kalan's fanbase is generally known as the "Kalanadians" (presumably a play on Claynadians, a name for Clay Aiken's fans).
Kalan completed a cross-Canada, 65-date tour in 2005. Most of these shows were sold out.
Kalan's second album is scheduled for release in The Spring of 2006.

Send “Centerfield” Ringtone to Cell Phone
Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
We’re born again, there’s new grass on the field.
A-roundin’ third, and headed for home, it’s a brown-eyed handsome man;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.
Chorus:
Oh, put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be centerfield.
Well, I spent some time in the mudville nine, watchin’ it from the bench;
You know I took some lumps when the mighty casey struck out.
So say hey willie, tell ty cobb and joe dimaggio;
Don’t say "it ain’t so", you know the time is now.
Chorus
Yeah! I got it, I got it!
Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes;
You know I think it’s time to give this game a ride.
Just to hit the ball and touch ’em all - a moment in the sun;
(pop) it’s gone and you can tell that one goodbye!
