SARA PETITE: This fiery Americana

singer-songwriter has torn up

stages for the past 15 years

with her band. She has released seven albums, the latest called

The Empress on Forty Below Records, with label president Eric Corne as

producer. Sara has played many stages and venues over the years playing

with her band and solo as a headliner or a solo performer. Some of the artists

she’s opened for are Todd Snider, Lucinda Williams, Josh Turner, Lonestar,

The Beat Farmers, John Eddie, Marty Stuart, Railroad Earth, and Rhett Mill-

er. Said Glide Magazine, “She can sound as feisty as Loretta Lynn and Wanda

Jackson, and she is just as good at portraying heartache as Patsy Cline.”

Watch John

JOHN SURGE and his Haymakers are known

for red-hot live shows and a California

country sound that weaves together

classic country, rock ’n’ roll, blues and

folk styles into a spirited feel good

blend. The latest release on Blackbird

Records was produced in Texas by Tommy Detamore (Jim Lauderdale-Jesse

Daniel) reached No. 32 on the prestigious Americana Music Association chart.

Said Lonesome Highway, “With ‘Almost Time,’ Surge has made an album that

fits like a pair of well worn jeans and feels the right side of retro country but

also has an eye to the future and perfects his own personal vision of the mu-

sic that came from the likes of the Palomino Club in its heyday in L.A.”
