Through five albums and seventeen chart hits, Darryl Worley has produced one of the most impressive and wide-ranging catalogs in contemporary music. He has for ten years been a mainstay of modern country, a distinctive singer and first-rate songwriter whose music has chronicled life, love and the world situation with equal facility.

He has topped the charts with singles including "I Miss My Friend," "Awful, Beautiful Life" and "Have You Forgotten," which accomplished the feat for one, two and an incredible seven weeks, respectively. He hit the Top 20 with the first three singles from his impressive major-label debut, Hard Rain Don't Last-"When You Need My Love," "A Good Day to Run" and "Second Wind"-and followed with smashes like "If Something Should Happen," "I Just Came Back From A War" and the iconic, "Tennessee River Run."

Along the way, he has sold nearly two million albums, earned nominations for five major ACM and CMA awards, including "Song of the Year" and "Single of the Year," and has written songs for other artists including George Jones.

Now, with the release of his sixth album, Sounds Like Life, Worley reasserts himself as one of country's true creative forces. Sounds like Life showcases Worley as a songwriter of depth and passion and a singer whose versatility and believability have grown stronger through the years. The project is a microcosm of his life and career, with the sometimes rocky, sometimes triumphant road he's traveled infusing every track, and it bears both the sense of detail and the universality we've come to expect from the 6'6" hit-maker.

Young guitar great, vocalist and entertainer Rick Derringer was just 17 when his band "The McCoys" recorded the No.1 hit "Hang On Sloopy" in the summer of 1965, knocking "Yesterday" by The Beatles out of the top spot.

Throughout the 70's and 80's the popular Derringer appeared on numerous albums with artists Alice Cooper, Richie Havens, Todd Rundgren and Steely Dan. The list also includes Cyndi Lauper, Barbra Streisand, Kiss, Mason Ruffner and Madam X.

In the mid-80's, Derringer discovered Weird Al Yancovic, producing music for Grammy-winning albums and videos. Derringer's productions of the Michael Jackson parodies, the No. 1 hit "Eat It", and "Who's Fat", have been Yancovic's most successful recordings.

The 2006 Grammy Awards brought Rick his 3rd Grammy with his participation on the Les Paul 90th birthday tribute CD. His performance was featured on a cut with Buddy Guy and Keith Richards, and once again, Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo was a highlight, this time by Edgar Winter and Kenny Wayne Shepherd.

Coming full circle, this legend's barrel is reloaded; ready to shoot right now! Go to WWW.RickDerringer.com for the latest release, "ROCKIN' AMERICAN"! It seems like almost too much story to take in at one sitting, but the most surprising part is, he's just getting started.

The Brian Hanson Band has performed throughout the Northwest, sharing the stage with performers like Brad Paisley, Clint Black, Neal McCoy, Pat Green, Pam Tillis, Collin Raye, Trick Pony, Little Texas and Lee Greenwood. The band has appeared at many prestigious events throughout the region including The Oregon Jamboree, Pendleton Roundup, Portland Rose Festival, & The Sublimity Harvest Festival to name a few.

Super Charged Country, best describes their style and their performance as they hold nothing back when they take the stage. Brian and his fiddle appear to become one with each other and the separation of whether Brian or the fiddle is in control becomes a blur. The Brian Hanson band is a must see for anyone who loves music.
