Jamie Floyd

Twice nominated for a Grammy, Jamie is a highly regarded songwriter.

Share This

Jamie Floyd, singer and songwriter, writes country songs that aren’t always typical country songs. That makes sense, once you hear her sing. Her voice isn’t exactly a country voice, but a mix of country and blues that slides and hops between octaves. Some of her songs are supremely dance-able, and she totally rocks the techno dance version of her song “Sad Summer.”

MIck Fury

Mick says that the secret to his success is messing up everything else.

Share This

Mick Fury moved to Hollywood to play and to perform, but having homeless women jump him TWICE put it all into the perspective of which way is up. Mick moved back to Syracuse, playing with the band Silent Fury, with a hard rock sound, and began opening for big acts. Mick's tongue-in-cheek humor reflects his wry awareness of the best way to take lessons from adversity. Next landing in Nashville, Mick found the entrance ramp to country music, and became a songwriter for movies and he reformed his band with a new album.

Matt Dragstrem

Going to college adjacent to Nashville's Music Row had a strong influence on this songwriter.

Share This

From the Bluebird Café in Nashville in 2005 listening to a songwriter when the light bulb went off in his head and he thought, "I can do this," Matt hit the songwriting scene in Nashville and couldn't be stopped. In his sophomore year in college Matt began writing music for TV and film, and soon found his niche in country music, with his commentaries on the dance of interpersonal pursuits, such as the fellow who went into a bar and "threw this heart on a stool," and drinking, dancing, and partying, as well as agonizing love.
