Classically trained in guitar, Abby Parks began her musical journey at age 12 when she received her first guitar as a birthday gift from her parents. She took a liking to it immediately, took some lessons, and then taught herself classical guitar until she graduated high school. She also grew up singing in school choirs and churches, and toured with a six-part a cappella group called Profile while attending Colorado Christian University in Colorado. About this time she began to write her own songs, something she had dreamed of doing since her childhood. Many of her songs are

inspired by her personal relationship with God. John Michael Talbot, a classical guitarist and singer within the Christian community, was a great inspiration to her and her chief motivation to learn classical guitar. Since then, she has sung her own songs in churches, at private parties, and music venues in order to inspire and uplift.

Abby Parks showcases her songwriting talent on her debut album MOVING ON, an interesting mix of folk, country, and pop. Lyrics of love, loss, and hope are set to moving tracks that embody her style--at times energetic and gritty, and at others, soothing and reflective. All tracks are supported by Abby’s classic guitar stamp--uniquely crafted finger-style accompaniment or driving acoustic rhythm guitar.

Furious Four

A feel good rap group of white boys who just want you dance to the beat. The Furious Four first came together in August of 2005 in hopes of making a simple four track rap/hip-hop demo. From there things progressed into something completely unexpected for a few kids from Guntersville, AL.

The boys created a Myspace page for their musical effort, and news spread quickly with the quartet playing their first concert only days after.

Lorene, a life long resident of Sand Mountain lives happily with a wonderful husband and four boys.  Her first daughter is due in June.    “ I am very passionate about certain issues as will be apparent in future releases, however, she reiterates with emphasis “it is my message and not my soul that’s on the market".  Lorene recorded her first two songs not knowing what genre they belonged in.  “Some may think me too ‘country’ for the Christian artist while others will see my style as too Christian for the ‘country’, she says laughing.  “I intend to challenge the culture in any venues available to me.  Lorene’s first CD about her papa and granny was first an idea for family, (a very large one) but then the decision was made to take it a little further and the songs were taken to the studio.  To Lorene, her grandparents represented peace, contentment, stability and fun.  To her father and many of her aunts, uncles and cousins, these songs struck a chord.  She hopes they resonate with you as well.
