THE SPINNERS
It should come as no surprise that The Spinners have always made timeless music. Their classic group sound and approach never loses its universal appeal.

SIXWIRE
Six-string guitars gave Sixwire the inspiration for their name, and with three guitarists at the helm of this Nashville five-piece band, it's more than fitting. Andy Childs, Steve Mandile, and Robb Houston along with bassist John Howard and drummer Chuck Tilley all did their fair share of touring and session work before coming together as Sixwire. But they're more than just a session band. Sixwire writes and produces all of their own material, and on occasion even directs and edits their own videos. Rather than try to pattern themselves after the many bands who influenced them, they prefer to follow a musical path that they themselves have created. Strong vocals, big guitars, memorable songs and tight musicianship have become a trademark of the group.
