Greg Bates is a rare find these days in the music business. A Nashville native, Greg is a multi-talented songwriter, producer, singer, and guitarist with a resumé that includes songs cut by Luke Combs, Chase Rice, Justin Moore, Montgomery Gentry, Tyler Booth, and William Michael Morgan. His time as an artist on Republic Nashville, highlighted by his Top 5 hit “Did It For the Girl”, gives Greg a perspective that few writers possess. His deep roots in traditional country music, as well as his love of hit, contemporary radio has led to amazing collaborations with some of the best young talent in Nashville today.


Greg, his wife Shelley and their three children moved back to Powell County in 2023 to be close to family. When he is not writing and performing, Greg loves to serve the area as a real estate agent as well as work on Sycamore, a brand new luxury micro resort that he and Shelley are building in the Red River Gorge.

CMA award winning songwriter Gary Harrison came to Nashville from his native Memphis in 1973  to attend college with a vague notion of somehow being involved in the music industry here. In 1976 he secured his first songwriting deal and had his first songs recorded by Barbara Mandrell, Ronnie Milsap and Charley Pride. In 1978, the Dean Dillon co-written "Lying in Love With You" [Jim Ed Brown and Helen Cornelius] went to Number 1 on the singles chart.It was the first hit for either songwriter.

Since then over 300 of his songs have been recorded. He has enjoyed hits by such artists as George Strait, Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride,BJ Thomas,Mark Chesnutt and many others. In 1997 he and longtime writing partner Matraca Berg won the CMA  Award for song of the year for "Strawberry Wine"[Deana Carter]

For Michael White, songwriting was always in his blood. His father L.E. White was a Grammy award winning singer, songwriter and musician for Conway Twitty.

Michael has received two ASCAP and BMI Airplay Awards for the #1 songs “The Baby” by Blake Shelton and “Kiss You In the Morning” by Michael Ray and the top 10 “Loving Every Minute” by Mark Wills.
