Brandy Clark, Amy Grant

Four-time GRAMMY nominee Brandy Clark is country singer and songwriter citing Patsy Cline's film 'Sweet Dreams' as one her biggest early influences. She picked up the guitar at the mere age of 9 years old and went on to become a highly successful songwriter for other artists including LeAnn Rimes and Sheryl Crow. Brandy then decided to launch her own singing career and the rest is history.

She writes songs mostly based on the seedy underbelly of country folk. Observational pieces based on flawed characters, containing dark humour and realism. Along with Sturgill Simpson, Ashley Monroe, Chris Stapleton and Kacey Musgraves, Clark is part of a new vanguard in country music.

Dubbed the "Queen of Christian Pop", Amy Grant is best known for her early 90's worldwide hits 'Baby Baby' (a US number 1 and UK number 2) and cover of the Joni Mitchell classic 'Big Yellow Taxi'. The six times Grammy award winning singer eventually returned to her gospel roots following her mainstream pop success, leading her to be inducted into the Gospel Music Hall Of Fame. 2010's latest album 'Somewhere Down The Road' saw another inspirational collection of songs close to her faith, with hit single 'Better Than A Hallelujah' scoring high on the Billboard Christian chart.
