After releasing two albums and receiving widespread acclaim
in her native New Zealand, Kylie decided to bring her talent

Informative, entertaining, and inspiring - that's Nan Kelley.
Many viewers know Nan as TV host of GAC's Grand Ole Opry
Live where she's interviewed everyone from Garth Brooks
and Dolly Parton to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld
and The Today Show's Willard Scott. Viewers may not realize,
however, that music is in every thread of her life. |
(Country Music Across America)
Growing up in Tulsa, Okla., Warren's inherent passion for
music was cultivated at an early age. First introduced to
the sounds of Charlie Daniels by an older brother, it was
the engaging, storytelling style of tunes like "Devil
Went Down to Georgia," "Legend of Wooley Swamp"
and "El Toreador" that drew Warren to country
music. |
