Breaking new barriers is nothing new to Reid, who decades ago became the first African-American homecoming queen at Northwestern University and shortly thereafter one of the first African-American women to appear on the cover of Glamour magazine. But many fans of her modeling and acting career probably don’t know that Reid is a lifelong shutterbug, a hobby passed down by her father that has now become a focal point of her career.

We had a great conversation with Country artist @Joedi Silvers on The Chris & Sandy Show. We talked about many things from Nashville, music, sacrifices, he told some really great stories to a whole lot more! Joedi Silvers came by his classic country sound honestly. His father lived it, performing in Nashville and all over the world in the 70’s and 80’s. Joe Don Silvers was a hitmaker. He wrote for Barbara Mandrell, Charley Pride, Janie Fricke, Lois Johnson and Willie Nelson, to name a few. He also founded a studio on Music Row with his friend, Faron Young, “The Queen of Sound.” Joe Don toured for decades all over the world. Two of his longest and most notable touring partners were “The Nashville Junction” and Hank Williams, Jr. His young son quickly proved to be a chip off the old block musically. “I started singing at three,” recalls Joedi. “My dad had a studio in our basement, and some of my first musical memories are of joining him in singing ‘Orange Blossom Special’ and ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ in that basement studio.” As a young boy Joedi was a typical kid, spending his time playing sports and video games. Eventually he pursued his true calling and passion for the traditional country music style of his father. He taught himself to play his dad’s guitar, becoming proficient on the instrument and quickly harnessing the retro country sound that comes naturally. Joedi’s voice takes you back to a time when artists like Ray Price, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash were kings, when steel guitar and analog sound ruled, and music made you feel something in your soul. Joedi hopes to bring back this style, armed with drawers of songs penned by his dad that fit his deep throwback voice and rhinestone-shimmering image perfectly. On a whim he recorded “Sleeping Alone,” a song written by his father, and uploaded it to Instagram. Within a few days, the video had over half a million views, and eventually it exceeded well over 2 million views. With that success under his belt, Joedi set off for Nashville, his dad’s old stomping grounds, armed with little more than his sheer talent and a desire to share it with the world. At 19 years old, Joedi Silvers is an old soul who often seems wise beyond his years. He currently hones his talent performing in bars on Broadway, where many of Nashville’s biggest artists began their journey to fame. He brings a fresh energy and passion to the original sound that first made Music City great. His is the same honest sound that propelled a generation of artists who are revered a few streets away from Broadway at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Joedi is ready to take his place among pure country greats both past and present.

We had a wonderful conversation with country artist, top 5 @American Idol finalist @Janelle Arthur on The Chris & Sandy Show as she returns back to the show. We talked about so many things from sacrifices, her new song, her movie, she told some really awesome stories to a whole lot more! Janelle Arthur releases her second single on Black Sheep Records today, a song she co-wrote called "What Would Dolly Do." Arthur's destiny has been crossed with the inimitable @Dolly Parton since she was just a little girl, and she’s been inspired by the humble-hearted legend in innumerous ways, most recently when Parton offered to sing on Arthur’s touching ballad “Hand Me Downs.” At only 8 years old, the former American Idol finalist got her start portraying a young Dolly in a live production of her life story. Arthur was moved by Parton’s constant, unending kindness over the years and wanted to express her thanks, and what better way to do that than in a song. So she sat down with co-writer @Brett Sheroky and wrote the fun-filled new single, “What Would Dolly Do?” The tune is a perfect homage to the legend, who has touched so many lives in so many ways and made them better. “I had the hook ‘WW Double D” for a while before I wrote it with the incredibly talented Brett Sheroky,” explains Arthur. “It was a song that I felt like I needed to write. Dolly’s willingness to sing with me was something that I could never repay, and so I wanted to write something that encompassed just how incredible, humble, witty, and fabulous she is. It highlights everything from her big hair to her big... heart! It’s an anthem not only for Dolly lovers, but for anyone who thinks we need a little more kindness (and rhinestones) in the world!“ Arthur infuses the song with just the right amount of playfulness and sass, and churns out a perfectly fitting tribute to the Queen of Rhinestones herself. “What Would Dolly Do” is the latest song from Arthur on Black Sheep Records (distributed by CDX Records via The Orchard) and is available on digital music streaming platforms now.

We had a great conversation with Country Artist @Easton Corbin on The Chris & Sandy Show. We talked about several things from his team / label, his new single "I Can't Decide" which Sandy & I believe will go #1, music, sacrifices and so much more! Easton Corbin has been gracing stages with his memorable baritone and unique blend of traditional and modern country music for more than a decade. The Florida native, who boasts two No. 1 singles with “A Little More Country Than That” and “Roll With It,” embarks on a new musical chapter with his recent signing to Stone Country Records. Corbin teams with industry veterans Benny Brown, Paul Brown and Jason Sellers as the label’s flagship artist. Corbin says he and Music Row mainstay Benny Brown initially met and bonded over their mutual love of traditional country music. No stranger to the writing room himself, Corbin has penned songs with Sellers ahead of signing with the independent label. The singer, who has spent several years as an independent artist following nearly a decade with Mercury Nashville, says he’s in a great position being Stone Country’s flagship artist. “They let me do what I want to do and let me be me, which is very important,” the singer says.

The film has played at 28 festivals around the country including Cinequest, Worldfest Houston (winning Best Suspense/Thriller), the Suspense Thriller Festival winning (Best Feature) and the Flicker Festival in Rhode Island. Internationally the film was screened at the Ischia Global Fest (Italy), the London Independent Film Festival, the Toronto Independent Film Festival of Cift and the Vancouver Independent Film Festival. Danner won Best Director at the Milan Gold Awards, the Montreal Independent Film Festival, the Paris Play Film Festival, the Vancouver Independent Film Festival, and L’Age d’Or. A dedicated mom of two (one is an aspiring filmmaker), Danner still has her “day job” – overseeing the faculty of the Los Angeles Acting Conservatory, and conducting her weekly acting class. Danner’s list of students has included Christian Slater, Salma Hayek, Gerard Butler, Seth McFarlane, Penelope Cruz, Chris Rock, Gabrielle Union, and Zooey Deschanel. A longtime student of legendary acting teachers like Stella Adler and Uta Hagen, Danner’s eclectic approach (which she calls “The Golden Box”) allows actors the freedom to employ a wide variety of techniques. Raised in a show business family and with a deep appreciation for all of the performing arts, Danner also continues to run the boutique “Cinema at the Edge” film festival and is currently preparing to direct a new one-person play, Bonnie Culver’s “Norris,” starring Anne Archer, based on the memoirs of the widow of writer Norman Mailer.
