Don’t Mention His Name - Kimberly Bibb-Marrs
Songwriter: Don Schlundt [BMI]
Kimberly grew up in Maryland Heights Missouri. Her Grandpa Jewel Bibb taught her how to play fiddle at 9 years old. She soon started competing in fiddle contests around the region. One of the contests was judged by Kenny Baker and Josh Graves who gave her first place. She was very successful at winning most of the fiddling contests. Her parents literally had a room full of trophies and plaques when she was a kid. At age 11 she won the Nashville Talent Search held in Brazil Indiana. The outcome of that was a 45 single with Bunky Keels on Piano, D. J. Fontana on drums (Elvis' first drummer), Bruce Watkins on guitar, who now plays on all Alan Jackson’s hits, and Duke Dumas on bass. The single charted at its peak at number 18 in Billboard, called “Country Fever” (A-side) and “Grandpas Fiddle And Bow“ (B-side). They performed as Kimberly Dawn and The Bibb Family Band, which were Gary and Carol Bibb, Jewel Bibb- Grandpa- Uncle Mark Bibb, Tammy Bibb now Camenzind, also Tom, Danny, Joe, Gene, Wayne, and the great Bobby Minner, who works with Tim McGraw. Kimberly was also playing with a local bluegrass group called Joe Rapisardo and Country Side Grass, which played bluegrass festivals in Mo. , IL. , Iowa, and elsewhere.

My Final Rose - Allen Karl
Allen Karl, a native of Pennsylvania, has had an interest in music since his early childhood, recalling his favorite memory as gathering in the kitchen and playing music with his mom and friends. By the age of 12, Allen’s mandolin playing grandfather gifted him with a guitar and taught him how to play the basics. As the result of his natural gift for music, Allen's career launched quickly, beginning as a regular featured performer on a live radio show in Pottsville, at WPPA's "Willie Whistle Show."
Allen was just 17 when he won first place in a talent contest and was awarded with a one year recording contract with King Records. Allen began opening shows for name acts such as Jeannie Shephard, Hawkshaw Hawkins, Wanda Jackson, and the legendary Patsy Cline. Allen became the lead singer for the "Shuffles," doing radio shows and touring the Pennsylvania area. It was during this time that Allen learned to read a crowd. He was becoming a seasoned entertainer.
At the age of 21, while Allen was stationed with the U.S. Air force in Japan, he toured with the "The Dixie Land Playboys" as lead singer. The group opened shows for Johnny Cash, Julie London and a young Jimmy Rodgers. Allen performed at the second largest "Grand Ole Opry" in the world in Tokyo, Japan for both Ferlin Husky and Hank Snow. Snow later invited Allen to appear on The Grand Ole Opry Gospel Hour as a special guest of the Snow family.
After a combat tour of duty in Vietnam, Allen was transferred to Thailand and performed nightly at the Udorn Miami Club. Upon returning to the United States, Allen joined the Southern Hilltoppers, then released his first single, titled, "Gonna Buy Me a Camel," underscoring the 1978 gasoline crisis. Nashville dates have included: The Opryland Hotel's Staircase Lounge, The Nashville Palace, The Tennessee Hayride TV Show, and was a big hit on the IFCO Spotlight Show at Fan Fair. As a familiar name on the country music charts, this multi-talented man has had a string of hits, with his latest CD, ”Allen Karl - Rolling River” hitting stores nationwide

It’s Just A Cookie - Trish Lester
An award-winning singer/songwriter from Southern California, Trish Lester cooks up truly fresh Americana music from the wisdom of life experience, often spicing it with satire or humor. Her songs leave a lasting impression on young and old alike, with crystal clear lyrics and unforgettable melodies. The title track on Trish’s CD, Plymouth Belvedere, has played on National Public Radio (NPR) and her song, “Thank a Soldier” graces the home pages of several patriotic Websites.
When Trish was only four years old, her parents noticed she was picking out tunes on the piano (with both hands!). Five years of piano and theory lessons coupled with school choral groups helped strengthen her abilities. In college, she taught herself to play guitar, as the folk era was in full bloom, and she studied with the late Bud Dashiell, of Bud & Travis fame. Upon graduation from UCLA, Trish worked for the US Army in South Korea, where she met two other folk singers. They formed a trio and performed for troops at numerous military installations.
Casually singing and writing songs throughout her adult life, Trish turned a corner with her music after the tragedy of September 11, 2001, and the death of several family members. At that time she forged a new career, tapping into her music DNA and coupling it with many years of writing experience and a well-honed sense of rhythm and rhyme. Friends and fans find her style reminiscent of John Denver and Mary Chapin Carpenter, and often remark, “Listening to Trish is like hearing from a long lost friend.”

Jesus Lives - Kris Miller
Kris’s songs are all expressions of her intimate communion with the Lord. At 17, she began to walk like Jesus on the road in faith. Just like the disciples of 2000 years ago, she was called to “…go to the highways and byways and preach the gospel of peace. Take no shoes, no script, no purse worthy of a thief…” She traveled for years going into all parts of the world giving everything she had to those in need. Through that experience came hundreds of songs of devotion, faith and lessons on how to pass through this world and stay in Love. Kris is now reaching out to the world with her songs to share the wisdom and comfort given to her. Her music is being played worldwide and is bringing a refreshing spirit to all those that hear her. Kris is promoted by RhonBob Promotions.
