Rhonda Lee West, "This Time", "I Promise"
Who is Rhonda Lee West? To say that she "floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee" would be an understatement. This spiky-haired blonde dynamo is an amazingly gifted singer, songwriter and entertainer. Though originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she has spent the last 15 years singing to audiences throughout the South. Her "little bit of country and little bit of rock-n-roll" style has netted her a loyal fan following over the past decade and a half. Her voice has often been compared to that of Tanya Tucker, Patsy Cline, and a female version of Elvis Presley, with its deep-rooted gospel flavor and heartfelt sincerity.

Graham Gould, "Crazy"
Born and raised in the City of Melbourne, Australia, Graham's early country musical influences came from the likes of Marty Robbins and Glen Campbell. Graham started playing in bands in local dance halls and bars in the late 60s before moving into Cabaret. Joining the band STONEY CREEK in 1979, they carved a name for themselves on Australia's country music circuit, headlining at most of the major music festivals in the eastern states. Because of the band's harmonizing and backing abilities they were also chosen as back up for many of Australia's top solo artists. Graham toured and recorded with the band as well as winning an award for songwriting. Many of the old unrecorded songs became the catalyst for recording this new album, Soundboard.

Gary & Carol Bibb, "Soldier's Prayer", "I’m Gonna Miss You"
Born and raised in Missouri, husband & wife Gary & Carol Bibb write and sing songs about life issues, hope, and love as an expression of how they live their lives in relationship with people and each other. Thanks to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the words, melody and music to our songs.
Soldier's Prayer. This song was written 2 years before our soldiers left for war in Iraq. Once again our brave young men & women would sacrifice themselves for our freedom. Their lives are valuable and precious. We should all pray for their safety on a daily basis. Our prayer is "whatever they face or confront - the Lord will comfort, protect & reassure them that He will never leave them nor forsake them". We are blessed to live in America, and we are blessed to have the ones who defend our country by their faith and belief that freedom is a gift. America is a gift. May we respect, honor & support our troops representing a light to all mankind. In God We Trust & God Bless Our Soldiers.
I'm Gonna Miss You. comes straight from the heart in memory of my grandmother, our fathers and our grandson. Grief comes to all of us at certain times in life and pain is sometimes held inside. My grief and pain came out through this song. In the midst of grief I found help, someone to lean on and cry out to. His name is Jesus. He also wept and knows all of our sorrows. With Him we can make it through life's issues, and one of His precious gifts to all of us are memories. Through this song I was able to express and experience God's perfect love, and that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. God is love, and love never dies. My prayer is that this song will relate to broken hearts and give assurance that God will help them through times of grief and sorrow. For a while I'm gonna miss you, but for eternity Joy will last forever. Email: gacabibb@peoplepc.com

JONAH (Phil Womack and Rhonda Lester), "The Other Side of Goodbye"
Phil Womack began playing guitar as a teen, influences: John Denver, James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot, & other folk singers. His first professional gig was in a Bluegrass duo, and Phil still incorporates banjo into some of his songs. There are many types of guitars, but for Phil it is the 12-string Acoustic. The full sound and easy style of Phil's playing, takes you back to the early days of the Coffee Houses, when "unplugged" meant you couldn’t afford equipment. After playing Country/Western for many years, Phil's music took a new turn. An encounter with the Lord led him to start writing things that were on his heart, as he blends spiritual principles & Bible stories into everyday life.

She plays rhythm guitar and sings strong lead as well as harmony. Rhonda has been a Christian all her life. She spent most of her youth singing and playing folk style songs on the guitar. She likes Phil's songwriting style and loves to sing these songs of hope for all to enjoy! Full length CD: $10 USD, includes shipping USA locations. Money Orders/ PayPal.
