Jack Sundrud is a respected Nashville songwriter, bassist and singer. He moved to Nashville in the early '80s, where he quickly became bassist/vocalist for some of Music City's top touring acts including: Vince Gill, Dickey Betts, Bobby Whitlock, Gail Davies, The O'Kanes, Nicolette Larson, Kathy Mattea and others - before spending most of the next 30 years recording and touring with venerable country-rock pioneers, Poco.
Between stints with Poco, Jack's songs were brought to the attention of the Judd's producer, Brent Maher. This led to the formation of Great Plains (also featuring Russ Pahl, Denny Bixby and Michael Young) an edgy country-rock band fronted by Sundrud, who recorded for Columbia Records. The band's single release, “Faster Gun” became a top 25 radio hit in 1992.
As a songwriter, Jack co-wrote (with Michael Johnson) 4Runner's breakout hit, “Cain's Blood” and Ty Herndon's #1, “It Must Be Love” (with Craig Bickhardt). His songs have also been recorded by: Kenny Rogers, The Judds, Little River Band, Ricochet, The Persuasions, Michael Johnson and many more.
He is currently touring and recording with Cimarron 615, a band comprised of former Poco members Sundrud, Michael Webb & Rick Lonow and former Flying Burrito Brothers member, Ronnie Guilbeau. Their latest album, “Brand New Distance” is available now through the band's website (cimarron615.com) or from any streaming location.
Kent Agee first gained recognition as the creator and lead-singer of the Warner/Chappell rock band, “Jane His Wife”. The visually striking, sonically lush band, with George Bradfute-guitar, Kyle Miller-bass and Scott Miller-drums, played to standing-room-only audiences and featured Agee’s intense presence and his transformative lyrics. The band was courted by labels from L.A. to London, but the music business was in a state of change and Nashville wasn’t the place to birth a band that sounded like Pink Floyd meets the Doors. So, in spite of an international buzz, Jane His Wife never got a record out. But Kent had created fans of his writing on Music Row.
As a staff writer for Warner-Chapell, Sony, then Wrensong, Windswept-Pacific and RPM Music, Agee focused on writing songs for other artists. During that time, and later writing for his own publishing company, Bolt Upright, Kent had songs recorded by artists from Barbra Streisand to Rodney Atkins to Tom Keifer among many others. He became recognized in the industry as a diverse writer of rich, image driven lyrics, and songs that are always honest and often brilliant.
Kent’s first solo project, “Fields and Fences” was an Americana record, beautifully bridging his transition back from writer to artist. The song, “Omens of the End” off of that record was picked by music journalist Bob Oermann as one of the best indie releases of the year. Now, with two new EP’s just out, “The Meteorite” and “Crop Circles”, Kent is picking up where Jane His Wife left off, combining the creative impulses and vision he had then with the craft he’s developed and the wisdom he’s acquired since, using words and imagery like a combination lock to open up the mystery and meaning of being human.
I was raised in San Antonio, Texas.
At the age of eleven, I started playing guitar:
a Sears and Roebuck's acoustic and a Framus electric.
I learned 'Hide Your Love Away', House of the Rising Sun',
'Louie, Louie', and 'As Tears Go By'.
In 1967, our combo played 'Gloria' to our elementary school
in Heidelberg, Germany.
Back in the states, I absorbed the musical fare reverberating
around San Antonio.
After moving to Tarboro, North Carolina, I joined 'Jack and the Cadillacs' in high school, playing some 'serious' blues and rock and roll.
In Chapel Hill, NC, I played in the 'Hope Valley Trio', a reformed 'Jack and the Cadillacs', and in 1986 joined 'Southern Culture on the Skids'.
After I left 'Southern Culture', I put out two solo records ('Ghostdance' and 'Steel Blue Ballads'). I am honored to have opened shows for the likes of Warren Zevon, Richard Thompson, Doc and Merle Watson, Lucinda Williams, Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter, Steve Forbert, Eric Andersen, Sleepy Labeef, Alex Chilton and NRBQ.
In 1993, I moved to Nashville, and lived on 16th Avenue South for ten years, writing for Pickard Mountain Publishing, Not Stock Music (EMI), Warner-Chapell Publishing and Sonoita Music (BMI). I landed an artist developmental deal with Bill Halverson.
At this time, I began touring, writing, recording, and performing with many of my heroes: Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell, Joy Lynn White, The Sky Kings, Bobbie Cryner, Jack Sundrud, Linda Hargrove, Charles John Quarto, Danny Flowers, George Hamilton IV and V, John Cowan, Poco, Rusty Young, Bill Lloyd, Hugh Moffitt, Bonnie Bramlett, Michael Rhodes, Russ Mason, Duane Jarvis, Billy Block, Robert Reynolds, Stu Cole, Cidny Bullens, Sam Baker, Marcus Hummon, Walt Wilkins, and others.
In 2001, I recorded my album 'Well of Mercy' in Rodney Crowell's basement, engineered by Donivan Cowart and produced by the great Bill Halverson.
For much of these last many years, my musical adventures have included, as a member of The Saint Augustine Ramblers, support to Becca Stevens and her brilliant message of love, hope and justice.
'Harmony Sovereign' is my latest recording, graced by the talents of Jack Sundrud, Bill Halverson, Siobhan Kennedy, Tammy Rogers, Paul Griffith, John Cowan, Ray Kennedy and Bob Delevante. Halverson narrowed the field to 16 songs and sequenced them.
Lastly, I am so grateful. Peace and Love.
Richard Wold started his career in Milwaukee singing with a national touring group performing with Mike Douglas, Doc Severinsen, and Tennessee Ernie Ford among others. He also toured with Dolly Parton as a background vocalist.
His love of song writing and session work also started there, and led him to Chicago where he began a 20 year professional career as a jingle singer and voice-over artist.
In 1980 Richard had the good fortune of teaming up with Bobby Whiteside, an incredible writer and producer. Together they wrote 3 songs recorded by Barbra Streisand, including her hit “Coming In and Out Of Your Life”. They also wrote songs recorded by Johnny Mathis, Andy Gibb, Rex Smith, Ray Goodman and Brown, The Dells, and other artists.
Deciding to put all his eggs in one basket, he took the chance and moved to Nashville. In 1993 He co-wrote Celine Dion’s song “I Remember L.A.” with Tony Colton. This lead to a contract with Warner Chappell. During this time he had songs recorded by Anne Murray, Bonnie Tyler, Peabo Bryson, Jeffery Osbourne, Regina Bell and James Bonamy. Much of his inspiration came from the incredible people he got to write with including Paul Williams, Olivia Newton-John, Don Pfrimmer, Rory Bourke, Joie Scott, John David and so many more talented artists.
He moved on from Warner Chappell to Curb Magnatone. In 2001 He co-wrote the Canadian Independent Song of the Year “Something Undeniable” with Lisa Brokop and Cyril Rawson. It was a great staff of writers and artists at Curb, including his pal Jack Sundrud.
