Nashville-based singer/songwriter Kathy Ashworth originally hails from Newport Beach, California. “It was not as trendy as it is now, but Nashville was always cool, very creative and a place I wanted to be.” Kathy has had her original songs featured on radio and TV, written songs for many independent artists and collaborated with several award-winning writers, artists, and producers. A highlight was having one of her songs, King of Music Row, which she co-wrote with Grammy-winning songwriter, Tom Douglas, performed on the Grand Ole Opry.

Her viral You Tube video, “Sicka Cicadas” features Kathy singing in her backyard while the cicada invasion of 2012 was going on around her. “Cicadas were literally hitting me in the head as we were shooting the video.” Sicka Cicadas was also featured on Netflix/BBC Network show, Nature’s Weirdest II.

In addition to singing and writing, Kathy has appeared in commercials, TV, movies and hosted the video series, the Foxhedge Sessions. She also produces private and corporate songwriter shows and has recently completed her first novel.

Kent Blazy, growing up in Lexington, KY, became musically inspired when he heard Roger McGuinn playing his Rickenbacker guitar on "Mr. Tamborine Man."  This created a new choice and Kent traded in his baseball glove for a guitar.
He began his musical journey with a series of bands all over the eastern half of the country.  By the mid-70's, Kent was band leader, playing guitar and touring with Canadian legend, Ian Tyson.  Sound advice and the timely first place win in a national songwriter contest persuaded him to move to Nashville in 1980.  Kent's commitment was not to focus his efforts at the craft of songwriting.  It was a very fine decision.

In 1982, sooner than expected, Gary Morris took "Headed For A Heartache" to #5 on the Charts.  In the years that followed other artists, such as The Forrester Sisters, T. Graham Brown, Donna Fargo and Moe Bandy recorded Kent's tunes.  In an effort to develop more knowledge of the recording side of music and for the benefits of a "day job," Kent opened a home recording studio.  The studio offered an option for Kent's demos as well as a demo service to other writers.  This studio introduced Kent to some of the new demo singers and songwriters of Nashville; names like Randy Travis, Billy Dean, Trisha Yearwood, Joe Diffie and Martina McBride, now well-known country artists.  

In 1987, Kent was introduced to a new demo singer by Bob Doyle, then with ASCAP, soon to be the manager for this emerging talent, Garth Brooks.  Garth became Kent's most requested demo singer and Bob Doyle also advised, "Garth writes a little bit too."  The first song Garth and Kent penned together was "If Tomorrow Never Comes," which became the first #1 for both.  The friendship and writing partnership continued as Garth included 8 more of their songs on his albums.  Four more captured the #1 slot:  "Somewhere Other Than The Night," "Ain't Goin' Down ('Til the Sun Comes Up)," "It's Midnight Cinderella," and "She's Gonna Make It."

Garth's album, "The Lost Sessions," includes another Kent and Garth song, "For a Minute There," written for their fathers. Kent and fellow songwriter Pat Alger co-produced a album titled In The Beginning:  A Songwriter's Tribute to Garth Brooks. This project is a collective of 6 other songwriters who composed songs on Garth's first two albums.  The focus was to present the songs in the original acoustic and authentic sound form as Garth first heard them.  The album was originally planned as a gift to Garth during his 100 million party in 2000.  An independent recording label saw the potential and released the album in 2001, resulting in 50,000+ copies sold to date.  

An added benefit of the album included a tour in Ireland for Kent and 3 other Garth writers.  In Ireland, Kent discovered that "If Tomorrow Never Comes" was released in Europe, Japan, Australia and The United Kingdom by an Irish artist, Ronan Keating.  His recording became a successful #1 song in many countries.  Kent's songwriter continues with established writing partnerships, as well as developing partnerships with new writers and artists.  Many of his crafted works continue to be recorded by artists such as Kenny Chesney, Diamond Rio, Terri Clark, Clay Walker, Patty Loveless, Julie Roberts, Andy Griggs, and Blaine Larsen.  Kent's latest #1 hit "Gettin' Your Home (The Black Dress Song)" was recorded by Chris Young.
