Artists

Megan Conner

Megan Conner has been writing, singing and producing professionally for over 18 years but has really been doing it her entire life.  Born in North Carolina, she grew up in Texas then moved to NYC and Nashille, she's seen it all. 

She has had publishing deals both in Nashville and New York City and has landed songs with Rascal Flatts, Chris Young, Craig Morgan's latest single, Kylie Morgan, The Swon Brothers, Danny Gokey and many independent and international artists as well.  She has had numerous songs in movies, TV series and ads with the latest being placed in Superbowl 2024 and a song in the newest season of Selling Sunset.  One of her favorite passions is writing and singing in her duo Paperhouse alongside her duo partner Shane Hines. 

Aside from music she is an award winning fitness instructor, running coach, personal trainer.  She took a quick stint away from Nashville to relocate to the Florida Keys to reconnect with herself, nature and her love for all things.  In Florida, she fell in love with the ocean and underwater photography and it ignited her passion for creating and connecting with people.

No matter what Megan’s involvements have been, it always comes back to affecting people. She has a personal philosophy on which she is building her life, career and art.  She says, “I hope to continue to grow while touching the lives of others through my music and craft. No matter if there are 5,000 people or 5 people in the room that I’m performing in or coaching in – if I connect with just one person, then I consider my job done.”

American Blonde

In a genre charged with upping the ante in female presence, sisters Natalia (Nata) and Christina (Tinka) Morris effortlessly slip right in, taking their place amongst other high-power vocalists and skilled musicians to add to the trend working to change that. And just as their positioning in today’s country music landscape feels entirely natural, so did their initial entrance into the art form. Raised in the Mississippi Delta - known as the birthplace of all American music - Nata and Tinka were raised hearing the stylings of artists in country, rock, Americana, and, perhaps most importantly, blues. 

Sarah Harralson

“Sarah Harralson presents honest, bare-boned recordings that are authentic,” stated Music Connection Magazine after hearing her debut singer-songwriter EP, Finally Found, in 2014. Her authenticity lies in her lyrics based on true stories followed by melodies that will be stuck in your head hours after hearing it. An authentic storyteller and straight shooter, she is not afraid to tell it like it is in her music. This Knoxville native began writing songs when she was ten years old, her bluegrass musician grandfather being her biggest musical influence. She was surrounded by genres such as country, rock 'n roll, soul, and pop growing up, but the storytelling aspect of country is what ultimately drew Harralson to pursue that genre. 

After her grandfather passed in 2011, Sarah decided she would move to Nashville two years later to pursue music at Belmont University. A year after releasing her debut EP in 2014, she was discovered by Scotty Schultz, drummer of Shooter Jennings (Waylon Jennings’s son). Scotty opened up his publishing company, Raindrop Music LLC, in 2015 and after hearing Sarah’s original song “Watered Down Whiskey”, he knew he wanted to sign her right away. This would be Sarah’s first publishing deal. Scotty decided he would produce her first country EP, Watered Down Whiskey, of all original songs that Sarah has either written or co-written. "This EP will help many people and hopefully some will have their heart healed by her emotional lyrics," stated Music Update Central after hearing the release of her second EP in February 2018. 

Sarah’s country influences range from The Dixie Chicks to Brandy Clark to Johnny Cash with the vocal sounds of Jewel, which comes across on her second EP, Watered Down Whiskey. Scotty Schultz of Raindrop Music, LLC stated that, “she is a driven woman who deserves to be heard,” and the stories will definitely be heard. 

One of the tracks on the EP includes the song “Radio Static” that was co-written with Johnny Garcia (lead guitar for Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood). Over time, Sarah began writing and working with Johnny, which evolved to the point where Sarah would sign her next publishing deal with Busy at Play Publishing (Johnny Garcia’s company) in February 2020. During 2020, she released single, "Put a Rock on This Rolling Stone", which led to her new album, Whiskey History, in February 2022.  She released a philanthropic single, "Blue Ribbon", in March 2023 that honors her mother's fight against Colon Cancer, and benefitted the Colorectal Cancer Alliance for Colorectal Cancer Awareness month. Her latest album, Outside the Lines, was released in August 2023 with Harralson being a producer on many of the songs. Harralson's music has charted 26 times on iTunes and has had nominations for the World Songwriting Awards, Josie Awards, and International Singer-Songwriters Association Awards. 

In May 2024, she signed a multi-year publishing and record label deal with Synapse Publishing & Entertainment, a woman owned company. Sarah is also currently working with Synapse on a new documentary titled, Women Behind the Lyrics. 

You can find her playing local shows in Nashville when she is not out of town. Her stage credibility includes opening for the likes of Aaron Tippin, Bucky Covington, and also included on festival rosters with Jason Aldean and Old Dominion as headliners. She made her debut at The Bluebird Cafe in 2019 and has also played on stages such as The Analog in Nashville, Ole Red, The Listening Room, and the Gibson Stage on Today in Nashville on WSMV4. She has played corporate events such as the Subaru Conference at Music City Center and the Sherwin Williams trade show at Gaylord Opryland. Besides performing, Sarah also produces music herself and decided to release a collaborative album, West of Me, with co-writer Christine Bauer in early 2019 that she self-produced. Her song "Get Lost in Some Rock 'n Roll" was featured on the Norwegian show, Norge Bak Fasaden, in 2021, and her song, "Slow Me Down" was featured in a Google Ireland ad in 2022. In 2023, her song “Creature of Habit” was featured on the Hulu TV show, Living for the Dead. You can also hire her to write and record a song for you or your loved one through websites, SoundBetter, AirGigs or Fiverr. Sarah is also a voiceover artist and was the narrator of 'You Belong With Me' on Pocket FM from 2020-2022. Her music has been featured on billboards in Times Square in New York and Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. 

Besides writing her own material, she has also co-written songs cut by other artists such as "Tennessee" by Whippoorwill, "Thirsty" by Natalia Soul, and "It'll Be Alright" by Rob Murphy to name a few. In 2020, her song, "Angels on Broadway", written with James Tristan Redding won the Kyle Walz Songwriting Contest. In June 2021, she was invited to be a voting member of The Recording Academy as a vocalist and songwriter. She was hired to sing on an English version of the Bulgarian hit, "Hello, My Friend" with Barney Esville, and it reached #15 on the Hot Disc UK country chart in June 2023 and was featured on National Bulgarian outlets as well as praised by the U.S. Embassy. This led to her Eastern Europe tour in August 2023 where she played with an international symphony in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria on behalf of The America for Bulgaria Foundation. In 2024, she published her first children’s book, Turtle Tears, which is available for purchase on her website. She also started a podcast this year, Mind Your Music Business, where she interviews different people in the music industry. It is available on all podcast platforms. 

She also performs for patients at hospitals as a volunteer musician for Musicians On Call. In May 2024, she was awarded the Michael Solomon Volunteer Musician Award at Musician On Call's 25th anniversary for playing to over 19,000 hospital patients since 2015. Sarah hopes that her music will help people in some way across the world. She is a big believer that music heals and aims to present her music in a way that is relatable for others and can heal any open wounds.
