Victoria Venier
While she is originally from historic Dixon, Illinois, Victoria now calls Nashville "home". After graduating Millikin University in Commercial Music, she began further pursuing her dreams of becoming a singer/songwriter. In addition to touring the country with many different shows and bands, she has been a featured artist on the stages of many of Nashville's hottest music clubs, including the world renowned Bluebird Café. She has been a guest on the Grand Ole Opry and has been a background vocalist for artists such as Sandi Patti, Loretta Lynn, Joe Diffie and Brenda Lee. She has three cuts on the critically acclaimed work "This Is My America" and some of her most recent work "Back To You" landed her on the Grammy-nominated album The Standard by Take 6.
Bill Whyte
Bill's unique presentation of funny and twisted songs makes him a favorite everywhere he entertains. Whether he's picking on pseudo-celebrities in his song "Celebutard" or wondering how much he could get away with in "If I Had Boobs", he leaves the audience in stitches. His tribute to AARP "Retired" was recorded by Ray Stevens and is always a crowd favorite. "I'm Goin' Ugly Early Tonight" was recorded by Cledus T. Judd and is the perfect howling climax to for any show. However, there's also a serious side to his writing that has landed him cuts with Keith Anderson, Craig Morgan, Linda Davis, Brady Seals and Joe Nichols. Bill also just happens to have had a very successful career as popular radio personality, winning numerous broadcast awards including the CMA "Broadcast Personality of the Year". You can also find his name in the Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
