Rhinestoned says it all. No other word, real or invented for the occasion, sums up as well where Pam Tillis stands now. She is, after all, a superstar as well as a survivor. A child of Music City royalty and a former rebel, she was determined to find her own way as a singer and songwriter - and she succeeded.

A CMA Female Vocalist of the Year, she has written songs for some of the top singers in and ... beyond Nashville, including more than a few of her own hits.

Fernando Varela

"America's Got Talent" Finalist

Imagine a three-year-old boy growing up in San Juan, Puerto Rico, imitating the musical acrobatics of the iconic Michael Jackson. Those melodious antics helped the young Fernando Varela develop a strong, tenor voice, paving the way for his discovery on YouTube by one of Jackson's producers, hit-maker and 16-time Grammy Award winner David Foster. Ultimately, Fernando won Foster's "Born to Sing" contest culminating in a guest appearance with David Foster and Friends at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas. Fernando's performance was reviewed as a show stopper and has been followed by numerous appearances, including the television show, "America's Got Talent," where Varela was one of the top-two finalists.

Al Simmons

One-man, Vaudeville variety show

Vaudeville's half-century run of popularity may have died back in the 1940's, but don't try to tell that to Simmons or the crowds of fans that have packed theatres across North America. From the tradition of the great comedy kings – Danny Kaye, Spike Jones and Jimmy Durante – comes Al Simmons, a man dedicated to the all but lost art of combining comedy with song, dance, magic, and sight-gags. The end result is a one-man variety show – old-fashioned, good-natured fun.
