FEATURED ARTISTS
Bill Luther
Singer songwriter Bill Luther was born in Virginia and raised in Pennsylvania. After high school, he met and married wife, Michelle. They started their family and decided to move to Nashville for Bill to pursue a songwriting career. It was 1988, and Bill started making friends and learning the ins and outs of the country music industry. He felt that it was like climbing a mountain or comparable to 10 years of going to school. And just when Bill and Michelle were ready to give up, lightning struck, and things changed. Bill has since written songs with many great songwriters. He has co-written several hits recorded by Tim McGraw, including “Let It Go,” “How Bad Do You Want It,” and McGraw’s Grammy award-winning duet with Faith Hill, “Let’s Make Love.” Luther has also co-written Kenny Chesney’s Top 5 hit “Who You’d Be Today” and Top 10 “What I Need to Do,” in addition to songs for Joe Nichols, Jo Dee Messina, Clint Black, Lee Ann Womack, Lee Greenwood, and many more.
Marv Green
MARV GREEN is a Grammy nominated singer songwriter. Marv captured his first number-one hit, “True”, recorded by George Strait in 1998. The following year he scored his second number-one with “Amazed” recorded by Lonestar. “Amazed” spent a record breaking eight weeks at number one on Billboard. Green was honored by BMI with their Song Of The Year Award in 2000. Green was awarded the BMI Songwriter Of The Year in 2001. Marv also claimed the ACM Song Of The Year for “Amazed” as well as a Grammy nomination. Green collected his third number-one song with “It Just Comes Natural” recorded by George Strait and his fourth number-one with the Carrie Underwood single “Wasted”. His single with Brooks And Dunn titled “Proud Of The House We Built” went top 5. Rodney Atkins took his song “Farmer’s Daughter” to the top 5. Marv co-wrote “Creepin” by Eric Church. He also has had two songs placed in the “Nashville” TV show with “Wrong Song” (featuring Connie Britton And Hayden Panettiere) and “Trouble Is” (feat. Hayden Panettiere).
