About Jim Brown: Jim Brown first got on stage to sing at the famous Nashville Palace when he was 19-years-old. He remembers how he felt looking at the audience and being nervous and excited all at the same time. Throughout his career, Jim has found the unique ability to share his life stories through his songwriting. Growing up listening to some of the rock n’ roll greats like Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top and Peter Frampton as well as Country legends like Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard, has molded the man Jim is today and the music he sings. Jim has recently released a 14 song album and is enjoying sharing the music of the talented individuals who contributed to his project.

About The Cains Trio: The Cains Trio is made up of sisters and brother, Taylor, Madison and Logan Cain. Born and raised in Hartselle, Ala., the trio is gearing up to release their debut album, Stay on Board, this September. Included on the album is their debut single “Be Yourself with Me,” a tender hearted tune about encouraging loved ones to take their guard down. The siblings, who have been singing and playing music together since they were kids, are not only singers and songwriters, but are multifaceted entertainers and musicians who play guitar, piano, bass, harmonica and more. In 2012, the trio opened for Dave Barnes at the Workplay Theater in Birmingham Ala. after winning a video contest.
