On February 2nd, Shades of Raven joined Kate in the studio to tell us some exciting news! The Somerset-based hard rock group consists of Cody Taylor on lead vocals, Jared Taylor on guitar and vocals, Dylan Warren on bass, and Cody Mote on drums. Although only Cody and Jared are actually relatives, all four members share a strong brotherly bond that shines through their music. Their dynamic energy, chemistry, mutual respect, and dedication to their craft have led them to produce exceptional songwriting and electric performances. During our interview, they showcased several impressive songs released in the past few years, like Polarity and Temptation that you can find where anywhere music is streamed.

However, they also revealed that they will soon be heading back to a studio to record in Nashville with fresh material and sounds. As always, Shades of Raven has always captivated their audience but prepare to be blown away by something new and exciting coming soon!

Mark said voters cannot change their political party affiliation now if they want to vote in May, but people can still register to vote.

Hailing from Somerset, Kentucky, he's a singer-songwriter who recently released an album and treated us to some of these new tracks during his appearance. Along with his great sense of humor, what impressed us most was his profound connection to life and the love he has for his family, which shone brightly during our interview. 3 of the songs he debuted were dedicated to his lovely wife, Monica. When asked for advice on overcoming adversity related to negative beliefs in oneself, Chris shared some valuable wisdom that even Kate joked "Chris just took us to church!" His passion for music is evident and his unique style and clever lyrics make for an entertaining and enjoyable experience.
