WOW! We've had a lot going on within our studio just this week and I just wanted to give a shout out to several students who have been and will be doing some incredible things this month! So much is happening right now for our artists! I'm very excited for you all! Please find them on social media and download their singles, which on all streaming platforms. 

Last weekend, Grace Sorensen, @realgraces - a recent graduate of Round Rock High School, opened up for the legendary, DIANA ROSS! (If you are young and don't know, Diana Ross was a member of the Supremes and she's a very popular singer/artist!)  She sang at COTA's concert benefitting a children's organization called the Austin Child Guidance Center, in Austin, and Grace opened for her! The Austin American Statesman wrote an article about it! Congrats, Grace, that's amazing!    

​

Parker Jensen, @parkerjensenmusic a young teen bluegrass musician, and his band will be performing two showcases at the IMBA-World of Bluegrass in September! This is a prestigious event and it's a huge deal for this young band!  They will play where many top artists, Grammy winners perform!  Congrats Parker!
