As a singer/songwriter, her songs come honestly growing through the lens of her prairie roots, her friends, family and faith.

Bentley recognized Lewans' talent when they spoke before the show and, much to her delight, invited Catherine to perform "Long Trip Alone" as part of his encore.

Jesse Bryant
Jesse Bryant is no stranger to a bar room brawl or the bottom of a shot glass...multiple ones actually. He was weaned on Willie, Cash, Jones, Haggard, Jennings, and Hank Sr. -all outlaws. Coe's another hero, and judging solely by tattoos, they could be kin. Jesse Bryant is exactly the kind of kick in the teeth act the country music biz needs-real, unrelenting, unforgiving, and unapologetic. Bryant released a new single, "Honky Tonkin' In My Veins" in January and a radio tour will follow.
Outlaw, redneck, one of a kind, this coal miner's son grew up in rural Logan County West Virginia, joining his dad in the mines by age fifteen. It is this hard working, meek, rough-shed man that has used music as his refuge from long days and less than humble surroundings. Any free time he had in his early teens was spent weaving poetry into songs and playing bass in his father's gospel band. "The gospel never leaves you. It's present in all the country music I write today. There's not enough of that in music now," Bryant Laments.
Bryant's songwriting has always been a raw reflection of his life. The songs are anthems of the workingman, a down-home country boy who does what is necessary to get by. The storytelling is only a portion of his art. "I play bass, rhythm guitar and drums-all self-taught. I still can't read sheet music, though. That's how you did it back home, listened to the tape and then played it," Bryant states. That southern since ability in his music is complemented by the coarse outlaw that developed just as naturally. Listening to formative outlaws and idols, Bryant developed his mantra on music, basic and honest is always best. With that, he played every dance hall and hole in the wall that wouldn't kick him out. "I've definitely played behind chicken wire before," Bryant says. He did everything he could to get by in Logan County as his life became a string of honkytonks and sad songs. Bud in 1987, jobs got scarce and Bryant packed up for Greensboro, NC where he still resides today. He is gearing up for his single release, "Honky-Tonk' In My Veins" so get ready....Don't say we didn't warn you
