An outspoken patriot, beloved mentor to young artists and still a road warrior at age 80, Charlie has parlayed his passion for music into a multi-platinum career and a platform to support the military, underprivileged children and others in need. Raised among the longleaf pines of North Carolina, Charlie began his career playing bluegrass music with the Misty Mountain Boys. After moving to Nashville in 1967, he began making a name for himself as a songwriter, session musician and producer. Elvis Presley recorded a tune Charlie co-wrote titled “It Hurts Me,” which was released on the flip side of “Kissin’ Cousins.” He played on such landmark albums as Bob Dylan’s Nashville Skyline and tried his hand at producing the Youngbloods’ Elephant Mountain and Ride the Wind. His own unique voice as an artist emerged as Charlie recorded his self-titled solo album in 1970 for Capitol Records. Two years later he formed the Charlie Daniels Band and the group scored its first hit with the top ten “Uneasy Rider.” Since then the CDB has populated radio with such memorable hits as “Long Haired Country Boy,” “The South’s Gonna Do It Again,” “In America,” “The Legend of Wooley Swamp” and of course, his signature song, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” which won a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group in 1979 as well as single of the year at the Country Music Association Awards.

  • It Was Important to Our Parents That We Learned About Responsibility, And

In the Curb household, it was her parents’ compassion that left the biggest impression on their youngest daughter, Courtney. “My sister and I were not sure about the move to Nashville, but Dad finally convinced us by promising to bring our two dogs and two horses with the promise of more animal additions in the future,” Courtney says. “We even snuck a frog in an aquarium onto the plane, as well as a cockatiel that chirped through the whole flight from LA.” But it was the horses – feeding them in the cold at 6:30 in the morning – that began to drive home some life Ylessons for the girls. “We had grown up in LA, where we didn’t have 20-degree mornings, so that was a bit of a shock to the system,” says Courtney. “But it was important to our parents that we learned about responsibility, and that we shared their love for caring for animals.” The Curb ranch in Thousand Oaks, California, had been a weekend getaway, and the girls were able to ride horses, feed the sheep and goats, raise baby ducklings and play with the rescue dogs. Shortly after the move to Nashville, the Curbs’ two dogs turned into six, and the family home has continued to serve as a shelter for rescue dogs and fosters for which Courtney finds new homes.

  • Richard Sterban, “I Was a Fan of the Oaks Before I Became a Member
    A Piece of History Theirs is one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. The four-part harmonies and upbeat songs of The Oak Ridge Boys have spawned dozens of Country hits and a Number One Pop smash, earned them Grammy, Dove, CMA, and ACM awards and garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. Every time they step before an audience, the Oaks bring four decades of charted singles, and 50 years of tradition, to a stage show widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. And each remains as enthusiastic about the process as they have ever been. “When I go on stage, I get the same feeling I had the first time I sang with The Oak Ridge Boys,” says lead singer Duane Allen. “This is the only job I've ever wanted to have.” “Like everyone else in the group,” adds bass singer extraordinaire, Richard Sterban, “I was a fan of the Oaks before I became a member. I’m still a fan of the group today. Being in The Oak Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.” The two, along with tenor Joe Bonsall and baritone William Lee Golden, comprise one of Country's truly legendary acts. Their string of hits includes the Country-Pop chart-topper Elvira, as well as Bobbie Sue, Dream On, Thank God For Kids, American Made, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes, Fancy Free, Gonna Take A Lot Of River and many others. In 2009, they covered a White Stripes song, receiving accolades from Rock reviewers.
