Bio

Mississippi meets Memphis in this friendly self-proclaimed “Good-Times” girl! Growing up in northeast Mississippi and transplanted to the heart of Memphis, one thing’s for sure, she is 100% country! Senior Director of A&R for Universal Music Group, Joe Fisher praises April’s One Long Friday Night, calling it “REALLY REALLY good!” Memphis’s most sought after Professional Vocalist/Vocal Coach and professional songwriter Susan Marshall declares, “Great tone, great pitch, great songs!” April is known for balancing a free-spirited quirk with heart-tugging life themes. Her refreshingly unique style appeals to the senses, thrusting the listener onto a musical journey – wholesome enough for even the most conservative – but engaging enough to intrigue all who have the privilege of coming along for the ride!

Every bit as sweet as she sounds, most compare her vocals to a sugary blend of Miranda Lambert's drawl and a touch of Alison Krauss's texture. Creating a signature sound Sheree Spoltore, Executive Membership Director for Nashville Songwriters Association International, simply calls, “Beautiful.” Stylistically, April feels right at home somewhere between Miranda's Lambert's Revolution album and Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. A rarity, April knows exactly who she is as an artist and a writer, and it’s obvious in her consistently one-of-a-kind lyrics and performances.

Universally relevant messages and delightful performances make her a crowd pleaser everywhere she graces – always invited back! Some formerly Christian-only music listeners are crediting April for turning them onto her gracious yet clever country music. One reason, as Mike Doyle VP of Major Bob Music in Nashville, forthrightly states, “The girl can write!” Brad Kernnard, General Manager of Song Garden Music Publishing, compliments April’s writing style and gift for imagery to current pro-writing sensation Lori McKenna.
Things are moving quickly for April, who is currently releasing her first 7 song country EP entitled His Love's Like A Small Town. The first 5 tracks were recorded with Producer and Hit Songwriter Danny Wells (George Strait – Check Yes or No; Rascal Flats – These Days, While You Loved Me and Everyday Love; Craig Morgan – Little Bit of Life). By fan request, two additional tracks, "Little Pink Ribbon" and "Your Mama Prays" have been included in the collection. "Little Pink Ribbon", a song written from stories submitted by breast cancer victims and their families, received play from almost every state in the nation, as well as 7 other countries in only two short weeks after it's release. The album concludes with the tender Scripture-filled lullaby written for her daughter, Georgia-Claire, aptly called "Your Mama Prays."

In light of the recent natural disasters striking the Mid-South she calls home, April has decided to release the EP giving a portion to the American Red Cross aiding the Disaster Relief efforts. Your support is received with tremendous gratitude!
