Born n' Bred

U.S.A. signed and recording Australian Band Born n’ Bred has been labelled by many, including Steven B. Riley of CMG Records Nashville and Mark Mosley of Sound Control Recording Studios Nashville, as “Red Dirt”. This genre of music, originating in Texas and Oklahoma, is commonly described as ‘Music with attitude’, and is often considered to be a style that closes the gap between Rock and Country. Born n’ Bred were signed to CMG Records Nashville in April 2012 and their debut CD, consisting of 10 original songs, echoes this sentiment yet still has an authentic Australian flavour. Their originality, hard driving rhythms and down to earth lyrics, attributed to them charting on American Radio Direct Charts at # 21 with their first single ‘Someday’.

Born n’ Bred consists of five members, including Paul Colyvan (Redline), Michael Davis (Deck Chairs Overboard), Glenda Bancell (The Crybabies), Steve Perrett (The Blackhill Ramblers) and Nick Economou (The Lost Jackets). All members are seasoned performers who have played pubs, rodeos, festivals and large scale arenas in Australia and the U.S. Although it is hard to compare their unique sound to another Band, it has been said that Born n’ Bred can be likened to Steve Earle, The Waco Brothers and Billy J Shaver. People in the industry have also used the phrase when describing Born n’ Bred as “The Clash doing Johnny Cash”.

Born n’ Bred and CMG Records Nashville, believe their product is worth backing. Nashville well known music industry personality Gordy Collins stated that “After several decades ( I won't say just how many) in the Music and entertainment business, in this town (Nashville Tennessee) and others, I can say it's not often that I get to become part of a project that I feel this good about! And be proud of! I have never met people that are more BORN N' BRED....to do what they do, and do it so well!” Lynn Bryant, Nashville recording artist states that “It was an honour and a privilege to work with Born n’ Bred. They are the epitome of RED DIRT Music.”
