Kimberlie Helton is a singer/songwriter born in the home of the blues... Memphis, TN. Although her 2014 album, “Gossip” is country, you can hear the soulful, bluesy influence in her voice when she covers some of her favorites, including an often-requested Susan Tedeschi's, "Hurts So Bad."
Helton has enjoyed entertaining tourists from around the world On Broadway in Nashville and on Beale St. in Memphis Tennessee. However, she most enjoys the relationships she has made with her fan base around the southwest in AL, AR, MS, KY, TN and MO.
Since forming the Kimberlie Helton Band in July of 2009, she has been blessed with opportunities to work with the last standing member of the Johnny Cash band, W.S. Holland, and open for many Grand Ole Opry Legends, including Jim Ed Brown, Jeannie Seely, and T. Graham Brown.
She has also opened for country music artists Randy Houser, The Band Perry, Kellie Pickler, Little Texas and Joe Diffey.
Emily McGill is a West Tennessee native coming from Humboldt Tennessee. She grew up singing with her family Paula Bridges McGill, Chuck McGill and Katie McGill in a family band.
Music has always been near to her heart so when she had the opportunity to sign a record deal in 2021, she moved to Nashville where she began writing and recording for legendary guitar player and Blues Brother Steve Cropper.
Since then, she has put an album out on all streaming platforms with her original songs and plans on putting more music out before the end of the year. In March of 2023, Emily also premiered an original song video on CMT.
She wants to thank everyone for supporting her and her family for all of these years and hopes you continue to enjoy her music for many years to come!
