Nashville Chicks with Hits

21 Mar Nashville Chicks with Hits

Sherrie Austin got her professional start opening for Johnny Cash in Australia at age 14. She remained active as a singer since her teens initially recording as one half of the duo Colourhaus, which also featured Phil Radford. After leaving Colourhaus, she recorded one album in her native Australia before moving to the United States. In the U.S., the actress/singer recorded four studio albums, and charted several singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. Her highest-charting single was the No. 18 “Streets of Heaven” in 2003. She has sold over 430,000 albums and 288,000 singles in her career.

For award-winning songwriter Kylie Sackley, it’s always been about the songs first. As a wunderkind performer in her birthplace of Australia, Kylie dazzled audiences with her authentic grasp of country, her gorgeously expressive vocals, and her electrifying stage presence. When she won Australia’s most prestigious country music talent search, Star Maker (Keith Urban was a previous winner), she made the fateful decision to go the route of being a professional songwriter, and she hasn’t looked back since. Like Sherrie, this Aussie moved to Nashville.

Alissa Moreno was born on a Navajo Indian Reservation in New Mexico and began playing violin at age two. As a teenager, she moved to Kona, Hawaii to spend time with her grandfather, Bob Moreno. An established musician, grandpa guided and encouraged his progeny as she developed her piano, guitar, and vocal skills. Over the following years, Alissa moved to Los Angeles and then Nashville to become an artist and a songwriter.
