Hey y’all, my name is Lindsi Rian! Originally from Arizona, now living in gorgeous north Georgia, I’ve had the opportunity to explore the country and live in a number of places over the years. This has allowed me to meet some incredible people and expand my network in amazing ways! I’ve been involved with music for a handful of years, from teaching line dancing and booking acts for venues to current manager for country rock recording artist, Trey Odum. I love this industry, from those who work in it to the fans, and wouldn’t trade it for the world!

Hey, y’all! Bayli here - Colorado born and raised and loving it! My favorite places to be are either exploring the trails with my pup or at a Red Rocks concert. My parents raised us right, playing any and everything you could think of to fit in a massive CD book collection, all of which certainly kickstarted my lifelong love for music. As we all know, Melodies and Memories are surely connected, and I am excited to share some of those connections with you!

Hi Guys, I am Jennifer Ashlee from Chicago, IL. I saw my first concert, Alabama and Clint Black, at age 5 and have been hooked on country music ever since. I love every part of music from the live bands in bars to 80,000 people singing along at Nissan Stadium. I have been fortunate enough to have met so many wonderful people throughout my life by making friends with the people singing along in the stands. I love to sing along to anything from Keith Whitley, Cody Jinks, Sturgill Simpson, Ashley Mcbryde, and Eric Church, just to name a few. If you see me at a show, Come say Hi!

STAFF WRITER
Hi there! My name is Sarah Engemann. I was born and bred on the southside of Chicago. I was raised on classics like Elvis, Frank Sinatra, and Sam Cooke. I discovered my love of country music when I was 5 years old dancing to Shania Twain, Kenny Chesney, and Garth Brooks. My first concert was Country Thunder in Wisconsin when I was 8 and I've been a concert addict ever since. You will often find me in the front row at a show around Chicago Ugly singing my heart out. I will gladly talk country music with anyone that will listen and I am excited to share my experiences with you all!
