POWERHOUSE VOCALIST, COUNTRY SWEETHEART

CARRIE CUNNINGHAM Overheard in the Newsroom: Carrie’s gonna be the next Shania Twain, but man did you hear her belt out Carmina Burana?” Carrie not only masters country, but people have watched her sing blues, jazz, and classical music and were equally blown away Not only is Carrie vocally talented, but she studied only the best performers growing up or her stage performance. As if mastering the craft of singing and performing isn’t enough, Carrie also runs the Portland/SW Wash Chapter of Nashville Songwriters Association International, where she teaches the craft of songwriting and the music business. In 2005, Carrie was signed to Divulge Records Recording Company where she released her first self penned album Honeysweet. Four of her songs charted the ECMA’s with “You lose this time” going number one in Belgium and #19 as the most played song for the ECMA’s in July 2008. Carrie just finished her self released EP “The Way You Look At Me” where she wrote some of the songs with Nashville’s best writers. Carrie’s biggest achievement came when she received a first place plaque for the Eagle’s National talent competition. When Carrie is not entertaining crowds of thousands, she volunteers in numerous elementary classes, is a lunch buddy and is also a CASA member helping abused and neglected children. Carrie has entertained along side Collective Soul, Jake Owen, Keith Anderson, Heidi Newfield, Christian Kane, The Bellamy Brothers, Mark Wills, Rich McCready, Sugarland, Diamond Rio, Restless Heart, Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, and Reba. Her community contributions have been established with Human Solutions, Susan G Komen, Abused Women Association, Vanished Children’s Alliance, and Red Cross to name a few. She has also produced a Nashville Flood Relief Benefit Concert.

KEVIN NEIL

Kevin Neil started playing guitar as a child and has never had the sense to stop. He has played gigs in Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and as far away as Toronto. Working in venues ranging from multi-million-dollar resort hotels to blue-collar bars to cruise ships and everything in between, Kevin has maintained a level of income sufficient enough to keep him from living in a van down by the river. His legendary performances have made him a perennial favorite at the local School For The Deaf. He has performed many styles of music with a wide variety of groups and also performs as a solo act. One comment that is often heard at his shows is,

"Kevin has a great face for radio." Highlights for him include performing with the Tacoma Symphony Orchestra and Stevie

Wonder. Kevin is also a songwriter and over the years his songs have yet

to become popular. Still waiting for his big break, Kevin says, "the biggest accomplishment of my career was getting hired by Carrie Cunningham and the Six

Shooters."

Hello, my name is Derek Boone. You remember me; the kid with the red stinging hands freshly swatted by the teachers wooden ruler. He said that I tapped on the desk too much. You know, the one sent from the classroom to the hallway for fidgeting too much. That's right... you are beginning to remember now. I wasn't the athlete either. All me and my pals wanted to do was hole up in somebody's basement and listen to Judas Priest. We'd learn every note, you know. I still fidget and I still tap, but I've also

travelled the globe, seen places and things that are the sweet reward of those years spent in the hallway blowing cold air onto the backs of my hands. I've shared the stage with the best and the worst of the lot. We all have a story to tell. The loner; the geek; the outcast. We're a proud bunch. I play drums for Carrie because I like her story. It's not the same as mine. It's not like anybody else I know. But it motivates her to put it all out there no matter what the cost. Her story is in her songs, like my story is in my drumming, and neither was ever meant to keep to ourselves.

Blaine Moody has been a fixture in NW music since the 70’s. Most notably with the band Seafood Mamma, later known as Quarterflash. That’s right, The NW favorite “Harden my Heart” group. He’s entertained fans of The Byrds, Jan& Dean, The

Thunderbirds, George Thorogood . In the late 90’s and throughout the new millennium Blaine has been taking his own personal message of oneness and faith to churches around the Northwest. When he’s not onstage with Carrie or hiking anywhere his feet take him, you can find him at Centers for Spiritual Living, Unity, and New Thought Churches on Sunday. His CD “ Holy Now” is filled with music of personal empowerment through faith in a power greater than ourselves.

Aliquam Quisque sed magna.

the MGs, The Little River Band and Taj Mahal, just to name a few. Gary’s incredible virtuosity and versatility never fails to wow audiences. From his epic version of Dire Straits’ Sultans of swing, to his foot-stomping fiddling on Orange Blossom Special and Devil Went Down to Georgia, Gary’s awe-inspiring performances will leave you wanting for more.

GUITAR, STEEL, FIDDLE, VOCALS

He’s the most wanted musician in the Northwest. Band leaders are often found in dark alleys bribing each each to not try and steal him for themselves.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Carrie Truly enjoys performing. She is extremely easy to work with, takes pride in providing a profesional performance and would be a great addition to any venue’s entertainment lineup.

Laurie Bothwell- Clackamas County Fair

From the outset of our relationship, your manager was professional, accurate and timely. In addition, your team met every deadline leading up to the event in remarkable fashion. media packets, phone calls and contracts correctly and perfectly making my job easy to manage. The performance on Saturday night was spectacular. The song list choices were well received and you clearly understood the audience’s preferences. Your fans also would not leave the arena until you signed autographs and talked to them, and you did, leaving them very happy and fulfilled.

Wes Brown -Josephine County Fair Carrie Cunningham and the Six Shooters were outstanding and well received at Confluence 2011- A Wine, Beer, Seafood, & Music Festival. The audience stayed on the dance floor with the rockin country that Carrie sang out. Carrie is a great singer with a beautiful voice, truly amazing. This is a band with low-maintenance requirements and a fantastic, great sound with the outstanding vocals of Carrie Cunningham.

Joe Mirvis -Reedsport/Winchester Bay Chamber of Commerce

Carrie has the only voice that can stop me in my tracks. The band is professional, very entertaining and funny. You never know what’s going to happen at a show. I drive up from California just to see them play! Bruce Ogden- Redding Rodeo, Ca.

Carrie, you and the band were awesome. This coronation was the largest in attendance ever! A lot of great comments were given about your

group. We would love to have you back next year.

Dave Wilson-St Paul Rodeo, Or

Carrie is wonderfully engaging and a very entertaining entertainer.

I definately want to have her back. Don Hanley- Vancouver Rodeo, Wa

Vivacious, magnetic singer songwriter will make a fan in less than two hours…High energy brand of down home country can range from bluegrass to alt country to western swing and keep people of all ages dancing

Washington Park Summer Concert Series

CCSS were a big hit at the Robin Hood Festival. I had several of our board members comment how much they enjoyed having you be part of

the festival. We will definitely be interested in inviting your band back. You guys did an awesome job. Please thank everyone again for a

terrific concert. Philip McGuigan-Sherwood Robin Hood Festival

The audience was thrilled, commenting to me on her voice and what a great show it was for the 4th of July. Carrie was able to share more of

her own personality, not just a cookie cutter of known and loved artists. The whole show was very accessible and personal. Every member of the

audience felt she was singing to them. Kristen Aspen- Tualatin Concert on the Commons Concert

PRESS REVIEWS

“At a pre-concert event at the Rose Garden in Portland, Ore., Cunningham immediately took command with her energy and beautiful vocal work. She captured the audience, performing acoustic versions of songs from her album, as well as a few cover songs. This talented vocalist performs many benefit concerts each year and will warm your heart. Keep your eyes and ears open for the fresh new voice of Carrie Cunningham.”

- Keith Robert Laurent-Positively Entertainment Magazine -

“5 out of 5! Wow! There is nothing more can I say!” - The Bald Guy Show - Music Review Podcast

“We’ll be spinning Carrie’s music for quite some time!”

The Country File- Havenstad - The Netherlands “Your lyrical writing rivals your amazing voice. Pure songs that leave some mystery and invoke distinct, vivid imagery. Keep up the Good Work”.

Brad Douma, KXLY News 4, Spokane, Wa “You sound a little like one of my favorite singers, Matraca Berg” Michele Michaels- 99.5 the Wolf “Carrie sounded GREAT!!!! I really like the music and you know I'm a Rocker, but she blew me away!” Billy Blast Drums, Orange, Ca “Carrie Cunningham couldn’t be any sweeter if she was raised on the “Happy Days” set by a TV Family of the same name. Like most overnight success stories, hers took many years of hard work, a few detours and a lot of homework.” The Weekly Volcano- Tacoma
