Gloriana debuts Friday at Opry

Thursday, March 5, 2009 – Gloriana will make their Grand Ole Opry debut this Friday, March 6. Gloriana just released their single Wild At Heart, from their forthcoming debut album on Emblem Music Group.

"Performing at the Grand Ole Opry is really a dream come true for all four of us. We are so thankful and honored that at such an early point in our career we get to perform there," said vocalist and guitarist Mike Gossin.

"This is a big milestone for us as a group and we cannot wait to take the stage. It's going to be an amazing night," added mandolin player and vocalist Cheyenne Kimball.

Gloriana is in Nashville this week for their first Country Radio Seminar (CRS). The band performed at Music Row's 7th Annual CRS Meet & Greet and CountryBreakout Awards on Tuesday.

Gloriana formed when brothers Tom Gossin (27) and Mike Gossin (24) moved to Nashville in the winter of 2008 and began collaborating with Rachel Reinert (19) and Cheyenne Kimball (18). After a few inspiring jam sessions, a new country band was born. Their first recordings soon found their way to producer Matt Serletic, who brought the group to Emblem Music Group. Known for his work with Rob Thomas, Willie Nelson and Aerosmith, Serletic co-wrote and produced the band's debut. The grouop combines classic bluegrass with contemporary country music influences and four-part harmonies.

A few tweets later, the bridges were burned, right on the verge of this record's release. The bandmates went into revisionist mode, expunging all traces of their former ...
CD review - Gloriana It is interesting that Gloriana shares its name with a 1953 English opera, as they sound much the same --powerful, scripted and slightly overdramatic. The group's tight-knit harmonies are the crux of this 13-track album; they gorgeously weave and contrast strong 2-, 3- and 4-parts into almost every verse. Occasionally the group over sings, but then, they are fighting to be heard over layers of unneeded production. Given the ages of the foursome (teens to mid-20s), it's only natural ...
