SHENANDOAH
When Mike McGuire and guitarist Jim Seales started a band in the clubs of Muscle Shoals, Alabama in 1984 they never dreamed their dedication to great music would lead them down such a long and illustrious road. By late 1985 they had added bassist Ralph Ezell, keyboardist Stan Thorn, and a struggling bluegrass singer named Marty Raybon to the mix and were confident they had the winning combination they'd been looking for, and the Grammy award winning group Shenandoah was born.
Within their first two years on CBS records, the band scored 5 number one records including "Church on Cumberland Road", "Sunday in the South", and "Next to You Next to Me". But after a lengthy legal battle over the name 'Shenandoah' they moved to RCA records. In no time at all they hit again with 4 more number ones including "If Bubba Can Dance" and the heartfelt "I Want to Be Loved Like That." In 1996 the band was lured by music legend Jimmy Bowen to Capitol Records and it was during this period that Shenandoah's live shows took on an exciting new dimension and the band produced more chart toppers like "Janie Baker's Love Slave", and the Grammy award winner, "Somewhere In The Vicinity of the Heart".
Some acts would have played it safe after establishing themselves as a successful country "Supergroup" and winning CMA awards, TNN and ACM group of the year accolades, and the much coveted Grammy, but not these guys. With thirteen number one songs, countless chart hits, Gold albums, and a reputation as one of the hardest working touring acts in the business, this band is still evolving, taking chances, and striving for the musical perfection and performance that have made them radio and concert favorites around the country.
There's a new buzz on music row in Nashville these days and the buzz is;
"SHENANDOAH IS BACK, AND BETTER THAN EVER!"
