Mitch Goudy
Mitch is a small town boy from a close-knit rural Iowa family that has burst onto the regional
music scene. Every time he picks up his guitar and starts to sing you know that this guy not
only has the roots for authentic country music, but the heart to back it up.
Hailing from the cornfields of southeast Iowa, Mitch grew up surrounded by a sense of pride
about who he is, what he believes, and how he rolls. His interest in country music started
when he first picked up a guitar after suffering a traumatic knee injury that would forever
limit his ability to play sports. His dad bought him that first guitar, put it in his hands, and said
“Let’s see what you can do.” At that moment Mitch found his passion.

Lauren Davidson
Lauren Davidson is a New York City based singer-songwriter with a unique and powerful
voice. Performing professionally since the age of 10, Lauren is a seasoned Entertainer who’s
presence and greatest joy is being on stage and sharing the music that she creates in collab-
oration with many of the finest musicians working today. Her influences fall across many
genres of music including Rock, Pop, Contemporary Country and Jazz. In addition to her
Solo Career, Lauren tours extensively as the Female Lead Singer with “Big Hix”, the number
1 contemporary country tribute band in the Northeast. She also recently co-wrote and
recorded a country-themed jingle for a NJ based Company that aired extensively on WK-
MK-Thunder106 Radio and covered the famed “Route 66” also staring in the accompanying
music video for the TV Show “Corvette Nation” airing on Disney’s The Velocity Channel.
Lauren is currently working on her first LP of original songs and will be releasing new music
on a regular basis.

Fresh Finds
Shane McNulty
Shane McNulty is what country music stands for. Farming during daylight hours, playing bars
up and down the Ottawa Valley until the wee hours of the morning, while still finding time to
write. In song he expresses the trials and tribulations that wind in and out of his life. Shane’s
new cd Cold Beer N Barbwire sums all of that up. The CD blends twelve songs of true to life
experiences that touches home to all of us. Cold Beer N Barbwire is Shane McNulty’s second
released cd. His first release was a self titled and self promoted EP that received local and
international airplay, making him a main stay on the local BDS station Y101 Country. The EP
also received airplay reports across Canada and throughout Europe, and charted in the top
30 on the Canadian country charts.
