There is an incredible
new country music group in America. Caroline Cutbirth, Jennifer
Wayne, and Tayla Lynn are STEALING ANGELS. Their
legendary producer Paul Worley (Dixie Chicks, Martina, Lady A, etc.)
calls them “lightning in a bottle”. Each girl has an amazing story, and
how they came together is even more amazing.
Stealing Angels will be part
of an upcoming ABC special featuring country music artists scheduled to
air Nov 9 before the CMA's on Nov 11th.
Caroline Cutbirth is a strikingly beautiful
Waco, Texas native with an even more beautiful voice who graduated from
Belmont University in Nashville with dreams of becoming a country star.
“There was so much that I didn’t know about the music business when I
got to Nashville” she recalls. Despite her extraordinary talent, when
she first arrived in Music City she was frustrated. “I thought I was
just another blonde singer. I didn’t know how to get into the business
in a way that would make me stand out.” She soon found some help,
however. She met Jennifer Wayne.
Jennifer Wayne’s
grandfather was John Wayne. She was born in and around Hollywood,
but she always had her heart set on singing country music. “I knew I
could sing.. Everybody said I had a great voice, but at first I didn’t
think I would ever do anything with it, because tennis was my thing.”
Jennifer was a nationally ranked player from childhood. She changed her
mind about singing professionally after one of John Wayne’s best
friends, Merv Griffin, heard her and started a record label just for
her. She moved to Nashville and began recording, but before things could
really get going Merv passed away and the label was dissolved. But Jen
had met her future: Caroline was the second person

she met in Music City and soon the two had gone from being great friends
to great musical collaborators. Jennifer had an idea to do a reality
show based on three aspiring female country music singers who are
descendants of famous folks. (Daniel Boone was Caroline’s long lost
relative.) They needed a third person for the show idea, and that’s when
they were introduced to Tayla Lynn.
Tayla Lynn, from
Franklin, Tennessee, is Loretta Lynn’s granddaughter. One look at
the fireworks she creates onstage and you’ll know that the apple didn’t
fall far from the tree. She was crawling around Loretta’s bus before she
could walk. “I can’t remember a time that I wasn’t in the wings in some
town somewhere watchin’ my “me-maw” and my daddy on stage”. “I’ve never
wanted anything other than to be a singer and a performer”. At first
Caroline, Jennifer and Tayla agreed to perform in concert together, but
strictly as three solo singers. They soon began singing harmonies to one
another’s songs on stage, and discovered the power and natural chemistry
they had together. One day after a show someone close to one of them
said “honey, you’ve always had a guardian angel watchin’ over you, but
when I heard you with those other two girls; I know you must’ve been
STEALING ANGELS!”
They are currently in
the studio with Paul Worley and the Skyline team working on their first
recording. Several cable networks have expressed interest in Jennifer
Wayne’s TV idea, but the girls may be too busy playing in a city near
you to stop any time soon.. When you see and hear them, you’ll
understand what all the fuss is about: STEALING ANGELS will have
you heading straight for country music heaven! |
