About me:
My hometown is Resaca, Georgia. I grew up on Chitwood Farm, a square mile of meadowed and wooded hills that was once the site of a major Civil War battle. My parents had and have really good taste in music. They cared for me and my brothers and are still together. Dad writes songs and taught me my first guitar chords.
I've been constantly writing songs since I was twelve. I'm 27 now and live in Nashville, TN. My favorite instruments to play are guitar, bass, piano, organ and banjo. I make noise with all kinds of things, such as melodica, leaves and springdrum when I'm recording. I sing and play guitar in The Medders, and currently play bass and sing backup in two other bands: Annie Williams and The Nobility.
I've produced and/or engineered projects by Red Shepherd, Ben Schofield, Dangermuffin, Danielle Lauderdale, Jule Medders, India Galyean, Dave McCormick, Annie Williams, Fancy Dan, Raimah, and many country demos. I'm fortunate enough to have access to a wonderful studio in Green Hills, and if you're interested in recording, let's talk! Contact me at cheyennemedders@gmail.com (I rarely check myspace).

well, it has been a long and winding road, and an even longer time coming, but my debut CD, I Remember, is FINALLY HERE!!! YAY!!!!!
to celebrate, American HeartBeat Records(tm) has arranged a FREE DOWNLOAD of Now Is The Time in exchange for a valid email address. Now Is The Time is a brand new, upbeat song I wrote: we are living in turbulent times. suddenly it is okay to be greedy and heartless? no way! a song of hope for our future, a new vision of America and the world.
we have a bunch of exciting things planned to kick this whole thing off, and we need to get a better picture of who our friends are, so the FREE DOWNLOAD form will ask you a few questions, like, what is your country and nearest major city. it all takes maybe 15 seconds.
