  • Bio

    By any measure, Gloriana has become one of country music’s hottest young artists. Critics have raved about their sound, with Billboard calling them "a sonic delight" and People predicting they are "destined for glory." Their peers have embraced them, with Taylor Swift calling on the four-member group to open her Fearless 2009 and 2010 tour, and Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson, LeAnn Rimes and the Zac Brown Band all choosing them for opening slots last year. In addition, they have appeared on Access Hollywood , Good Morning America, Sirius/XM, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Today Show, to name a few. On the cusp of the band’s Top 10 debut single “Wild At Heart,” they have won the fan-voted 2010 ACM award for “Top New Vocal Group of the Year” and the “Nationwide On Your Side Award” at the 2009 CMT Awards. The band is currently working on new music for their next album set for release next year. .... The ultimate key to any artist's success lies with the fans, and it's the fans who helped make Gloriana one of 2009’s hottest new artists in country music and the Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the 2009 American Music Awards in November beating out Lady GaGa, Kid Cudi and Keri Hilson. Gloriana's self-titled Emblem Music Group/Warner Bros. Records debut premiered at #3 on Billboard's Top 200 and at #2 on the Billboard Country Album Chart. The album had the best first-week sales of any new country artist in 2009, and "Wild At Heart" is the best-selling song by a new country artist in 2009, selling over 375,000 copies to date. The breadth and diversity of their appeal can be seen in the fact that they have appeared both on the Grand Ole Opry and in the pages of several magazines aimed at teens, with Rachel and Cheyenne appearing on the cover of Justine magazine. .... Tom Gossin, Mike Gossin, Rachel Reinert and Cheyenne Kimball perfectly captured the soaring four-part harmonies that have led to comparisons with the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac and gave fans a taste for the sheer excitement Gloriana brings to songs whether on stage or in the studio. The 13-track album was produced by Grammy Award-winner and Emblem Music Group label owner Matt Serletic (Rob Thomas, Willie Nelson, Aerosmith), and mixed by Justin Niebank (Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts) and Chris Lord-Alge (Faith Hill, Tim McGraw). It reflects both the sheer talent of the foursome and the level of commitment they have brought to making every note count. .... That talent and that commitment have been winning Gloriana supporters virtually since the beginning. The band got its start in the winter of 2007, when brothers Tom and Mike, who had moved to Nashville after sweating it out in clubs in North Carolina, discovered Rachel. .... "We had never combined our duo with a female voice before," says Mike, "but singing with her gave us that high harmony and opened us up to something new.” .... It wasn’t long after seeing the group perform at 3rd and Lindsley that Cheyenne fell in love with Gloriana. “When I saw them perform for the first time, it renewed my passion for music,” said Cheyenne. So immediately after the show, she asked the trio if she could get together with them and jam. When they did, it was magic. .... "The three of us definitely felt we had something special," says Rachel, "but when Cheyenne came into the picture, the four-part harmony completed us. Her skills on the mandolin, combined with the guys’ guitar talent helped us to replicate the group’s live sound. It felt complete.” .... From that point on, commitment was everything. "We spent the next six months getting our songs and our live sound together," says Tom. "We accomplished a lot, working non-stop, playing shows, making sure we were tight and ready to go." The band sent a demo to Emblem Music Group, an evolution of Melisma Records, Serletic’s Diamond and multi-Platinum award-winning label, with over 50 million album sales to its credit. .... An intense creative process got underway. “Emblem helped to introduce us to some of the best that Nashville has to offer,” says Rachel. In the early stages of the album’s development, Serletic began writing with one of Nashville’s finest songwriters, Jeffrey Steele (Rascal Flatts, Trace Adkins, Tim McGraw, etc.) and co-wrote the group’s debut single “Wild At Heart” with Josh Kear and Stephanie Bentley. At the same time, Gloriana was collaborating with a talented array of Nashville songwriters including Trey Bruce, Kyle Cook, Ben Glover, Chuck Jones, Kevin Kadish, Wayne Kirkpatrick, and Danny Myrick. .... The band members moved in together and secluded themselves to begin making their mark on the songs. “We spent an intense month putting our stamp on the songs," says Tom. "In our minds it’s critical; it’s what makes the music authentic, heartfelt and true.” .... One at a time, they worked up songs, and performed them before the best critics that any artist has…the fans. .... “Playing for a live audience helped us to know what worked and what didn’t work,” said Cheyenne. “It really was valuable to do that before entering the studio.” .... “By the time we went into the studio we knew exactly what we were doing and how we wanted the songs to sound,” adds Rachel. “Guess you could say that the fans helped us make this record.” .... That sense of assurance and the hard work they put in are evident in every track of their debut CD. The feels vary from “The Way It Goes” and the second radio single, “How Far Do You Wanna Go?,” which display the four-part harmonies, energy and big sound that make the group so exciting on stage, to “Lead Me On” and “All The Things (That Mean The Most),” songs whose passion and intimacy are undeniable. .... “I know how much music has impacted all of our lives,” said Tom. “It connects us all, it moves us and it can change a person,” added Mike. “We hope that our music will do that for others for a long time to come.” .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .................. ........................................ .. ........ .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .... .... ..
