Turn It Up! w/ Singer Songwriter Saddle Brown

SADDLE BROWN, hailing from Lincolnton, NC, grew up enmeshed in Country (the music and the lifestyle).  Over the years, he became a regular part of the house band at Yesteryears in Charlotte, NC. He also appeared several times as a special guest on the Ken Linker Variety Televised Showcase. His poise and charisma in front of the camera even earned him a spot as co-host of the show for a year. SADDLE entered the Queen City Talent Search at Cricket Arena in Charlotte, NC. By the time he'd watched the first 58 contestants rap, he realized that he might have signed up for the wrong competition! Walking onto the stage wearing a cowboy hat, the hip-hop crowd started laughing. It didn't get much better when his backing CD started skipping. SADDLE kept going, saying, "I guess the sound system's only set up for rap. That's okay, I don't need it. He launched into an a cappella reading of Tim McGraw's "Angry All the Time". The crowd loved it. He ended up taking first place and the $10,000 check. But that's just SADDLE BROWN. Nothing stops this guy! On his first visit to Nashville a few months ago, SADDLE walked into Opry Mills during the Traveling Music Television National Connection Talent Show. He entered completely unprepared, and ended up taking first place in the semi-final round. I suppose that's what prompted his move to Nashville. He landed his first showcase just one month after arriving. A top of the charts producer, attended, and was instantly converted into a rabid SADDLE supporter. SADDLE's recently completed his first CD on Music Row, writing and singing all of his own material, and has an impressive catalog of over 300 songs.
