#TeamTelfairGA

Danny’s singing and playing career began at the early

age of nine years old when his father, a blues singer

and picker, fashioned his first guitar out of paneling

and old wire. Born and raised in the small rural com-

munity of Manor, GA just outside of Waycross,

Danny’s love of country music can be heard and felt

in the ballads that he strums and sings about.

His early career began as the lead singer for a famous

country band that toured Georgia and North Florida

during the late 80’s and 90’s, The Georgia Heartbeat.

During this time, Danny opened for country acts that

included Tanya Tucker, Ronnie Milsap, Sammy Ker-

shaw, Daron Norwood, David Allen Coe, B.J. Thom-

as, John Anderson, Mark Chestnut, Confederate Rail-

road and Tracey Lawrence to name a few. He has

also shared the stage singing alongside country music

greats Travis Tritt, Lee Roy Parnell and Waylon Jen-

nings. Danny had the pleasure of touring with the late

great legend Waylon Jennings After a hiatus of many

years from the stage, Danny decided to give it one

more shot thanks to his fiancée and manager. Since

2015, Danny has been touring and opening for such

acts as Ronnie Milsap, Sammy Kershaw and the band Exile as well as delivering some powerful performances

at festivals and events across Southeast Georgia and North Florida.

In January of this year, Danny's song "Why Can't I Have You" which is on his current CD, "Just a Dream"

was released on the Netflix hit show "The Ranch." The song was produced by Shooter Jennings and sang by

Julie Roberts. Danny will be returning to Nashville, Tennessee in April to record his second CD. Although

country music has changed through the years, Danny remains steadfast in his love of writing, singing and per-

forming true country music.

Kori is the 16 year old daughter of James and

Jeanie Spires of McRae. Kori attends Wheeler

County High School, where she is a sopho-

more. Kori has been singing ever since she

was a little girl, and was a member of the

Telfair County Elementary School Chorus.

By age 10, she began doing beauty pageants,

and taking dance classes with Bedazzled Per-

forming Arts Company. This helped Kori to

come out of her shell and become a better per-

former.

Later on, she was on the TV show "Kim of

Queens" and began taking vocal lessons from

Gloria's Studio of Voice. This helped Kori

find her voice, and discover what talent God

has given her.

Kori has traveled to Nashville, Tennessee and

performed many times. This past year, she

traveled with GSOV and competed in "NACAGMAI" in Pigeon Forge, where she won Female Vo-

calist of the Year. Since then, Kori has made many more trips to Nashville, and has also recorded her

"Remember My Name EP" at Hilltop Studios of Nashville. After high school, Kori wishes to move to

Nashville, TN and pursue her music.
