Known for his fiddle playing, signature “bull rider” hat and belt buckle, Charlie Daniels is a music icon who has been performing for over 50 years. His style is an exhilarating mixture of rock, country, bluegrass, blues, and gospel. Daniel’s rebel anthems Long Haired Country Boy and The South's Gonna Do It propelled his 1975 collection Fire On the Mountain to Double Platinum status.

Daniels won a Grammy Award in 1979 for The Devil Went Down to Georgia and the following year, the song became a major crossover success on rock radio stations after its inclusion on the soundtrack for the hit movie Urban Cowboy. The song still receives regular airplay on classic rock and country stations. Charlie and The CDB have earned awards from the Gospel Music Association, the Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music.

Little River Band was formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1975 and went on to set a record by becoming the first band to have a Top 10 hit for six consecutive years. With worldwide album and CD sales now topping 30 million, Little River Band’s long list of hit singles include It's a Long Way There, Help Is on Its Way, Happy Anniversary, Reminiscing, Lady, Cool Change, Lonesome Loser, The Night Owls, Take It Easy On Me, Man On Your Mind, We Two, and The Other Guy.
