Charley Stefl
Originally from the great state of Texas, Charley Stefl moved to Nashville in 1984 to follow the footsteps of his heroes Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark and write songs. He has held staff songwriter positions at Major Bob and Bluewater Music Publishing, and has had his songs recorded in many genres of music, including country, bluegrass, gospel, rock and Americana. Charley co-wrote Lee Ann Womack’s break through smash, and SESAC’s Country Song of the year, THE FOOL. His songs have also been recorded by Garth Brooks, George Jones, Marshall Tucker Band, and the two-time Grammy nominated bluegrass group, The Grascals, and many more.
Marla Cannon-Goodman
Many people dream of becoming a songwriter. Marla Cannon-Goodman got her first publishing deal because a friend of hers had a dream about her.
“It’s true,” says Marla. “Lana Thrasher works for Major Bob Music. One day she calls me up and asks me if I want to write for them. She’d had a dream that we were standing onstage getting and ASCAP award.” Odd as it seems, not too many months after that dream, Marla collected her first ASCAP award for “The Fool,” a number 1 record co-written with Gene Ellsworth and Charley Stefl and recorded by Lee Ann Womack. In 1998 the song would be nominated for Song of the Year by the Academy of Country Music.
Her career has continued to accelerate, with cuts ranging from Eddie Arnold to Susan Ashton. RCA recording artist Tracy Byrd took Marla’s song “Ten Rounds With Jose Cuervo” to #1. Marla continues to work with upcoming artists Billy Currington on Mercury Records and Roxy Dean on Dreamworks Records. Given her history, it’s not surprising that Marla is beginning to think that there must be something in dreams after all.
