Amanda Hunt-Taylor
Amanda Hunt-Taylor has been a professional songwriter/session singer in Nashville for over two decades. Originally from Marietta, Georgia, this second generation songwriter grew up in the heart of the music business, on Music Row in Nashville, Tennessee. Here are only a few of the artists who have recorded Amanda’s songs through-out the years: Legendary Tanya Tucker, Ricochet, Greg Trooper, Rena Gaile *Canadian Artist*, Doug Supernaw, Michael English, as well as the pop icon Janis Ian. In 1994 Hunt-Taylor co-penned the number one HIT song Your Love Amazes Me—launching the career of Country Music Artist John Berry, which earned Hunt-Taylor a BMI award for One Million Airplays along with writer of the year and song of the year awards. After years of successfully writing songs for other artists, in 2000 Hunt-Taylor and husband, Rick Taylor (bassist/composer), successfully launched their own record label AmandaRick Records, and garnered chart success with Amanda’s debut CD, Only When I Breathe, via her version of Your Love Amazes Me. In 2003, Amanda and Rick successfully launched their own Music Publishing Company AmandaRick Music (BMI), writing for Film and TV, as well as for mainstream artists in many different genres. Currently, the Taylor’s reside in Nashville, Tennessee.
Clint Park
Clint started out playing drums in a band he formed with his best friend that covered Metallica and other hard-rock acts. “We were terrible,” Clint jokes. “We were called Armageddon, and it sounded like the end of the world.” Clint picked up acoustic guitar and formed another duo with a friend in the area. Clint’s father, Johnny Park, occasionally sat in with them, but father and son soon decided their musical connection—grounded in a deep-rooted blend of country and Southern rock—were stronger than the one Clint had with his original musical partner.
“We’d always played together, you know, pickin’ out some songs at home but never in front of an audience like that,” Clint says. “I think we were both surprised by how the crowds reacted to what we were doing onstage.” Johnny and Clint slowly assembled a band, one musician at a time and one original song at a time … The Parks built a following in the Gallatin, Tennessee area. Currently, The Parks are signed to Lyric Street Records in Nashville, Tennessee.
