Amid the soaring four-part harmonies and electric stage presence, it's clear that Gloriana represents an exciting new and vibrant force in country music. The group — Tom Gossin, Mike Gossin, Rachel Reinert and Cheyenne Kimball — consists of four uniquely talented and enthusiastic young musicians joining forces to create a fresh, one-of-a-kind sound that reflects the best of today's Nashville.

From the outset, Gloriana has been winning supporters at all levels, from Grammy-winning producer/label owner Matt Serletic and premiere Nashville songwriter Jeffrey Steele, to the fans who've already had the chance to experience them live. Their self-titled debut album reflects both the sheer talent of its members and the level of commitment they have put into making every note count.

Gloriana got its start in the winter of 2007, when brothers Tom and Mike, who had moved to Nashville after sweating it out in clubs in North Carolina, discovered Rachel.

"We had never combined our duo with a female voice before," says Mike, "but singing with her gave us that high harmony and opened us up to something new."

It wasn't long after seeing the group perform at 3rd and Lindsley that Cheyenne fell in love with Gloriana. "When I saw them perform for the first time, it renewed my passion for music," said Cheyenne. So immediately after the show, she asked the trio if she could get together with them and jam. When they did, it was magic.

"The three of us definitely felt we had something special," says Rachel, "but when Cheyenne came into the picture, the four-part harmony completed us. Her skills on the mandolin, combined with the guys' guitar talent helped us to replicate the group's live sound. It felt complete."

From that point on, commitment was everything. "We spent the next six months getting our songs and our live sound together," says Tom. "We accomplished a lot, working non-stop, playing shows, making sure we were tight and ready to go."
