The Songs
Tickets at the Door
A classic country music story of love lost and still hoped for — with a memorable melody highlighted by SheSings' three-part harmony and a smooth lead vocal. Tickets at the Door draws listeners in from the start, opening with twin-fiddle stylings by renowned musician Dewey Brown, who toured with bluegrass legend Dr. Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys for nearly a dozen years. Beautifully layered steel guitar stylings are added by Grammy Award-winning Nashville musician Robin Ruddy, who has toured with Ray Stevens and Rod Stewart.
Lead Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, 5-string Banjo, Twin Fiddle, Steel Guitar, Bass Guitar
Anna Rose
A fun, bluegrass-style song all about a girl in a bar with a heartache and nowhere else to go. This upbeat tune combines amusing lyrics with bright harmonies — you'll be singing along in no time! Dewey Brown provides a lively lead fiddle while Carol adds complementary 5-string banjo runs and riffs that keep the energy moving.

Josie, Run
The compelling tale of a lady outlaw in the Old West and how her legacy plays out through the generations. A driving melody builds as the listener falls deeper into the story, riding along with Josie as she runs desperately from her past. Dewey Brown's soulful fiddle skillfully interprets the ballad's emotion and underscores this lyrical tapestry woven by Carol Parker Schafer.
