Amid the soaring four-part harmonies and electric stage presence, it's clear that Gloriana represents an exciting new force in country music. The group--Tom Gossin, Mike Gossin, Rachel Reinert and Cheyenne Kimball--consists of four uniquely talented 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 Grammywinning producer/label executive Matt Serletic and premiere Nashville songwriter Jeffrey Steele to the fans who've heard them in venues ranging from Buck Owens' Crystal Palace in Bakersfield to the clubs of the Deep South.
Now, with the release of their selftitled debut album, they're ready to take their cutting-edge country nationwide. The project reflects both the sheer talent of Gloriana's members and the level of commitment they have put into making every note count.
In the winter of 2007, Gloriana got its start when brothers Tom and Mike, who had moved to Nashville after sweating it out in clubs in North Carolina, discovered Rachel through her MySpace page. "We had never combined our duo with a female voice before," says Mike, "but singing with her was awesome. It gave us that high harmony and the sound was amazing." It wasn’t long before Cheyenne saw them perform at a top Nashville club and fell in love with the band’s sound. Immediately after the show, Cheyenne asked the trio if she could get together with them and jam. When they did, there was magic. "The three of us definitely felt we had something special," says Rachel, "but when Cheyenne came into the picture, it was really complete. The four-part harmony felt right, and the sound was spectacular." From that point on, commitment was everything. "We spent the next six months getting our songs and our live sound together," says Mike. "We accomplished a lot, working non-stop, playing shows, making sure we were tight and ready to go."
