A
true country music duo, Mustang Creek features a brother and sister
sharing lead vocals, who grew up in a musical family singing family
harmony, and formed their first band while still in high school.
The
musically-diverse area of southeast
Texas
has grown many young people into aspiring country stars.
For Brad and Shelly Brinkley,
Baytown
,
Texas
, a small town thirty miles from
Houston
, served as home. For
them, however, their first musical influence was even closer.
Their father Emmitt played fiddle with several professional
artists, including
Mel Street
, Little Jimmy Dickens and Mark Chesnutt. Shelly
recalls, “We grew up surrounded by music and musicians, and it’s
just natural for us to sing together.”
The two soon began singing as a duo at churches, fairs and
festivals.
While
still in high school, Brad and Shelly formed a band called “Southern
Rein” and played venues in southeast
Texas
and southwest
Louisiana
. With a
laugh, Brad says, “Singing together kept us out of trouble growing
up.”
As
their reputation for great live performances grew, the duo was soon in
demand to open shows for country music stars such as Garth Brooks, Tim
McGraw, Tracy Lawrence, David Ball, Sammy Kershaw, Gene Watson, Johnny
Rodriquez, John Conlee, Willie Nelson and many others.
Recent
performances include the Home Front Celebration in
Fort Polk
,
LA
with an estimated 30,000 people in attendance.
Mustang Creek helped welcome home 3,000 troops that have been
serving in the
Middle East
. The duo also played the Franklin Parish Catfish Festival, the largest
one-day festival in the state of
Louisiana
, with an estimated 40,000 attendees.
With all this activity, the duo was honored as Duo of the Year by
the Atlanta Society of Entertainers.
With
a family dynamic that comes through in their music and live
performances,
Mustang Creek has a style and sound like no other duo in country music.
Newly signed with Cupit Records, Mustang Creek’s debut single
“He’ll Never Be A Lawyer (‘Cause He Can’t Pass the Bar)” is a
fun, up-tempo tune perfect for summertime.
Mustang Creek will debut the new single during the CMA Festival
in
Nashville
on the Riverfront stage, as well as perform a set during the “Acoustic
Corner” in the
Nashville
Convention Center
. Their
yet-untitled CD is
nearing completion and will be released by Cupit Records (distributed by
Sony/Red), in late 2007.
