Welcome Friends and thank you for connecting with us for another wonderful episode of CWC! In Today's episode we catch up with our good friend Paige King Johnson and talk about new music, life, and exciting things happening in 2024. Meet Paige: In a quiet North Carolina town 22 miles south of Raleigh, as a young 9-year-old girl, Paige King Johnson spent her days imitating the styles of Loretta, Patsy, Waylon, and Merle. Having a grandpa as her biggest fan also meant receiving the gift of her first guitar – a baby Taylor - and enrolling in lessons. After her grandpa passed, the bright-eyed dreamer carried on his memory by taking her newfound discovery to local fairs, festivals, and any other stage she was allowed to stand on. As she grew older, Johnson added “opening act” to her resume, supporting chart topping artists like Kane Brown, Oliver Anthony, Joe Nichols, Gabby Barrett, Diamond Rio, Scotty McCreery, Kylie Morgan, Neal McCoy and more. And with high school graduation came the realization that this was more than a hobby. The Angier native traded in horse pastures for the bright lights of Music City in 2015. Upon starting school at Belmont University for Music Business, Johnson honed in on the magic that had heavily influenced her as a child: the art of storytelling thru songwriting.

Welcome Friends and thank you for connecting with us for an amazing episode of CWC! In today's episode, Paula and Donna meet up with the talented Carley Callaghan of Silverspark!

Silverspark Bio:

After a chance meeting in London, songwriters Carley Callaghan and Matt Phillips began their story. Within 6 months of meeting, they had quit their day jobs to take a leap of faith and build a career in music. Sacrificing many of life's comforts, they honed their craft performing covers at weddings and events to pay the bills and wrote their first song together backstage at a show. Those early songs, Carley’s soulful voice and Matt’s captivating guitar playing meant they quickly grew a loyal fan base and played at iconic circuit venues such as The Musician, The Jericho Tavern, and the O2 Academy. Radio support from regional BBC stations, and College Radio in the US, further cemented them as a band to watch. Just as momentum was building, SilverSpark faced some unexpected twists in the road, including COVID-19, which left them on hiatus.....until now.

For Carley and Matt, the fire burns strong, and with a desire to get back to their roots as a duo. With their love of real instrumentation and evocative storytelling, the authenticity of country music has always been in their blood. Growing up, Matt was listening to REM, The Eagles, and The Rolling Stones, whilst Carley was singing Patsy Cline songs and had Shania Twain, Faith Hill and LeAnn Rimes on repeat. It's this rich melting pot of influences, including some of the greatest storytellers of all time, that inspire SilverSpark to take the listener on a journey. Whether it’s one of heartbreak or redemption, hope or defiance, throughout their lyrics as in their daily lives, they always wear their hearts on their sleeves.

'The Last Time' is the first single in this new chapter; a powerful anthem for anyone who has seen the warning signs in a relationship and knows they need to escape before it's too late.
