GrandVista Signs Marty Raybon -- (July 20, 2009)

It's a label that believes in producing new standards to achieve the finest quality in recorded music today. So it's no surprise that GrandVista Music is pleased to announce signing singer/songwriter Marty Raybon to the Nashville based label. “The opportunity and vision of GrandVista that I have been given is a dream come true," says Raybon.

A seasoned and successful artist, Marty Raybon is the total country entertainer. From bluegrass to southern gospel, to the grass roots of country, Marty Raybon's career has spanned over two decades and includes five #1 hits, a Grammy award, and a CMA award. Raybon first made a splash in the country music scene as Shenandoah’s lead singer from 1985 until 1997. During his time with the band, they produced hits including: “Next to You, Next to Me;” “Somewhere in the Vicinity of the Heart;" “Two Dozen Roses;" "The Church on Cumberland Road;" and “Darned If I Don't (Danged If I Do).” After a long run as Shenandoah’s lead singer in the eighties and nineties, Raybon has most recently been out on the road with his band “Full Circle,” playing over a hundred dates a year to a dedicated fan base.

Marty Raybon will be the first in his genre to join the GrandVista roster, which includes artists Perry Danos and Shelean Newman, the GrandVista Recording Orchestra, Quaver, and Orchestra Mastrangelo. "We're really proud to be signing Marty. We've got great plans for him,” says GrandVista CEO David Mastran. “I look forward to the grand scheme of the next chapter in my life with GrandVista" adds Raybon.
