Band Members: Carol Cochran, singer
Influences: My main influence would have to be my parents. My dad had a country band in New Braunfels when I was born. Growing up around the stage and on the dance floor instilled a deep love for country music, performing, and entertaining. I learned to play the guitar, piano, and saxophone and enjoyed performing any time I was given the opportunity.
My husband, Bob, has always given me the support I needed. From helping with the band, to driving all over Texas to Oprys, as well as setting up for Karaoke/DJ shows, he's always been there for me. My three children have always supported me and even at times pushed me to take chances in this business.As far as influential singers, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Lorrie Morgan, Wanda Jackson, and Highway 101 are just a few of my favorites. You will see this when you hear me perform, as I always manage to throw in a song from one of these artists. Classic country has always been my specialty.
Sounds Like: I really don't sound like anyone in particular. I have a very strong voice and sing from the heart. I have many requests to do Patsy Cline, Highway 101, Jeannie Pruitt, and Wanda Jackson songs.
