Category 5 signs new artist
Thursday, October 26, 2006 – Category 5 Records signed singer and songwriter Donovan Chapman and released his debut single "House Like That" to country radio.
Chapman's call to music started during his Air Force tenure when he began using leave time to journey to Nashville and write songs. That led to hooking up with Category 5's President/CEO Raymond Termini who is co-producing Chapman's debut for the label with Billy Joe Walker. The album is expected in early 2007.
"[Category 5's National VP of Promotions] Bill Macky and I were friends when he was at Sony," Chapman explains. "He heard my song 'House Like That' and when he got over to Category 5, he played it for Ray Termini. Ray flipped out, called me and said, 'Let's get you in here.'"
Chapman, half Hawaiian and half French-English-American Indian, may play ukulele or congas during a show, but the label says his music clearly is country.

Adkins, on the other hand, has not been afraid to speak his mind with a kick butt attitude.... »»»
Concert Review: Eilen Jewell wears her musical hats well –
Eilen Jewell wears a lot of musical hats. The Idaho native, who now lives in Boston, fronts the Eilen (ee-lin) Jewell Band, a pretty much traditional country band. She's a member the Sacred Shakers, an octet doing gospel country with a country beat. And she has yet another project, Butcher Holler, covering Loretta Lynn songs.... »»»
