Jamie O'Neal Onstage

Nashville certainly had no regrets when O’Neal came to town with her powerhouse vocals and unique flair for the craft of songwriting, which opened many doors and created countless contacts throughout Music City. After crossing paths with Keith Stegall (Alan Jackson, Clay Walker), the famed producer helped the young rising star land her first record deal with Mercury Nashville, which resulted with the release of her critically acclaimed album Shiver.

O’Neal went on to earn the title of the ACM’s Top New Female Vocalist award and was named the Top New Country Artist by Billboard. Two of her four Grammy nominations came as a songwriter, for Best Country Song for “There Is No Arizona” and its chart-topping follow-up, “When I Think About Angels.”

In addition to headlining her own shows, O’Neal has toured with Reba McEntire, Kenny Chesney, Martina McBride, Alan Jackson and more. She has also landed songs on the soundtracks of Bridget Jones’ Diary and When We Were Soldiers, as well as on the ABC smash Desperate Housewives.
