Hello To All,

I am a twelve year old Southern girl from Knoxville, Tn.. My family tells me, I was
singing before walking. All I know for sure is that I plan on doing it until I die. I
love the old country music of Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Connie Smith, and
last, but certainly not least, Dolly Parton. If you haven't already imagined, this
does not win me any popularity contests at school, however I believe that I
should follow my dreams, not the kid ahead of me in line. A huge inspiration and
dear friend of mine, Jim Clayton coined a phrase " First A Dream". I plan to carry
that coin as far as it will take me. Blessed with many talented friends and
teachers, I study  guitar, mandolin, piano, and vocals. Spreading joy is my
passion and music is my vehicle. May God Richly Bless You and Yours!


Live, Laugh, and Love America!
Logan

It all started in a highchair just before Logan turned two. She was singing This Is
The Day, while eating dry Cheerio’s. I watched in amazement as she made it all
the way through the song without missing a word. She was 23 months old. At
that time we attended a small country church with one man that handled
everything. He taught the word in both scripture and song. The church had no
nursery at that time and Logan was always in the service with us and I guess she
just picked up on the songs that we sang often. We told the pastor, Pat Polis,
about what she could do and he let her sing on the following Sunday. A
performer was born. He continued to let her do new songs she would learn and
she is forever grateful to him for she believes that is why she has no fear of an
audience today.

As she began to explore her music abilities she found that she loved the piano
and began taking lessons at four years old. One of the sweetest ladies around
with great patients, Marinel Edwards, started Logan on a musical journey that
has lead to other instruments and many great teachers and mentors through the
years. She now plays the guitar, piano and mandolin.

From that small church pulpit to the Civic Auditorium Logan has been blessed
with many opportunities to share her talents with Knoxville and the world. She
has been a part of several productions in Pigeon Forge, beginning with Elwood
Smooches old Smoky Hoedown when she was nine. She was the featured
vocalist of the 2006 Clayton Christmas concert with the Knoxville Symphony.
She shared the stage at the beautiful Tennessee Theater with the Knoxville
Opera in the production o LaBoheme’ in 2007.  She then spent the rest of the
2007 season at Country Tonite  Theatre.  All while traveling the country with her
dear friend Jim Clayton and doing shows from Colorado to Orlando and
continuing to practice her instruments and growing her abilities to carry a show
by her self. In 2008 she is on her own as Logan Murrell and having a blast
traveling around the south east sharing her passion for music. She says the
stage productions are fun, but she much prefers to be up close and personal
with her audiences and to have the freedom to change things up every now and
then. She also enjoys being able to spend more time learning the theory,
engineering, mixing, and producing of music from her long time mentor and
friend Darrell Puett.  She is beginning to write some songs and hopes to put out
a CD of originals soon. Although country music is her true love, she also is
influenced by some of the other musical greats as Chicago, James Taylor, The
Beatles, and  Karen Carpenter.

Logan attends public school and is a 4.0 student. She has a baby sister Taylor
whom she adores and loves to spend time with. She wants to continue to go
through school like anyone else and keep life’s experiences in the proper order.
She wants to attend Berkley school of Music in Boston, but says she may just
go to Belmont in Nashville to make Mom happy.  Fame? “If it happens I can
handle it, but chasing it is not my top priority.”   She will spend the summer
traveling to state fairs and doing local public and private.
