A sought-after studio musician, she has recorded for an impressive list of artists in Country, Gospel, and Pop, including Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean with Alabama, Billy Ray Cyrus, George Jones, Dolly Parton, Wynonna, and many more. In the mid-eighties, Vick established Country’s first all-female band to receive national recognition. “The Right Combination” was a six-piece, all-girl band formed to back country legend Porter Wagoner. In the late 80s, Wanda formed another all-girl band with the hopes to land a major recording contract. “Wild Rose” was the fulfillment of the vision Wanda had and was quite successful, going on to tour worldwide and being featured on numerous television shows.The music of the Burchfield family is interesting and inspired arrangements of hymns, spirituals, and originals that feature heartfelt vocals, family harmonies and skillfully played instruments. Mark on bass and Wanda on fiddle, banjo, dobro, mandolin, and guitar, have had successful careers in music in Nashville, TN and have toured worldwide with major artists, performed regularly on national TV, the Grand Ole Opry, and Gaither Videos and as studio musicians, have recorded for motion pictures, jingles, and hundreds of artists in many musical genres. Artists they have recorded for or toured with include, Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift, Alabama, Billy Ray Cyrus, Sandi Patti, Vestal Goodman and many, many more. They are thankful for their individual success, that has earned them Grammy, ACM, and Dove nominations as well as the 2017 country Music Hall of Fame Musician Spotlight but their focus is not to earn earthly rewards, but to seek God first in all they do and use their God-given talents wherever He may lead. After seeing her win several major singing competitions, they realized that their daughter, Victoria, now 17, had a special gift and began singing and recording with her. Since then, they have recently completed her album which also features the family entitled “I Rejoice” and she along with the family has brought their refreshing music to “The 700 Club” on ABC family and the “Today” show on 3ABN. Inspired by seeing his older sister Victoria sing, Daniel, age 10, joins the family on a couple of songs and his sweet voice is a highlight of their program.Victoria's unique country, bluegrass vocal style, with a subtle influence of Dolly Parton and Alison Kraus, has won her top honors at several notable contests in the past couple of years, including first place female vocalist at Top Nazarene Talent, southeastern US, 2013 and 2014 as well as first prize overall at Taylor Ware’s “Sing your Heart Out” competition. With a blossoming career in gospel music, she is also working on her talents as a musician and songwriter. “I want to do my best to develop the gifts God has given me, and just allow him to use me.” Her musical talent does not come by surprise. Both her parents have a mind boggling list of musical credits.A﻿bout Shaun Richardson:With a seasoned career already under his belt, Shaun is no stranger to the music industry. Originally hailing from Michigan where he honed his craft from a young age, Shaun made the move to Nashville while already in-demand for on the road touring and session work. Having recorded/shared the stage with a range of artists such as TJ Jackson, Sierra Hull, The War &amp; Treaty, Chris Shifflett (of the Foo Fighters), Jessie James Decker, Ricky Skaggs, Dailey &amp; Vincent, Michael Martin Murphey, and more. Recently, he was hand-picked to be a part of the touring band for Béla Fleck’s: My Bluegrass Heart tour. While also having an active role at multiple recording studios in Nashville, Shaun has been able to contribute his artistic vision to a unique variation of musical projects. With accomplished skills in multi-instrumental musicianship, writing and arranging, and producing, he plays a triple threat in everything he is a part of. There is no doubt that anyone listening to Shaun can identify the expertise and sense the passion and love he has for music. A﻿bout Seth Taylor:S﻿eth is a touring/session multi-instrumentalist based in Nashville, Tennessee. He regularly tours with his band, Mountain Heart.MEDIA:<a href="https://youtu.be/Q6XQWSl6tUs" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">"A New Song"</a><a href="https://youtu.be/SDLm07yatEU" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">"I Feel Like Traveling On"</a>
