Cheyane Smith

Mt. Pleasant, TX, November 29, 2007 - Fifteen-year-old Cheyane Smith of Ore City, Texas has been selected to sing the National Anthem at the Fourth Annual Pilgrim's Pride Bowl Classic, the Bowl Classic committee announced today.

Cheyane has been singing since the age of six in church. At the age of ten she recorded her first CD and found herself performing at various functions including fairs, opries, music festivals, and private events. She has won many awards and singing competitions and has proven to be a great entertainer.

"Cheyane performed at this year's Titus County Fair and really wowed the audience," said Judi Saxton, Mt. Pleasant ISD (MPISD) Public Information Officer and a member of the Bowl Classic committee. "We are thrilled that she is available to sing the National Anthem for this year's game."

Cheyane's ability to sing all types of music, including country, gospel, southern rock, and rock & roll has made her a crowd-pleaser with all ages. She has had the pleasure of performing with many well-known musical artists, including Neal McCoy, Perfect Stranger, Johnny Lee, Moe Bandy, Johnny Rodriguez, Gene Watson, Jeff Bates, Shenandoah and the Bellamy Brothers.

Cheyane has recorded several CDs and wrote one of the songs on her latest CD. She recently teamed up with the Luke Williams Band, and the two young performers have proven to be a crowd-pleasing act.
