Congratulations to GSC member Dan Harrison on writing with Artist Belles! The song "Son of Jolene" is about to hit the airwaves this Friday, April 17! This song is a dream come true for Belles, Dan, and co-writer Tyler Banks, as Dolly Parton loved the song so much that she had to be part of it!
GSC had the pleasure of listening to the song at their CRS Showcase in March! You guys are gonna love it!!
