The Warren Brothers

The Warren Brothers is an country music duo from the late ’90s\early 2000s that consists of brothers Brett and Brad Warren.

Brad and Brett grew up in Tampa, Florida where they previously headed local Christian heavy metal bands such as St. Warren. In 1995, the brothers moved to Nashville, Tennessee and signed a record deal with BNA Records in 1997.
In August of 1998, they released their debut single, “Guilty” which peaked at #34 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 20 weeks. It also peaked at #15 on Billboard’s Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.
In October of that same year, the Warren Brothers released their debut album, “Beautiful Day in the Cold Cruel World” which peaked at #73 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.
The follow-up single from the album, “Better Man” peaked at #32 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 20 weeks.
The last single, “She Wants to Rock” peaked at #37 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 16 weeks. Following the release of their album, the Warren Brothers toured with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
In March of 2000, they released the single, “That’s the Beat of a Heart” featuring singer Sara Evans. The song peaked at #13 on Billboard’s Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart and #22 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 28 weeks.

It was also featured on the soundtrack to the film, “Where the Heart Is” and was nominated for “Vocal Event of the Year” at the 2001 Academy of Country Music Awards.
In September of that same year, the duo released their sophomore album, “King of Nothing” which peaked at #34 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and #43 on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers Albums chart.
The follow-up single, “Move On” which peaked at #5 on Billboard’s Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart and #17 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 25 weeks.
The last single released from the album, “Where Does It Hurt” peaked at #33 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 16 weeks.
In 2004, the Warren Brothers released their third studio album, “Well-Deserved Obscurity” on the Sig\429 record label which didn’t make the album charts at all.

The three singles released from the album, “Hey Mr. President” (which peaked at #28), “Break the Record” (which peaked at #54) and “Sell a Lot of Beer” (which peaked at #51) were moderately successful on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
In August of 2005, they released the compliation album, “Barely Famous Hits” which peaked at #35 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and #6 on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers Albums chart.

During that same year, the CMT network signed Brad & Brett to their own reality TV show, “Barely Famous: The Warren Brothers” and they were dropped from BNA Records. The brothers also served as judges for one season of the talent competition series, “Nashville Star.”

In later years, the brothers began writing songs for other country music artists including Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Martina McBride, Dierks Bentley, Toby Keith and Keith Urban. In 2010, they released the single, “Dear Mr. God.”

In 2013, they won a Daytime Emmy award for “Outstanding Original Song” for the theme song to “Good Afternoon America” (which they co-wrote with Little Big Town). These days, it appears as if Brett & Brad are still active in the music business as songwriters.

Chris Cagle (born Christopher Norris Cagle on November 10, 1968 in DeRidder, Louisiana) is a former country music singer-songwriter from the 2000s.

Chris was born in DeRidder, Louisiana and by the time he was 4 years old, his family moved to Sugar Land, Texas where he resided until moving to Baytown, Texas in his high school years. During high school, he took piano lessons before switching to the guitar. In his senior year of high school, Chris moved to White Settlement, Texas where he attended Brewer High School before moving back to Bayside where he graduated from Ross S. Sterling High School in 1987.

Chris attended the University of Texas at Arlington for a year where he skipped his finance courses to audit music classes and performed in nearby clubs at night. He also spent a brief period attending classes at Lee College in Baytown. He later dropped out of college and moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 1994 at the behest of entertainment attorney Rod Phelps. 

Rod hired Chris to be a nanny for his and his wife, Sheila’s three daughters where Chris remained for several months. While in Nashville, he was waiting tables and tending bar while working to improve himself as a songwriter. 

Chris got his big break when he met the legendary Harlan Howard, who was so impressed with the progress of his songwriting that he was the first person to publish one of his songs. After that, he landed a publishing deal and had songs recorded by David Kersh. A woman that he met while waiting tables led him to Virgin Records head Scott Hendricks, who signed him to a record deal.

In July of 2000, he released his debut single, “My Love Goes On and On” peaked at #76 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #15 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 23 weeks.

In October of that same year, Chris released his debut album, “Play it Loud” which peaked at #164 on the Billboard 200, #19 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and #3 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart. It was also certified Gold by the RIAA.

The follow-up single from the album, “Laredo” peaked at #60 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #8 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 31 weeks.

The third single, “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out” peaked at #35 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart for a week, staying on the chart for 36 weeks.

The last single released from the album, “Country by the Grace of God” peaked at #33 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 20 weeks. In September of 2001, Chris married school teacher Elizabeth Filer; however, they divorced in 2003.

In November of 2002, Chris released the single, “What a Beautiful Day” which peaked at #41 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #4 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 32 weeks.

In April of 2003, he released his self-titled sophomore album which peaked at #15 on the Billboard 200 and topped Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. It was certified Gold by the RIAA, making it his second Gold album.

The last single, “I’d Be Lying” peaked at #39 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 13 weeks. In 2003, Chris performed the song, “Don’t Ask Me No Questions” for the soundtrack to the “Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie” soundtrack. 

In early 2004, he was diagnosed with multiple anomalies on his vocal cords (including a polyp, a lesion, a vocal fold cyst and a granuloma) which forced him to cancel nearly 20 appearances that year including opening dates for Rascal Flatts. He was ordered 60 days of vocal rest and didn’t sing for nearly three months after the diagnosis.

After his vocal recovery, Chris began working on his third studio album, “Anywhere but Here.” In June of 2005, he released the lead single from the album, “Miss Me Baby” which peaked at #67 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #12 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, staying on the chart for 31 weeks. It also peaked at #100 on the Billboard Pop 100 chart.

In October of 2005, he released “Anywhere but Here” which peaked at #24 on the Billboard 200 and #4 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.

The follow-up single, “Wal-Mart Parking Lot” peaked at #42 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, staying on the chart for 9 weeks. The last single from the album, the title song peaked at #52 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, staying on the chart for 9 weeks.

In August of 2006, a judge in Nashville ordered Chris to pay approximately $737,000 to his former manager Mark Hybner, whom Chris had sued in 2004 in an effort to avoid management & publishing deals that he had signed in 1999.

In July of 2007, Chris released the single, “What Kinda Gone” which peaked at #54 on the Billboard Hot 100, #96 on the Billboard Pop 100 and #3 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, staying on the chart for 40 weeks. In November of that same year, he was arrested for domestic assault which resulted in him and his girlfriend, Jennifer Tant being incarcerated in 2008.

In February of 2008, he released his fourth album, “My Life’s Been a Country Song” which peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200 and topped Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. The only charting single, “No Love Games” peaked at #53 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, staying on the chart for 3 weeks. The follow-up, “Never Ever Gone” failed to chart at all.

By the end of the year, Chris parted ways with Capitol Nashville and in 2010, the label released a greatest hits compliation album, “The Best of Chris Cagle” which managed to peak at #34 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.

In December of 2010, Chris married his second wife, Kay; he has two daughters: Stella and Piper, and a stepdaughter, Chloe (from Kay’s previous marriage). During that same year,  he signed a record deal with the Bigger Picture Music Group.

In June of 2011, he released the single, “Got My Country On” which peaked at #86 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #12 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, becoming Chris’s first Top 20 country hit since “What Kinda Gone” in 2007.

In June of 2012, Chris released his fifth album, “Back in the Saddle” which peaked at #27 on the Billboard 200 and #6 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.

The follow-up single, “Let There Be Cowgirls” peaked at #96 on the Billboard Hot 100, #26 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and #16 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. The last single from the album, “Dance Baby Dance” missed the Hot 100, but peaked at #44 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart.

After that, the Bigger Picture Music Group folded in 2013. During that same year, another compliation album, “Icon” was released. In December of 2013, Chris was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated in Greenville, Texas.

In October of 2015, Chris announced his retirement from the music industry to focus on his family. These days (according to research), he currently resides in Love County, Oklahoma.
