Carter’s Chord are a female country music group from the 2000s that consisted of sisters Becky, Emily and Joanna Robertson. They are the daughters of Barny and Carter Robertson, who played in Waylon Jennings’ road band, The Waylors in the ’70s.

The sisters made their recording debut on Waylon’s 1998 album, “Cowboys, Sisters, Rascals & Dirt” (which was produced by their father). They would also charge for the shows they performed at home and some of the artists who paid to see them were Waylon Jennings and members of The Crickets.

They later moved to Nashville, Tennessee where they began honing their singing and songwriting skills, and were discovered by Toby Keith. After holding a showcase on February 14, 2006, Toby signed Carter’s Chord to his Show Dog Nashville record label.

The trio’s first release on the label was a recording of the song, “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” which was placed into rotation on the CMT network. They also recorded the song, “Song of Blue” for the soundtrack to the 2008 film, “Beer for My Horses” which Toby Keith starred in.
In January of 2008, Carter’s Chord released their debut single, “Young Love” to radio which peaked at #49 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, staying on the chart for 12 weeks, making it their highest charting single to date.
The follow-up single, “Different Breed” was released in April of that same year which managed to peak at #52 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, staying on the chart for 8 weeks.
In June of 2008, Carter’s Chord released their self-titled debut album to digital retailers which didn’t appear to make the charts.
In January of 2010, the trio released the third single, “You Knock Me Out” to radio, but it failed to make any impact at all. In 2011, their follow-up single, “A Little Less Comfortable” also didn’t make the charts at all.
In May of that same year, Carter’s Chord released an EP, “Wild Together” which peaked at #48 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and #12 on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers Albums chart.

Afterwards, it appeared as if Carter’s Chord faded into obscurity. In 2014, Joanna released an EP called “Machinery.”

The Producers are a new wave\power pop band from Atlanta, Georgia that consists of members Van Temple, Kyle Henderson, Wayne Famous and Bryan Holmes.

They originally formed as a Beatles cover band named Cartoon and later performed their own material in nightclubs around the Atlanta area. The positive reception to their music led to The Producers signing a record deal to Portrait Records.
In 1981, The Producers released their self-titled debut album which peaked at #163 on the Billboard 200.
The lead single from the album, “What She Does to Me (The Diana Song)” peaked at #61 on the Billboard Hot 100, staying on the the chart for 6 weeks, making it their only highest charting single to date.
The follow-up single, “What’s He Got?” peaked at #8 on Billboard’s Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, staying on the chart for 4 weeks.
The last single, “I Love Lucy” didn’t make the charts at all. The Producers’ music videos received popularity on MTV and they toured extensively during the early ’80s. They also opened up for The Motels and Cheap Trick.
In 1982, the band released their sophomore album, “You Make the Heat” which didn’t appear to make the Billboard album charts at all.
The only single released from the album, “She Sheila” didn’t make the Hot 100, but managed to peak at #48 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart. During that same year, they headlined MTV’s “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” broadcast.

After their second album was released, The Producers were dropped from Portrait Records. Kyle Henderson became a born-again Christian and left the band shortly afterwards to record a solo album. He was replaced by Tim Smith.
In 1985, The Producers released their third studio album, “Run For Your Life” on the Marathon Records label which didn’t make the charts.
The lead and only single from the album, “Depending On You” failed to make any impact on the charts at all.
In the late ’80s, The Producers signed a new record deal with MCA Records and recorded their fourth album, “Coelacanth”, but they were dropped from the label due to a label purge at MCA Records before the album could be released. It wasn’t until 2001 that the album was released on the One Way Records label.

By 1991, the band officially “retired”, but these days (according to research), they continue to perform together for occasional live shows, primarily in the Southeastern and Midwestern United States. As of 2019, the line-up consists of Wayne, Kyle, Bryan and Van.
