Dreamlined Entertainment Group Adds Member

Farewell Angelina, a group of vocalists, multi-instrumentalists and songwriters have added singer/songwriter/guitarist Lauren Lucas to the band. Before becoming a group, Nicole Witt, Andrea Young and Lisa Torres experienced individual successes by having their songs cut by artists like George Strait, Lee Brice and Rodney Atkins.

Farewell Angelina’s debut self-titled EP, co-produced by Keith Stegall, was released on his new Dreamlined Entertainment label this summer. Promotion and artist development is being handled by Star Farm Nashville, and their current single, the beautiful “If It Ain’t With You,” is impacting this fall.
