Gloriana

by Steve Leggett Nashville-based country vocal group Gloriana was formed in 2007 when brothers (and guitarists) Tom Gossin and Mike Gossin, who had been working as a duo in the North Carolina area, moved to Nashville and met Rachel Reinert. The vocal chemistry was obvious from the start, and when Cheyenne Kimball joined, the group was set, adding Kimball's vocal and mandolin skills to the mix. After several months rehearsing and working on their sound, the band sent a demo to Emblem Music Group, a new label just founded by Matt Serletic. Serletic liked what he heard and signed the quartet, releasing the group's debut album, the self-titled Gloriana, in 2009.
