Marty Dodson spent years as a youth minister, before making the daring choice to switch careers and chase the songwriting dream. Ten #1 songs and more than 150 cuts later, Marty has become one of the most accomplished writers in Nashville with notable hit singles such as "Fire It Up” by Joe Cocker, “Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven” by Kenny Chesney, “Must Be Doin’ Somethin’ Right” & “Let Me Down Easy” by Billy Currington. His songs have been recorded by numerous artists including: Blake Shelton, George Strait, Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, The Plain White T’s, The Oak Ridge Boys, Don Williams, Johnny Reid, Billy Ray Cyrus and Big & Rich.

Marty’s self-professed “greatest achievement” in his songwriting career to date was knocking artist Psy (“Gangnam Style”) out of the #1 spot in South Korea and winning “Song of the Year” honors for South Korea and all of Asia with his song “Bounce” recorded by Cho Yong Pil. Marty currently resides in Nashville TN with his wife Candy and is the owner and writer for Sail Away Songs.

Tyson Leslie has been playing professionally in clubs and venues all over the US and Globally since 1988. Originally from Kansas City by way of Greeley Colorado, Leslie migrated to Nashville to pursue his dream further to be in a touring act and upon living here three months, he landed the keyboard spot for 90s country superstar Tracy Lawrence. Previous to his tenure with Lawrence, he performed with Corey Taylor of the heavy metal juggernaut Slipknot and Stone Sour in 2008 to 2009. He has since been the keyboardist for late 80s hard rock all female sensation Vixen and is still touring the world with them since 2017. Leslie has performed on the Kid Rock Cruise. The KISS cruise. The Megadeth cruise. Monsters Of Rock, Shiprocked and the Rob Gronkowski cruise among others. He has worked alongside members of Taylor Swift's band, Beyonce's band, Kelly Clarkson's band, Florida Georgia Line, and giant laundry list of other musicians that we've all seen either in concert or on our television sets at home. When Tyson isn’t on the road you can often see him performing between 6-7 nights a week on lower Broadway in Nashville or performing at a Dueling Piano bar somewhere across the country. Leslie has also seen his Rare Hare jams become one of Nashville's biggest and most successful musician gatherings and has attracted musicians from across the world who fly in just to perform in the series that takes place a few times a year.

Feature Track: "Burning Time" written by Tyson Leslie and Todd LaTorre featuring Roxy Petrucci on drums, Jimi Bell on guitar, Billy Sheehan on bass and Todd LaTorre on vocals.
