Singer / Songwriter Ronnie
Nyles has long been revered as
one of the premier women
entertainers of the mid-west.
Her career has taken her on
many musical journeys
throughout the United States,
Canada, Australia and Europe.
These tours have Ronnie
headlining concerts and festivals engagements as well
as opening for National and International recording
artists. With a wide dynamic and expressive range,
Ronnie can belt out a raspy Rod Stewart roots rock
sound or slip into a smoky, torrid blues with her voice.
Ronnie’s distinctive voice blends a variety of songs
and styles that include rock, country and acoustic folk
leaning on the musical influences of Bonnie Raitt,
Heart, Joni Mitchel, John Mellencamp, and Janis
Joplin just to name a few.
Consistent staying power has earned Ronnie a strong,
dedicated following. That same staying power and
dedication has won her multiple nominations and
eight WAMI (Wisconsin Area Music Industry) awards
which include four “Female Vocalist of the Year”
awards, two “People’s Choice” awards and two
“Contemporary / Pop Artist of the Year” awards.
In addition, Ronnie stays true to her own material
having released three CD’s, “Building Rome”,
“January Weather” and an all original Christmas CD
“It’s Christmas”. Ronnie just recently released her
newest single and video “Movin’ On” and is currently
in the studio working on her next CD scheduled to be
released this summer.

Zoe Watson
Genevieve Heyward
Indie - Rock
Alternative / Pop / Contemporary Folk
Zoe Watson, also known by her
stage name, Watson, is a seventeen year old singer/songwriter,
born and raised in Milwaukee,
WI. She grew up in a household
full of art and music; her mother
is a ballerina and her father is a
songwriter as well. S he began
songwriting when she was eleven and it only progressed as
she grew older, leading to the release of her first album,
Warm & Sweet. Watson taught herself guitar when she was
thirteen, and since has learned ukulele and some mandolin.
Few can match the sultry
soulfulness of Genevieve
Heyward. The Wisconsin native
has been performing and
receiving accolades for several
years, most recently adding
songwriting to her already full
resume. Whether it's jazz, folk,
blues or pop, Genevieve can rock
the house!
To Zoe, songwriting has always been a way of speaking
without really having to say anything. Metaphors and
hidden meanings often play a part in her music, which she
finds lets people draw their own conclusions and relate her
songs directly to their own lives and situations. With
influences such as Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, Daughter, and
The Front Bottoms, Zoe has formed to an indie-rock style of
songwriting with passionate, truthful lyrics and comforting
guitar melodies.
On Warm & Sweet, her debut album that was released in
October of 2015, Zoe released twelve original songs and one
cover. The entire album started with the writing of the song
“Baby Blue Lullaby”, which she had written for her sister
the year prior. It stemmed off into an eye-opening
adventure of discovering not only what it means to love
yourself and be self-aware, but also what it means to love
and respect the people around you.
Currently, Zoe is working on producing her second album,
titled Intimacy, which she hopes to have released by March
of 2016. She finds excitement in new opportunities and is
hopeful and excited for this upcoming album to be released.

.
In the recording studio Genevieve is prepared to lead the
way in creating her own tracks. Two years ago she
recorded her first demo CD featuring "Words Will
Follow" an aptly named ballad, any writer's blocked
composer could appreciate. Another track, "All for You"
is a soothing, tongue in cheek track about a rather one
sided relationship. "Bang Bang" however shows
Genevieve's true range, arcing from blues to hip-rock
and back, all the while telling a heartfelt tale of love and
street violence.
It's the songs from the heart, about younger generational
values and relationships that only indie singer
songwriters like Genevieve can tell. Anyone can relate to
her lyrics, and vocals that cut through the air as quick as
they pass across the audience ears, mind and soul.
Recently writing and performing "Daydreamer" she tells
the tale of a friend, comforting another while giving
really down to earth advice, "everybody needs, a little
broken heart...".
Genevieve (or Gen to her friends), started like many in
the solo singer category, a variety show here, a local
festival there. The multi talented Heyward is a natural,
being able to play by ear, and showing a mastery for
piano and guitar. Her breakout year coincided with the
summer of her freshman year of high school. Genevieve
rocked the tent at Under the Big Top Music Fest in 2013.
The Washington Island event would also propel her to
Mandy Cappleman
In addition, Heyward has been featured at Tales Music
Fest in Burlington, WI, the Mile of Music Festival in
Appleton, WI, East /West Music Fest in De Pere, WI, the
WAMI Youth Showcase and the Steel Bridge Songfest in
Sturgeon Bay, WI. March of 2014 saw Genevieve open for
national performing artist, and Season 6 "The Voice"
contestant Megan Ruger. Gen wasn't done getting cozy
with famous artists, as she opened for Little Big Town at
the Walworth County Fair in August that same year.
No one should forget that Heyward works many events
around a jam packed school schedule (after all, she's only
a 16 year old junior). Dipping in her bag of talents has
found Genevieve on stage with her school’s Jazz
Ensemble for the last two years. She has also developed
into quite the actress performing roles in "Anything
Goes", "Crazy for You" and this year's production of "All
Shook Up" in a leading role for the Drama department.
Singer / Songwriter
Mandy is a singer/
songwriter and visual
artist from the Milwaukee
area. Being very shy, for a
long time Mandy’s poetry
was her only true voice.
When she realized she
could sing and learned some guitar, her poems easily
transitioned into songs. Now, at 29 and a mom of two,
Mandy writes songs for adults and children.

She was invited on more than one occasion to "jam" with
blues, folk, country and other artists at Fiddler's Green
on Washington Island. Genevieve has also had jam
sessions all over the island, including Trueblood
Performing Arts Center (where she opened for national
recording artist Ellis Paul).
Genevieve adeptly covers Etta James, Patsy Cline and
other greats with the willful devotion of a much older,
more seasoned performer. She also dips into today's
artists with ease, covering Bon Iver, Alt J and other
contemporary performers.
She attributes her musical roots of jazz to her dad. On the
business side, mom Kim, "the manager" as Heyward
lovingly refers to her mother, can be found at every gig,
large or small, usually with camera in hand.
SheRocks Wisconsin
will be launching it’s YouTube Channel
SOON!
We're quite sure Genevieve will be breaking, and winning
hearts as she continues her musical journey.
