BIOGRAPHY
Myra began singing and performing at a very young age. She was in her first band at the age of 16. She performed for many years until she decided to put her singing career on hold to raise a family. Now years later and with encouragement from her family, Myra is back onstage doing what she loves.
In 2005, upon entering a County fair singing competition Myra caught the attention of the producer with her rendition of Leann Rimes “Ten Thousand Angels”. With further encouragement from that producer and her family, Myra is back performing at many music festivals, fairs, private and corporate events where she has had the pleasure of opening for many Major Recording Artists, whom have had great things to say about her performance. In 2008, Myra recorded her first classic country CD at Gene Breeden Studios in Nashville, TN. “This is Forever” proved to be a fan favorite.
