Growing up, show business was in Audra Mae’s blood. Her great grandmother, Virginia, was a member of the Gumm Sisters, whose youngest member, Francis Ethel Gumm, grew up to be Judy Garland. Her paternal grandmother turned her on to country and folk artists like Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton and Woody Guthrie, while her maternal grandfather introduced her to jazz.

Since arriving in California seven years ago with the proverbial $20 in her pocket, Audra Mae has done alright for herself. She landed a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell, a TV placement singing Bob Dylan’s 'Forever Young' on the hit F/X series 'Sons of Anarchy', and in 2009, wrote the lyrics to 'Who I Was Born to Be', the only original track on Susan Boyle’s chart-topping, 9 million-selling 'I Dreamed a Dream' album.

Since her acclaimed SideOneDummy Records debut 'The Happiest Lamb' in May 2010, Audra Mae has undergone quite a transformation. The new album is a rocking affair with her band, The Almighty Sound.

Deana Carter, a country star in her own right, came aboard to co-produce after seeing Audra Mae and the band perform a gig in Santa Monica.
