At the House of Blues after watching Johnny Cash perform, Rick Rubin (Def Jam, American, Columbia Records) suggested she make a record with June Carter Cash. Hamilton shopped June's demos around to all the major labels but there was a reluctance to sign this country legend. This is when Vicky started her own label Small Hairy Dog and gave June a label to call home. Her CD, Press On was released in 1999 and earned a Grammy Award in 2000. As Hamilton later stated, “I didn’t plan on starting a record company, I just knew that June’s music needed to be heard.”

There are not enough words to describe Diana Meyer. Growing up she didn’t fit in at school and she didn’t fit in at home. With nowhere to turn she found comfort in music and the freedom to express the feelings she tucked inside. She was especially intrigued by punk rock and through it she soon found a connection to others like her. At a very young age she had an impeccable ear for music. Her mother being her very first and number one fan knew she had a talent. Without anyone’s approval she gave Diana her very first guitar. Diana then spent many school days at home in her bedroom learning songs by ear. She always dreamed of fronting a band; rocking out on a Les Paul and sharing her words to express what others like her might be feeling, but can’t let out.
Her fans were estatic over her first solo EP released in June 2013 called A Place Where The Sun Never Goes Down. She released an amusing yet polished music video for the first song off the EP called “Wake Up” to share her playful side as well as a dramatically emotional video for her song called "Say That You Love Me".
Diana is consistently writing songs and is currently working on a second EP.
