Regan is a former president of the Nashville Songwriters Association International and written hits for Keith Urban, Trisha Yearwood, Reba McEntire and Tanya Tucker, among others. Middleman, a former Giant Records artist, has had cuts by Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Joe Nichols, Tracy Lawrence and Terri Clark.
