Sean Cunningham has never been afraid to evolve. Before reinventing himself with Whatever That Is — a wildly adventurous, self-produced solo album that blurs the boundaries between alternative, modern pop, indie rock, and lyric-driven Americana — the songwriter spent more than a decade in constant motion, releasing music with several different projects. There was Atlas, the career-launching band that took Cunningham all the way to New Zealand, where the group's chart-topping single "Crawl" set a new record for the longest-running Number 1 hit in Kiwi history. There was also The Cunning, the Led Zeppelin-influenced rock band that he formed after relocating to Nashville. All of that momentum leads Cunningham to his full-length solo debut, Whatever That Is, whose songs are every bit as diverse as the musician who created them. From acoustic tracks like "No Strings" to lushly layered anthems like "Habit," Whatever That Is unfolds like a rallying cry from a musical lifer who, having already experienced overnight success during the infancy of his career, remains willing to rebuild, reimagine, and rediscover himself over and over again.

Teri Bracken’s career as Brontë Fall began almost accidentally. The singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs had always been a music obsessive, dreaming of forming her own bands and playing on stages. While working as the “door girl” at an indie music venue in Chicago, a chance opportunity allowed her to book her first gig as an artist. She quickly came up with a band name (honoring her favorite writers, the Brontë sisters), compiled all the original songs she had, and never, ever looked back. Bracken’s road to acclaimed songwriter began in childhood, when she picked up piano at age 7. Classical violin lessons soon followed, and eventually she was tapped as the singer/violinist in a college rock band with a group of nineties rock loving frat boys. After leaving the guys, she further pursued her passion for violin playing at Berklee, which is where she fell in love with songwriting once and for all. Bracken eventually made her way to Nashville—a dream come true considering it is a songwriter’s mecca.
Teri Bracken’s new album as Brontë Fall,Not Done Yetis about resolve and spirit and ignoring anything in the way of dreaming — even yourself. Bracken wrestles with herself throughout the album. She almost quits, she pulls herself back; she laughs at those who told her to get a more sustainable career; she curses herself for not getting a more sustainable career. The album, defiant and beautiful and mournful and triumphant, is a chronicle of a life lived exactly as Bracken wants, compromising to no one in her quest to continue building a budding and supportive scene for alt-Americana around the country.

Judson Spence (born in Pascagoula, Mississippi) is an American pop music singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist. He originally gained fame when he released his eponymously titled debut solo effort on Atlantic Records in 1988. The album was produced by Monroe Jones and David Tickle, and executive produced by future Interscope founder Jimmy Iovine.
Although he had a top 40 hit with "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" in 1988 and also had a minor hit with "Drift Away" from The Wonder Years soundtrack, Spence was dropped from Atlantic before completing his second album in 1991.
After several years of struggle, Spence's composition "The Power" was covered by both Amy Grant and Cher and was also used for a national Century 21 advertising campaign. Subsequently, he recorded the indie release "painfaithjoy" in 1995.
He performed with Trisha Yearwood on the Oscar nominated song "How Do I Live Without You" in 1997 and sang live with her on the American Music Awards, The Tonight Show, The Oscars, and the CMA Awards.
In 1999, he released his third solo album in Japan, titled I Guess I Love It before his record label, Pioneer Music Group closed its doors. That album was produced by former Eagle Bernie Leadon. In 2000, he toured with Trisha Yearwood. The following year, Wynonna Judd cut Judson's song "New Day Dawning", and it became the title track to her album.
In 2003, Spence released two albums: The Velvet Kitten Sessions, which was a mainstream collection, and Opus Dei, which was a religious-themed effort.
In 2014, Spence filmed a movie about his life, Sing the Blues, that also featured his music.
Now based in Birmingham, AL, Judson is constantly writing new music still.

Steve Woods is a Columbia, Missouri–based filmmaker and musician currently developing a documentary on bourbon distillery owner Corky Taylor, exploring the intersection of legacy, craftsmanship, and Southern storytelling. Alongside this project, Woods is revisiting his roots in music with a reunion of his 1990s band The Vegas Cocks, reconnecting with the energy and grit that defined his early creative years, and exploring the intersection of gothic americana and cosmic blues in his current project, The 31st Floor, .
A graduate of Belmont University with a bachelor’s degree in music and a Master of Fine Arts from Queens University, Charlotte, Woods built a diverse artistic career spanning film, theater, and music. He wrote The Return of the Grievous Angel, a one-act play produced by the Greenhouse Theater Project, From 1987 to 1999, he was deeply immersed in the Nashville music scene, performing in a succession of bands that reflected the city’s evolving sound—from the industrial edge of Kickback, through the rock-driven China Black, and finally the visceral swagger of The Vegas Cocks and The Bomb Pops.
Woods’ musical lineage runs deep. He began performing in local venues with The Gene Woods Band, led by his father, and with his aunt Moetta, who opened for (and played piano with) Jerry Lee Lewis in venues from Memphis to Las Vegas. After stepping back from touring, Woods carried his creative curiosity into literature, opening a bookstore in Memphis, Tennessee, where he continued cultivating a life shaped by art, storytelling, and the American South’s raw cultural pulse.

Mike Delevante recently released his debut album, September Days, on Truly Handmade Records, a label founded by Guy Clark LLC’s board of directors (including Grammy-winning author, producer, and filmmaker Tamara Saviano, who fell in love with the album at first listen). Not many artists release their first solo record two decades after their debut album but that’s the case for Delevante, who spent the 1990s recording and touring as half of trailblazing Americana duo the Delevantes with his older brother Bob. The duo’s acclaimed releases on Rounder and Capitol records in that era made a splash — Long About That Time (Rounder) was the first #1 debut album on Gavin’s newly created Americana radio chart —and found them touring with like-minded artists including John Prine, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Levon Helm and others. So, while it’s hardly the first musical endeavor for Delevante, September Days is an important step for a musician who’d never put the spotlight directly on himself, until now. Produced by Joe Pisapia, whose production credits include work with Ben Folds, Guster, k.d. lang and many others, the album’s shimmering guitars and instantly memorable melodies recall some of the 90’s best guitar pop artists (Matthew Sweet, Freedy Johnston, Ron Sexsmith, The Jayhawks and more).
That decision was a long time coming. The Delevante brothers were New Jersey natives who’ve made Nashville their home since the ‘90s, along with frequent collaborator and co-producer, Garry Tallent of the E Street Band. Mike had shifted gears, focusing on visual arts. Both he and his brother had studied art in college, with Bob also turning more toward visual projects in the 2000s, but Bob had also made three solo records along the way. It was Tallent who got the brothers back into music. He’d enlisted them to sing on his 2019 solo album More Like Me, then invited them to be part of a live show he was doing in Asbury Park with Southside Johnny and special guest Bruce Springsteen. They had such a blast that “I felt myself getting pulled back into it,” Mike says. The result was 2021’s A Thousand Turns. Its instantly appealing melodies and trademark sibling harmonies were a welcome return to form for the duo, whose mix of country and rock flowed naturally from brothers who came of age in New Jersey before moving to Nashville.

In 2000, Luna Halo was fronted by former Reality Check front man Nathan Barlowe and released their debut CD Shimmer on Christian music label Sparrow Records. Even though Shimmer was praised by critics, Luna Halo left Sparrow Records and the Christian music industry before recording their next album due to creative differences.
Barlowe replaced guitarist MacIntosh with his younger brother Cary Barlowe, Aaron Jenkins replaced bassist Brad Minor, and drummer Chris Coleman replaced Jonathan Smith, completing the lineup for the new Luna Halo.
Rumors of an imminent major label deal began to surface in 2004, and a deal with DreamWorks,[2] was announced prematurely, but later proved to be untrue, after negotiations broke down. The band released another EP, Wasting Away (originally recorded as a demo for DreamWorks) and opened shows for artists Velvet Revolver, Hoobastank, Collective Soul, Ours, Needtobreathe and Family Force 5.
In 2005, Luna Halo were signed to American Recordings and began work on their second album, Luna Halo. Originally scheduled for a Summer 2006 release, the album was plagued with delays. This was due to American Recordings owner Rick Rubin's departure from Warner Bros to Columbia Records.The album was finally released in late 2007.
On November 13, 2012, lead singer Nathan Barlowe announced that Luna Halo would be playing their final show on December 8, 2012, at 12th and Porter in Nashville, TN. This show would mark not only the band's final show, but also their twelve-year anniversary celebration.
Their song 'I'm Alright' from their 2007 album was also featured inside Flatout: Ultimate Carnage as a part of the soundtrack.
After a seven-year hiatus, on February 11, 2022 Luna Halo performed a sold out show at the Mercury lounge in Nashville, Tennessee. They announced during their show that they only had two days to prepare for this concert.
Luna Halo signed a multi-album deal with Spirit Music Nashville/Fluid Music Revolution in June 2024 and is currently working on new material to be released in the Fall of 2024.

Sunshine Grocery was the natural foods market that opened on the seedy fringe of Music Row in 1972, moved to more spacious digs on Belmont Boulevard in 1989, and was purchased by the Denver-based Wild Oats company in 1998. To the great dismay of neighbors and loyal customers, the Wild Oats/Sunshine store on Belmont ceased to be.
This is the story of Sunshine Grocery as told by one of the founders, Bruce Mitchell.

"I believe music can save souls."
Angie Vertti arrived to Cabo in 2015, she quit a 9 to 5 job and decided to pick up her music career. She likes to say that “music found me”.
It didn’t take long after her arrival to be called up to the Cabo Wabo and other popular hot spots and trendy bars. Her band pushed me to challenging rock songs, such as; Metallica, Iron Maiden, Journey, Van Halen, Toto, Queen, you name it! The biggest voices in Rock history.
She was called up on stage by Sammy Hagar, the “Red Rocker” sharing the stage with him on about 3 occasions. And of course thanks to him taking her under his wing her career had a major boost.
In 2019 she did a 6 month contract on Celebrity Cruises. That gave her the opportunity to travel the world. In 2023 she attended the NAMM in LA. There she jammed with a street performer and the video became viral on Facebook, Youtube and TikTok with over 5 million views. 2023 also granted her the dream to be on stages of the Whiskey a Go-Go, The Viper Room and The Rainbow on The Hollywood Strip. That opened doors and opportunities to have more presentations in LA, Vegas and San Diego.
Now she has moved to Nashville and looking to continue on her music journey. "I can assure you that I can rock a place like a hurricane!"

After a promising start in the music world, Doc Downs faced an unexpected battle with MS that sidelined his budding career for a decade. But his passion for music never wavered. Now, with a renewed spirit and the fire to perform, he's back on stage, leading a powerhouse trio with drummer Nathan Fleming and bassist Jimmy Flynn. Together, they blend raw emotion and skilled musicianship, delivering energy packed, modern blues music that connects with the heart and soul.
The Next Round is the next new thing for musician Doc Downs. Formerly the bassist for several well-loved Nashville rock bands, including Dreaming in English and Kim’s Fable, Doc has been in the music scene for over two decades. However, life took an unexpected turn for Doc when his ability to play professionally was impaired by Multiple Sclerosis. Eight years passed while he struggled with the frustration of losing his ability to maneuver a fret board and make a bass or a guitar hum like he’d done for decades. Then a pandemic hit, and while the outside world hit pause, Doc found time to focus inward. The desire to play again started to outweigh the frustration of no longer having the dexterity he once found effortless. Guitar in hand and ego laid aside, his fingers found the strings again and songs began to flow. . . but this time he played the blues. With a little encouragement from lifelong friends in the industry, Doc got back on a stage and started recording again. His gratitude to be able to play again is what spearheaded his next band, Doc Downs and The Next Round, and blues fans have started to take notice.

As a female artist in Nashville, history suggests that the quickest path to success is somehow aligning oneself with one of the major publishers, producers, songwriters, labels, or managers that are the heart of Music Row. So what do you do if you are a female artist in Nashville, and also happen to be the granddaughter of musical icon, Willie Nelson?
You hook up with an independent producer and veteran of the rock/punk scene, write some songs that are part Loretta Lynn, part Cheap Trick, and form the Raelyn Nelson Band.
"I don't really have any desire to be a 'solo-artist'. Everyone in my family who plays music has always placed a lot of importance on band chemistry, on stage, off stage and in the studio. Our band can almost read each other's minds. Why would I mess with that? We try to keep it simple: Write songs we like, record them, make a video, then go out and play them for people."- Raelyn Nelson

Born in 1966 in San Antonio, TX, King Williams was moved around a lot as a young lad. The moves landed the family in Glenview, IL, a suburb of Chicago. After overcoming the urge to pronounce the “S” at the end of “Illinois”, he moved more freely in northern society and came to genuinely love the city itself. In that time, the need to play music reared its spiny head and he learned how to play bass. Sinking his teeth into it, he became somewhat competent and enjoys playing to this day. King noted, however, that that wasn’t likely to provide a steady income, so he created a fall back plan, becoming a recording engineer. A short stint at Columbia College under renown engineer and curmudgeon Malcom Chisholm gave king much of what he’d need to succeed as a recordist, though it was as yet unrealized. These two career paths crisscrossed and caromed off each other, but the lure of steadier work as an engineer eventually landed King a job in Nashville, TN at famed RCA recording studio “A”, then known as “Javelina Recording”. After a few years of that, King went freelance and spent much of his time at local houses such as OceanWay, The Tracking Room and, Sound Emporium. In 2004, King was approached by recently minted Music Director at The Grand Ole Opry, Steve Gibson, to join the staff as broadcast and post production mixer. King was hired on and had been the responsible engineer for that seat for the last 20 years, and will likely still be in that chair through The Opry’s 100th anniversary, which will be celebrated throughout 2025.

I went to Roberto Venn School of Luthiery in 1997. Worked at Vince's Backstage music in Lafayette, La. until 2000. I then moved to the Hamptons, which was a mistake for my career. Ended up working other jobs, as well as repair to pay the bills. 2002 Moved to Nashville and ended up working for a company in Franklin that did factory refurbishments and Warranty repairs. I also had my own small shop and did a little touring with small bands. In December 06 I started working for Gruhn and was there till Aug. 2024.

At Gruhn, I was a Repairman and Appraiser. I was tasked with going through the Electric instruments to inspect for originality. One of the repairs I did a lot of was Pickup rewinds. I've been rewinding pickups since 1999. Although I got most of my experience at Gruhn. I started building Pickups around 05. I have built and rewound pickups for a lot of folks In Nashville. Mostly players. Issac Brock of Modest Mouse uses my pickups in the Wicks guitars he uses in the studio and on tour. One of the Tele's Jack White uses in the Studio has one of my rewinds in the bridge position.
I've worked for Songwriters like Kent Blazy (Garth Brooks, Patti Loveless, Chris Young), and producers like Mickey Jack Cones (Carrie Underwood, George Strait, etc.). I've worked with Jack White doing repairs, customization, and Tour Support since 2010. The cover of one of his 45's features him, one of the guitars I customized, and the Muppets. Through Gruhn I worked on instruments owned by a myriad of stars. I also curate the Private collection of the CEO of Gibson, Cesar Gueikian. As well as help take care of instruments at several Studios.

Singer-Songwriter Butch Rice sings with all the colors of love and loss. With every melody, the heartstrings resound as if his acoustic guitar has been handled by one too many, left slightly bruised and worn, but stronger in character and warmer in sound. His rich falsetto radiates warmth, adding powerful depth to each heartfelt word he sings. All the overwhelming desires of the heart, Butch Rice understands. Based in Louisville, KY, His soulful acoustic pop fills the air with themes each of us can identify.
He has shared the stage with the talented artists Edwin McCain, Augustana, David Mead, Shawn Mullins, Matthew Ryan, and Vanessa Carlton. He is a past recipient of an ASCAP plus award. He has been featured in Performing Songwriter Magazine's DIY Top 12, and selected for the Perfoming Artist Roster of the Kentucky Arts Council to represent the state of Kentucky. Rice has stuck to his path and developed into one of the most unique singer-songwriters of his era, all the while developing a following who eagerly take to heart his melodic stories in song. If music is the tale of our emotions, our lives, then Butch Rice is one of our truest storytellers. Listen and embrace each moment.

While The FBR is now a sextet that includes guitarist Evan Opitz, keyboardist Brandon Mordecai, bassist C.J. Singer and former Goo Goo Dolls drummer Mike Malinin, it started with McConaha and Hunter performing as a duo. They met at an open-mike night in 2014 at what was then known as Puckett’s Grocery and Restaurant in Leipers Fork, a small rural community 30 minutes southwest of Nashville popular with songwriters and musicians. It was during a period of time when McConaha had discovered the music of Leonard Cohen, who had lived in Leipers Fork himself in the late ’60s and early ’70s.
The group takes its name from another song by Cohen, “Famous Blue Raincoat,” which he recorded in Nashville in September 1970, and that is what the duo began calling themselves after Cohen passed before later shortening it to “The FBR.”
One might expect a group named after a Leonard Cohen song to be a folk act or maybe folk-rock, but that’s not the case with The FBR. Decades ago, they would have been considered Southern rock, and that’s still not a bad description of their music because it’s essentially gospel-flavored blues rock with a little boogie on the side. The FBR may work some classic musical territory, but that’s not to suggest they’re retro. The music on Ghost has a timeless and authentic quality that transcends its roots and gives it a powerful relevance in the postmodern musical landscape.
At the heart of The FBR’s sound is McConaha’s enchanting and soulful voice, which can go from a whisper to a roar. In what seems like a contradiction, her voice is both familiar and different. But despite her obvious vocal gifts, she didn’t move to Nashville to be a singer.
McConaha also counts Emmylou Harris, Robert Plant, Lucinda Williams, Adele and Amy Winehouse among other vocalists who influenced her. Some have compared McConaha to Maria Muldaur of “Midnight at the Oasis” fame, and their voices do have a similar flowing and sensual quality. On Ghost, the power and allure of her voice is on full display.
Work on the album began in 2019 with co-producer Matt Sepanic, and those sessions, which featured backing from studio musicians, yielded three songs — “Rain On,” “Still On The Run” and the album opener and first single, “Before I Drown.” Six other songs, including the next two singles — “Empty Room” and a mashup of a pair of traditional numbers “Hurricane”/“House of the Rising Sun,” which has become a showstopper in their live performances — were recorded with their band in June 2022. “Skies of Donegal Blue,” which features just McConaha and Hunter and provides a glimpse into what they sounded like as a duo, was cut in California in spring 2023 with producer Jim Scott, who also mixed the album.

Jessica Bleu is a self-taught artist whose large-scale acrylic paintings are a fusion of vibrant color, dynamic form, and emotional depth. With a style that blends semi-realistic imagery and abstract flow, her works invite viewers into a world where imagination and intuition meet. Growing up in a creatively nurturing, and fairly tech free household, Jessica’s artistic journey began with music, as a classically trained pianist, and evolved into today's unique visual expression deeply influenced by her polymodal synesthesia.
Bleu’s career is as varied as her art, and has been enriched by extensive travel, both domestically and internationally, as well as her deep curiosity for all things living. Each experience adds layers of meaning to her art, which she creates intuitively, often in live settings where she channels the energy of the moment into her brushstrokes.
Currently working from her home studio, Bleu balances her creative life with homeschooling and gardening, always driven by the process of internal and external exploration over the final outcome. Her work is a reflection of her journey, with each piece telling a story of growth and transformation.

Multi-discliplinary artist Buddy Jackson has been working in the visual arts in Nashville, Tennessee for over 40 years. While sculpture is his primary medium, the Knoxville native also works in painting, photography and graphic design and has work placed in private and public collections all over the world and has been published in international media. Among hundreds of honors, Buddy won two Grammys for Album cover art and design.
Born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, Buddy attended Young and Doyle High schools and attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, pursuing a major in Oil Painting and minor in Sculpture.
“A representation of the human form is the oldest man-made object ever found, and in the millennia that have ensued, the impulse to recreate ourselves has never waned. Much like a classic blues song or a fingerprint, as similar as they may seem to be, no two manifestations of these things can ever be the same. For as long as I have memory, I have always been attracted solely to rendering people as a vehicle to express the joy, heartache, idiocy, courage, insecurities, quirks and countless other emotions and attractions that we all share.”

From Jack White to the Ryman Auditorium, Steven Tyler to Reba McEntire, Loretta Harper Is leaving her mark on the music industry one bespoke design at a time. Having started her career in costume design for clubs where she was a dancer, Harper’s experience runs the gamut from film, television, and music videos to world tours, commercial productions, award shows, and documentaries, preservation, and conservation.
A performer herself, Harper’s passion for fashion design stems from a deep
understanding of the rich history of textiles and the fashion industry, as well as what her clients need in order to do their jobs to the best of their ability. “I always take the environment into consideration. It is my job to keep my client comfortable at all times. It doesn’t matter if you’re a singer on tour or an individual coming to me for a gala gown, if you're not comfortable in your clothes, you’re not going to be yourself. When it comes to designing, I draw my inspiration from whoever the person is that I’m working with. They must be the original who stands out and sets the standards.”
Harper places equal emphasis on historical accuracy and proper preservation in her conservation work. She is also the textile archivist for the Elvis Presley estate. She is no longer full time with Reba but we did 6 years working together. As well she has acted as conservationist and consultant on countless historical projects, restoring pieces for the enjoyment of generations to come.

Sarah Mason Walden embarked on a deeply personal journey as she began to craft her inaugural studio album. Collaborating with Josh Kaler at Pentavarit Studios in Nashville, she poured her heart and soul into every note, infusing her music with her distinctive authenticity.
During the process. Sarah found herself recalling the challenges she faced during her early twenties, navigating the Nashville music industry where producers and executives often sought more than her musical talent alone. She was determined not to compromise her vision, so the songs lay dormant for many years as she moved on to a successful career in art and design. She revisited these songs born from her own experiences, reclaiming them from the shadows of her past. The many months spent in the studio became a poignant act of self-discovery and empowerment, granting her younger self a voice while offering her present self the invaluable opportunity to hone her new role as producer under the mentorship of the remarkable Josh Kaler.
Joined by a host of talented musicians, including Jump, Little Children's Matt Bivins on accordion, Ward Williams on cello, and Jonathan Gray on upright bass, as well as Slow Runner's Michael Flynn on piano, the album resonates with a rich tapestry of sound. Special guest Nenad Leonart contributes his talent with historical harpsichords and organs from Switzerland. Kevin Max of dc Talk and Sad Astronauts, accompanied by friends Jessica Bleu and Rebecca Seaver, lends his voice to a stirring rendition of the traditional song "In the Pines." Mark Robertson, of bands such as The Ragamuffin Band and Th'Legendary Shack Shakers, adds his expertise on the upright bass.
Sarah also crafted the packaging for the limited edition vinyl and CDs with the same love and attention, with hidden messages and symbolism that tie into her other endeavors. An art book of the lyrics is on the way, which connects to the immersive world of her Ramshackle book trilogy. A collection of textiles, murals, wallpapers, and homewares will be released themed to the album's tracks.
With meticulous care, the album was mastered by Parachute Mastering and will be released on July 26th. The Reclamation promises a warm and immersive listening experience for audiences. Sarah's debut offering stands as a testament to her unwavering dedication to her craft and her steadfast commitment to artistic integrity.

Kelli Owens Hutton made a record called Soccer Trophy and in the process created a genre called MomCore. Soccer Trophy is brutal truth. Two minute guitar driven rock and roll songs about children, middle-age, marriage and all the shit. It’s also funny, revealing and moving.
Kelli partnered with Grammy-nominated (in children’s music, but still...) producer Liam Davis. They made the record in her Chicago home studio, aka the laundry room. A multi-instrumentalist Kelli played every instrument except the drums. Ok, she played bass on like half the songs too.
A Berklee College Of Music grad and major-label wash out (Atlantic records but who’s counting?) Kelli took a long time off making music to raise her kids. They are a pain in the ass but she loves them anyway. The Dog of course comes first. Somewhere in there is also her husband.
The second single “Shut Up” will be released August 2024 and the full record will be released in Fall of 2024.

Now, Bekx has launched her career into the music industry as she draws off her childhood years spent camping, surfing, horseback riding, hunting and fishing, as well as her years of vocal training,performances, competitions and so much time just doing what she loves–singing.

As a songwriter and performer, she summons both the good times and the challenging as she seeks to breathe life into her music and invite others to feel the emotions behind her powerful vocals.Bekx has come a long way since Atlanta first left its mark. She has lived in multiple cities from coast to coast and met many diverse and influential people. In early 2019, the journey led her to Nashville, where she plans to leave her mark on listeners and labels alike. Already in her short time in Music City, she has been in the studio with Grammy-winning country artist Rebecca Lynn Howard and rising hip-hop star JC. She has worked alongside veteran artist & producer, Lincoln “Barnone” Morris. She released her first single, “Scissors”, in June 2019, and confidently celebrated its rise to #51 on the Music Row charts.

The Floating Men Media Inquiries: Jeff Holmes jeffreynholmes@comcast.net The Floating Men Return for Three Sold Out Shows in April
Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, The Floating Men were among Nashville’s most prolific and beloved indie rock bands. Starting out as a hard-touring acoustic rock trio in 1990, the band eventually blossomed into a 7-piece juggernaut that included some of the hottest Americana, rock, and jazz virtuosos in town. “We kept attracting major players till we ended up with David Steele, Chris Cottros, Jody Nardone, Andra Moran and Steve Ebe. As a writer, that kind of musicianship meant I could write anything I wanted, so I did,” co-founders Jeff Holmes chuckles. Fellow co-founder Scot Evans laughs, adding, “…for better or worse.” The Floating Men haven’t released a new album or performed live since 2010, but their fans, self-dubbed “The Floatilla,” are as enthusiastic as ever, taking to social media to discuss lyrics, share memorabilia, and swap bootlegs. With the band’s blessings, a couple of key instigators went so far as to mix and press two live albums in 2021 from archived recordings. In 2023, the band released the much-anticipated live album “Dreamland,” recorded at an over-the-top performance in 2004. The Floating Men will perform live at 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville April 12, 13 and 14, 2024. April 12 and 13 both sold out in one minute each, so the band closed off April 14 to their core supporters on Patreon. “The vision is still evolving but the general trajectory is to focus on fan favorites from the early years with perhaps a few new surprises. But anything could and probably will happen.” Says Holmes with a mischievous grin.

“Born a photographer, raised as a musician."
Madison Thorn is a third generation photographer born and raised in the music scene of St. Louis, MO; she has now lived in Nashville, TN for close to 5 years. Thorn brings her artistic view to all things music related such as promotional work, editorials, album artwork, live shows, and recording sessions.
In her 12 years working as a freelance photographer, Thorn has photographed an extensive list of artists that includes Dolly Parton, The Beach Boys, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, The Herculeons (John Cowan & Andrea Zonn), John Prine, Lyle Lovett, Wynonna Judd, Todd Snider, Mary Gauthier, Marty Stuart, Tommy Emmanuel, Frankie Valli, Jim Lauderdale, Them Vibes, Margo Price, Béla Fleck & The Flecktones, Poco, Oliver Wood, James McMurtry, and Graham Nash.
While Thorn takes great pride in her music work, she also has an immense passion for photojournalism; working closely with Hands on Nashville to document their heroic undertakings for the community and most recently documenting the Covenant School shooting protests, the sub-sequent unfolding of “The Tennessee Three”, as well as the Special Session.
During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Thorn began her photo series “High Risk Humans”. The series intended to showcase the stories and faces of the broad range of individuals that fell into the “High Risk” health category; those that were most likely to be killed by Covid-19. Interviewing close to 50 individuals in the Nashville community, the series gained world-wide support; earning Thorn a nomination for “East Nashvillian of The Year” and creating a community built on empathy and kindness.
Thorn spent the majority of 2022 working for Dolly Parton on her forthcoming photo book, “Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones”, due to be on shelves mid-October. The book will highlight the music legend’s most iconic costumes across the span of her career and Thorn has over 60 of her own images of the garments included.

Described as sounding “like The Stooges having a baby with Stone Temple Pilots” by Classic Rock Magazine, the group are welcoming their highly-anticipated fourth LP Magical Touch, which includes 11 songs that showcase a refreshing new approach that is sure to perk up your ears. Magical Touch will be released on July 26, 2023, which is exactly 11 years to the date of their first release.
The Wans’ new eleven-song LP, Magical Touch, was co-produced, recorded and mixed by Michael Fahey at Starbird Sound in Nashville using vintage recording equipment and recorded live with minimal overdubs. With two new additions to the band, Akshay Narang and Noah Denney, it was sure to add to the expansion of the sonic qualities. Noah Denney, formerly of Tyler Bryant and The Shakedown and who originally played bass in The Wans, now sits behind the drums. “The new sound is so exciting for me. We’ve known Akshay for over a decade and bonded over everything from Nine Inch Nails to Depeche Mode so it was only natural to ask him to play some synth and guitar with the band.”, says Kerr.
The hard-touring Wans have been on the rise for a while now, playing major festivals like Austin City Limits, Voodoo Fest, Forecastle and Hangout Fest, and sharing bills with Pearl Jam, Beck, and Queens of the Stone Age. They recorded their 2014 album He Said She Said, with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, Rival Sons), the acclaimed record landed them press at USA Today, NME, Consequence of Sound, The AV Club, and more. Not only that, the band's music has been featured everywhere from major motion picture Point Break and TV shows like Nashville, Longmire, and Necessary Roughness to a powerhouse commercial for BMW'S 4 Series Gran Coupe, which was soundtracked by the band's muscular riff rocker "Black Pony."
“This record feels like my novella, a journey similar to Steinbecks ‘East of Eden’. It took 4 years to write and a week to record.” says Kerr. There’s no doubt that The Wans wore their influences proudly on their sleeves, like Queens of the Stone Age and Nirvana, but this record feels more precise and like nothing we’ve heard before from the band. There are certainly hints of 80’s and 90’s Brit-Pop influences, but the songwriting has become more focused and that’s not an overthought.” Kerr continues, “My dad, Tony Kerr, has been my main songwriting partner since I was 16. Some Father-Son’s bond over fishing, but we bond over writing songs. It’s become effortless when we write together.”
Bassist Thomas Bragg states, “Simon and I have been so excited with what’s going on in the Irish/British music scene in the last few years. Bands like Idles and Fontaines D.C have made some of the best records of the last decade and I think that definitely had an effect on our music and this record.”
The Wans’ have always shared a brotherhood and love for making rock n’ roll, which is much needed in today’s overall climate and music scene. Lyrically, this record purposefully radiates self-awareness, love, and togetherness. “The Wans’ are everything to me. When it comes to the song’s they’re all we have.” says Kerr. The great Joe Strummer once said, “People have got to stop pretending they're not in the world. It's time to take that humanity back into the center of the ring and follow that for a time. Think on that. Without people you're nothing.”

Cora Jane is from a small town in upstate NY and now lives in Nashville after doing time in LA. She has always loved singing, and music in general and was obsessed with Brenda Lee growing up and wanted to be her (she met her when she was 13).
She went to Bard College for Art History where she was awarded a vocal scholarship, which allowed her to work closely with voice teacher Arthur Burrows. Cora also taught herself to play guitar her senior year, which was really serendipitous. After school, she played in a band with her parents and did local farmers markets and cafés. A few years later, she pushed herself to try and write songs and fell in love with the challenge of making something equal parts meaningful, candid and catchy. She took a few classes at the Songwriting School of Los Angeles in Burbank, where her teacher, Kevin Fisher, became a co-writer and friend, helping her pen my first release Growing Pains.
Cora got her first official songwriting cut with Lying to Myself on Kalie Shorr’s record, Open Book: Unabridged, which was a Rolling Stone Country Music Pick. Aside from music, she loves people, beer, exploring historic places and weird towns, hanging out, talking about life/the universe, shopping and finally learning piano.

A native of Calhoun, Georgia, David Chattam’s acting career began purely by accident in 2001 at the tender age of 32. While working a job in the Information Technology field in Nashville, TN, and with no background in, or no aspirations for acting whatsoever, a co-worker convinced him to be an extra in the DreamWorks motion picture “The Last Castle” filming in Nashville. Fate stepped in and on David’s first day on set, he was bumped up to a principal role, and the next day found himself doing his very first movie scene ever with James Gandolfini and Delroy Lindo!
Two years later, David gave up his position in the world of corporate America, and embarked on a full-time career as an actor. Since then, David has appeared in numerous films, television shows, television and radio commercials, and even has a few audiobook recordings under his belt. He has also amassed an impressive career on stage, working with such noted theatre companies as Nashville Shakespeare Festival, Tennessee Repertory Theatre, and Nashville Children’s Theatre. David has even lent his vocal talents for an exhibit in the National Museum of African American History in Washington, DC. Since relocating from Nashville to Los Angeles in 2015, David’s career has continued to flourish and he looks forward to the new and exciting challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Madam Who?, GenZ's cool aunt, defies expectation. Despite a harrowing past that includes brain cancer, a brutal divorce, and nearly drowning, this unusual pop/rock music artist keeps a positive outlook and sense of humor, while sharing her life advice through her lyrics. In her quirky and catchy melodies, you may hear notes of The Beatles, The B-52's, and The Beastie Boys. This year she caught the attention of Good Morning America who aired a segment on her musical persona to their 1.7 million viewers. Through COVID she performed online and on TV. Currently she is opening for national acts and working with a London based record company.
Madam Who?, born Audra Coldiron, moved to Nashville to attend Belmont University and pursue rock stardom. While earning her music business degree, she formed her first band, Merry Madness. The pop/rock four-piece toured the Southeast and managed to get on Star Search before televised talent shows served as short cuts to the big time.
Next she formed Audra & the Antidote, known for their wild outfits and theatrical stage show that included minute-long handstand to a classical piano piece. With their hit, Jenny's Got a Boyfriend, Interscope Records' Jimmy Iovine flew them to LA to perform on his new USA network TV show, FarmClub. There they shared a stage with national acts, Creed and Godsmack.
A year and a half later, the same song landed them in the top 10 for the very first American Music Awards New Music Awards. They were to play the first day of the most prestigious music conference at NYC's Bowery Ballroom to an industry-and-invitation only crowd with Dick Clark presenting. The flight was scheduled for September 12, 2001 – the day all planes were grounded due to the events of the day before. The event was rescheduled for a month later and because of conflicts, the show had to be the day before, Dick Clark couldn't present and only firemen were in the audience. The band had to cancel a headlining show in their hometown's music conference, which ended up getting them black balled. Despite Music Row Magazine naming them one of the top 5 unsigned bands in the city, they broke up.

Korby Lenker is a roots-music Renaissance man. A prolific songwriter for more than two decades, he's spent his entire adulthood in a creative whirl, juggling multiple roles — solo artist, road warrior, published author, actor, screenwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and storyteller — along the way.
It's been a unique path, beginning in Korby's hometown of Twin Falls, Idaho — where he sang old hymns in church, discovered classic rock and New Wave in his high school, hosted his first band practice in a buddy's basement — and eventually leading him to East Nashville, his adopted home since 2007. Somewhere in the middle, he launched his solo career as a bluegrass-loving, flat-picking folkie, steadily expanding beyond those roots with each album.

Terrell Thornhill was raised in southern Mississippi in a land he says was “devoid of all culture.” Nevertheless, he is self-taught in his artistic disciplines and doesn’t remember a time when he did not want to be an artist. He has lived in middle Tennessee since 1993 and currently lives in the Arts District, downtown Nashville with his Australian Shepard, Shiloh.
Reduction Method Screen Printing, or “old-school,” means using methods from the early 1900s, before photographic stencils were invented, when every part of the process was done by hand. Many of these earlier processes have been sadly forgotten and lost to time. It’s the same methods once used to mass-produce colorful show cards, large travel posters and world war propaganda campaigns.
Determined to revive a lost art and learn what it had to teach me has led to the discovery of a plethora of wonderful creative options that simply do not exist using modern methods. Printmaking, especially screen-printing as an art form appeals to me because it is very much a combination of engineering and art. The process requires machinery, calibration, precise measurements, chemistry and ingenuity while leaving room at each stage for trial-and-error and experimentation.
Reduction Method Screen Printing definitely leads to more “happy accidents.” Effects, only revealed when I take a left-turn somewhere in the process. I try to reproduce these effects in subsequent art pieces. Each piece, building on the techniques and lessons learned from the piece before. Screen printing via the lost art route, teaches me patience, perseverance and more often than I’d like to admit, humility.
When I’m struck by an idea for an art piece; it’s like waking up from a dream that you just can’t shake. Often it’s a thought or a simple phrase overheard in casual conversation; a flashing moment captured by a random glimpse out the passenger window – it stays with me until I put it down in a way that is concrete.
Most often, what inspires me isn’t exactly what I heard or saw, but more of what I think it might have been. The goal is to translate this concept into a work that is meaningful, beautiful and leaves the viewer with more questions than answers. That’s what good art does; it starts a conversation without words and asks, “So, what do you think?”

Born in Alaska, raised in Oregon and settled in Nashville, Tennessee, Michael Conley is a storyteller’s storyteller. With his whisky-soaked vocals and intricate guitar work, Conley lifts the veil on the seemingly mundane and takes the listener on a journey through the dark, underbelly of American life. Motivated by a desire to stray from the “well worn path” of modern songwriting and breathe new life into familiar concepts, he highlights the voices of vagabonds, barflies, hookers and even in one case, a jukebox who falls in love with a bartender.

Natasha Blaine is a Nashville-based singer and songwriter from Seattle, Washington. She blends roots in vocal jazz with soul, R&B, and pop music—citing great influence from artists like D'Angelo, Lianne La Havas, Amy Winehouse, and Emily King. Her songwriting, described as "direct, unfiltered and emotionally immediate,” buttery vocals, and energizing live shows have quickly caught the attention of the Nashville music scene.
At six years old, Blaine started singing jazz. Her grandmother kept Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday records on repeat, teaching Blaine the words to old standards. And when she wouldn’t stop singing them during kindergarten, her grandmother put her in voice lessons. Blaine picked up guitar at nine, sparking a love for songwriting before she even hit middle school.
In 2018, while Blaine spent a few months studying literature in London, England, she made the decision to move from Seattle to Nashville, Tennessee. She wound up attending Vanderbilt University, getting a degree in literature and becoming the school’s first vocal jazz student. In 2021, she became heavily involved in the famous Nashville writers’ round circuit, writing songs and gigging at night.

Before 1994, lower Broadway in Nashville had long since kissed its glory days goodbye and was instead the province of peep shows and petty crime. But 1994 was the year that Greg Garing, young but already a veteran musician who'd played with legends like Bill Monroe, Jimmy Martin, John Hartford and many more, emerged at the forefront of a band of insurgent musicians who were out to reclaim the lost soul of classic Nashville country music. Staking out the back room at Tootsie's, Greg proceeded to launch a live music revolution that included fellow travellers BR-549 and others, and soon the crowds were flocking to lower Broadway once again. Of course, no one could imagine that it would turn into what it has now become. Nevertheless, GREG GARING is a Nashville underground legend who is internationally respected, and counts people like Lucinda Williams, Marianne Faithful and Shane MacGowan as fans. Come see why Johnny Cash said of him, "He's the best country singer I've heard in 30 years." Only $5 and you won't hear better music anywhere else in America that night.

Megg Farrell, was born and bred in New York City but her sound reaches far beyond the confines of Manhattan. Her voice is exceptional and is colored with a variety of influences she holds dear including Billie Holiday, Anita O’day, Patsy Cline, Edith Piaf, Emmylou Harris, Loretta Lynn, and Bessie Smith. Her music is American to the core in that it is ever evolving and reflecting the changes surrounding it. When Sweet Megg formed they were strictly an old-time jazz band from the burgeoning traditional scene in New York. Megg was in love with the blues and early jazz and was performing regularly around town and at swing dances around the country. After moving to Nashville she has released throwback old-style traditional swing country music on her newest record, 'Christine's Daughter'. Her latest release is a collection of New Western Swing called 'My Window faces South'.

Hannah Bethel is that rare artist who blurs lines between Americana, country, and rock. Her musical artistry is a reflection of who she is: a fierce, independent, wild, free and untamed spirit. After dedicating her life to music, Bethel has now risen to claim her place at the vanguard of independent singer/songwriters in Nashville’s vibrant music scene. Her music captures the essence of her signature sound by blending elements of the many genres and styles that have influenced her writing and creative expression. Being fearless and unafraid to bare her deepest feelings in her songs is a reflection of her lifestyle, from solo backpacking in the deserts of Arizona and the mystical Joshua Tree, to hiking snow-peaked mountains in Alaska, Bethel lives her life to the fullest. She has experienced deep love, great loss and the healing power of personal growth and redemption – and she translates those life experiences to listeners though her songs, music videos and live performances.
Bethel was born in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin where as a child she studied dance and appeared in theater performances. She attended elementary school in nearby Oakfield, before moving to Houghton, Michigan where she went to middle and high school. She grew up listening to Country and Seventies Rock music. Drawing on influences from Tom Petty, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and Willie Nelson, among others, she spent her teenage years traveling the upper Midwest performing at fairs, bars, talent shows, coffee houses, shopping malls and Country Western shows.
Bethel’s career trajectory took a sharp upward turn following the release of her single and music video “Train” in October, 2018. A deeply personal song, “Train” was the beginning of a new chapter in her musical career, and one that saw her firmly taking the reins of her musical expression and how it is produced and presented. Bethel and “Train” were selected as a CMT Music “Artist Discovery” where Bethel and “Train” were featured across all CMT broadcast, online and social media platforms.
2022 has seen Bethel release three singles, “Bad News Baby,” “Godspeed, Los Angeles” and “Someone’s Woman,” all from her highly anticipated new EP, ‘Until the Sun Comes Back Around.’ The six-song project, released in late March, has received critical acclaim from media across America and Europe, and inclusion on Americana, folk, and country editorial playlists at major outlets across the digital spectrum. On the heels of her latest music, she took home the award for top “Female Vocalist of the Year” (all genres) at the 2022 Appalachian Arts and Entertainment Awards.

According to Paul Deakin, just as he began his drumming career at age 6, he managed to temporarily end the support of his parents by breaking his drumheads right out of the gate. Not long after that, he realized that sports weren't his thing and the only way that he would attract any female attention was to follow in Ringo's footsteps…so he cheerfully recalls. Paul soon began private drum lessons and practiced every day…again challenging his parent's ability to deal with his new-found 'hobby'. He joined his first band at age 15 and quickly learned the difficulty of the music business but never wavered. Paul Deakin studied music at the University of Miami and along with perfecting his drumming skills, also studied mallets and after college, taught music for a bit in Miami. By age 30, Deakin, along with lead singer Raul Malo and bassist Robert Reynolds, formed The Mavericks. The band is now celebrating over 25 years together, have collected Gold and Platinum record awards, and in 1995, were the winner of the Grammy for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Deakin has also performed and recorded with other artists including David Mead, Matt King and Jason White. The Mavericks are currently signed to the Big Machine Label Group and are recording and planning tours for the upcoming year.

Born and raised in Rahway, New Jersey, Pisapia migrated to Nashville in the mid-1990s with his brother, the drummer Marc Pisapia, as the namesake members of Joe, Marc’s Brother. Following its Rick Clark- produced self-titled debut, the band quickly became progenitors of a burgeoning indie pop and rock scene that included artists such as Josh Rouse, David Mead and Lambchop. In 2000, the release of the Robin Eaton, Roger Moutenot and Brad Jones-produced Around the Year with Joe, Marc’s Brother cemented the band’s reputation as masters of the pop-rock genre. While Joe, Marc’s Brother as a unit now performs infrequently, Pisapia continues to record and perform as a solo artist.
As a singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist best known for his work as a member of Guster and k.d. lang and the Siss Boom Bang. He co- produced and co-wrote Guster’s 2006 release, Ganging Up On the Sun, an album that cracked Billboard’s Top 25 and was one of the best selling internet albums of the year. He did the same on the band’s 2010 Easy Wonderful. He produced and penned the title track for Lang’s 2011 album, Sing It Loud, and acted as music director for the accompanying tour.
As a producer and mixer, he’s worked on some of the finest indie rock and pop and Americana records to come out of Nashville in the last few years. Among his credits are: Ben Folds Five’s The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind, The Hush Kids (Self Titled,) Zac Clark (Self Titled,) Drew Holcolmb And The Neighbors’ Medicine and Souvenir, Chuck Mead’s Free State Serenade, Josh Rouse’s Love In The Modern Age, Courtney Jaye’s The Exotic Sounds Of Courtney Jaye, Matt Wertz’s While We’re Becoming, William Tyler’s Lost Colony E.P. and Paper Hats, The Silver Seas’ Alaska and ThePierces’ self-titled album. When the Grammy Award-winning band Fun. needed orchestral recording for its Grammy performance, they called on Pisapia.
In 2016 Pisapia collaborated with singer/ songwriter Kate York for the duet E.P. “Kate York And Joe Pisapia.” The song “All My Worry” was featured in the 2016 “Magnolia Mix Tape” vinyl release. 2018 was a watershed year for Pisapia as he released two full length solo albums.

Anthony Monaco began his painting journey in early 2013. Something about the simplicity of painting lines being so challenging was intriguing to him. A lot of late nights and early mornings turned a hobby into an obsession. While he loves the roots of the art of pinstriping, he has spent years trying to elevate it to more of a fine art feel. His goal has always been to create extravagant wall art that uses pinstriping as the focal point.

Faith Hill cut his song, “Give In To Me,” for the soundtrack album of the major motion picture Country Strong. Leighton Meester and Garrett Hedlund also sing the song in several onscreen visual performances, and their version climbed to #2 on the iTunes Soundtrack Top Songs Chart and #2 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart.He is writing and recording as a member of the Super-Hot-Buzz-Group “Loving Mary” which is also backing up Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler on his latest solo tour around the country.
Elisha is writing with Nashville’s hottest writers including Marti Frederiksen, Rob Hatch, Rich Redmond, Eric Halbig, Lance Miller, Jim McCormick, Lindsey Lee, Danny Myrick, Jason Matthews, Marshall Altman, 2014 American Idol winner Caleb Johnson, Billy Johnson, Billy Gibbons, and many others.

“As someone who has been immersed in the music industry for my whole life, I’m well-versed in the many options creatives face when it comes to taking full advantage of the earning potential of their work,” says Hoffman. “Joining Sound Royalties to help bring their services closer to music creatives is a no-brainer for me. A company that offers funding on all types of royalty streams without taking ownership, while offering the opportunity for ongoing cashflow is a valuable resource to my fellow musicians and others looking to grow and/or maintain their career in the music world.”

Ava Paige is one of those rare singer/songwriters that is an actual Nashville native. Born in the former Baptist Hospital, maybe all the music in the air entered her lungs in the very first breath she took, because she picked up her Dad's guitar when she was only six.
Paige calls Mount Juliet, Tennessee home. Aside from the fact that she doesn’t go to school with the majority of the kids her age, she lives a fairly normal life. She loves boating, fishing, golfing, drawing and all kinds of animals. Oh, and boots! “I live in boots, except on the boat.” Her Dad makes her wear flip flops on the boat.
Paige was diagnosed with Cancer in July 2019, but thankfully was received a clean bill of health and has kicked Lukemia's ass.
Currently, Paige is an independent songwriter and performer. She is constantly co-writing and working with charities sharing her battle and triumph over Cancer..

Laura Nicholson found her voice at a young age while watching her mother's family gather around a grand piano in Minneapolis, Minnesota singing songs by artists like James Taylor, Etta James and Carol King. She remembers learning how to harmonize with her grandparents at age four, while developing her smooth & melancholy voice. Nicholson began writing songs after receiving her first guitar at age 12. Fast-forward to college days when Nicholson first discovered Nashville, Tennessee. She was quickly swept under the wings of hit Singer-Songwriter and Monument Recording Artist, Cailyn Smith (Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, Meghan Trainor) who gracefully mentored the young artist in her songwriting and performance skills. Before she knew it, she was showcasing her new Nashville co-written songs at coffee houses near her college campus in St. Paul, MN. After selling out her first big show in downtown Minneapolis, Nicholson made the brave move cross-country to Music City. Today, Nicholson has honed her craft while creating with some of Nashville's finest songwriters, debuted her music at the Bluebird Cafe and has played Girls of Nashville - which showcases up and coming singer-songwriters. The independent artist has been preparing her next EP, and the first single, Bluebird recently won top 10 in the NSAI 21st Annual Song Contest out of 3000 submissions.

The Manuel”Manny” Cuevas family heritage in the fashion industry stems from the creation of handmade iconic looks since the 1950’s for artists and entertainers like The Rat Pack Elite, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Salvadore Dali, The Lone Ranger, Johnny Cash and countless more.
After helping relocate his father’s shop to Nashville, Manny was inspired by the success of the family business and renewed brand recognition gained from the move. He became more involved with the shop's client relationships and started to design and create more individual garments for those celebrity clientele. Manny worked with many of his fathers clientele making individual pieces for Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Jr., and Dwight Yoakam to name a few. Manny realized the full potential for the Manuel brand and was ready to create a collection and expand the family brand. Manny worked with a manufacturer to create the first large production of designs from the Manuel Shop. “The Manuel Collection” represented a unity and togetherness between both father and son and was the first time Manny began to learn about large manufactured production runs.
The launch of the Manuel Exclusive collection started the family’s Manuel brand PR buzz with articles written in “The New York Post”, “Flaunt Magazine”, “GQ”, “Vouge” & “Vanity Fair”. The following week a major marketing push occurred during Oscar Week in Los Angeles at a press and celebrity attended week long showing of the collection. The collection sold at many prominent boutiques across the country as well as Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdales. This experience exposed Manny to the full cycle of a large scale production of a fashion line. From the beginning concept drawings, CAD design, traveling the world sourcing material, working with the factories in Italy, on fabrication creating and managing budgets, producing a fashion show as well as other efforts for promoting and selling the collection, this experience gave Manny a unique insight to all phases of producing and running a fashion line.
In 2009 Manny began an endeavor to create a brand of his own, by continuing The living legacy as Owner and Designer of Wear It Out by Manny designing for such artists as; The Band Perry, Ronnie Dunn, Daniel Peck, Bridget Tatum, Kieth Gattis and Paul McDonald of American Idol. Manny is focused on creating new designs, hand made garments, producing limited run collections, as well as consulting for other fashion brands.

Chicken Ranch Records was founded by Mike Dickinson in Ruston, LA in 1994. The label's initial purpose was to release albums by the Habitual Sex Offenders, a sarcastic punk rock combo he was drumming for.
"We basically just wanted to put out a record with our name on it," Dickinson says. "Then it became a real label."
Dickinson first moved to Austin in 1996 but lived in Nashville from 2000 to 2004. It was there that he discovered the Clutters, a Farfisa-fueled garage rock quartet that's become one of Chicken Ranch's flagship acts along with Georgia-bred garage stalwarts the Woggles. The label's also tapped local bands like Jesus Christ Superfly and Automusik. Chicken Ranch's aesthetic has expanded to include Mr. Lewis & the Funeral 5's 21st century cabaret, as well as the gothic bluegrass soundscapes of Starlings, TN.
"I tend to gravitate toward eclectic music," Dickinson says. "I like bands that aren't afraid to do their own thing."

Her EP, Earthquake, which was released in Summer 2020, presents a collection of sonic diary entries that chronicle her personal, emotional, and spiritual growth over the past few years. She’s choosing joy in the midst of pain, love in the midst of uncertainty, and finding out who she truly is in the process.

Jamie Lee Thurston is a Nashville musician originally from Vermont. He has recorded 10 albums and had multiple record deals. His unique style of sledgehammer twang is influenced by artists from AC/DC to Merle Haggard. His aggressive guitar playing and mixture of country and southern rock is not sit down background music rather to stand up salute. Remove genre stamps and enjoy authentic music with a pounding chest.
We met through a mutual friend, a music producer. I worked with Jamie Lee for three years as a photographer and graphic designer documenting his shows and recording sessions as well as designing promotional materials. He is an amazing guy and always a pleasure to be around.
