WHAT'S HAPPENING

💘 Hello, February
February is the month of love, and after the ice storm Nashvillians endured in January, we are more than ready to welcome a warmer, happier stretch of days. We survived frozen roads, canceled plans, and way too much time indoors, and now we’re looking ahead with optimism. With the Full Snow Moon lighting up the sky on February 1st, we’re choosing to lean into fresh energy—and yes, we are fully ignoring the groundhog’s prediction. Hope springs eternal around here.

🎶 A Fond Farewell to The Parlor
We also want to share a bittersweet update: The Parlor has officially changed hands, and rounds will no longer be held there. We are incredibly grateful for the time we spent hosting music in that space. It was a special room filled with great songs, generous listeners, and unforgettable moments, and we truly appreciated everyone who came out and helped make those nights what they were.

🍺 Back at East Nash Beer Works
We’re excited to be back at East Nash Beer Works in Lebanon on February 6th, playing once again with Darrel Wallace. It will be great to hang out with him after what feels like a long winter pause—cold weather has put many gigs on hold lately, so getting back together to make some music feels especially good. Come raise a glass and thaw out with us.

🛋️ Live in the Living Room: Austin McKinley
We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming Live in the Living Room session with Austin McKinley on February 17th at 6:30 PM, streaming live on Facebook. We met Austin last September at the Cumberland Mountain Songwriters Festival, and he’s an exciting up-and-coming country artist with stories worth hearing. We can’t wait to sit down with him, talk songwriting, and dig into the inspiration behind his songs—join us for an evening of great conversation and even better music.

☕🎸 A New Songwriter Round at Just Love Coffee
We’re excited to host a special songwriter round on February 16th at Just Love Coffee in Hendersonville. This may turn into a once-a-month or even twice-a-month gathering—we’ll see how this first one goes! We’re really looking forward to hosting some great songwriters in a cozy setting, so come out, enjoy the show, and sip on some of the best coffee around.

❤️🎶 All the Love & Good Vibes
As we move through this month of love, we’re reminded how much music connects us—to each other, to our stories, and to the moments that matter most. Whether it’s a packed room, a cozy coffee shop, or a song shared online, these experiences fill our hearts in the best way. Thank you for being part of this community, for showing up, and for supporting live music. We’re feeling the love this February and can’t wait to share it with you—one song at a time.

Please check out the BuzzSlayer review of my album (link above).
"This album boasts some great songwriting that has touches of Southern Soul to it but also keeps to this folk-rock undertone and as you listen through the songs you begin to become attached to the record."
