Jeremy Dean plays the Bluebird Cafe..

2012-01-24T15:25:00.000-06:00

Jeremy Dean never seems to stop amazing me at how darn good he is... Jeremy played the Bluebird for his third time recently. He brought with him Dave LaGrande, Brittany Blaire and Jim Huish to make some seriously good music. He writes all his own music... sometimes with co-writers and sometimes without. Jeremy is the host of the NashvilleEar.com Songwriter Stage so I am pretty close with Jeremy and I can tell you that this is a songwriters songwriter! He lives and breaths music all day everyday.
Here is a link to his recent performance on the Bluebird stage. He is singing "This Door" a song that he and Janet Hattabaugh (both pictured above) wrote last year. An excellent song done perfectly with vocal backup from Brittany Blaire and Dave LaGrande on keyboard.

Girls with Guitars” – December 3, 2011

NASHVILLE, TN – The NashvilleEar.com Songwriter Stage at Bost Harley-Davidson , the first Saturday of every month from 10:00AM-2:00PM, is hosting a great themed event on December 3rd, featuring “Girls with Guitars.” This showcase will feature the talented ladies of songwriting who have graced the NashvilleEar.com Songwriter Stage this past year. They play, they sing, they write lyrics that reach us in different ways, and you will most certainly want to come out and enjoy this performance. These are all acoustic sets of original music and are free and open to the public. So, grab your friends and come on out! Each of these songwriters have gone through an online submission process to audition, which ensures the quality of talent for these events, as opposed to your average “open mic” stage. NashvilleEar.com encourages every writer to pursue their passion, but they also understand that hosting a quality event will encourage more venues to open their doors for great original music.
Bost Harley-Davidson will also be offering free coffee and donuts (while they last) on this day, and they will also have in-store specials you won’t want to miss. It IS the Christmas season…and if your dreams is owning a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, they are offering a great $1000 Bost Gift Card with the purchase of a New Big Twin!

Cody Walden is a true lyric wordsmith from Georgia.

2011-10-29T10:45:00.000-05:00

Cody is one of thoes guys who moved to Nashville to become a songwriter... well this guy has a better than average shot at songwriting for a living. Go listen to how it supposed to be done. Cody writes smooth lyrics that tell a story and paint a picture in your mind. I try to tell songwriters to do what Cody does already. Great songs each and every one. He has one about his Father called "Please Dont Call My Dad". One excellent piece of work. Give it a listen if you have a few minutes to enjoy songwriting at its best. Oh yeah he is one great finger picking guitar player also.... Enjoy!

Steve Clayton Guitar Picks

2011-06-16T21:06:00.003-05:00

We at NashvilleEar.com Songwriter Stage endorse the finest guitar picks in the world. Steve Clayton makes fine custom printed guitar picks that are the best in the world. The artwork on each pick is a work of art. I have gotten several hundred from him and every single one was printed clear and of the best quality I can find. I suggest if you are looking for a good quality guitar pick Steve Clayton Inc is the best you will find.

I have given away hundreds of them to the guitar players who have been on my NashvilleEar.com Songwriter Stage. Each and every person gets a big smile on their face when I hand them our custom printed guitar pick and say "

This is a lucky pick for you, now play up a storm on the Songwriter Stage" It works everytime!

I like this company so much I have added their site to my website as the place to find the best picks around. Give them a try.

New song on the Nashville Ear called Scarred Hands

2010-07-24T08:41:00.001-05:00

I received a very touching song and story last week that I want to share with you.
Dear Sir,
I have a song that I wrote called Scarred Hands.
It is a true story about my mother who saved my sister from a fire when she was a new born
Her hands became scarred when she saved my sister
My mother was so ashame of her hands she always wore gloves to cover them so people wouldn't make fun of her..
When my sister was older and she told my mother about another person named Jesus who had Scarred Hands she never wore the gloves again.
Our pastor of our church has a studio which he makes mp3s to help support the church.
Three of the girls in the choir sang the song and the church band played the music for the song.It is a modern day country Gospel Song.Can you listen to this song and tell me if the song is worthy for your company.
This is my first song I have ever written.Everybody tells me this song has a lot of heart and can touch a lot of people.
Here is the mp3 of Scarred Hands.
Scarred Hands

Here's a song I wrote after hearing a friend say the words "I'm already alright" when asked how he was doing over a relatioship breakup....not sure that you've heard it yet so thought I'd send it.

Larry has created another song as good as his others "I'm Already Alright".

How do I get my songs heard?

2010-06-15T20:16:00.002-05:00

One of the most common questions new songwriters ask is “How do I get my songs heard?” We all sort of wish there were a step-by-step process for every aspect of the music industry so that we could see Point A to Point B and gain a structured knowledge for future reference, but in reality there is only one concrete directive the successful writers have adhered to…hard work.

It’s cliché and broad, but that attribute IS what keeps successful songwriters moving forward – never quitting, never swaying whichever way the wind blows, just pushing out consistently well-written lyrics and utilizing social skills with constant networking, and a lot of late-night gigs.

New song on Nashville Ear "Thats the Way Love Is"

2010-06-15T20:02:00.002-05:00

Mitch Emmons is not only the Best of the Best on Nashville Ear and not only a grand new Grandpa for the first time but he has had time to record a new song.

Mitch spends time on the road with his job writing songs and with this new addition of his first grand baby he has written "Thats the Way Love Is".

We are all very happy for him and his family. This is another strong song by Mitch.

Mitch Emmons has been driving from Alabama to Nashville to audition for the Bluebird Cafe.

He is a guy who has a fantastic lady at home waiting for him. Mitch writes songs while he drives and has written a great song for Gloria, his love.

Mitch is the Best of the Best for 2009 and still one of the best songwriters I have ever met.

Willie Nelson pay attention to this song, It was written for you

2010-06-06T18:44:00.009-05:00

Larry Evans has written a song especially for Willie Nelson.

Everyone knows Willie plays an old guitar that he has had forever. Where the pick guard should be there is a worn hole from years of playing. This song says all the words and feelings that would explain why you would keep an old guitar like that. Just like an old friend , Willies old guitar is part of him and his craft.

Larry even gave the old guitar that he wrote "This Old Guitar" on to Willie's harp player to give to willie with a copy of the song tucked under the strings and the lyrics written on the back of the guitar and that was the third time he has tried to get the song in Willies hands.

"This Old Guitar" is the best song, in my opinion, that Larry has ever written.

Willie, if you hear about this blog or the Nashville Ear.com songs Play attention to this song.

Mitch Emmons plays at the Nashville Palace

2010-03-30T20:10:00.004-05:00

Last night at the Nashville Palace in Nashville Tennessee Mitch Emmons took the stage. It was a warm breezy night when the show at the Nashville Palace was about to begin. There were about 8 small groups of songwriters all talking quietly, a bit of stage nerves was apparent with some of the songwriters and determined faces on others were standing around mainly the rear of the large club.

The show opened with James Breedwell playing several well written original songs. Mitch came next and played three of his original songs that he has written over the past few years. Mitch was great, he sounded really good with his new Tyler guitar given to him by his lady Gloria. Mitch played and sang just like the old experienced player he is. The audio in this club is really good and clear. Talent like Mitch is rarely seen in the normal songwriters nights. Mitch got a good round of applause and was asked to play more later in the night. There were many songwritrs waiting in the wings to play. A great time was had by all.

Timothy Flint added to the Nashville Ear today.

2010-03-28T21:52:00.004-05:00

I play my guitar like some people smoke cigarettes. I am compulsivly reaching for it. Music is, and has always been my constant companion. I thank god for this gift. When I write I never start with an idea. I just find a melody I like and I let it tell me what it should be about. I admire those people that grind out three or four songs a day. I am lucky if I get one. But I stay dedicated to the craft And most importantly, I do it because I love it.
