Let me introduce Harlan Pease singing some of his "Coffee Series" songs. Harlan is from New England and has become one of the better songwriters/performers I have run across. Harlan was named the 2012 " NashvilleEar.com "Best of the Best" songwriter.
This video is him playing at the Pavilion Coffee House a few songs he has written about coffee. Excellent Lyrics with all his songs along with some pretty smooth and fancy guitar playing.

Brittany Blaire performs "Say Goodbye" at The Bluebird Cafe

The best advise for breaking up with someone you used to be in love with.. just "Say goodbye"
This is good songwriter who showed up from Utah about 4 years ago.

This is Brittany Blaire Andersen. She is an example of the kind of songwriters we need to come to Nashville.
She is a school teacher, a songwriter, a performer and an actor. Well rounded people like her make the lives of everyone around them richer from the experience. Brittany is like that. a pure joy to be around. Funny happy and full of energy is how I would describe her. Enjoy her performance of "Say Goodbye".

Bex Marshall playing some Smokin Blues in Mississippi

This tail-kicking song was played by Bex Marshall at Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Mississippi during Juke Joint Festival 2014. Bex rightly tore the place up! Shot on location by Reed R. Radcliffe / TripleRPhotography
I met this lady in Nashville at a fellow musicians home. She is one of those people who light a room up when she walks in. Her personality is similar to the way she plays her resonator guitar. She is a joy to know. She is also one of the finest blues player I have met in Nashville. Enjoy her song "Bite Me" written about her husband Barry Marshall.

Karla Davis is just amazingly good in this entire set

Rarely do I sit and watch a songwriter with my mouth open and hanging on each word of the lyrics. I found myself doing exactly that Saturday evening at the Pavilion Coffee House. Karla Davis is so darn good. I am surprised I had not heard of her before now. Listen to a killer set of great songs. They are all good but the last one in the set was written for her Dad... it is very moving.. you will love this set of 4 songs.

Does a song change when recorded by a major star? You tell me?

Just to show how this works for you new songwriters...


There is a guy name Joel Shewmake. He is a fantastic songwriter. He is the "Best of the Best " for 2013 awarded by the NashvilleEar.com. He has several songs recorded by major country music stars.

He wrote a song called "Tough Times Dont Last Tough People Do" so he comes on to the NashvilleEar.com Songwriter Stage and sings it one Saturday morning after hanging with his good buddy Harlan Pease all night enjoying adult beverages. I have them scheduled to play at 10am on Saturday morning at Bost Harley Davidson dealership. They were very happy to find the coffee and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.

They hit the stage and amazingly they are fine and playing like it was 10pm instead of 10am. I have always wondered how they do that??
Joel plays several songs but this one really stuck in my mind. I am thinking this is one great song, Here is what I heard on the NashvilleEar Songwriter Stage in Nashville: Joel playing his song like he hears it in his mind.

Time Lapse about 6 months and I see Travis Adkins singing this same song on the Republican National Convention stage. Joel hit a home run with this song. Here is why lyrics matter!
Here is what I heard on TV six months later:

Terry Wooley is impressive at Bost Harley Davidson in Nashville TN.

This one of the few times I did not know who I was dealing with. I asked Terry Wooley  to play my Songwriter Stage not knowing he was a major songwriter and performer. He kicked off his set and I was totally blown away.
This is one of the best songwriters and performers in Nashville. Enjoy some great songs. Each song is perfectly written and performed. Terry is a true professional in the songwriting business in Nashville Tennessee.

Taylor Dukes playing at the Pavilion Coffee House.

This is one amazing performance!
Taylor Dukes was in rare form last Saturday evening at the Pavilion Coffee House.
Each song was better than the last. She has the most soft, mellow, jazzy voice I have heard in years.I could listen to her for hours. Taylor Dukes will be a big hit in this town soon.
Listen to some amazing music .
