Tin Pan South 2012 Highlights

Posted by Country Girl on March 30th, 2012

The 20th Annual Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival Presented by Regions Bank kicked off last night under beautiful skies and mild temperatures. Over 70 songwriters took to the stage at nine of Nashville’s finest venues, and laughter, tears and surprises were the order of the evening.

Regions Bank’s Lisa Harless, Mark Narmore, Mark Nessler, Josh Turner and Jeremy Spillman at Hard Rock Cafe.
Both Hard Rock Shows last night featured current chart-topping artists. Josh Turner lead a group of his buddies on the early show, and laughter was guaranteed at the late show with Bob DiPiero, Luke Bryan, Jeff Stevens and Jim Beavers. Eighties star Tiffany was a highlight at the late show at Belcourt Taps and Tapas, and The Rutledge enjoyed two packed shows.

Tin Pan’s newest venue, eat at Lowe’s, proved a highlight last night when Elliot Lurie joined Sherrie Austin, Steve Bogard, Rob Hatch and Will Rambeaux for a hit-filled evening. When Lurie sang his mega-hit “Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)”, the crowd stood to their feet and sang every word with him.

The perennially-favorite Bluebird Café also hosted two sold-out shows last night,highlighted by the early powerhouse show featuring Thom Schuyler, J. Fred Knobloch, Tony Arata, Jelly Roll Johnson and the inimitable Janis Ian.

Night Two of the 20th Annual Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival Presented by Regions Bank offered even more entertainment, as all ten popular venues were packed with hit songwriters, adoring fans and non-stop music. Tickets are available for all shows, though reservations are strongly encouraged for the Bluebird Cafe and The Listening Room Cafe.

3rd & Lindsley kicked off its first Tin Pan Show with songwriting legends Felix Cavaliere, Jack Tempchin and Jimmy Webb, who each performed a set of songs woven into the fabric of our lives. The packed house sang along to The Rascals’ “Groovin’,” “I’ve Been Lonely Too Long,” “How Can I Be Sure” and more. Tempchin followed with a bevy of Eagles’ hits he co-wrote with Glenn Frey including “You Belong to the City” and “Peaceful Easy Feeling” and his Johnny Rivers smash “Swayin’ to the Music (Slow Dancin’)” and Jimmy Webb kept the audience captivated with stories and endless hit songs.

Both Station Inn shows were standing room only, with Tracy Lawrence leading Flip Anderson, Lacey Brown, Jonny Houilihan and Rick Huckaby in the early show. Vince Gill filled in for Red Lane in the late show, which also featured Larry Gatlin, Lesslie Satcher and Bobby Tomberlin. The show started off in a somber mood with the news of the passing of Earl Scruggs, whom Gill said had, “been like a father to me.” He dedicated his first song, “Go Rest High” to Scruggs, as Satcher and Gatlin added beautiful harmonies.

Hard Rock shows again featured a who’s-who of artists and songwriters including Dierks Bentley, Jon Randall, Sam Bush, Radney Foster, Rivers Rutherford and a special appearance by Randall’s wife and hit singer/songwriter Jessi Alexander. The Rutledge hosted one of the biggest rounds of the evening, which included the three members of new Warner Bros trio The Farm, Danny Myrick, Heidi Newfield and Bridgette Tatum.

Each year Tin Pan South donates the proceeds from one show to a specific charity, and this year the Faith Family Medical Clinic will be the beneficiary of the show starring Pat Alger, Wayland Holyfield, Jon Vezner and Paul Williams.

The festival schedule – with a complete list of venues, addresses, performers and ticket prices – is available at TinPanSouth.com. Attendees are encouraged to visit the site for the most current information, prior to making plans, as performer line ups are subject to change.

She’s Country Tour Launches with Heidi Newfield and Bridgette Tatum

Posted by Country Girl on October 27th, 2011

The She’s Country Tour featuring Heidi Newfield with Bridgette Tatum and special guests kicked off with an industry launch party Monday night at Nashville’s 12th & Porter.

Tatum performed three songs including the self-penned “Loud,” the official theme song for ACC Football’s 2010 season. She then introduced Newfield, who opened with a raucous harmonica solo, followed by seven songs, including her hits “Johnny & June,” “Pour Me” (with Trick Pony), and introduced a few new tunes. The two finished the evening of high-energy music together with an encore of “She’s Country,” the No. 1 hit song that inspired the tour that was written by Tatum and Danny Myrick and recorded by Jason Aldean.

The packed house enjoyed “She’s Country” cocktails, made with Pendleton Whisky, a proud sponsor of the She’s Country Tour. The first phase of this unique all-female tour begins November 2 in Little Rock, AR. For additional tour information and updates, visit www.shescountrytour.com.

Rascal Flatts and Trace Adkins Turn the Grand Ole Opry into a Dance Party

Posted by Country Girl on August 24th, 2011

  

The lineup for the Grand Ole Opry was FANTASTIC last night.  From start to finish it was an exceptional show.  Little Jimmy Dickens started the night off and got the crowd giggling with jokes that can only be told by Little Jimmy. 

 

Also giving stellar performances last night were Brett Eldredge, Edens Edge, Heidi Newfield and Larry Gatlin. 

The party got started when Trace Adkins took the stage for a 30 minute set that got fans out of their seats rockin along to “Ladies Love Country Boys”, “Just Fishin”and other songs from his new album “Proud to be Here.”    I met a couple who drove from New York just to see Trace perform at the legendary Opry.  Trace was nice enough to sign a  cowboy hat for them before ending his set. 

For those of you who think the Grand Ole Opry isn’t as fun as a high end tour stop for Rascal Flatts.  You were proved WRONG last night.  Rascal Flatts took the stage for the final half hour of the show and there wasn’t a person there who wasn’t out of their seats singing along to every word.  

If you can’t make it to Nashville to visit the Grand Ole Opry in person don’t forget there are other ways to get the experience.

  • Tune your radio dial to 650 AM WSM to hear full, unedited broadcasts of every Opry show.
  • The Grand Ole Opry App is the quickest way to stay connected to the Opry and other Opry fans. Listen to the Grand Ole Opry and 650 AM WSM live, see the latest calendar of shows and artist appearances, purchase tickets to all upcoming Opry shows, and more! By downloading the app you will also receive Push Notifications about special offers, breaking news, and artist confirmations.  Download the Grand Ole Opry App.
  • SIRIUS XM Radio is the exclusive satellite radio home of the Grand Ole Opry, featuring weekly broadcasts, performance archives, and more! Enjoy the Grand Ole Opry on The Roadhouse – SIRIUS channel 62 and XM channel 10 every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday night.
