HERRICK- 4.26.24

Nearly every single successful band who has ever been will tell you that the relationship between band members is very much like a marriage. When you spend hours, days, months and eventually years together, sit side by side through mile after mile as you travel the country, and watch as your creations are born and breathe the breath of life, then you pretty much have a true understanding of marriage. For Kerry and Donna Herrick, that bond was sewn with a double threaded needle being that they are, in fact, married, both literally and musically.

The lack of restrictions on their creative process has endeared them to music fans that make up a large base across the country. With so much noise in the world coming from every direction, the rise of Herrick’s music above the din is most definitely attributed to their rich melodic persuasion and signature harmonies. Their brand new album “Sunderland Road” is a masterful representation of that. The album is co-produced by Herrick and GRAMMY Award-winning engineer Ron “Snake” Reynolds who has worked on 100 plus multi-platinum albums. Kerry and Donna believe Snake to be a missing link in their recording process, a new chapter to their musical story. His ability to capture all the little nuances in Donna’s extraordinary voice brings forth a monster country release worthy of the genre’s ancestors.

My hope is for my music to not only do that for myself but others after all that’s what makes music so powerful.” In 2021, she released her single “Unconditional” which gained international AirPlay on UK Country Radio.

LYNNMARIE & E3- 4.20.24

What happens when a five-time Grammy nominated artist decides that after thirty-years of making music, it’s time to squeeze out a new style?

You get LynnMarie & E3!
Feel-good music that entertains and inspires.

Nashville artist, accordion player, and five-time Grammy nominee LynnMarie has joined forces with Eddie Rodick III to create Nashville’s newest group. Fusing the music of their Eastern European roots with Americana, Rock, Country and whatever else inspires them, LynnMarie & E3 brings forth new music from two very seasoned performers.

Dubbed “The Dixie Chick of the Accordion” by Jay Leno, the squeeze box player and vocalist, and Polka Hall of Fame inductee, and the first female artist ever to win a Grammy nod for Best Polka Album, has now, partnered with Award-winning musician (and husband) Eddie Rodick III, to create LynnMarie & E3. Together, along with David Vaughan on drums and Will Mandell on bass guitar, this fresh new group is inspiring audiences with their quick banter and undeniable talent.

Throughout her successful career spanning three decades, LynnMarie has gained some great praise. Austin O’Connor of The Sun, a newspaper based in Lowell, Massachusetts where LynnMarie played the National Folk Festival, called her “undoubtedly the sexiest player ever to strap on an accordion!” Rolling Stone chimed in: “LynnMarie is one soulful accordion diva.” Eddie Rodick III has been playing music since he was four years old, becoming a child prodigy on the drums, and then embracing every instrument he could get his hands on. He became one of the most sought-after regional musicians, before moving to Nashville in 2018. Together with their band they have averaged 50-100 dates a year, performed at the Bethlehem Music Festival, the CMA Fan Fair and South By Southwest. They have played every major Oktoberfest across the county and toured overseas, performing at the Country & Trucker Festival in Interlaken Switzerland, in Slovenia and The Netherlands.

In the three decades that she has been making music, LynnMarie has recorded 13 strong, independent and under the radar albums, consisting mostly of folk music, with a bit of Cajun, Tex-Mex and country sprinkled in. But now, she is turning the tables on her own talent. “My ethnic music is what got me to the party” she laughs, “but there’s always been a plethora of other songs and musical styles inside of me that have wanted to come out, which is why we’ve created LynnMarie & E3.

LynnMarie has written and collaborated with such greats as Vince Gill, Chet Atkins, Dobie Gray, Hal Ketchum, Riders in the Sky, Tom Douglas (The House That Built Me) and Graham Russell of Air Supply. Many of those songs are now going to be able to be heard thanks to LynnMarie & E3.

Hit writers round with Jamie Teachenor, Jimmy Yeary & Jason Matthews- 4.5.24

JASON MATTHEWS
Jason Matthews has always been a writer. From the time he was old enough to hold a pen, he’s been scribbling his thoughts and feelings into spiral bound notebooks. At fifteen, he saw Eric Clapton on television and became obsessed with playing guitar. So after learning how to play three chords, it was only natural that the first thing he did was write a song. And another one. And another one.

In 1995, he chased his dream of being a professional songwriter to Nashville, TN from his home in Harrells Store, NC and never looked back. He scored his first hit in 2002 on Lyric Street recording artist, Kevin Denney, with “That’s Just Jessie”.

In 2006, he struck solid platinum with his first number one on Billy Currington with the most played song of that year, “Must Be Doin’ Somethin’ Right”. This earned him the coveted Music Row Magazine Breakthrough Writer Of The Year Award along with platinum single, album, and ringtone awards.

Recently, he made his debut as a producer with Australian artist, Benn Gunn. The first single (which Jason also co-wrote), “Girls Like Guys With Trucks”, yielded an Australian three week number one. He just produced Canadian artist, ex-Cold Creek County lead singer, Brandon Scott’s highly anticipated solo debut as well as EP releases on artists Cody Webb and Mick Lindsay.

Here is a sample of some of the songs that have made it from the mind of Jason Matthews to records and radio airwaves:
“Lonely Eyes”- Chris Young
“Drinkin’ With You”- Loving Mary (Steven Tyler’s band)
“That Thing We Do”- Blake Shelton
“Tough People Do”, “Break Down Here”, “One Night Stand”- Trace Adkins
“When I Get It”- Craig Campbell
“Country Man”, “Drinkin’ Beer And Wastin’ Bullets”, “Muckalee Creek Water”- Luke Bryan “You Didn’t Have A Good Time”- Randy Travis
“Must Be Doin’ Somethin’ Right”- Billy Currington
“Break Down Here”- Julie Roberts
“Life Happened”- Tammy Cochran
“One Last Time”- Dusty Drake
“The Ball”- James Otto
“That’s Just Jessie”- Kevin Denney

JIMMY YEARY
Jimmy has written more than two-thousand songs, many of which have been featured on albums selling millions of copies--Grammy winners, gold and platinum awards among them. 14 of Jimmy's songs have been certified "Number 1" hits as singles by Billboard Magazine. Both the CMA and ACM awarded Jimmy Yeary with "Song of the Year" for I Drive Your Truck--the inspiring song he wrote about the father of a fallen soldier and how he continues to remember his son. Jimmy's most recent Number 1’s were Everything's Gonna Be Alright, a song he wrote for Kenny Chesney and David Lee Murphy, and I Called Mama, a song he wrote for Tim McGraw.

JAMIE TEACHENOR
Jamie Teachenor is a multi-platinum singer/songwriter, U.S. Air Force Veteran, and Adjunct Professor of Songwriting at MTSU. He earned his M.B.A. from Troy University and his Ph.D. from Liberty University.

Grand Opening Act 6: Karli & James - 4.3.24

“There’s nothing like writing songs,” says Karli Chayne, lead singer in rising country duo Karli & James. “The vibe I get when I’m putting my feelings on paper, then turning those emotions into a song…it just does it for me.” Her partner, James Sinclair-Stott, is equally enthusiastic about the recording process: “The really exciting part for me is taking a song we’ve written on acoustic guitar and making it a full-blown, radio-quality production.”

Those two perspectives are crucial to the energy this duo brings to their artistry. Karli leans pure country; James leans indie rock, and the result is a refreshingly modern blend that the critics love. “Karli’s winsome soprano takes the lead with James’s soft harmony backing her flawlessly.…Well produced and radio ready,” notes Robert K. Oermann, MusicRow magazine.

And the duo is digging even deeper as they mature as a couple and as artists. Someday Dreaming¬, the EP the duo is currently recording, represents the culmination of that growth. Every song is co-written by Karli and James, with James’s as the solo producer.

In addition to refining their musical niche, Karli & James have spent the last few years honing their live performance chops and building an audience. In addition to playing historic venues in Nashville, the duo has also opened for Brandy Clark, Lonestar, Uncle Kracker, Casey Donahew, Thompson Square, Mark Chesnutt, Sara Evans and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
