Hugh Trimble is a folk singer, songwriter and storyteller based in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Born in Eastern Europe to American journalists, Hugh lived in four different countries before his eighteenth birthday, but his career as a musician began in Central Park. Inspired by his close-knit community of street artists, Hugh began writing feverishly. His Central Park busking moved towards recording studios and DIY venues in Brooklyn, then beyond. Hugh’s music has always paid homage to the rich and revolving landscapes and characters he learned to call home- even if only for an evening.

In his newest project, Hugh reunites with long-time friend Drew “Drewski” Niedzielski, whose extensive resume includes performing with riotous rock trio The Lakehouse Boys and founding East Nashville indie recording studio The Atomic Ranch. Hugh, Drewski and drummer Brian Bednarz mix compelling folk lyricism with electricity and fervor in HUGH TRIMBLE & THE ATOMIC RANCH BAND. Their latest releases were recorded live to tape at famed Nashville studios Welcome to 1979, and The Bomb Shelter, and are available now on all streaming platforms.

Timmy Kelley’s journey to music is anything but ordinary. Born in Pennsylvania to migrant circus performers, he grew up surrounded by the lights, sounds, and thrills of a traveling show. From the time he could walk, Timmy was learning how to juggle, throw knives, and captivate a crowd—but it was the guitar in his tiny hands at just a year and a half old that truly set his path. By the time he landed in Nashville in 2018, he had already lived a life full of adventure, with a spirit perfectly suited for the stage.

Blending powerhouse vocals with heartfelt storytelling, Timmy draws influence from an eclectic mix of icons: the flamboyant showmanship of Freddie Mercury and Adam Lambert, the soulful sincerity of John Mayer and Jason Mraz, the fierce artistry of Beyoncé, and the raw energy of Judas Priest. His performances bring together the theatrical flair of his circus roots with the emotional depth of a songwriter who lives every lyric. In Nashville, Timmy is carving out his own lane—bold, dynamic, and unforgettable—an artist who doesn’t just perform songs, but creates experiences his audiences carry long after the final note.

I’m a musician and an artist.  I love music and have been writing songs for years, so now I want to share them with the world.  Music is a pleasure, for sure, but it is also essential. A wise man once said, ‘Music is God’s voice.'  Music is a supernatural language that we can all understand and feel, it is universal.  I'm a storyteller more than anything, I tell stories through my music.

Soulchess is a band based in Nashville, Tennessee that defies what you may typically think of as ‘Nashville music’. Consisting of members from wildly varying musical backgrounds, the band has a sound that is the epitome of a musical fusion. The band has been going from strength the strength over the last or 2 emerging out of the pandemic guns blazing ready to take on the world. The Soulchess sound is one defined by the band's diverse influences and diverse cultural backgrounds. This band is a breath of fresh air in their home town of Nashville simply by being ‘a band’ opposed to a solo artist. Soulchess are truly ‘a band’. This enables them to act in unison and pull off tricks and synchronized parts that only bands can do after having spent several years playing together. This is in contrast to the hired gun nature of the Nashville music scene. Soulchess’ live shows are where their tight sound comes alive. Soulchess is a band that has to be seen live to appreciate their energy and their sonic ‘tricks’ that wow crowds no matter what venue they are performing at. The band can pull off some seriously good cover versions too that have their own slant on some classics. They are fans of the mashup in all regards, for instance, the band somehow managed to fuse Muse’s ‘Uprising’ into MJ’s ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’. You have to see it to believe it. On top of their musical prowess, this is an entertaining band to watch. From Derrian’s dance moves to the sheer energy and passion of conveyed through the drums, bass, and guitar, Soulchess must be seen and heard.

Born and Raised in ol Wyoming. Now living in the honkey tonks and back alleys of Nashville, Tennessee, picking songs of salvation to salve the soul.

For over two decades Tennessee songwriter Jennifer Jane Niceley has been releasing deeply sensitive and strikingly original material.  Previous albums include the lush sounds of Luminous (under Jennifer Niceley ) in 2008 produced by Joe McMahan (Kevin Gordon, Luella and the Sun), and the bare and eclectic Angels, Demons, Red-Tail Hawks with Eric McConnell (Loretta Lynn, Todd Snider, Sierra Ferrell) in 2017.

Jennifer describes her music now as “mystical country", citing the Appalachian roots that continue to inform her signature guitar style, mixed with the poetic mystery and depth of her unique songwriting. Add the cosmic-minded production of Feathered Mason (Eric Davis) and the other-worldly ambience from multi-instrumentalist Jason Goforth and the expansive sound becomes even more enigmatic.

On the heels of her new full-length album, Not Lost, catch her with her stellar live band (Feathered Mason, Jason Goforth, Clint Mullican and Robert Crawford). An exciting new chapter has begun.✨

Her lovely, gossamer voice walks a fine line between self-possession and vulnerability, at times suggesting what it might sound like if Portishead’s Beth Gibbons made a country album.” JACK SILVERMAN— (review of Angels, Demons, Red-Tail Hawks)
