EAST NASHVILLE

Songs, stories, and the things
that stay with you

Singer-songwriter, author, and producer. Twenty years in Nashville writing the kind of songs people carry around long after the music stops.

MUSIC

A few worth hearing

with MAIR on mandolin, live at Ranch Vovo

I wrote this after meeting my wife, Randa. Gave it to her as a present for our first Christmas. Recorded this version on summer night at my studio with MAIR (Molly Tuttle Band) on mandolin and harmony.

Let’s Just Have Supper

with Nora Jane Struthers

Nora Jane and I wrote this song about differences and folks and making a little effort to get along. We wrote it on a Monday, by that Friday we’d made this video with a bunch of us from the neighborhood.

Hashtag

by Gillian Welch + David Rawlings, arranged for piano by Korby

Pretty much worn out the latest Gill and Dave album, Woodland, recorded at their Woodland Studios around the corner from where I live. I came up with this arrangement for solo piano. Randa popped in to sing harmonies on the last two choruses!

LIVE

Shows

I've played stages, living rooms, backyards, barns, and one memorable kitchen. If you're looking to book a house concert or private event, get in touch.

FOR SOMEONE YOU LOVE

Custom songs for milestone occasions

I write original songs for people as gifts — birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, retirements. You tell me the story. I turn it into a song they'll remember forever.

“Watching Tammy hear it for the first time was unforgettable.”
