Dennis Drummond & Barrett Barber

Dennis Drummond

You have seen him on the current season of the “National Vocal Competition !” Now see him LIVE! #AdamLevine #BlakeShelton #MileyCyrus #JenniferHudson come join us.

Born and raised in a small steel town in Northeast Ohio, Dennis was drawn to the guitar at a very young age. Taking an early liking to the blues, Dennis was fronting his own blues group, playing 2-4 nights a week, by the age of 15.

After college in late 2012, he loaded up everything he had into a van and headed south to Nashville, TN. Initially coming to Nashville to focus more on studio/session work and hired-gun gigs, Dennis has played guitar for, toured, and recorded with numerous groups over the years. Currently, you can catch him at Jim Oliver’s Smoke House, Monteagle, TN, where he combines his love for blues and soul, performing his soulful originals and unique renditions of familiar tunes!

Barrett Barber

NBC’s The Voice finalist Barrett Barber gave millions of viewers an unforgettable introduction to a true artist and entertainer.  With high-energy vocal performances, Barrett owned the stage from start to finish, and his unique, soulful country sound stood out among the entire show as something truly special.  Blake Shelton says, “Barrett sounds like no one else on country radio.  He can be a star in Country Music.”

Jason Lee Wilson

Scots-Irish, German, Swiss, Italian, and Cherokee…no one is more American in spirit, word or pedigree. Jason is a balladeer from the Southern highlands of North America who sings what he knows; he has stayed true to his roots, and has penned many songs romanticizing the history and tradition of his own life. He could be described as traditional country meets folklore meets high energy rockabilly.

The Lovers

Originally from Dayton, Ohio, Amanda June made her way down to Nashville at 18 years young to focus on her career as a singer, songwriter and develop her artistry. Amanda has been singing since she could talk and picked up the acoustic guitar around the age of 14. Her music stands out among most music in the sense that it’s music with passion, soul and written from personal experience. With a down-to-earth sensibility and a smooth, sweet voice, Amanda’s style blends perfectly with that of Cole Vosbury, a fellow artist who also heard Nashville calling his name.

You may recognize Cole from Season 5 of NBC’s The Voice in 2013. Cole, a Louisiana native, has been staying busy since his time on the show. Cole has been playing music most of his life. Cole’s style stands out among others, his soulful, intriguing and gravelly voice compliments his blues, rock, country influenced playing on guitar. After having success in his hometown playing piano bars and bar gigs with his band, he auditioned for The Voice and while on Blake Shelton’s team he placed Top 4. He went on to lay roots in Nashville while he traveled around the country to play shows. While traveling and co-writing the past few years with Amanda June they decided to form a duo, “The Lovers”. They are lovers of music, art, and each other. As independent artists and full-time musicians, they do it all from the creating to booking shows. They travel as much as they can to spread their sound on the road and always be playing music. That’s what it’s all about.

Greg Hall

“Probably the best guitar player in comedy. Or the best comedian in guitar-playing” ~ The Tennessean

Greg Hall, guitar in hand, delights audiences nationwide with his songwriting, and humorous observations of life in America. Based in Nashville, Greg headlines comedy clubs around the country. His entertainment career began in Texas as a singer/songwriter after winning a prestigious Kennedy Center award for ‘Outstanding Achievement in Musical Composition’. The next decade took him on a musical journey through thirty states, and Europe. He released five CD’s along the way, and shared stages with Shelby Lynne, Vern Gosdin, Jerry Jeff Walker, Eric Johnson, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Keith Urban, Dan Seals, and others.

A near fatal car wreck took Greg out of the game for a while. Determined to get back on stage, he entered the realm of stand up comedy. Always a quick wit, he took his stage experience, songwriting chops and musicianship, and fast tracked into touring comedy clubs around the nation. Now, as a headliner, Greg spends at least twenty weeks a year performing in top comedy clubs.

Greg observes life’s mishaps with a twinkle in his eye, and hope. The result is an achingly fun, comedic musical journey sharing his hard-won, slightly skewed wisdom.

Brent Anderson

Brent Anderson is described by his co-writers as a “creative force”- a songwriter that can play anything, sing anything, and write anything – and he’s just getting started. Anderson relocated to Nashville and landed his first publishing deal when he was only 15 years old.

In 2009, he signed with Sea Gayle Music Publishing and has since had cuts with Brad Paisley, Tyler Farr, Florida Georgia Line, Dustin Lynch, Maddie & Tae, The Cadillac Three, Danielle Bradbery, and Randy Rogers Band. His credits also include the #1 hit “Lonely Tonight” by Blake Shelton featuring Ashley Monroe and other singles, “Getting Over You” (Jackie Lee), “Cold Beer With Your Name On It” (Josh Thompson) and “Callin’ Me When I’m Lonely” (Sheryl Crow). As a producer, Brent’s credits include Chris Jansen, CJ Solar as well as several other upcoming project releases for Warner Brothers including the breakthrough hit “Buy Me A Boat”.

Runaway Home

The band, Runaway Home, is a “homecoming” of sorts. It was founded by three powerhouse singers looking for a road back to the music they grew up on and loved! Their sound is strong three part harmony over lyrics that matter, wrapped in an acoustic style reminiscent of ‘70’s era radio. You might call them Retro-Commercial-Americana.
