Brave Combo - 7:00 pm

Collier

 Collier - 8:00 pm
The Collier sisters – Bree, Lyndee, and Hailey – have been performing all of their lives. The girls grew up in Nashville listening to a variety of music, but it is evident in the Collier sound which genre they were born to sing together…sister soul. Although it is easy to put artists in categories and boxes with fancy labels, the Collier women just want you to listen to what they have created. Simply put, it is intelligent pop music with modern and classic R&B style. The Collier sisters have recently been in the studio putting their sibling harmonies and so much of their life experiences into a distinctive, new sound. Music like this is rare to Nashville in our modern era, but will one day gladly claim the Collier girls as to where it all began. To get a better glimpse of these talented sisters and their music, go to myspace.com/colliersistersmusic and colliermusic.com.

The Lowry Sisters

The Lowry Sisters - 8:30 pm
On New Years Eve 2006, three talented and determined sisters arrived in Nashville, TN ready to start a new year in music city. Uncertain of their future, they took a chance and made one of the best decisions of their lives. Nashville has proved to be a city where music thrives and The Lowry Sisters have become a recognizable name. This dynamic trio is refreshing with Allison’s powerful and passionate lead vocals, Lauren’s melodic piano playing along with multi-instrumentalist Ashley Lowry on acoustic/electric guitar, mandolin and banjo. Lauren and Ashley also contribute to the rich harmonies with natural warmth and blend that only families possess. Their vocals, stage presence, lyric and melody writing creates a timeless quality that warms the heart of any generation. 

Jon Nite

Jon Nite - 9:00 pm
Jon Nite is an artist/writer raised in Amarillo, TX. In that little texas ranch house music was a way of life. His Mom’s piano filled the rooms with hymns as his Dad strummed every chord out on a gut string guitar. Jon cut his teeth and learned the craft of writing songs in Nashville where he attended Belmont university. He graduated just in time to watch the publishers he knew close their doors. So he played. In 2008, Jon signed a publishing deal with Zavitson Music Group. Jon’s songs are little pieces of real life. Whether it is “Get Lost”, a look at someone raised in the country working through the frustration of a high rise world, or “Don’t Lie” a song about being honest enough to say it’s over, these songs are real. These songs feel like genuine pieces of life because they are.

Billy Yates

Billy Yates - 9:30 pm
Billy Yates may best be known for writing songs for artists such as George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Joe Nichols, John Michael Montgomery, Sara Evans, Gary Allan and Joe Diffie, not to mention the award winning George Jones classic, “I Don’t Need Your Rockin’ Chair” and Jones’ Grammy award winning, “Choices”... But BILLY YATES is also one fine honky tonk singer! With one listen to his fourth independent CD, “HARMONY MAN”, on his own M.O.D. (my own damn) Record Label, you’ll see why Yates has garnered critical acclaim for his superb traditional country stylings. This year alone, BILLY YATES will perform all over Europe to sold-out crowds in Holland, Germany, Spain, Austria, Italy Norway and Sweden. This Autumn, the Missouri native will embark upon an extensive UK tour, including a number of media and radio stops along the way. Perhaps the legendary Lorretta Lynn said it best: “Billy Yates is the real thing baby! If he keeps singing the way he is now, he’s gonna be the one that fills the shoes of our great traditional country artists when the time comes. I love what he’s doing”!
