"It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out"

BIOGRAPHY

I'm an independent songwriter-plugger-publisher. I moved to Nashville to attend MTSU, and wound up with a degree in production and technology in the recording industry. I decided that audio engineering wasn't my true calling and have been concentrating on songwriting as my career. I'm always up for co-writing, so let me know if you're interested. For my day job, I'm involved in studio operations at The Sound Kitchen Recording Studio in Franklin, TN.

Robbie Robertson

As a member of The Band, Robbie Robertson changed the course or rock music history, hipping the genre to a more old-timey sound with songs like “The Weight,” “Up On Cripple Creek,” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.” His latest solo album, How To Become Clairvoyant, reflects on his rock and roll past.

“Things are starting to get weird.”

Jessica Lea Mayfield, whose Nonesuch Records debut Tell Me is in stores now, is on the phone from her home in Ohio and we’re having a good laugh over her recent success. It’s beer o’clock on both ends of the phone, the last interview in a long week of talking to complete strangers for the two of us.
