Check Out My Friends!

I've been meaning to do this for awhile, but some friends of mine are making some pretty awesome art... please go check out their stuff, especially if you are in Nashville, they are extremely talented and its a privilege to know them and to share their art with other people.




Alva Leigh

I met Allie in our freshman dorm (Hail Hall) 5 years ago at Belmont. I noticed a pair of converse shoes she was wearing and she noticed mine and we decided to trade shoes without exchanging names. She made a record a couple years ago under the name Allie Peden titled "With This Love" and is preparing the release of her new record in 2010. She's an exceptional songwriter and her songs have a voice to them that is all her own. Her music is a mix between Nashville indie love and Mississippi truth with pop thrown in along the way. You will love it.

Jake Ousley

This boy can write. Hes got a couple songs up on myspace but a whole lot more he hasn't even unveiled yet. A couple months ago he invited me to go to a YoungLife leaders retreat weekend and one of the nights we were there he played a show of just his music. The atmosphere he created was like being in a living room .... He's got a lot of stuff going on so check him out.

Kaiti Jones

I've known Kaiti for a couple years and everytime I hear her stuff I'm continually blown away. She is one of those artists that you wish played more shows because her live performance matches the quality of her recording. She recorded an Ep with Mike Odmark( Nashville producer and engineer) called Arise Child. You can buy it on itunes or get it from noisetrade.com.

Lindsey Jones
Lindsey is a singer/songwriter who is always doing great projects. I met her last year and heard her self titled Ep (produced by Andy Osenga of the Normals and Caedmons Call) She is part of a duo called This & That. They have just made their grand entrance into the Nashville scene with a killer Ep. She will be doing big things, keep an eye on her.
