Songwriters Circle: Mike Willis

12 years ago Liv Carter 3
For a few months now, one of the bands generating a buzz in Nashville is The Cumberland Collective. This cheerfully-chaotic cluster of songwriters was a hit at Folk Alliance 2012, and is just weeks away from releasing their debut album, In the Room. One of the writers at the core of this collective is Georgia-native Read More

12 years ago Liv Carter 5
With a hit song climbing the charts, Eric Church‘s masterful ‘Springsteen,’ this is a good time to chat with songwriter Ryan Tyndell. Thanks to the cool people at his place of work, publishing company ole, we met up bright and early at their Music Row offices and settled into his comfortably decorated workspace for a Read More

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Songwriters Circle: Ellis Paul
After 8 months of waiting for schedules to line up, Folk Alliance 2012 brought me the opportunity to add Ellis Paul to this series. As one of my songwriting heroes, he was one of the first names on my list when I started this. Everyone has songs they turn to at important moments. At quite Read More

UCN Interview: LoCash Cowboys – “If you’re going to be cliché, why not be original?”

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on UCN Interview: LoCash Cowboys – “If you’re going to be cliché, why not be original?”
One of the greatest things about running UCN has been the people it has brought into my life whom I otherwise would never have met. And really cool have been the people who have taken me by surprise. Perhaps none have done this more than Chris Lucas and Preston Brust of LoCash Cowboys. If you Read More

Songwriters Circle: Clay Evans

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Songwriters Circle: Clay Evans
I hear a lot of new music. In any given week, I am sent upwards of 100 new CDs. This is probably true for most music writers: if you want to grab my attention, you need to arrive with something special; something I haven’t heard from anyone else. Nashville singer-songwriter Clay Evans did just that Read More

Songwriters Circle: Tracy Lawrence

12 years ago Liv Carter 2
Having focused mainly on independent or upcoming songwriters in this series so far, it was time to include a big name; someone who has been there, done that, and wrote a song about it. Tracy Lawrence celebrated his 20th year in the music industry last summer and has seen every possible side of Music Row. Read More

Songwriters Circle: Jeremy McComb

12 years ago Liv Carter 1
Singer-songwriter Jeremy McComb has been on my list for one of these interviews since I started the series. The recent release of his new record, Leap and the net will appear, after a long and complete break with songwriting, gave us a good reason to talk at (great) length about the craft. While being signed Read More

10 Questions with…Joanna Mosca

12 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on 10 Questions with…Joanna Mosca
Joanna Mosca‘s recent country single ‘Where Does Good Love Go,’ a duet with Richie McDonald, received lots of country radio praise. It was reason enough to sit down with the friendly singer-songwriter for a quick Q&A. 1. How did the duet with Richie come about? It was originally going to be a duet with Bryan Read More
