First things first. Let’s get this out-of-the-way. Tyrone Wells (I) wrote this bio. I figured, “who better to talk about myself than myself?”. I’m a lot of things in no particular order… a preacher’s son, a brother, a husband, a dad, a real estate lover, a major-label artist, an independent artist, an opener, a headliner, a very self-conscious dancer (think “Footloose”, only without the cathartic cutting loose), a gardener, a wanna be surfer, a person who has needed therapy, a pickleball player, a barstool theologian, and this next one kind of goes without saying because you’re here reading my bio.. I’m a singer-songwriter. I’ve written a lot of songs. Probably approaching around 1,000 songs now… to me, when I wrote them, they were all good songs. The luxury of time has informed me, some of the songs were maybe just good to me. And some of the songs, inexplicably, have millions upon millions of listeners. Meanwhile, others have tens upon tens. I don’t know why, I just write them and set them free. Ultimately, I’m trying my best to be honest, and write a song that I, and you can both love. I’m gonna keep trying. I’m so grateful that you have listened. Be it once, or be it a hundred times. I’ve got big love for you. I’ll be over here chopping away and reminding myself to be vulnerable. Peace and Love, XOXO TyroneSinger-songwriterfrom $24

7:00pmDrew Ryder Smith & Dave DoobininThe Lounge at City Winery Nashville Presents Drew Ryder Smith & Dave Doobinin live on Tuesday, November 17th at 7:00 PM! Drew Ryder Smith is a country music singer and award winning professional songwriter. Born and raised between “Music City” (Nashville, TN) and “The Hit Making Capital of the World” (Muscle Shoals, AL), his career in music was probably inevitable. Drew's work has been recorded in many countries including the US, Canada, Ireland, Germany and Australia (among others) by legends like Merle Haggard, Nashville powerhouse Randy Houser, Rob Snyder, Jason Charles Miller, Kevin Denney, John Schneider, and Australian-Canadian country singer, Gord Bamford, who stands as one of the most decorated artists in Canadian country music and the only two-time winner of the CMA Global Country Artist of the Year award. Drew learned his first chords on his grandmother’s 1964 Gibson Hummingbird and wrote his first song (which he now describes as “terrible”) when he was only 12. He started his music career in radio at the age of 14 when he innocently called the studio to inquire about working there and his deep voice led the station manager to believe he was an adult with radio experience. When a 14 year old Drew showed up at the studio, after a shared laugh at the mix up, his unique voice inspired the manager to keep him around and he began working as an on air personality. Drew has named his early influences include: Steve Earle, John Prine, Don Williams, Merle Haggard, Foster & Lloyd, Jackson Browne and, last but certainly not least, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, which happens to be the first concert he ever attended - at the age of two. His pastor father relays that they skipped church to attend the concert and little Drew played air guitar throughout the whole thing. Drew toured coast to coast for several years in his early career and has shared the stage with Merle Haggard, Don Williams, Big & Rich, Lee Brice, Lady A and many others. He describes opening for Merle Haggard at the Ryman Auditorium with only a stool and his acoustic guitar as one of the highlights of his career. Opening for one of his heroes with the likes of John Prine, Tim and Faith, Keith Urban and top industry executives in the audience, and his mother in the wings, is a story he rarely tells but that is close to his heart. Drew's long songwriting career has also afforded him the opportunity to write with Don Schlitz (“The Gambler,” “When You Say Nothing At All”), Rob Snyder (“She Got The Best Of Me” - Luke Combs), Driver Williams ("Smoke A Little Smoke” - Eric Church), Bobby Pinson (“Some Of It” - Eric Church) and he continues to work with some of the brightest talent in Nashville. His first gold record hangs on his mother’s/father’s wall. Drew is a proud member of the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association as well as NSAI (the Nashville Songwriters Association International). When not in the studio or on the road, Drew can be found in Nashville or the NYC area - usually hanging out with any dog he sees. Like - All. The. Dogs. Dave Doobinin Songwriter. Storyteller. Observer of the human condition. Some songwriters chase trends. Dave Doobinin chases truth. A craftsman in the purest sense of the word, Doobinin writes songs that feel lived-in—stories filled with heart, rust, hard-earned wisdom, and the kinds of details that make listeners stop and think, I've felt that too. Drawing from a lifetime of experiences, relationships, and observations, his work sits comfortably at the intersection of Americana, folk, country, and singer-songwriter traditions, where authenticity matters more than polish and great songs outlive the moment. Known for his lyrical depth and conversational storytelling, Doobinin has built a reputation as a songwriter who understands that the most powerful songs aren't always the loudest. They are the songs that reveal something true about being human. Whether writing about love, brotherhood, redemption, family, or the beauty hidden in everyday life, he approaches each song with equal parts honesty and craftsmanship. Influenced by the great storytellers of American music, like Elliott Smith and The Replacements, Doobinin's writing combines vivid imagery with emotional precision, creating songs that feel both deeply personal and universally relatable. His work reflects a belief that music's greatest purpose is connection—to remind listeners they are not alone in their joys, struggles, questions, and hopes. For Doobinin, songwriting isn't simply a profession; it's a lifelong practice of paying attention. Every conversation, every mile traveled, every triumph and setback becomes part of the creative well he draws from. The result is a catalog of songs rooted in sincerity, shaped by experience and guts, and written with the kind of integrity that never goes out of style. In a world increasingly driven by algorithms and fleeting moments, Dave Doobinin remains committed to the timeless art of writing songs that matter.Country · Americanafrom $21.6

7:30pmCollin RayeCity Winery Nashville Presents Collin Raye live on Sunday, December 6th at 7:30pm! Collin Raye…….Born Floyd Elliot Wray on August 22, 1960 in De Queens, Arkansas, country artist Collin Raye was one of the true hit makers of the 1990’s. Collin still continues to crank out soulful, heartfelt material with the honesty and richness that is signature to his vocals alone. With 24 top ten records, 16 #1 hits, and having been a 10 time male vocalist of the year nominee (5 CMA and 5 ACM), this truly electrifying performer of his era remains one of the great voices of our time. Collin Raye is nothing if not passionate. His soulful delivery has set country standards in such searing ballads as “Love, Me,” “In This Life,” “Not That Different” and “If I were you”. Always an energizing showman, he has also blazed through such vivid rockers as “My Kind of Girl,” “That’s My Story,” “I Can Still Feel You” and “I Want You Bad.” Collin shot to fame with “Love, Me” in 1991. Listeners were so moved by this golden and pure voice that this song set the cornerstone for a career built on meaningful and emotional songs that have often been used for weddings, anniversaries, memorial services and funerals. When “Little Rock”, an anthem for those struggling with addition recovery, hit the chart in 1994, its video led to over 100,000 phone calls to Alcoholics Anonymous from folks seeking help in their addictions. “Not That Different” was a song that pleaded for tolerance. “In This Life” became a wedding favorite, and “I Think About You” won awards for its song and video which exposed the exploitation of women and children. Collin Raye has consistently used his stardom to advance social causes. Among the organizations he has supported are Boys Town, First Steps, Al-Anon, Special Olympics, Country Cares About AIDS, Catholic Relief Services, Parade of Pennies, Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, The Tennessee Task Force Against Domestic Violence, The Emily Harrison Foundation, Childhelp USA, Silent Witness National Initiative, Easter Seals, The Life and Hope Network, and Make a Difference Day. It came as no surprise when in 2001 at the Country Radio Seminar, Clint Black presented Collin Raye with the organization’s Humanitarian of the Year award in recognition of Collin’s issue-oriented music and his tireless charity work. The man who has topped the charts with such great songs as “On the Verge,” “One Boy, One Girl,” “What the Heart Wants,” “Every Second”, “That Was a River”, “Anyone Else”, and “If I were you” continues to touch hearts across the globe in both traditional and new ways . Collin Raye’s new outreach is very personal. In 2010, after the loss of his precious 10 year old grandchild, Haley, Collin and his daughter Britanny (Haley’s mother) established The Haley Bell Blessed Chair Foundation to honor her memory. The Foundation supports and assists families of the cognitively and physically disabled with a primary emphasis on supplying wheelchairs and other necessary medical equipment to elevate the quality of life for the disabled family member in need. Collin wrote a very special song for Haley called, “She’s with me”, which carries a powerful message for families of special needs children. Additionally, in 2011 Collin released his first inspirational album, His Love Remains, which quickly shot to #1 on Amazon for inspirational and religious music. Collin continues to perform his traditional country music across America and abroad and has added Christian and Catholic concerts to his tour schedule as well. His autobiography, That’s My Story: The Undefeated Life of Collin Raye, is set for release in early 2014. He currently resides in Nashville, TN with his daughter, Britanny and granddaughter, Mattie.Contemporary country · Americanafrom $42

Missing the free exchange of ideas and the surprises that inevitably occur when a group of simpatico musicians lock together, Farrar assembled a new lineup of Son Volt in 2004 and has since released nine albums. The latest album, Sound Signal Serenades, was released as a special 2026 Record Store Day limited edition LP. Jay Farrar’s work often seeks out the ghosts of America's discordant or forgotten past, converses at length with them, and writes songs that stake a claim to a better future.Alt-country · Alternative rockfrom $42

7:00pmSarah PotenzaThe Lounge at City Winery Nashville Presents Sarah Potenza live on Saturday, December 26th at 7:00 PM! Sarah Potenza has always been larger-than-life. From TV performances in front of 12 million viewers to chart-topping album releases, she's built an eclectic, empowered empire with a voice that's as big as her ambition. But she's never sounded bigger than this. "I'm entering my disco-diva dance era," says the out-and-proud songwriter, who kickstarts a new chapter of her career alongside Grammy-winning producer Dave Audé. "I've always loved glitz and glam. I love drag. I love house music. It's time to make music that lives within that fun, sparkly, shiny world." Years before she began collaborating with Audé — a house music icon who's earned more Number 1 hits than any other producer on Billboard's Dance Clubs Songs, racking up more than 130 chart-topping hits — Potenza grew up in working-class Rhode Island. She was raised by a family of loud-mouthed Italian-Americans who were unafraid to speak their mind, and she developed an appreciation for bold, brassy singers who were similarly confident. Influenced by Tina Turner, Bette Midler, Whitney Houston, and Cher, Potenza became a sharp songwriter and show-stopping singer. "For as long as I can remember, I loved divas," she recalls. "And I always knew I was one, too." When she hit the road in support of critically-acclaimed solo albums like Monster and Road to Rome, though, Potenza couldn't help but feel a little limited. She'd become a household name thanks to prime-time appearances on shows like The Voice and America's Got Talent, and Rolling Stone had even dubbed her "a colossal-voiced singer who merges her old-school influences with a modernistic sound." Fans agreed, sending Road to Rome and its lead single — a cover of Mary Gauthier's "Worthy" — to the top of the iTunes Blues chart. Potenza wasn't only a blues artist, though. She wasn't just a soul singer, either. She had more to offer. "I'd be playing a folk venue in a sequined dress with feathers, and it never really lined up," she remembers. "The frame didn't fit the picture." Things feel different now. The frame fits. Working with Dave Audé, Potenza has unchained her inner disco-ball diva, creating a sound that nods to the dancing queens who came before her — from the Weather Girls to Mariah Carey to Diana Ross — while still thriving in the contemporary world. The collaboration began with a club-friendly remix of Lady A's "Need You Now," propelled by four-on-the-floor percussion and a vocal performance that channels power and pain in equal measure. There's more to come, and the results are stunning. This is music for the dance floor, the bedroom, and all places in between. It's music rooted in melody and movement. It's the sound of an artist's rebirth. Most importantly, it's music that's bombastic enough to support Potenza's voice. She's spent years calling her own shots, chasing down her own sound, and leading the way for fellow women who remain the minority within a male-dominated music industry. She's become an entrepreneur and a queer advocate. That sort of trailblazing work requires someone who's loud enough to rise above the noise, and Potenza continues to wield a voice that deserves — no, demands — to be heard. Maybe you've heard her before. But as she enters her new era, Sarah Potenza proves it's time to listen up all over again.Blues · Jazzfrom $36

Matt Belsante grew up listening to old Frank Sinatra records with his Grandfather and consumed a steady diet of John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Ella Fitzgerald at home. Just out of grade school, Belsante picked up the tenor sax at the age of twelve and became a standard fixture in his middle school and high school jazz bands. He soon found he had a talent for using his voice. By his Senior year at Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville, IL, Belsante had won the prestigious Louis Armstrong Jazz Award in both the vocal and instrumental categories. He was the first student from his school to achieve such a feat. Belsante taught himself to play the guitar and began composing his own music the summer before he entered Nashville’s Vanderbilt University. Before the first day of class commenced, Billy Adair, Director of the Vanderbilt/Blair School of Music Blair Big Band, had already recruited Matt to sing for the Band. Soon, Matt was directing himself, leading the Dodecaphonics, an all-male a cappella campus group. Belsante graduated from Vanderbilt in 2006 with degrees in Engineering Science and Economics. Belsante eventually came to the attention of Nashville’s well-heeled music industry following a performance of the Nashville Jazz Orchestra in 2006. That performance landed him a televised appearance as a featured entertainer for the Miss Tennessee Scholarship Pageant 2006, which eventually led him to GreenHill Music, where he recorded an album of Christmas standards for the independent label. That album, released in 2007, quickly became one of the label’s best selling holiday releases that season. Following the release of "White Christmas," CBL Properties and their advertising agency, KMT Creative Group, tapped the Nashville based audio branding company iV music group to help develop an audio brand for a national campaign advertising CBL's mall properties across the country. iV music group suggested that Belsante become both the voice and the face of the campaign. As a result, Matt was featured in a series of spots on television, radio and internet. Belsante finished recording his second album, "Blame It On My Youth," in 2008. The album is a series of covers of classic Jazz and Big Band standards, along with an original Belsante composition, "Haven't Got Much". The album was released on the Green Hill Music label in September, 2008.Blues · Jazzfrom $30
