7:30pmKarli & JamesKARLI & JAMES- 11.28.26 “There’s nothing like writing songs,” says Karli Chayne, lead singer in rising country duo Karli & James. “The vibe I get when I’m putting my feelings on paper, then turning those emotions into a song…it just does it for me.” Her partner, James Sinclair-Stott, is equally enthusiastic about the recording process: “The really exciting part for me is taking a song we’ve written on acoustic guitar and making it a full-blown, radio-quality production.” Those two perspectives are crucial to the energy this duo brings to their artistry. Karli leans pure country; James leans indie rock, and the result is a refreshingly modern blend that the critics love. “Karli’s winsome soprano takes the lead with James’s soft harmony backing her flawlessly.…Well produced and radio ready,” notes Robert K. Oermann, MusicRow magazine. And the duo is digging even deeper as they mature as a couple and as artists. Someday Dreaming¬, the EP the duo is currently recording, represents the culmination of that growth. Every song is co-written by Karli and James, with James’s as the solo producer. In addition to refining their musical niche, Karli & James have spent the last few years honing their live performance chops and building an audience. In addition to playing historic venues in Nashville, the duo has also opened for Brandy Clark, Lonestar, Uncle Kracker, Casey Donahew, Thompson Square, Mark Chesnutt, Sara Evans and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. www.karliandjames.com Show at 7:30 pm, no cover, tips appreciated, BOOK ONLINE or call 931-490-4550 for show and dinner reservations.Contemporary country · Rock

7:30pmThe Zmed BrothersThe Zmed Brothers- 12.11.26 The Zmed Brothers — Zach & Dylan Zmed — are an Americana brother duo celebrated for their rich blood-harmony vocals, deep reverence for American roots music, and dynamic musicianship. Originally from Southern California’s San Fernando Valley and now based in Middle Tennessee in Nashville’s “Big Backyard,” they are regarded as torchbearers of the storied American tradition of harmony-driven country and roots music, echoing the influence of legends like The Everly Brothers while forging their own creative path. Raised in a household steeped in performance, the brothers’ earliest musical experiences were shaped by a blend of classic American repertoire and theatrical discipline. Their father, actor and singer Adrian Zmed, introduced them to touring life and live performance, while their mother, an educator, fostered their earliest public appearances. From these beginnings, the Zmed Brothers developed an instinctive connection to sibling harmony and American musical storytelling. From 2007 to 2015, Zach and Dylan honed their craft as members of The Janks, a Los Angeles–based indie folk-rock band known for its energetic blend of punk ethos and Americana storytelling. As they grew artistically, they transitioned into performing as a duo throughout the greater Los Angeles area, developing a devoted following of listeners who responded to their original music alongside carefully curated classics. During this formative period they received recognition including Best Country Song at the Global Peace Awards and shared the stage with acclaimed songwriter Billy Steinberg. In 2015, the brothers expanded their artistic mission by creating The Everly Brothers Experience, a deeply researched and passionately performed production honoring the legacy of Don and Phil Everly — two of the most influential sibling performers in American music history. Rather than imitation, their show celebrates the spirit and craft of the Everly Brothers’ close harmonies, country roots, and pioneering contributions to early rock and roll. Their performances have been presented across the United States and overseas, appearing in theaters, performing arts centers, and festivals, consistently praised for their fidelity to the original sound and heartfelt interpretive depth. The Zmed Brothers’ commitment to the country duo tradition extends beyond homage. In Honky Tonk Harmonies, their 2025 full-stage production, they trace the evolution of honky-tonk — from early string bands and Appalachian influences through the golden era of post-war country and rockabilly — weaving historical context, archival storytelling, and original compositions into a narrative celebration of the genre. That same year they launched the Blood Harmony Americana Series, a curated performance series spotlighting the roots of American songwriting via stripped-down, intimate presentations of classic material. They also released their roots-driven holiday album Yuletide Hayride. Across all their endeavors, the Zmed Brothers champion a philosophy rooted in authenticity: honoring musical heritage while advancing it through original creation. Their tight vocal blend, grounded in familial chemistry, and their multi-genre fluency connect audiences to the timeless power of country duet tradition and the broader Americana canon. They continue to perform nationally and internationally under their own name and through thematic projects, building a lasting legacy that bridges generations of American music. www.thezmedbrothers.com Show at 7:30 pm, no cover, tips appreciated, BOOK ONLINE or call 931-490-4550 for show and dinner reservations.Americana

7:30pmCozy Christmas Evening with Tonja Rose & BandCozy Christmas Evening with Tonja Rose & Band- 12.18.26 If you ask Tonja, a singer songwriter, what music means to her she would say this, “Music is part of my yesterday, my today, and God willing…my tomorrows. If you ask Tonja to recall her earliest vocal performance, she would take you back to a little blonde haired, blue eyed girl singing “Jesus on the Mainline.” From the first time that three year old little girl stepped on stage to sing with her Daddy and his gospel quartet, anyone who knew Tonja would tell you that music was her destiny. While growing up Tonja and her dad would travel to every homecoming, family reunion and revival they could get to and share their love of God and music to all who listened. Hailing from the not so big town of Pinetown, North Carolina, it didn’t take Tonja long to become a local favorite, and by the time she graduated from high school Tonja had traveled all over Eastern North Carolina singing with her dad as well as entering and winning several talent competitions. Tonja has a musical gift that has taken her from the stages of hometown churches to auditoriums, amphitheaters and everything in between. It was her love of performing and a hope of pursuing a career in music that gave Tonja the courage to move to Nashville and chase her dreams. Fueled by the love and support of her family she packed up and began the journey. Tonja quickly realized the ups and downs that go along with trying to break into the music business. No stranger to hard work she concentrated on developing her skill as a vocalist and songwriting. Tonja celebrated an important milestone in her music career in 2008 when she signed her first publishing and recording deal with Identical Entertainment. Garnering Billboard charting success in country music, Tonja started to gain attention for her writing skills and had her first Top 20 hit with "Who I Am Ain't Who I Was" Recorded by Ivan Parker and co-written with Mark Narmore and Rob Harris. On April 1, 2016, Tonja’s husband suffered a stroke which led her to stepping away from music. In the interim of her husbands recovery, Tonja struggled with her purpose and why God would let her experience so much in her musical career only to have her husband become sick, making her feel music maybe was not what God had in His plan for her. During this time, she continued to write songs which she called her therapy. The songs that Tonja wrote from 2016 thru 2018 from this experience are what led up to her current album “Me, Jesus and The Highway” which she recorded with John Mathis at Mansion Entertainment / BlueGrass Valley Records. Tonja will tell you that God must have had different plans, and He usually does, because her plan was to walk away from music and His plan involved her having her first Top Ten Single in Singing News Magazine with “When The Mountain Can’t Be Moved”.Folk

7:30pmAustin GrayAustin Gray- 1.22.27 The music of Austin Gray has been described as “a sweet fusion of Country and Americana.” Currently residing in Memphis, Austin began to develop his unique style on the guitar at the age of twelve when he was introduced to the man who would kindle his love for performing. Jody Payne had just retired from 36 years as the lead guitar player for Willie Nelson and became fascinated with the skinny youngster about whom he told others, “reminds me of me.” Several years after Jody’s passing, another Nashville legend took an interest in the young artist. Songwriter Jimmy Yeary—with CMA and ACM Song of the Year Awards—began to mentor Austin regarding all aspects of his career. Currently, the two even do corporate events together—speaking, playing, and singing— demonstrating to business people the purpose and power of mentoring. Austin has become known as one of a handful of artists to whom audiences listen intently. His songwriting—lyrics and music—combine the influences of Jason Isbell, Shakey Graves, Merle Haggard, Sturgill Simpson, and Jimmy Yeary. Mix in a bit of John Prine with some of his original material and you might just have a picture of Austin Gray. austingraymusic.com Show at 7:30 pm, no cover, tips appreciated, BOOK ONLINE or call 931-490-4550 for show and dinner reservations.Classic country · Americana
