— ABOUT —

Founded in 2012 by Ashley L. Evans, we have featured over 750 acts playing all original music. Co-hosted by Emcee Papa Raines, we bring a connection to our fellow creatives to meet other artists, share their art, and find their people. Over the years we have connected so many types of talent from players to singers, writers to their bands, songwriters to other writers, bands to managers and lawyers and agents and more!

We were the original All Original Music Show on Broadway with our monthly residency right in the heart of downtown Nashville at Tin Roof Broadway from 2012-2019. We moved to The Sutler for 2020-2022.

We have hosted two Songwriter Christmas shows with Jay Bragg in 2021/2022 and in 2023 we plan to take the show on a 4 show tour - Nashville, New York City, Boston, and Portland, Maine.
