Sofar Sounds Comes to Nashville

 

A few months back we had a chance to review the Sofar Sounds DFW show in Denton, TX which ended up being one of our favorite reviews not to mention "new favorite way to watch a show."

If you're not familiar Sofar Sounds, started March 2009 in London, England, brings together artists and bands with music fans to intimate living room settings all across the globe.

Not long after our Sofar DFW review we were asked if we'd like to help get things started in Nashville and of course we jumped at the chance!
The Nashville team quickly took shape through coordination from Sofar London, Sofar DFW and global music scout Mary Elizabeth who spearheaded the mission to launch the Nashville team.

Zach Galifianakis & his Classic Alt Pop/Tropical Country Love...

So there is this "old soul sound" coming out of Nashville singer/songwriter Courtney Jaye who spent many years living in Kauai, Hi and you can total hear that flavor.
Her love of The Grateful Dead and Neal Young is obvious but doesn't take away from her ability to throw down on bluegrass jam when timing is ripe!
Classic Alt Pop/Tropical Country tag was not our attempt at being cute with a title, it's a self describe genre along with a quote from Mr. Z.G. featured within Courtney's About section of her facebook...

"Courtney Jaye's wonderful throwback voice makes for splendid grooves. In a business where you don't think there are any more authentic crooners left, you stumble across a record like this & have faith that the tradition will be carried on. "Box Wine" has become a theme song of mine when thirsty and looking for haziness. Courtney Jaye is a talented recording artist with real style, class & talent.... Unlike most of the jerkoffs in her business. I so adore this record."-Zach Galifianakis

Courtney's anticipated 2012 release of her album "Love and Forgiveness" is being produced by Mike Wrucke who also produced "Revolution" for Miranda Lambert back in 2009.
