Chapter 611
It’s official – 2019 has begun.
I know this because the Grammy Nominee Party took place on Thursday (Jan. 24). This annual event always signifies to me that the New Year is truly underway.
“This really does mark the New Year,” agreed Dale Bobo, “So it does make sense to still say, ‘Happy New Year’ at it.”
“I guess this means I have to start keeping office hours five days a week now,” quipped Chaz Corzine in jest.

Not only is it the first big music-biz bash of the year, it is the only one that brings together people from just about all the genres in this town.
“The nominees this year reflect the diversity of music in our community,” said Recording Academy Nashville chapter exec Alicia Warwick.
“Nashville is represented in 32 categories with 120 nominees,” added chapter president Trey Fanjoy. “Our diversity is something we’re incredibly proud of.”
Celebrating at the bash were such nominees as Jason Crabb (gospel), John Prine (Americana), Halestorm (rock), The Isaacs (gospel), Little Big Town (country), Sister Sadie (bluegrass), Mary Gauthier (folk), Kristin Wilkinson (arranging), Lee Ann Womack (Americana), Kenneth Pattingale (engineering), Daniel Tashian & Ian Fitchuk (Album of the Year), Michael W. Smith (CCM), The Martins (gospel), Dave Cobb (Record of the Year), Margo Price (Best New Artist), Anderson East (American Roots) and pianist Gordon Mote (gospel).
Songwriting nominees abounded, not surprising in a town built on song craftsmanship. Nicolle Galyon, David Hodges, Waylon Payne, Jon Nite, Rhett Akins, Jessie Jo Dillon (did you know she is Dean Dillon’s daughter?), Luke Laird, Ross Copperman, Ben Glover, Ben Hayslip, Chase McGill and Jordan Sapp signed up for the merriment. All have pronounced themselves thrilled to be Grammy nominated.

Legendary Rock n Roll, Country Music and Rockabilly Hall of Fame member Brenda Lee was there. Her classic “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” is going into the Grammy Hall of Fame this year. What took the Academy so long?
“I never thought this would happen,” said Brenda. “We cut ‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree’ in 1958, and we knew it was a special song. It was recorded in the Quonset Hut with Owen Bradley and the A-Team and the Anita Kerr Singers.”
Here’s a harmonic convergence. The late Hank Garland played lead guitar on the record. Waylon Payne, who is Grammy nominated this year, portrayed the musician in the movie Hank. Naturally, Waylon and Brenda had a bonding moment.
“I want to thank the Academy for not forgetting us old timers,” added Brenda. “God love you. God bless you. And keep on rockin.’”
Dolly Parton (“Coat of Many Colors”) and Jeannie C. Riley (“Harper Valley P.T.A.”) also have Grammy Hall of Fame recordings this year.
This party always seems extra schmoozy to me. Maybe that’s because it is the first community-wide bash of the year.

Sharing the warmth and camaraderie were Leslie Fram, Lesley Roberts, Sherod Robertson, Jody Williams, Sally Williams, Lindsey Clark, Lyndsay Cruz (she’s the new ACM Lifting Lives exec), Jordan Reynolds, Jordan Sapp, Brandi Simms, Earle Simmons, Ed Morris, Eddie Perez of the Mavericks, Fletcher Foster, Ronna Rubin and Butch Baker.
Plus, Mark Bright, Mike Sirls, Lori Badgett, Lisa Harless, Dan Hill, Debbie Linn, Jimmy Wheeler, Jeff Balding, Jules Wortman, Joe Chambers, Jeremy Ivey, Terry Hemmings, Tracy Gershon, Alison Jones, Chuck Ainlay, David Corlew, Gary Kraen, George Walker IV, Pat Higdon, Beverly Keel, Nick DiFuscia, Phil Thornton, Dan Hill, Chris Keaton, Frank Liddell, Carla Wallace, Erika Wollam Nichols and just about every other fabulon you’ve ever met.
The event took place at Loew’s Vanderbilt Plaza Hotel. The catering department hit a home run with sweet & sour chicken sandwiches, beet & blue cheese salad, bourbon bacon tarts, lobster pasta, smoked-trout dip sliders, crackers, nuts and heirloom cheeses. Desserts included salted caramel brownie pudding cups, French macaroons, and chocolate truffles.
The Birdsong Trio embellished the cocktail party with lovely jazz instrumentals. I led the cheers for their efforts.
“A Grammy nomination is a true symbol of dedication to your craft,” said Fanjoy. “Please give all of these nominees a thundering round of applause. You guys have a great time!”
We did.

Station Inn’s J.T. Gray To Be Honored With SERFA Award
J.T. Gray
The Southeast Regional Folk Alliance (SERFA) will present its highest honor, the SERFA Award, to two couples and two individuals on May 17 during its 12th Annual Conference at the Chattanoogan Hotel. J.T. Gray, four-decade owner of the Station Inn in Nashville, will be an honoree as well as dancer/choreographer Eileen Carson Schatz, musician Mark Schatz, musician/philanthropist Fletcher Bright, and Norman and Nancy Blake.
Norman and Nancy Blake have earned four Grammy nominations, separately and together creating some forty albums. Chattanooga native Norman and his wife Nancy began recording together in 1974 and spent many years thereafter performing, recording, and playing music for the joy of it. Before that, Norman had already played on recordings by Bob Dylan, John Hartford, and Johnny Cash. Fletcher Bright, who passed away in 2017 at 86, belonged to the Dismembered Tennesseans band for seventy years. He flourished as a realtor, led the Three Sisters Festival, and gave back to the geographical and musical community. J.T. Gray has owned Nashville’s foremost bluegrass club, the Station Inn, since 1981. He converted the Inn’s original coffeehouse/jam session format into a performance venue that has survived for the long haul. A pioneer in bringing percussive dance to performing arts stages and the general public, Eileen Carson Schatz, who became a Green Grass Clogger in 1974, co-founded the Fiddle Puppets five years later. She developed the Fiddle Puppets into Footworks Percussive Dance Ensemble in 1994. Mark Schatz has played bass in a host of leading bands and with foremost artists including John Hartford, Tony Rice, Spectrum, Tasty Licks, Tim O’Brien, Claire Lynch, and Nickle Creek.

Dan + Shay wrapped a sold-out UK headlining run last night (Jan. 24) at the famed O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London. The tour included stops in Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol and Cambridge. AEG presented the multi-Platinum-selling, chart-topping pair with a plaque commemorating the accomplishment. This latest milestone follows a four-week reign at No. 1 on the country airplay charts with their mega-hit single “Speechless.”
Along with their global smash “Tequila,” which was the most-streamed country song released in 2018 and is currently climbing the Adult Contemporary and Pop charts, they held the top two positions on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs for six consecutive weeks – making them the only duo in history to do so. Dan + Shay will perform “Tequila” on the 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards on February 10, where they are nominated for both Best Country Duo / Group Performance and Best Country Song.

New Music Debuts: Kassi Ashton, Lauren Jenkins, John King, Easton Corbin, King Calaway
/by Lorie HollabaughSeveral artists are rolling out new music out Friday (Jan. 25). Kassi Ashton has released the new song “Violins.” Produced by Luke Dick and Luke Laird, the empowering anthem is available now on all digital streaming platforms, and includes an accompanying lyric video. “We (Natalie Hemby, Luke Dick and I) were sitting in Luke’s studio one morning. We got on the subject of my exes and how all of them had been unfaithful to me,” Kassi said. “We were discussing the steps of getting over it and how they usually all come running back, whining, begging for a second chance. That’s when I rolled my eyes, raised two fingers to my ear and mimicked what my dad used to call ‘the world’s smallest violin’ to accompany their take-me-back tears. I started joking, saying that for most, I didn’t even care to serenade their second chance efforts. I didn’t have time for that because I have better shit to do. It was Natalie’s idea to call it ‘Violins’ and Luke brought the funk. I just had to bring the attitude and experience.”
Lauren Jenkins has released the new track “Running Out of Road.” The song is the latest from her debut album No Saint, due out March 15 via Big Machine Records. She has previously released acoustic videos including “No Saint”, “Give Up The Ghost” and “Maker’s Mark & You” and each compliments the First Look Video teasing the full concept for an upcoming short film of the same name Jenkins created and stars in that sets her music and passion for storytelling against the backdrop of the American West.
John King is also releasing his latest single “Try Saying Goodbye” today via all digital outlets. The mid-tempo single penned by King, Paul DiGiovanni and Jamie Paulin explores the universal difficulties of negotiating relationships and hits close to home for King, who’s been with his high school sweetheart since he was 15 and understands the importance of shallowing your pride for the sake of relationships. “This is hands down one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written,” says King. “Looking back, there were so many times I almost let my pride get in the way of what was really important. When we wrote this song, I tried to imagine what it would have been like if I would have said goodbye in tense situations. I would have missed out on so many blessings in my life.”
Easton Corbin debuts his new single “Somebody’s Gotta Be Country” today across all digital platforms. In tandem People.com world premiered the video for the song this morning. “Somebody’s Gotta Be Country” was penned by Ashley Gorley, Dallas Davidson and Rhett Akins. On Tuesday, Corbin world premiered the song live on Sirius XM’s The Highway with Storme Warren before hitting The Stage on lower Broadway in Nashville later that evening to perform for a standing-room-only crowd of fans, industry and media.
Six-piece band King Calaway releases their debut self-titled EP today. Featured on the EP is King Calaway’s debut single “World For Two,” a track that shows the group’s sonic range by mixing groove, grit and rootsy stomp. The song’s music video premiered on People.com this morning. “We are over the moon to finally have these new songs out for people to listen to. As a group, all we want is to make a positive influence with our music, and we hope everyone who listens to the record hears that,” says KC’s Simon Dumas. “After months of making this EP the best it could be, we’re thrilled to finally release it.”

Recent Middle Tennessee State University graduate Tay Keith has already notched top production credits, and a Grammy nomination, for his work with artists including Drake (“Nonstop”), Eminem (“Not Alike”) and Travis Scott (“Sicko Mode”). While making his own mark on the music scene, he’s also making it a point to help others who aspire to be part of the music industry.
James Spencer IV, an 11th grade student at Nashville Big Picture High School, inked a production agreement with Keith’s production company, Dramatized, on Jan. 23. Spencer, who also plans to attend Keith’s alma mater MTSU after graduation, hopes to become a record producer and own his own record label.
“I’m excited, just really excited,” said the 16-year-old, who recently completed an internship at Notes for Notes, an after-school recording studio housed in the local Boys and Girls Club.
“I’ve had my eye on a couple of producers in Nashville and he just rose to the top,” said Keith. “He listened well, paid attention to what we told him and was just a very humble person to work with.”
