After a promising start in the music world, Doc Downs faced an unexpected battle with MS that sidelined his budding career for a decade. But his passion for music never wavered. Now, with a renewed spirit and the fire to perform, he's back on stage, leading a powerhouse trio with drummer Nathan Fleming and bassist Jimmy Flynn. Together, they blend raw emotion and skilled musicianship, delivering energy packed, modern blues music that connects with the heart and soul.The Next Round is the next new thing for musician Doc Downs. Formerly the bassist for several well-loved Nashville rock bands, including Dreaming in English and Kim's Fable, Doc has been in the music scene for over two decades. However, life took an unexpected turn for Doc when his ability to play professionally was impaired by Multiple Sclerosis. Eight years passed while he struggled with the frustration of losing his ability to maneuver a fret board and make a bass or a guitar hum like he'd done for decades. Then a pandemic hit, and while the outside world hit pause, Doc found time to focus inward. The desire to play again started to outweigh the frustration of no longer having the dexterity he once found effortless. Guitar in hand and ego laid aside, his fingers found the strings again and songs began to flow. . . but this time he played the blues. With a little encouragement from lifelong friends in the industry, Doc got back on a stage and started recording again. His gratitude to be able to play again is what spearheaded his next band, Doc Downs and The Next Round, and blues fans have started to take notice.https://ddatnrblues.com/homehttps://www.facebook.com/DDaTNR/"Still on the Run" - https://www.fbrmusic.com/Host - Trey MitchellIG - treymitchellphotography IG - feeding_the_senses_unsensoredFB - facebook.com/profile.php?id=100074368084848Threads - www.threads.net/@treymitchellphotographySponsorship Information/Guest Suggestions  -  ftsunashville@gmail.com

As a female artist in Nashville, history suggests that the quickest path to success is somehow aligning oneself with one of the major publishers, producers, songwriters, labels, or managers that are the heart of Music Row. So what do you do if you are a female artist in Nashville, and also happen to be the granddaughter of musical icon, Willie Nelson?You hook up with an independent producer and veteran of the rock/punk scene, write some songs that are part Loretta Lynn, part Cheap Trick, and form the Raelyn Nelson Band. "I don't really have any desire to be a  'solo-artist'. Everyone in my family who plays music has always placed a lot of importance on band chemistry, on stage, off stage and in the studio. Our band can almost read each other's minds. Why would I mess with that? We try to keep it simple: Write songs we like, record them, make a video, then go out and play them for people."- Raelyn Nelson www.raelynnelsonband.comInstagram @raelynnelsonband You tube: https://youtu.be/S-3usNaqB5ohttps://www.facebook.com/raelynnelsonband"Still on the Run" - https://www.fbrmusic.com/Host - Trey MitchellIG - treymitchellphotography IG - feeding_the_senses_unsensoredFB - facebook.com/profile.php?id=100074368084848Threads - www.threads.net/@treymitchellphotographySponsorship Information/Guest Suggestions  -  ftsunashville@gmail.com

Born in 1966 in San Antonio, TX, King Williams was moved around a lot as a young lad. The moves landed the family in Glenview, IL, a suburb of Chicago. After overcoming the urge to pronounce the “S” at the end of “Illinois”, he moved more freely in northern society and came to genuinely love the city itself. In that time, the need to play music reared its spiny head and he learned how to play bass. Sinking his teeth into it, he became somewhat competent and enjoys playing to this day. King noted, however, that that wasn't likely to provide a steady income, so he created a fall back plan, becoming a recording engineer. A short stint at Columbia College under renown engineer and curmudgeon Malcom Chisholm gave king much of what he'd need to succeed as a recordist, though it was as yet unrealized. These two career paths crisscrossed and caromed off each other, but the lure of steadier work as an engineer eventually landed King a job in Nashville, TN at famed RCA recording studio “A”, then known as “Javelina Recording”. After a few years of that, King went freelance and spent much of his time at local houses such as OceanWay, The Tracking Room and, Sound Emporium. In 2004, King was approached by recently minted Music Director at The Grand Ole Opry, Steve Gibson, to join the staff as broadcast and post production mixer. King was hired on and had been the responsible engineer for that seat for the last 20 years, and will likely still be in that chair through The Opry's 100th anniversary, which will be celebrated throughout 2025."Still on the Run" - https://www.fbrmusic.com/Host - Trey MitchellIG - treymitchellphotography IG - feeding_the_senses_unsensoredFB - facebook.com/profile.php?id=100074368084848Threads - www.threads.net/@treymitchellphotographySponsorship Information/Guest Suggestions  -  ftsunashville@gmail.com

Singer-Songwriter Butch Rice sings with all the colors of love and loss. With every melody, the heartstrings resound as if his acoustic guitar has been handled by one too many, left slightly bruised and worn, but stronger in character and warmer in sound. His rich falsetto radiates warmth, adding powerful depth to each heartfelt word he sings. All the overwhelming desires of the heart, Butch Rice understands. Based in Louisville, KY, His soulful acoustic pop fills the air with themes each of us can identify.He has shared the stage with the talented artists Edwin McCain, Augustana, David Mead, Shawn Mullins, Matthew Ryan, and Vanessa Carlton. He is a past recipient of an ASCAP plus award. He has been featured in Performing Songwriter Magazine's DIY Top 12, and selected for the Perfoming Artist Roster of the Kentucky Arts Council to represent the state of Kentucky. Rice has stuck to his path and developed into one of the most unique singer-songwriters of his era, all the while developing a following who eagerly take to heart his melodic stories in song. If music is the tale of our emotions, our lives, then Butch Rice is one of our truest storytellers.

While The FBR is now a sextet that includes guitarist Evan Opitz, keyboardist Brandon Mordecai, bassist C.J. Singer and former Goo Goo Dolls drummer Mike Malinin, it started with McConaha and Hunter performing as a duo. They met at an open-mike night in 2014 at what was then known as Puckett's Grocery and Restaurant in Leipers Fork, a small rural community 30 minutes southwest of Nashville popular with songwriters and musicians. It was during a period of time when McConaha had discovered the music of Leonard Cohen, who had lived in Leipers Fork himself in the late '60s and early '70s.The group takes its name from another song by Cohen, “Famous Blue Raincoat,” which he recorded in Nashville in September 1970, and that is what the duo began calling themselves after Cohen passed before later shortening it to “The FBR.”One might expect a group named after a Leonard Cohen song to be a folk act or maybe folk-rock, but that's not the case with The FBR. Decades ago, they would have been considered Southern rock, and that's still not a bad description of their music because it's essentially gospel-flavored blues rock with a little boogie on the side. The FBR may work some classic musical territory, but that's not to suggest they're retro. The music on Ghost has a timeless and authentic quality that transcends its roots and gives it a powerful relevance in the postmodern musical landscape.At the heart of The FBR's sound is McConaha's enchanting and soulful voice, which can go from a whisper to a roar. In what seems like a contradiction, her voice is both familiar and different. But despite her obvious vocal gifts, she didn't move to Nashville to be a singer.McConaha also counts Emmylou Harris, Robert Plant, Lucinda Williams, Adele and Amy Winehouse among other vocalists who influenced her. Some have compared McConaha to Maria Muldaur of “Midnight at the Oasis” fame, and their voices do have a similar flowing and sensual quality. On Ghost, the power and allure of her voice is on full display.Work on the album began in 2019 with co-producer Matt Sepanic, and those sessions, which featured backing from studio musicians, yielded three songs — “Rain On,” “Still On The Run” and the album opener and first single, “Before I Drown.” Six other songs, including the next two singles — “Empty Room” and a mashup of a pair of traditional numbers “Hurricane”/“House of the Rising Sun,” which has become a showstopper in their live performances — were recorded with their band in June 2022. “Skies of Donegal Blue,” which features just McConaha and Hunter and provides a glimpse into what they sounded like as a duo, was cut in California in spring 2023 with producer Jim Scott, who also mixed the album.https://www.fbrmusic.com/https://www.instagram.com/thefbr_music/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/theFBRmusic/https://www.youtube.com/@thefbrband?app=desktopHost - Trey MitchellIG - treymitchellphotography IG - feeding_the_senses_unsensoredFB - facebook.com/profile.php?id=100074368084848Threads - www.threads.net/@treymitchellphotographySponsorship Information  -  ftsunashville@gmail.com

Multi-discliplinary artist Buddy Jackson has been working in the visual arts in Nashville, Tennessee for over 40 years. While sculpture is his primary medium, the Knoxville native also works in painting, photography and graphic design and has work placed in private and public collections all over the world and has been published in international media. Among hundreds of honors, Buddy won two Grammys for Album cover art and design. Born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, Buddy attended Young and Doyle High schools and attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, pursuing a major in Oil Painting and minor in Sculpture. “A representation of the human form is the oldest man-made object ever found, and in the millennia that have ensued, the impulse to recreate ourselves has never waned. Much like a classic blues song or a fingerprint, as similar as they may seem to be, no two manifestations of these things can ever be the same.

Having started her career in costume design for clubs where she was a dancer, Harper's experience runs the gamut from film, television, and music videos to world tours, commercial productions, award shows, and documentaries, preservation, and conservation.A performer herself, Harper's passion for fashion design stems from a deepunderstanding of the rich history of textiles and the fashion industry, as well as what her clients need in order to do their jobs to the best of their ability. “I always take the environment into consideration. It is my job to keep my client comfortable at all times. It doesn't matter if you're a singer on tour or an individual coming to me for a gala gown, if you're not comfortable in your clothes, you're not going to be yourself. When it comes to designing, I draw my inspiration from whoever the person is that I'm working with. They must be the original who stands out and sets the standards.”Harper places equal emphasis on historical accuracy and proper preservation in her conservation work. She is also the textile archivist for the Elvis Presley estate. She is no longer full time with Reba but we did 6 years working together. As well she has acted as conservationist and consultant on countless historical projects, restoring pieces for the enjoyment of generations to come.https://houseofharperdesign.com/Host - Trey MitchellIG - treymitchellphotographyIG - feeding_the_senses_unsensoredFB - facebook.com/profile.php?id=100074368084848Sponsorship Information  -  ftsunashville@gmail.comTheme Song - The Wanshttps://www.thewansmusic.com/

Collaborating with Josh Kaler at Pentavarit Studios in Nashville, she poured her heart and soul into every note, infusing her music with her distinctive authenticity.During the process. Sarah found herself recalling the challenges she faced during her early twenties, navigating the Nashville music industry where producers and executives often sought more than her musical talent alone.

Mark Robertson, of bands such as The Ragamuffin Band and Th'Legendary Shack Shakers, adds his expertise on the upright bass.Sarah also crafted the packaging for the limited edition vinyl and CDs with the same love and attention, with hidden messages and symbolism that tie into her other endeavors. An art book of the lyrics is on the way, which connects to the immersive world of her Ramshackle book trilogy. A collection of textiles, murals, wallpapers, and homewares will be released themed to the album's tracks. With meticulous care, the album was mastered by Parachute Mastering and will be released on July 26th.  The Reclamation promises a warm and immersive listening experience for audiences.

Kelli Owens Hutton made a record called Soccer Trophy and in the process created a genre called MomCore.  Soccer Trophy is brutal truth. Two minute guitar driven rock and roll songs about children, middle-age, marriage and all the shit.  It's also funny, revealing and moving. Kelli partnered with Grammy-nominated (in children's music, but still...) producer Liam Davis.  They made the record in her Chicago home studio, aka the laundry room. A multi-instrumentalist Kelli played every instrument except the drums. Ok, she played bass on like half the songs too. A Berklee College Of Music grad and major-label wash out (Atlantic records but who's counting?) Kelli took a long time off making music to raise her kids.  They are a pain in the ass but she loves them anyway.  The Dog of course comes first.  Somewhere in there is also her husband.The second single “Shut Up” will be released August 2024 and the full record will be released in Fall of 2024. kelliowenshutton.comHost - Trey MitchellIG - treymitchellphotographyIG - feeding_the_senses_unsensoredFB - facebook.com/profile.php?id=100074368084848Sponsorship Information  -  ftsunashville@gmail.comTheme Song - The Wanshttps://www.thewansmusic.com/

She has lived in multiple cities from coast to coast and met many diverse and influential people. In early 2019, the journey led her to Nashville, where she plans to leave her mark on listeners and labels alike. Already in her short time in Music City, she has been in the studio with Grammy-winning country artist Rebecca Lynn Howard and rising hip-hop star JC. She has worked alongside veteran artist & producer, Lincoln “Barnone” Morris.

The Floating Men Media Inquiries: Jeff Holmes jeffreynholmes@comcast.net The Floating Men Return for Three Sold Out Shows in April  Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, The Floating Men were among Nashville's most prolific and beloved indie rock bands. Starting out as a hard-touring acoustic rock trio in 1990, the band eventually blossomed into a 7-piece juggernaut that included some of the hottest Americana, rock, and jazz virtuosos in town. “We kept attracting major players till we ended up with David Steele, Chris Cottros, Jody Nardone, Andra Moran and Steve Ebe. As a writer, that kind of musicianship meant I could write anything I wanted, so I did,” co-founders Jeff Holmes chuckles. Fellow co-founder Scot Evans laughs, adding, “…for better or worse.” The Floating Men haven't released a new album or performed live since 2010, but their fans, self-dubbed “The Floatilla,” are as enthusiastic as ever, taking to social media to discuss lyrics, share memorabilia, and swap bootlegs. With the band's blessings, a couple of key instigators went so far as to mix and press two live albums in 2021 from archived recordings. In 2023, the band released the much-anticipated live album “Dreamland,” recorded at an over-the-top performance in 2004. The Floating Men will perform live at 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville April 12, 13 and 14, 2024.

"Some folks thought The Wans were dead in the water. I like to think we were in hibernation,” says lead singer Simon Kerr of the Nashville based rock band, The Wans. Described as sounding “like The Stooges having a baby with Stone Temple Pilots” by Classic Rock Magazine, the group are welcoming their highly-anticipated fourth LP Magical Touch, which includes 11 songs that showcase a refreshing new approach that is sure to perk up your ears. Magical Touch will be released on July 26, 2023, which is exactly 11 years to the date of their first release.The Wans' new eleven-song LP, Magical Touch, was co-produced, recorded and mixed by Michael Fahey at Starbird Sound in Nashville using vintage recording equipment and recorded live with minimal overdubs. With two new additions to the band, Akshay Narang and Noah Denney, it was sure to add to the expansion of the sonic qualities. Noah Denney, formerly of Tyler Bryant and The Shakedown and who originally played bass in The Wans, now sits behind the drums. “The new sound is so exciting for me. We've known Akshay for over a decade and bonded over everything from Nine Inch Nails to Depeche Mode so it was only natural to ask him to play some synth and guitar with the band.”, says Kerr.The hard-touring Wans have been on the rise for a while now, playing major festivals like Austin City Limits, Voodoo Fest, Forecastle and Hangout Fest, and sharing bills with Pearl Jam, Beck, and Queens of the Stone Age. They recorded their 2014 album He Said She Said, with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, Rival Sons), the acclaimed record landed them press at USA Today, NME, Consequence of Sound, The AV Club, and more. Not only that, the band's music has been featured everywhere from major motion picture Point Break and TV shows like Nashville, Longmire, and Necessary Roughness to a powerhouse commercial for BMW'S 4 Series Gran Coupe, which was soundtracked by the band's muscular riff rocker "Black Pony."“This record feels like my novella, a journey similar to Steinbecks ‘East of Eden'. It took 4 years to write and a week to record.” says Kerr. There's no doubt that The Wans wore their influences proudly on their sleeves, like Queens of the Stone Age and Nirvana, but this record feels more precise and like nothing we've heard before from the band. There are certainly hints of 80's and 90's Brit-Pop influences, but the songwriting has become more focused and that's not an overthought.” Kerr continues, “My dad, Tony Kerr, has been my main songwriting partner since I was 16. Some Father-Son's bond over fishing, but we bond over writing songs. It's become effortless when we write together.”Bassist Thomas Bragg states, “Simon and I have been so excited with what's going on in the Irish/British music scene in the last few years. Bands like Idles and Fontaines D.C have made some of the best records of the last decade and I think that definitely had an effect on our music and this record.”The Wans' have always shared a brotherhood and love for making rock n' roll, which is much needed in today's overall climate and music scene. Lyrically, this record purposefully radiates self-awareness, love, and togetherness. “The Wans' are everything to me. When it comes to the song's they're all we have.” says Kerr. The great Joe Strummer once said, “People have got to stop pretending they're not in the world. It's time to take that humanity back into the center of the ring and follow that for a time. Think on that. Without people you're nothing.”Host - Trey MitchellIG - treymitchellphotography   IG - feeding_the_senses_unsensoredFB - facebook.com/profile.php?id=100074368084848

Cora Jane is from a small town in upstate NY and now lives in Nashville after doing time in LA. She has always loved singing, and music in general and was obsessed with Brenda Lee growing up and wanted to be her (she met her when she was 13). She went to Bard College for Art History where she was awarded a vocal scholarship, which allowed her to work closely with voice teacher Arthur Burrows. Cora also taught herself to play guitar her senior year, which was really serendipitous. After school, she played in a band with her parents and did local farmers markets and cafés. A few years later, she pushed herself to try and write songs and fell in love with the challenge of making something equal parts meaningful, candid and catchy. She took a few classes at the Songwriting School of Los Angeles in Burbank, where her teacher, Kevin Fisher, became a co-writer and friend, helping her pen my first release Growing Pains.Cora got her first official songwriting cut with Lying to Myself on Kalie Shorr's record, Open Book: Unabridged, which was a Rolling Stone Country Music Pick. Aside from music, she loves people, beer,  exploring historic places and weird towns, hanging out, talking about life/the universe, shopping and finally learning piano.https://www.cora-jane.com/https://www.instagram.com/corajane/https://open.spotify.com/artist/0S5EZgJ5Prm8HZzHYXiNxM?si=JSodEl14QNaB9zPZ6TGjMA&nd=1https://soundcloud.com/cora-janeHost - Trey MitchellIG - treymitchellphotographyIG - feeding_the_senses_unsensoredFB - facebook.com/profile.php?id=100074368084848Sponsorship Information  -  ftsunashville@gmail.comTheme Song - Damien HorneTake It From Me @damienhorne
