    Hey y’all — I’ve lived in Nashville for over 20 years, writing songs, co-writing on Music Row, and performing country music from coast to coast. I love Music City — especially the history of Music Row. Come join me on a walking tour! You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at this iconic area from someone who’s been in the writing rooms, worked with musicians who knew the legends, and lived the musical heartbeat of this town. We’ll walk past the studios and landmarks where country and rock ’n’ roll history were made. Along the way, I’ll share some of my own experiences and maybe even play a tune or two. It’s laid-back, personal, and different every time. My goal is to keep it fun and meaningful with real stories from the road and the Row. We’ll wrap things up with a private acoustic performance — possibly in my favorite Music Row dive bar! **Note:** I only offer a few of these per month and require at least 3 days' notice to book. Feel free to message me with questions before booking!
