Description
About Georgia:
Georgia English is a songwriter and performer residing in Nashville, TN. Her unique songwriting voice blends the tangled roots of Americana music with a contemporary female perspective, flourishing in the space between humor and melancholy.
Since releasing her debut full length album, Good Girls, in 2015, English has toured extensively across the United States, winning over diverse audiences from coast to coast.
English developed her voice and songwriting by busking in San Francisco subway stations as a teenager and learning from seasoned roots musicians. Monterrey County Weekly calls her “an invigorating blend of modern and retro.” Since then, she has shared the stage with artists such as Jim Lauderdale, Joan Osborne, The California Honeydrops, and Son Little.
English will be releasing her upcoming record, Learn To Drive, in the Summer of 2019.
In addition to her work as a musician, Georgia is co-founder and co-CEO of a 501c3 non-profit, Girls Write Nashville, which empowers middle and high school girls in Davidson County through songwriting, mentorship, and music production.
About My Politic:
“...guardians of a mountain music that digs as deep as the hills themselves." - The Alternate Root
“These are the reasons I feel the way I feel, I drink the way I do, I am the way I am,” lead singer-songwriter Kaston Guffey explains of his band My Politic’s new album 12 Kinds Of Lost. “Its pretty dark,” he says, “but honest.”
My Politic has created a storytelling masterpiece on 12 Kinds Of Lost, exploring the human condition through empathetic narratives against a backdrop of Appalachian-influenced Americana, Country & Folk music.
12 Kinds Of Lost is an anthology record with each song telling tales through a series of characters coping with heartache, depression, anxiety, detaching from roots, dealing with cancer and fighting addiction.
Like a 1-2 punch, Guffey is a raconteur of imagination while co-writer Nick Pankey is the grounding force that accentuates the songcraft. With tight harmonies and a workshop of instruments including Dobro mandolin, upright bass, fiddle, drums and more, the songwriting duo is surrounded by a band of skilled musicians.
Guffey and Pankey met in 2003 in the small town of Ozark, Missouri while playing in other musical projects. In 2006, My Politic was formed and at the age of 16, the boys recorded their first album,A Few Words I Couldn’t Find Yesterday. A train carried them to Boston with two records under their belts, and the duo began honing their sound with living room recordings. After three years in New England, they settled into Nashville, TN.
The two set up shop, writing and picking on their front porch. The house became a staple, coined the Mad Valley Lodge, the home that would become the well where the songs of 12 Kinds Of Lost layed, honored by its image as the album’s artwork. A musician’s collective, the house is a landing spot for intimate performance showcases of fellow troubadours passing through Nashville. Pankey documents the happenings on his Mad Valley Lodge podcast.
12 Kinds Of Lost is My Politic’s first studio album, a progression from their previous bare bones and basement recordings released previously. This is a band that represents togetherness and community. Like old cowboys used to sit around a fire telling fables, My Politic shares tales of uncharted territory where great art still blossoms.
My Politic is: Kaston Guffey (vox, guitar), Nick Pankey (guitar, vox) Will Cafaro (upright bass, electric bass), Jen Starsinic (fiddle)
About Hidden Creek:
How to find us - we’re called “Hidden” Creek for a reason! Navigate to our street address at 8468 Lewis Road (between McCrory and Hwy 100 in Bellevue), then follow the long gravel driveway and homemade Hidden Creek signs all the way back. Free parking is available in the grass along both sides of the driveway. Follow the lights to the mini-barn at the back of the property.
What to expect - we are friendly and very laid back! The atmosphere will be sort of a mix between a living room concert, the Bluebird Cafe, and a private studio session. Come on in and make yourself at home. You're part of the Hidden Creek family now. :)
Snack bar - we serve a variety of light snacks (chips, fresh popcorn, shelled peanuts) and drinks (water, soda, beer, wine), and our daughter Ellie bakes bars & brownies, all for a suggested donation. We would prefer if you don’t bring your own beverages.
Thank you, and we can’t wait to see you! ~ Kevin & Angie
