Sitting in The Ryman listening to Jason Isbell is therapeutic. Just what I needed. #lyricgoals #inspiration #jasonisbell #theryman @jasonisbell

Yesterday, I recorded the vocals on three songs for a new musical, and they were really beautiful, haunting melodies. Some of you know that I was a Broadway actress/singer in NYC way back when and it was so rewarding to sing like that again! It was written by Pat Kelly and produced by @wrldjunkie. Thanks to @davidsantos5934 for suggesting me for this project. My daughter even went with me and sang a few lines that needed a teen voice. It was a lovely day and now it's back to getting ready to release my new record where I've finally gotten to the real me. No character to play. Just me. ❤ #broadwaymusicals #musicaltheater #americanamusic #countryartist #musicaltheaternerd #happyplace #davodsantos #clayperry #patkelly

I popped into Grimey's record store yesterday and came across my handsome friend @dougseegersmusic. Doug also wrote a book about his incredible journey from homelessness and addiction to success as an artist and songwriter. He is a very spiritual man and it's a great read. If you want to look it up, it's called, Going Down to the River. ❤ #musicfriends #nashvillemusic #grimeys #nashvillesongwriter #sarahjanenelsonmusic #recordstore #eastnashville #eastnashvilleartist #eastnashvillian

Yesterday's Nashville sunset made me think about the fact that there is beauty in the light and in the dark. The sun must set in order for it to rise again. Wherever you are in the cycle of light and dark, struggle and triumph, find the moments of beauty in all of it and keep going. ❤ #nashvillesunset #sunset #deepthoughts #colorfulsunset #beautiful #skylovers #theonlywayoutisthrough #keepgoing #inspiration #songwriter #nashvillesongwriters #imnotbroken #eastnashvillian #eastnashville

Scroll to watch the video! The 1st experience I had seeing a live band in a bar was in Monroe, Louisiana and band was Cowboy Mouth. I was too young to be in that bar! Nevertheless, that night I danced and sweated and Fred Le Blanc took me on a journey that was magical.
This video clip is from the end of the Cowboy Mouth show last night at Exit/In. Fred is still giving audiences that incredible, soul reviving rock and roll experience. It was extra fun to see my friend @recordmike there! When I was a teen, he owned River Records in my hometown and is now a very important person at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. He's a walking encyclopedia of country music history and such a great guy. We missed you @thephilipnelson

Tonight's show was so much fun, I got a blister on my hand from banging the tambourine so hard! @charlieoverbey is a powerhouse entertainer, and after our set, Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires took the stage! What a night! Having my kids and mom there was a cherry on top. Thanks for having me again, Charlie. Performing with you and your fantastic band is good for my soul.
Scroll to watch a video clip of Amanda and Jason!

My son is so excited about music right now and it gives me joy that I can't describe. I had to pull him away from the piano to take him to school this morning and he played harmonica all the way to school! It was so much fun because he would play and I would make up a folksy story. Tip: Any story sounds folksy when underscored by harmonica. #folkmusic #happymama #musicmama #love

We had a great round last night at The Bowery Vault! It's my second time playing there and I think it may be the best sounding room in Nashville. No joke. I love that place, and the badass women who own it, Vero and Emily, are creating something really special there.

Thanks to Brian Irwin and Brandon Calhoon for joining me and making it a great set of songs! And thanks to everyone who came out and filled the place! ❤

I had so much fun singing "Faithfully" by Journey tonight with the 12 South Getdown led by @kraussviktor and featuring electric guitar goodness by @kevansell. #ilovetosingjourneysongs #12southconcertseries #getdownband

Artist/songwriter, Doug Seegers, is a very special friend of mine and it was a treat to be his guest at an event yesterday honoring @parkcenternashville. This organization reaches out to Nashville's homeless community in a way that is truly changing lives. If you don't know Doug's story, look him up. He's a remarkable person. @dougseegersmusic ❤

What's better than playing the Bluebird Cafe last Sunday? Having my daughter there with me. ❤ I also love this bizarre, video that was supposed to be a photo and then flipped sideways. That's how life feels sometimes but we keep on keepin' on! Lol

I was fortunate to get to know @marygauthier at the Kerville Folk Festival. The encouragement and education she has given me has changed me as a writer. Tonight she and the wonderful @jaimeeharris gave a stunning show at The Bluebird. Having played The Bluebird just a few days ago and sitting in the audience tonight feeling mesmerized by their storytelling, I got a little teary. In my life in Nashville, I have discovered creativity and community far beyond what I knew was possible. ❤

"I can see where you're headed. Sinking more than your swimming. Drowning deep down in your head. Better get busy living. And I believe you're haunted. And you sometimes feel unwanted. And I believe you know your right from wrong. And you can't find your way back from too far gone. And I watch you slip away… and I watch you slip away… and I watch you, I just watch you, I just watch you slip." What a beautiful lyric from @charlieoverbey . The song is called "Slip Away" and you should go download/stream it now! I had the pleasure of joining him here in Nashville the other night and wanted to share a little clip.@charlieoverbey
