Congratulations to Dmm artist Spady Brannan on his new novel "The Touch"







Congratulations to Dmm artist Spady Brannan on his new novel "The Touch"   Read the first 6 pages on amazon and get exclusive insight on the writing process and more at "The Touch" Facebook page.

I set out on the road of adventure exploring and experiencing the outer world in my late teens. This wondrous journey took me to the far corners of the world. I was busy making music, performing on many stages with many great artists.When home and Nashville called my name,I retired from the world of travel and wondered what the next step in my life was destined to be. Creativity in a new dimension blossomed as the order of the day as my inner journey began. I began to write songs for some of the greats in Country Music as well as Contemporary Music. I had the experience of becoming one of the top session players in Nashville. I recorded two solo CDs, while discovering that I had also become quite a teller of stories. “THE TOUCH” is my debut novel and all the way through the process of writing it I became more and more aware of how this progression in my life’s journey was to be my next step. My wish is that you will enjoy reading it. You see… fingers accustomed to playing musical instruments became quite adept at two-finger typing. May you enjoy the journey through my book.
Namaste
Spady Brannan

GRETA GAINES TO RELEASE LIGHTHOUSE & THE IMPOSSIBLE LOVE MAY 14, 2013


Share this:

NASHVILLE—March 19, 2013- Singer/songwriter, guitarist, television personality, professional sportswoman, activist and mother, GRETA GAINES, will release Lighthouse & The Impossible Love on May 14, 2013, on her own Big Air Records.

Lighthouse & The Impossible Love is the follow up to her 2008 Justice Records release, Whiskey Thoughts, which was lauded by Vintage Guitar Magazine as “one of the best records of 2008” and went to number one on Sirius/XM for most plays. The 10 new tracks for Lighthouse & The Impossible Love were recorded with longtime friend, multi-instrumentalist and engineer Eric Fritsch (Willie Nelson, Sheryl Crow, Scott Miller) in his Nashville-based Eastwood Studios. Primarily tracked live in the studio, it has the vibe of an intimate show, tweaked with a plethora of vintage gear. This is Gaines’ most fully realized effort to date; it is personal, honest and raw.
Gaines emerged in 1992 when she became the first Women’s Extreme Snowboarding Champion. In 1997, she co-hosted the Big Air Snowboard Competition on the first MTV Sports and Music Festival. From 2000 to 2002, she hosted “FREERIDE with Greta Gaines,” a half-hour show on the Oxygen Network. In 1999, she released her self-titled debut, followed by the 2003 release of It Was Hot and Can’t Kill The Flavor in 2006. Greta has played Lilith Fair and toured as the opening act for Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morissette, The Mavericks, Tori Amos and DJ Phillipe Solal in Europe. She also performed at the 2003 Farm Aid. She was a correspondent on ESPN2's "BassCenter" and "The New American Sportsman" and is still a competitive, professional fly fisherman. Her music has been licensed by ESPN, MTV, Oxygen Network and more as well in the soundtracks for “The Hottest State” and “Virgil Bliss.” Greta is a board member of NORML founding member of the newly established Norml Women's Alliance Foundation; she has become a featured speaker on Industrial Hemp and medical marijuana law reform.

Gaines has been featured in countless newspapers and magazines including Relix, Performing Songwriter, Harper’s Bazaar, NY Times, USA Today, Women’s Sports and Fitness, Sports Illustrated For Women, High Times and US Weekly. She appeared on “Good Morning America” in 2008 behind Whiskey Thoughts.

In addition to the new CD, Gaines recently contributed vocals on a duet with the legendary Donovan. His new single, “Harmonica Girl,” will be released via KCRW on April 20, 2013.

In other news, Gaines will perform and speak at the High Times Cannabis Cup which will be held April 20-21 in Denver, CO. She will open for The Mavericks at The Cannery in Nashville on Tuesday, April 23rd.
