You need to get out more. Nashville has no less than 2 doz bands giging in town with members under 21. There is one band thats been gigging in Nashville since they were 14 to 17 years old. The ONLY reason they arent known nationwide is that they were too young to travel. More and more in Nashville studios headhunt well to do Brentwood types whose folks will cough up the cash to rent studios, by all the best gear, etc. Swift is example one. They get notoriety as a novelty. Oh the band i was referring too is the Henry Cruz Band and yes they can play the “one more from the road” version to perfection. When those kids were playing a show in Murfreesboro TN a fairly sober gent seriously wanted them to cover it. It was a small club about 60 folks Guy yelled “ what does it take for yall to play “Freebird”. Henry quipped from the stage, “ we respond well to cash”. Dude dropped a 50 in the pot and they dropped a spot on cover that blew the crowd away.
They have paid their own way every step of the way, written around 30 songs ( and counting) finally after much tooth gnashing over costs, got a demo e p done. They have finally all gotten out of h s. One member turned down an engeneering academic scholarship and is changing oil at quick lube during the day and writing , arranging, and playing at night. Lots of people pouring their souls into music do it for the sheer love of creating something folks dig.
Not to belabor the point but how does a 14 y o kid from Nashville get “ noticed” in a viral moment from a guitar industry show in Dalla TX. Monetary support and purchased publicists. The artist you need to be looking for are those kids that started a band at a young age (14,15) but were serious about what they wanted to do and have been hammerin away at it for 4 or 5 years.
@@dannyguitarwoodgarwood3867 no offense intended. You’re a very talented player who is on his way. I truly love what is happening in and around Nashville with our homegrown talent. Daniel Donato’s meteoric rise based on his extraordinary talent, vision and insane work ethic comes to mind. There are several active solo and full bands playing the edges and knockin it out of park night after night. Some are extraordinary players, some exceptional songwriters, some incredible vocalists and then a few that are all the above. Henry Cruz Band, Snowbird Hollow, Hi Horse, Jake Berman, Jaid, just to name a few. As it seems with your success , these cats would be playin guitar every day somewhere with or without an audience. Just pure unadulterated passion. In fact i was just pinged that HCB and JAID are playing one of the cooler small venues tonight up in Nolensville. Outdoor venue called “When Pigues Fly”. Its being billed as 3 sets. One from Jaid ,(incredible singer songwriter) and a double header from Henry Cruz Band. I’m familiar and have seen both before. If you aren’t covered up come on over. It is a really cool spot. BYOB , reasonable Jackalope Brews, and a food truck or two. Bout a mile into Wilco. Your on your way dude. Strike while the iron is hot. Nashville is the single most competitive environment on the planet for a guitar player. Thats why once a Nashville band begins to travel, they get noticed. If an artist is “payin’ them dues” on one of the 209 stages in Nashville they are excellent or getting excellent fast. Anything less and they are waiting tables.
@@dannyguitarwoodgarwood3867 one last thing. The only thing I play is the radio. I do love live music and will drop almost anything to see a good show. Im not genre specific at all. As long as its done well I can dig a solid bluegrass outfit every bit as much a a solid jazz ensemble.
Besides the music, great young adult .
Dime a dozen, nowa days.
I seriously doubt the title of this video.
