Nashville in SB
The Seal Beach Chamber is hosting a four-day Nashville on the Coast event that started March 9 and continues until March 12. It features Songwriter Rounds at five local venues. Each intimate round will spotlight three Nashville singer-songwriters. Nashville, Tennessee, is the heart of country music and the home to places like the Country Music Hall of Fame, RCA Studio B, The Grand Ole Opry and Lower Broadway. Lower Broadway, like Main Street in Seal Beach, is filled with people having fun, eating good food and listening to great music. A Songwriter Round is a time-honored Nashville tradition in which a group of three or four songwriters share a stage and take turns singing one of their songs, first sharing quick stories about the inspiration for the song and rotating throughout the evening.
The three singer-songwriters featured are Kaleb Garrett, Michael Jay Hughes and Scott Fleetwood.
Each of them is making a name for himself on the competitive Nashville scene.
Hughes is an authentic country artist, and a throwback to ’80s and ’90s country with a powerful voice. His latest release, “Keith Whitley Songs,” is gaining popularity and includes an award-winning single “Playing with Fire.”
Garrett has opened for artists including Travis Tritt, Three Dog Night and Diamond Rio. He broke into the Top 100 of the country charts with “Only One,” a single released in the spring with acclaimed Nashville producer Larry Rogers.
Fleetwood, known by fans as the “Beach Cowboy,” recently released the country-rocker “Blaze Through the Change” and “It’s Time” featuring Tina Vonn.
The three artists will appear today, March 10, at Hennessey’s Tavern on Main Street; on March 11, at Glory Days Beachside Grill; and on March 12, at Bogarts Coffee House in the afternoon and O’Malley’s on Main in the evening.
The artists are also meeting with the Los Alamitos High School Show Choir to talk about the music industry.
The Los Al Show Choir will travel to Nashville two weeks later to defend its National Grand Championship at the Grand Ole Opry.
