Brooke and Steve Giannetti Welcome Photographer Ed Rode To Patina Home & Garden in Leiper’s Fork

Rode, Joined by Songwriter Don Henry, Will Sign New Book “Songwriter Musician” 

Leiper’s Fork, Tenn. – (June 16, 2025) Design duo Brooke and Steve Giannetti will welcome legendary photographer and author Ed Rode to Patina Home & Garden in Leiper’s Fork to sign his critically acclaimed book “Songwriter Musician.” The book signing will take place from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m., CDT, June 21, 2025, with music session from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. CDT. Location is 4149 Old Hillsboro Road, Leiper’s Fork, TN 37064

“We’re excited to welcome photographer and book author Ed Rode, along with songwriter Don Henry, to Patina,” Brooke Giannetti said. “Spotlighting creative endeavors, especially books and music, is our sweet spot. We invite everyone to come out and enjoy a wonderful day in Leiper’s Fork.”

Ed will be signing copies of his book, sharing his favorite behind-the-scenes stories from decades spent photographing music legends, and also jamming live with renowned songwriter Don Henry.

Rolling Stone said the book is “A standout among country music books.” Ed Rode’s lens captures Nashville’s icons and underdogs with equal heart.

The subjects span generations and genres, each portrait precisely capturing the individual, their humanity, and their artistry. Inside its pages are found a teenaged Taylor Swift spinning and smiling, beaming as superstardom barrels her way. “I Fall to Pieces” songwriter Hank Cochran stretches back on a well-worn hammock, in the exact spot where he searches the sky for timeless hits. A grateful glint flashes in George Strait’s eyes, hours before he receives his place in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

“I deeply believe in the power of visual storytelling,” Rode said. “It’s my passion and life’s work. Making authentic connections and capturing real moments bring stories to life.”

This is a one-of-a-kind event, not to be missed. The public is invited to come and enjoy the music, the memories and the magic of a true Nashville icon.
