Jolene with Sean Cunningham
2024-09-13 19:30 - 22:00 | The Mockingbird Theater at The Factory at Franklin, 230 Franklin Road, Bldg 6, Franklin, TN, 37064, United States
Jolene’s what you call a unicorn, as authentically Nashville as you can get.
As her name suggests, Jolene comes from a rich musical background growing up in Franklin, Tennessee. Her dad, celebrated sound engineer and songwriter Donivan Cowart, was working with Dolly when she was born. A studio mouse from the time she was born, she soaked in the influences of Johnny, Emmylou, and Willie. She listened to Rodney Crowell and Roseanne Cash records being mixed and vocals layered with Lee ann Womack. And it all made a lifelong lasting impression on her and taught her the power of sharing our stories through music. And as she grew up and started collecting records by Sheryl Crow, the Chicks, and Reba, her own unique blend of roots Americana, 90s vibes became her signature sound and a storied life, her coal mine.

Celebrate Westhaven Porchfest on September 21st, 2024!

Resurrection-A Journey Tribute and Child’s Anthem-The Music of Toto. Both are considered the gold standard in tribute bands!

Join us for a day of fun and festivities as we celebrate Westhaven Porchfest. This popular annual event brings friends and neighbors together to celebrate Middle Tennessee’s incredible musical influences while enjoying the beautiful Westhaven community. From free live music around the neighborhood during the day to delicious food and drinks, to the ticketed evening concert, there is something for everyone.
This year’s evening concert features Resurrection – A Journey Tribute and Child’s Anthem – The Music of Toto.
Resurrection – A Journey Tribute is considered ‘The Gold Standard’ by which all Journey tributes are measured, faithfully recreating the experience of a 1980’s Journey concert. This dynamic band has featured some of Nashville’s hottest musicians, many have performed, written, or recorded with the biggest names in the music industry – including Journey and Steve Perry. Every show is a brilliant reproduction of sights and sounds designed to captivate and transport audiences to the glorious age of arena rock when Journey reigned atop the Billboard charts and sold-out arenas across the country.
Child’s Anthem is a collection of some of Nashville’s finest studio musicians and features Westhaven favorites Keith and Janna Landry. The band was heavily influenced by the members of Toto, who were themselves the kings of the LA recording scene in the 70’s and 80’s. “We were always jamming on Toto songs in between takes in the studio. Eventually, we realized we ought to give everyone an opportunity to enjoy this music as much as we do. That’s why Child’s Anthem was formed. Above all, the songs are incredibly fun to play. The response to the band has been very gratifying,” said Keith.

Child’s Anthem is a collection of some of Nashville’s finest studio musicians and features Westhaven favorites Keith and Jana Landry. The band was heavily influenced by the members of Toto, who were themselves the kings of the LA recording scene in the 70’s and 80’s. “We were always jamming on Toto songs in between takes in the studio. Eventually, we realized we ought to give everyone an opportunity to enjoy this music as much as we do. That’s why Child’s Anthem was formed. Above all, the songs are incredibly fun to play. The response to the band has been very gratifying,” said Keith who was a part of Toto for the Hydra tour.
You can’t have a Toto tribute band without someone to sing Bobby Kimball’s demanding lead vocals. Child’s Anthem is fortunate to have Keith Landry on board. He toured and sang with Toto in their prime in the 1980’s. That’s as authentic as it gets! The rest of the band’s passion for the music and technical expertise is equally impressive.
Child’s Anthem brings to life the entire range of Toto’s music – from sweeping ballads to R&B to screaming rock songs. Don’t miss the chance to see them!
