This five track project included songs that are fan favorites like ‘Ain’t Gonna Be Mine’ and ‘Unwrite Every Song’ but also a new ballad song, ‘I Would’ about the power of regret. Emily also released the ‘I Would’ music video to accompany the anticipated release. These songs that perfectly represents who Emily is in this season of writing and highlights both the detailed, hope-filled storytelling and the soaring vocals that defines her music. Emily debuted her title track at the famous Listening Room, an iconic venue that has housed some of the biggest songwriters in country music and is a regular performer in the Nashville music scene. This music follows three previously released singles, including her ‘Wallflower,’ ‘Skyline,’ and her debut track, “Bare Feet.’

JESSICA TERRELL:
Alabama native Jessica Terrell is one of Nashville’s fiercest up and coming independent artists.
Jessica blends Miranda Lambert’s fiery anthems, Dolly Parton’s strong storytelling, and Stevie Nicks rock and roll into a unique country music cocktail.

When she is not on Broadway, Jessica can be found singing original music at more intimate venues. The sweet songstress writes progressive lyrics with a traditional country sound. Jessica’s single “Slow Down” shows she is more concerned with breaking boundaries than fitting in with lyrics like: “Your picket fence is my guitar case, your settling down is my next town’s name.” Jessica has an upcoming single to be released in early 2024. Her artistry has been taken across the globe with her original music played in 46 countries and featured on 85 Spotify playlists.

Mountain Heart

Mountain Heart is a hybrid bluegrass group, of which there are several who have released albums in the last few months. What sets Mountain Heart apart is their instrumentation, notably no banjo or fiddle but piano, guitars, mandolin and dobro instead from the core group. Electric guitars find their way into the mix as well. Also, all four members are contributing songwriters and harmony vocalists. On Soul Searching the band continues to explore their rather unique sound that marries bluegrass, pop, and roots music. The combination of piano with acoustic string instruments is a rather unusual configuration and it sounds just natural and splendid with these players.

Taylor Hicks at The Franklin Theatre
For Taylor Hicks, winning “American Idol’s” blockbuster fifth season was just the beginning. Hailed as “part Stax, part Motown and part honky-tonk” by The New York Times, Hicks’ intoxicating blend of soul, blues, country, and rock ‘n’ roll quickly rendered him a household name as he progressed to the show’s record-breaking finale in 2006, a historic television event which drew an audience of more than 200 million viewers. Hicks immediately followed his “American Idol” victory with a No. 1 Billboard single and an RIAA®-certified platinum debut, and soon went on to make history as both the first male “American Idol” champion featured on a GRAMMY-winning record (Jimmy Fallon’s Blow Your Pants Off), and the first to land a prestigious Las Vegas residency.

For the spring of 2024, the Stars to the East production will be the youth edition of Once Upon a Mattress. Once Upon A Mattress: Youth Edition is a one-hour adaptation of the beloved musical that launched Carol Burnett’s career. Many moons ago in a far-off place, Queen Aggravain decreed no couples could marry until her son, Prince Dauntless, found a bride. Princesses came from far and wide to win the hand of the prince, but none could pass the impossible tests given to them by the Queen. That is, until the “shy” swamp princess, Winnifred the Woebegone, showed up. Would she be able to pass the Sensitivity Test, marry her prince and help Lady Larkin and Sir Harry to the altar? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the classic tale The Princess and the Pea provides some side-splitting shenanigans. After all, a princess is a delicate thing.
