wrecking ball.

i went to a great show at the ryman last night. a hymn sing. it's complicated to explain, but very neat.

for all my non-nashville readers (all 3 of you) i wanted to make a list of wonderful, wonderful musicians you've never heard of, but should listen to. not all of these were there last night, but seeing the show last night just reminded me of how i have access to so much great music. and most people have never heard it. and i forget that.

i'm basically just looking for their myspace pages, since those always have music. but if you like what you hear, and i'm sure some of it isn't current, then google them or search for them on itunes. and tell me if you do.

to begin,

chelsey scott. she has my dream voice. and my dream hair. she goes to my church and i've met her a few times, but i mostly avoid her so i don't find any more reasons to be jealous of her very existence.

listen to chelsey scott!!

brooke waggoner. she's more well known, actually. there's a better chance you've heard her. but if not...

do it now

and now, just a list.

i love nashville. i really do.
