Rockin’ the Region with ‘Nashville Nights’
Rivershed in Killington has been making a name for itself in only a few short years in town. Music is one of the highlights, and this Nashville collaboration has been a huge hit. This Friday July 19 you have a chance to see the fourth of its kind, titled “Nashville Nights”, at 7 p.m. I’ve been fortunate to see all the past ones, and let me tell you it’s an event not to be missed. This one features Kara Tondorf (owner of Rivershed, long-time touring artist who has a song featured on “Dawson’s Creek”), Jade Helliwell (British Country Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year three of the last six years and has over 1 million streams on Spotify), Matt Rogers (shared stages with Chris Stapleton, Walker Hayes and Jake Owen) and Blue Foley (over 100 independent and major label cuts, two Grammy nods and collaborations with Ashley McBryde and Morgan Wallen). Matt and Blue are business partners, and dear friends. I had the pleasure of speaking with Blue, who is the co-creator of “Nashville Nights.” I also got to see him perform last November at Rivershed and he was incredible. I’m not a country music guy, but I’m a big fan of the singer-songwriters who have graced the stage in these events. Blue said, “These songwriter rounds tend to transcend those genre boundaries. It’s just great songs and great music. It doesn’t matter what the genre is.” The next night, July 20, you can see this show at Kara’s other Rivershed in Scituate, Massachusetts. Blue loves his “Rivershed Nights ” and said that Kara has now become a very dear friend and the whole crew is just wonderful. For more information, visit rivershed.com. “Nashville Nights” is like “VH1 Storytellers.” Blue said, “It’s all about the stories behind the songs, and the songs themselves. The whole idea is to create an intimate experience the audience can connect to. You want to wow them.” Honestly that’s the feeling I’ve had leaving these shows. Blue added, “It’s nice to have some great songs performed you can kick back, close your eyes and listen to, but an equally important part of our show is the stories we use to setup those songs because it connects the writer, the human being, to the audience. Normally an artist comes out and performs and everybody is wowed, but there isn’t really a connection to the person. There’s a connection to the artist because they open their heart and let down their walls during that performance but with the songwriter night and the way we designed “Nashville Nights” it’s a completely walls down, vulnerable show as to here is my human being person and my take on the human condition concerning this topic that the song covers.”
