The Nashville Connection and barleycove

The music business is a matrix.  Seeking where to go next, barleycove went to the Nashville Connection Convention "Heroes Salute" this week in Greenville, SC.  It was also a week of celebrating veterans with a mobile Vietnam Wall in memory of our heroes and entertainment provided around that theme.  Workshops were held, including social media advice from Anthony Francis and Amber Osborne of Head of Lettuce Media, entertainment law consultation with David Wyatt, and recording insight with Noel Golden and Marcus Suarez from Whitestone Studios.  Dave Brooks, Roger Ryan, and Sam Tate (pictured below) made their way from Nashville to share their expertise, knowledge, and judge the talent competitions.  Thankful for the opportunity and insight one can always learn from any new experience!

Music is a Journey

We have dreams of what we desire to be as children, and too often, we dismiss those dreams.  Barleycove is the actualization of a childhood dream of being a singer, songwriter, artist, and performer.  Music can also heal us and help us realize our interconnectedness as beings.  Therefore, hopefully our music can help others make sense of circumstances and find meaning in them through this magnificent and often mind-boggling adventure that is life.  Categorize us as whatever genre you wish, but we are heavily influenced by musical acts such as The Swell Season, Damien Rice, Iron and Wine, Ani DiFranco, Patty Griffin, and the list continues.  Thank you for visiting our site, and let's enjoy this journey together!
