Live Music with Louise Mosrie 7:00 – 10:00 pm

Louise Mosrie grew up in McEwen, TN on a cattle farm – riding horses and writing poetry. She began writing songs after college while working in TV/radio in Knoxville. She moved back to the Nashville area in 2004 and began co-writing with country, bluegrass and folk artists and writers. Louise had a major creative breakthrough in 2007 when she had a fortuitous co-writing session with famed Americana producer and writer, Ray Kennedy (Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams). They wrote the song, “Doubling Back”, for a documentary film by IU professor, Ron Osgood, called “My Vietnam, Your Iraq” which was broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.

Louise has won top awards in songwriting at Kerrville Folk Festival, Wildflower! Festival, Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. Her first album “Home” debuted at #1 on the Folk DJ chart in January 2010 and #11 for the year. She’s played at The Bluebird Café in Nashville, Club Passim in Boston and The Birchmere in Washington DC.

On her latest album, “Lay It Down”, she collaborated with folk-rock songwriter/producer, Cliff Eberhardt, who envisioned minimalist arrangements and restrained production.

“Louise Mosrie may well be the brightest young folk-oriented artist to emerge from Nashville in many a year.” – Rich Warren, WFMT-FM, The Midnight Special, Chicago

About Heidi

Heidi Holton is turning heads with her mastery of the music of the deep south.  Original and fresh, traditional with a contemporary flair, her songwriting shines like the sweat glistening on the brow of a Piedmont preacher behind the pulpit on a sultry Sunday afternoon.  Following in the footsteps of guitar-slingers like Memphis Minnie and Reverend Gary Davis, Heidi Holton is making a name for herself in the blues community.

     When an opportunity to study with one of her favorite guitarists arose, Holton strapped an acoustic guitar to the back of her motorcycle and headed north to Ohio.  At the Fur Peace Ranch, she found a mentor and kindred spirit in the legendary Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna) and quickly became an accomplished finger-picker and slide guitar player.

     It wasn’t long before people began to take notice, including blues woman and national treasure Rory Block, who has produced Holton’s sophomore release “Why Mama Cries.”  Popular demand keeps Heidi busy, playing about 150 shows a year to a wide variety of audiences.  She has opened for notorious bluesman Roy Bookbinder and slide guitar hero Tommy Talton, and has become a regular performer at the Arts and Minds Festival at the Fur Peace Ranch.
