November 2023 - Songs for Jana
Janelle Arthur, Brett Sheroky, Lauren Mascitti, and Ben Johnson. came together to support the Hall Family at Songs for Jana! WHO is Jana? She is a beautiful 42-year-old mother of two who is faced with a battle to save her own life and get as much time with her family as she can. There has never been a person or a family more worthy of a miracle than Jana and her family. Jana and her husband, Dan, have been dependable to their loved ones and pillars of strength during any crisis. Unfortunately, Jana is now the one in crisis. In the summer of 2023, Jana was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. She was given limited options for treatment and began to seek care at the Mayo Clinic. As medical and travel expenses begin to mount up, we want to give back to Jana and Dan as they have given to so many others over the years. Jana is the most determined and strong fighter that we know. This evening was put together with the hope of giving financial support in addition to our prayers and love. Our hope is that she can defy the odds with a true miracle. |

June 2019 - Spotlight Artist
Nashville native Ryan Larkins is slowly but surely making a name for himself in Nashville’s music circles. He was a finalist on the CMT series “Can You Duet” several years ago which delivered some good attention to Ryan’s unique, strong baritone voice. Ryan won first place in a recent talent “fresh face of country music” contest sponsored by AM 650 WSM – home of the historic Grand Ole Opry. He has also appeared in showcases all over town sponsored by the famed radio program – the longest running live radio show in history. After an appearance opening a show at Buddy’s Place, Ryan quickly became one of the crowd favorites with his personal and honest songwriting and unique delivery of his original as well as his favorite country music classics. We’re so excited to see what the future holds for Ryan as more and more music lovers across the city of Nashville are discovering this unique talent. Ryan’s been doing a lot of songwriting collaboration with hit songwriters all over town and is set to continue to carve out a name for himself in country music’s history. Check out a brand new single “Any Other Woman” - penned by Ryan and another Buddy’s Place alumni – hit writer Johnny Bulford (with background vocals from another alumni Janelle Arthur). Ryan is planning to release a lot of new music in 2019 and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for him – we predict it’s going to be a bright one as his star rises…. |
