Happy New Year! Crazy to say 2025 isn't it? I'm still waiting on flying cars and hover boards but I've been finding some awesome venues to go hang out at! Check out the Bowery Vault in East Nashville. 

There's an open mic every Thursday night with sign-ups and networking at 4pm. Throw your name in the bucket and names will be drawn when music starts at 5pm! I went this past Thursday and wow! What a cool vibe this place has. So much talent as well! I'll be going to this venue at least once a month. 

Here's some photos of the inside and a few of the artist/writers that showed up. I wish I had thought to capture everybody that played but stay tuned…I'll post about this place again. 

My oldest daughter, Katrina, videoed a little and got some photos of me playing as well! Hope you like it. Leave some comments below if you've been there or know of some places you think I should go see next! 

Here's a link to their site https://www.theboweryvault.com I'll be recording “I ain't your dog” (solo write) and my newest cowrite “No Way Out” soon! I cowrote “No Way Out” with Olin Wallace https://www.olinwallacemusic.com and Quentin Hall http://www.youtube.com/@QuentinHallOfficial I'll also be recording another rock song I cowrote “Bed of Roses” on my EP. I cowrote that song with my good friend Wade Fitzgerald. He was in the band Secret Social Club which you can find on the social media platforms as @secretsocialclub.  Here's a link to the song on my YouTube Channel which I admit…needs some rebranding. https://youtu.be/9pTr5rHU5lk?si=udaKl88nH_nWOjUS to hear the whole song you'll need to come out and hear me play or search my socials until I get it recorded! My socials are all with @jrgregorymusic (instagram, tiktok, etc) I'm on a 40 day fast from social media so if you reach out and follow me I'll be back checking them Feb. 22nd. I'll keep you posted on this site with my blogs and calendar on where I'll be next so please! Come out and say hi!
