When news hit that the Nashville City Winery was hosting a Bonaparte's Retreat benefit featuring EmmyLou Harris and John Prine it was an instant sell out. Two of Music City's biggest stars together up close and personal...how much better can you get? Well, you could have Sheryl Crow come out and sit in for most of the show, that's how much better you can get.

One of the advantages of living in Nashville (Music City USA) is the unlimited amount of live music to experience. Among the best is the Jack Pearson Trio. With Charles Treadway on the Hammond organ and Joshua Hunt on drums they can produce some amazing music of all genres. Almost every month they play at 3^rd and Lindsley where often other world class musicians come sit in. This last month saw Pat Bergeson join in and wow the crowd with his harmonica prowess.

The Stolen Faces are not just another Grateful Dead Cover band. As befitting their home in Nashville, TN (Music City USA) their musical expertise makes them the band to which all others strive to be. The core members are Jack Silverman on guitar and Christian Grizzard on bass.  And their sometimes musical partner, Annie Sellick, a vocalist of great standing in her own right, adds a component which takes one back to the best Dead shows of the 70's.
