Steve Moakler with Ben Danaher and Corey Kilgannon

Steve Moakler

There was a moment when Steve walked out on stage in Chicago at his sold out, first ever headlining club tour that took his breath away. It had been a long road up to this point, one with empty rooms and unmet expectations, but if you asked him, he wouldn’t change a thing. A handful of odd jobs, hundreds of shows and a thousand songs later, the Pittsburgh native is three records in with no signs of slowing down. Moakler’s highly embraced album, Wide Open, follows the success of his previous records, Watching Time Run and All the Faint Lights. Watching Time Run debuted at No. 1 on the Singer/Songwriter chart and Top 50 on the Overall iTunes® chart. The outpouring from Wide Open and the support of his fans all across the country are a few of the many reasons why Steve continues to be one of the leading independent musicians in his genre. His music has been recorded by esteemed artists such as Dierks Bentley, Jake Owen, Kellie Picker, Ben Rector and Matt Wertz, and Moakler has had music featured on a variety of national commercials and networks including MTV, FOX and ABC, among others. It’s hard to believe it has been nearly a decade since his drive into Nashville, but if his career is any indication, Moakler’s on the ride of his life.

Ben Danaher

In 2011, Ben Danaher stood at a personal crossroads. Having firmly established himself in the Texas Music scene with an independent release and incessant touring, Danaher endured a handful of personal tragedies that forever changed him. Wanting to hone his songwriting craft, Danaher packed his bags and departed Austin for Nashville, TN. In the two years since his move, he has firmly entrenched himself as a great talent among new Nashville writers. A tireless worker, Danaher recorded a new EP, “Starting Over”, slated for release in 2013. True to its’ title, the collection of songs is themed around the journey that Ben Danaher is just beginning as an emerging artist.

Corey kilgannon

Corey Kilgannon is a traveling singer-songwriter born in the outskirts of New York City, raised on the coast of Florida, currently residing in Nashville. His tracks are textured with lush guitars, haunting melodies and swelling drums, allowing it to occupy the same musical expanse of contemporary indie-folk artists, all while still holding on to its singer-songwriter core. For Kilgannon, songwriting is so much more than just putting words to paper. It is a therapeutic process with lyrics and sounds that call to mind the inevitable loss of love that is so prevalent in human nature.
