Fri Apr 14, 8:00 PM - Fri Apr 14, 10:30 PM

MIKE KINNEBREW “Mike is a fantastic songwriter and performer. His lyrics are thoughtful and intelligent, alongside music that evokes the classic songwriters we all know and love.” —Drew Holcomb, of Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors “Mike Kinnebrew has a unique way of pulling people into his songs, through his gently demanding voice and melodies, to speak a little truth to you.” –Matthew Perryman Jones Mike Kinnebrew is a singer, songwriter, and recording artist born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, and currently residing in Macon, Georgia. When Mike performs, he creates a connection with audiences. He’s relatable; his life and his loves are wound through his music. Mike’s music is laced with familiarity and comfort, and his lyrics tell the story of his heart. His passion for music and its ability to engage is made evident by the swell of enthusiastic fans, some of whom are fellow musicians: Mike has performed in many venues such as Smith’s Olde Bar (Atlanta, GA), The Capitol Theatre (Macon, GA), and Special Guest appearances at The Old Edwards Inn (Highlands, NC). Mike has performed with Oteil Burbidge (The Allman Brothers Band), Kristian Bush (Sugarland), Matthew Perryman Jones, Drew and Ellie Holcomb, Gabe Dixon (Tedeschi Trucks Band), and Andrew Ripp. Mike traveled to Nashville in 2010 to record his 1st CD, “Between the Living and the Dying” at the famed Smoakstack studio. Produced by Andy Hunt (Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, Third Day). In 2019, Mike returned to the Smoakstack to record singles, “Where the Big Waves Are” and “Just Getting Started”. Produced by Paul Moak (Matt Kearney, The Civil Wars, Dave Barnes, Gabe Dixon, etc.). JENNIFER DANIELS “Jennifer’s sound wanders from alt-country to haunting folk rock delivering her poetry with an urgency to match it’s message.” Paste Magazine “The South that Jennifer writes of is the William Faulkner and Flannery O’Connor South. Darkly romantic, hot and humid, haunted and gothic. This is music that seems to have grown slowly from some rich, dark soil.” The Performing Songwriter – Top 12 DIY Releases Alongside husband Jeff Neal, who contributes tasteful guitar and mandolin support, Daniels first caught the attention of music fans in live settings—beginning in 1999—with her supple, dynamic voice and physical, absorbing delivery. It began in time-honored, grassroots fashion, with gigs in Chattanooga, Tennessee—just down the mountain from home—then short forays around the southeastern U.S. and then regular hauls up and down the East Coast and, finally, jaunts across the country, with as many as 200 dates each year. STEPHANIE STAPLES Staples has written and recorded seven full albums and an EP. Her first album, Breathe on Me, was first released in 2001 and then re-released in 2003 with two additional songs. Her sophomore project, Face to Face, was released in 2006, followed by Journey Home (2007), Sing over Me (2010), the Advent/Christmas album Emmanuel (2013), and Interlude (2015). She released an EP in 2016. After relocating to to the Nashville, TN area in 2017, she began working with Andy Hunt on her most recent record, Soar. Recorded in 2019 and released in 2020 just before the pandemic hit, Soar’s songs encourage the listener to hold on to their faith even in times of uncertainty and loss—a timely message for the world. Stephanie’s studio albums tell part of her story but it is in her live performances that she truly shines, captivating audiences and fostering a reflective and prayerful atmosphere as she pours the full depth of her life experiences into her music, not shying away from the reality of suffering and dark times but reflecting a light that persists through it all. Stephanie has shared the stage with numerous artists over the years. Her long list of credits includes festivals, retreats, universities, schools (elementary, middle, and high schools), churches, conferences, campus ministries, multiple centers for disadvantaged youth/inner city ministries, military bases, and shelters for the homeless.
