LOVE LOCAL NASHVILLE

About Us //

Picture
 since 2013, we have been coming to you in the hopes of showcasing the things that we believe makes nashville our chosen home. what originally started as a 'photo-blog' grew to a legitimate press outfit fairly quickly, as we gained momentum on twitter and Instagram and ended up on the email lists and contact sheets of pr companies far and wide. in the early days, we were a music blog and the growth and changes have been unexpected, but pretty cool. 

primarily focusing on music, art and culture, we strive to share with you the things about nashville you might not know or may not have heard of... yet. operating in the spirit of an old-school 'zine, but with all the endless possibilities of modern technology at our disposal, we want to give you a glimpse into the spirit of the town from our perspectives. 

Love Local Nashville is brought to you by actual, honest-to-goodness locals who love this place, even when loving it means figuring out ways to change it for the better. to us, black lives have always mattered, we stand with our LGBTQIA+ family and are proud participants in the fight for a true equality for everyone regardless of how they look, how they love, or how or if they pray.  the diversity of nashville is one of the most wonderful aspects of it and part of the reason our city is so unique and such a sought after destination for so many transplants and tourists. we support local business, art, and livelihoods above all else. always.

Bios are always uncomfortable to write, for fear of sounding too self-important, which is definitely not an attitude I'm comfortable adopting. i don't think i've done nearly enough, yet, to be of benefit to the world, although I guess that's relative. I've been some places, I've met some people, I've done some things and still I realize there's a lot left to do even though i'm figuring out no one actually knows with any certainty what any of us should be doing in the first place.  so, we just go for it. we're just leaves on the stream of creation, you know?

Clearly, I'm not great at this, but here's a little about me anyway. I grew up traveling as a child of military parents, but have lived here in the Nashville area for long enough that I think I can safely be considered a local. even when i lived in other places, this area has alway felt like homebase. I went to high school just north in Gallatin and went to college just south in Murfreesboro. I used to sneak into shows at the muse and go to indie net and play in that huge 4 square game we used to do down at centennial park back in the early 2000's. I've been around for a while. I've wrote for a few publications, worked directly on the creative teams of a few bands and artists, done social media strategy for some of your favorite local artists. there's also the chance that you saw me in that one thing.


you can also follow me on twitter, where i test out jokes and gripe about things or on instagram, where i hardly ever post.

  • I like to think I'm just a regular guy, in a regular house, with a regular life. 2.5 cats and all that.
  • I'm a fan of curiosity. I'm curious about everything and I'm always trying to learn something new.
  • I studied music in college, and then I did it again. It was okay. I didn't really get anything out of it.
  • No, that's not true. I got to play a ton of video games. And the burritos! My goodness. We ate like stupid rich kings.
  • I play a few instruments, I love writing music, I used to be in a band. I don't really talk about any of that unless you ask, because I know how awful it is when people go on and on about their music.
  • That's about it. I'm on Twitter if you have any questions.
