Sessions: Akron/Family

After playing Nashville’s Mercy Lounge the night before, the experimental folk trio Akron/Family stopped by the AS offices and cooked up a few tunes before hitting the road to Chicago. We loaned the band a couple of Taylor acoustic guitars and a Fishman Loudbox amp, and Nashville concert promoter Ryan Bruce managed to rustle up a floor tom for the guys (Thanks, Ryan!). It was a great session, and one that definitely spoke to our inner pixie. Be sure to check out their performance of “River,” which transmogrified American Songwriter into an enchanted forest (despite the suspicious leerings of Merle Haggard). "River" "Love And Space" "Gravelly Mountains Of The Moon" "Canopy" Recorded and mixed by Steve Martin. Video shot and edited by Ian Maravalli.

Sessions: Andy Gibson

Meet Andy Gibson, the man who co-wrote the Jason Aldean/Kelly Clarkson #1 smash hit, "Don't You Wanna Stay." Gibson was discovered by John Rich one night, playing a Spanish-language version of one of Big and Rich's songs during his regular gig at a Mexican restaurant in Nashville. His career has since blown up; Gibson's debut album, due in April, feature great new tunes like his current single "Wanna Make You Love Me." Check out Gibson's live versions of "Don't You Wanna Stay" and "Wanna Make You Love Me" by clicking on the links below.
