Nashville Bound Speaks

Nashville Bound Speaks

Welcome to Nashville Bound, an ensemble group of some of the most talented musicians and singers in the home of country music. PS we are also one of the best kept secrets of Nashville.

Why this name?
It represents where we all started from and where we wanted to be as we set out from homes all across the USA and Canada seeking our dream in Nashville.

Do you play live?
Our band - not yet, though we've all been active with other major acts.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?The internet is helping to balance the power in music from record companies and radio station personalities to individual musicians and singers, from greed to creative energy, from corruption and control to entertainment that the public wants.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If the terms were right, fair and honest.

Band History:Several years ago we got together to help an extraordinarily gifted writer and storyteller share his stories. Jim Putnam had a vision that musicians should be part of the creative process, should actively participate in formulating the composition for recording and he gave us that chance. The result you will hear in our records of which 24 are being released.We record, mix and master at three different studios in Nashville and our writers, arrangers, producers, and engineers are creative geniuses.

Your influences?
We have been trained in everything from classical to country, rock to island, with a little family gospel thrown in to keep us straight. Years of road trips and studio sessions helped us develop individually and we all appreciate many kinds of music and artists, musicians and singers.

Favorite spot?
Wherever our fans, family and supporters live is our favorite place.

Equipment used:
Only real instruments are played on recordings including: drums, bass guitar, piano, acoustic guitars, electric guitars, pedal steel, saxaphone, electric keyboards, various organs, mandolin, fiddle, and, well you get the idea. We are very serious musicians.

Anything else...?
Putnam wrote a book called The Joshua Chronicles and in it he says the Raggedy People, those souls whose purpose in life is to live in enlightenment, are the silent multitudes upon whom a new and wonderful civilization will be built. We appeal to those Raggedy People, the silent and forgotten members of society
