NashLive! Sonic Kaleidoscope Experience Set for July 20

NashLive! is back for the summer, ready to turn up the heat with a multi-faceted live music experience you’ll be talking about for the rest of 2024 — and beyond.

On Saturday, July 20, come to Helping Our Music Evolve (615 Main St., Suite G1, Nashville) to experience the NashLive! Sonic Kaleidoscope. On this night, rising stars in Music City’s pop, R&B, and hip hop communities will come together to present vivid soundscapes and captivating performances.

Performers include…

Shawney Rainne: Originally from the country music genre, she has evolved her sound into soulful pop infused with depth and emotion. Her debut track “Liar” aired on MTV’s Siesta Key in 2020, showcasing her talents to a broader audience.ย 

She founded my Rainne Entertainment, a platform where she channels her passions into dynamic storytelling through music and artistic flair. 

Her love for fashion shines through her brand, Alter Ego. She also expresses her creativity through movement, dance, and curating unique experiences, including one-of-a-kind events, directing music videos, and developing innovative performance productions. 

Central to Shawney’s work is empowering self-acceptance and expression. Through vulnerable songwriting, she explores themes of healing, love, spirituality, and unlocking one’s potential. Shawney also embraces alter egos that highlight different aspects of her identity. Her goal is to inspire others to trust themselves, embrace failure, and discover their most authentic selves through radical self-acceptance.


Fiona Maura is a dream pop songstress originally from the space coast of Florida, currently residing, writing, and performing in Nashville, TN. Her ethereal sound fuses soulful folk melodies, dreamy textures, and spiritual lyricism. As seen on American Idol, Fiona is a certified sound healer and weaves her sound bowls and healing instruments through her live shows and production. She was runner up for Best Singer-Songwriter in Nashville Sceneโ€™s Best of Nashville 2022, and performed at First Horizon Park as part of Nashville Sceneโ€™s Best of Nashville Festival in 2023. 


Hew G: Hew’s musical journey began in Detroit, MI, where his parents’ influence introduced him to funk, soul, and gospel. At age 9 in Texas, he found his passion for music through dance. As a member of various dance groups, he showcased his skills on stages and in competitions. Relocating to Nashville shifted his focus to music production, blending nostalgic melodies with hip hop. Beyond live performances, his music has been featured in major TV shows and commercials, including Empire and a Pizza Hut ad, further cementing his impact on both the music and entertainment industries.


Tickets for the Sonic Kaleidoscope go on sale this Friday, June 14 at 10 a.m. CT. Stay tuned on Instagram @nashliveshows for updates!

LISTEN: Hannah Geiser Enters the Chat with ‘Exit Sign’

At the top of 2024, we were introduced to Hannah Geiser, who we caught performing at Live Oak Nashville during the first Native Manor Heavy Hitters lineup of the year.

Fast forward a few months later, and the world has now been introduced to Hannah by way of her blistering debut single, “Exit Sign.”

“Iย do my best thinking and songwriting while driving, and have nothing else to worry about except whatโ€™s in front of me,” Geiser said. “I was on a solo roadtrip and kept seeing all these exit signs and thought to myself, โ€œItโ€™s the sign to go. Itโ€™s the sign to leave, and it sometimes comes when you least expected it.โ€ I knew there was a story to be told, so I wrote it down in my โ€œhookbook.โ€ A couple weeks later, I had a write with my good friend Allie Roar and pitched the idea to her. We wrote it in one sitting, and the song grew into what is now my debut single!”

“Exit Sign” is a summer scorcher. Instrumentally, the guitar-heavy tune draws inspiration from modern-day greats like Chris Stapleton and Marcus King. Meanwhile, Geiser’s vocal is timeless in its essence, providing a stirring fusion of country, rock, and soul that gives this newcomer significant standout appeal.

LISTEN: Linn Holmes Delivers Vintage Feels on ‘Baby Blue’

Linn Holmes is no stranger to the spotlight. Now based in Los Angeles, the Swedish-born singer has shared the stage as a backing vocalist with luminaries such as Orianthi, Robbie Kruger (The Doors), Phil X (Bon Jovi), Cherrie Curie (The Runaways), and previous Australian X-Factor contestant, Julian De Vizio.

Now, Holmes is stepping out on her own. On May 31, she just released her second single.

Titled “Baby Blue,” the new tune is a spirited callback to the upbeat, piano-driven pop of the 70s. Holmes keeps the dynamic flair and storytelling spirit of the era alive, incorporating a potent groove and scorching guitars in support of an ultra-catchy melody.

“The song is a lighthearted pop song about love in a vintage daydream,” Holmes said.

“Baby Blue” was produced by Rev. Tom Chandler, and features the talents of Daniel Jakubovic on drums, guitar, piano and bass. Jenny Dang lends electronic production elements to the track, providing a modern sensibility to this timeless pop soundscape.

Full Circle Moments on the Creative Journey (ft. Tye Vallone)

The last time Tye Vallone (of The Groove Merchants and T & Emsee) joined The Quinn Spinn, we were based in Bethlehem, PA. Underground Music Collective was still Lehigh Valley Underground. Moravian University — where we recorded in an open classroom — was still Moravian College.

A lot has changed, but we’re coming full circle on Friday, June 21 at SteelStacks in Bethlehem for Sounds of the Underground. So, we decided to chat about it!

This episode of The Quinn Spinn was recorded and produced at Helping Our Music Evolve (H.O.M.E.), Nashville, TN.

LISTEN: Spence Brown Tells Us Life Isn’t Always ‘Easy’ — and That’s OK!

After a long, contemplative winter and spring, Spence Brown has reached the summer with a new sense of perspective and — dare we say? — optimism.

That’s what shines through on “Easy,” Brown’s latest single, released May 31. The final release before his album, 4am in Nashville, arrives this summer, “Easy” is a breath of fresh air, and the first glimpse of sunlight over the horizon after a cold winter’s night.

“One of the most fascinating emotions to me is the feeling of something being bittersweet, and at the end of the day, that’s really what life is like,” Brown said. “We’re here living, trying to figure out who we are and what to do with this one life we get. In the process, we end up feeling the full spectrum of emotions that we can as human beings, and realize that we — and everyone we know and love — will someday leave this plane of existence. That is the most bittersweet feeling that there is, so don’t take it for granted. Understand that, for the good to exist, the bad must also exist, and sometimes things just take a little bit of time and hard work.”

Like the rest of Brown’s releases, “Easy” was self-produced, with every detail curated to provide a thoughtful, cathartic experience for artist and listener alike.

“I started this song with a sample from Splice, but as I often do, I wanted to make the song my own and create something that still felt original,” Brown said. “So, I used the sample in the verses, and then mirrored the melody into a different instrument in Logic and added the vocal stacks that fill out the background. I tweaked the mix for months, just trying to make it perfect, because the song just meant so much to me.”

One Night. Multiple Musical Experiences. (ft. Alex Radus)

Alex’s ability to meld genres and captivate audiences is must-see, and you’ll have a chance to experience it as part of our Sounds of the Underground mini-festival, Friday, June 21 at SteelStacks in Bethlehem, PA.

Today, we team up with our partners at Your Next Favorite Band to chat with Alex, and get a preview of what’s in store for the big night in Christmas City!
