Grinder House Productions presents "Ground N The Round" with host Jamie Adamson. Every month, Jamie will make the expedition up the Plateau and will introduce us to some of the best writers in all of Tennessee. He has shared stages with some and written songs with many. The stories are enthralling, tapestries woven into song. So intimate, it's like being in your own living room.
Special Guests this month include Ryan Larkins and Ethan Phillips.
Ryan Larkins was born and raised in Nashville where he “caught the bug”—picking up the guitar and starting to write his own songs at age twelve. Ryan frequently performed at church, and there he learned to master the stage. In 2009, Ryan competed in the television singing competition show on CMT, Can You Duet, where he and his singing partner finished in third place. Memorably, the duo stood out when they surprised judges by singing the classic “Tennessee Waltz,” while other groups opted for contemporary selections. |
Ethan Phillips is an up-and-coming singer/songwriter from Clayton, Georgia. He began playing guitar around the age of thirteen and began writing songs right along the same time. Growing up in the Northeast Georgia Mountains, he was heavily influenced by gospel, bluegrass, and country music. As he got older, writing became more serious. Phillips is known as a “humble giant” who pens lyrics with insight far beyond his years. In 2018, Phillips was a part of the Grand Ole Opry’s WSM Radio Road Show. Also, in January of 2018, he released his debut gospel record entitled, “Saved By Grace.” |
Jamie Adamson began playing guitar at the age of 13 and like his Grandfather soon was making music on stage. Jamie began playing a snare and hi hat in church along side Ray Thompson from Mobile Alabama and developed that itch that all musicians get! By the time he turned 19 Jamie was playing locally in Mobile at local clubs like Austin's Country Palace, The Wild Wild West, other venues around the south. It wasn't long Jamie was packing his bags and heading north to Nashville where he spent the next 19 years developing his style, his voice, and his writing skills. Jamie shared a stage with greats like Steve Cropper, Jerry Waddell, Blind Mississippi Morris, Mark Collie, Terry Lee Burns, and Steve Saunders. All these talented individuals shared their love for music with Jamie and helped him build a solid foundation that will carry him through the rest of his career. So, if you love music, real honest music, with heartfelt lyrics, just take a listen and you will hear the difference. |
