Past Live Shows
WestWend is an Americana/country duo comprised of Jonathan Maness (guitar, vocals) and Wendy Crowe (vocals). Established in 2011 in Knoxville, Tennessee, they perform and record new traditional country music. With Jonathan’s roots in bluegrass and Wendy’s roots stemming from the Delta blues, classic country, and Motown, they have come together to create a sound all their own.
WestWend’s latest CD, “Linger For A While”, takes bluegrass standards and makes them new again, while their originals capture their audience with a traditional flavor. Wendy’s voice has been best compared to Alison Krauss, while Jonathan’s rich baritone and agile flatpicking are well known to audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.
WestWend has performed at some of the biggest festivals in the United States and Europe including: the Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion, the National Cornbread Festival, the St. Augustine Seafood festival, the Pensacola Great Gulf Festival and more. They also performed a 14 day tour in 5 european countries, including the Spring Bluegrass Festival in Switzerland. They have also opened for Rhonda Vincent, Guy Clark, and Tyler Hilton.

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. This month Jamie Adamson host Emcee of Ground N The Round is joined by guests Dreyden Gordon and Colton Sturtz.
Dreyden Gordon is 18 years old, and a native to eastern kentucky. Dreyden has been appearing onstage since the ripe old age of two when he began clogging and his mentor and hero Melvin Goins would invite him onstage. Dreyden continued clogging but around the age of 7 he began to take an interest in singing. Since that time Dreyden has taught himself to also play guitar. He has performed onstage with many of his heroes in the business including, Dr. Ralph Stanley, Ralph Stanley II, Larry Sparks, Melvin Goins, Marty Raybon (of Shenandoah), Larry Cordle, James King, Joe Mullins, Dave Evans and several others. Dreyden has performed on national and internationally syndicated television and radio shows. He has even been commissioned a colonel by the state of Kentucky, the states highest civilian honor. Dreyden is also proud to announce that he has released 11 songs total and is currently signed to "Nashville Entertainment Weekly Records." Dreyden is currently keeping a full touring schedule but is always looking to expand and add your venue to his schedule. |
Colton Sturtz is a Singer, Songwriter, and musician hailing originally from Ohio. He has recently performed in various venues in Nashville and will be joining the stage with Dreyden and Jamie as part of the Ground N The Round in Crossville, TN. His recent single "Things I Shouldn't Do" is available for purchase and listen on all major platforms. |
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. |
