Homegrown Songwriters More Jammin’ at the Nashville Palace

James Breedwell’s Songwriter Open Mic Series at the Nashville Palace always has a terrific show, but none could be better than the recent showcase of Homegrown Songwriters from Our Sweet Home Alabama.

Host, James Breedwell
These performing songwriters can be seen most any Wednesday in Huntsville at the Coffee Tree Songwriter Open Mic, but when put together in a showcase, you’ve got a great mix of music covering good old-fashioned country, country rock, pop, blues, Americana … bound to be something to tickle your fancy!
 MaryJustice, 14 year-old, award-winning songwriter,  performs at the Palace with the Nashville Spotlight hosted by Mike Jennings. MaryJustice recently brought home awards in singing and acting from a week of competition at the iPOP! 2010 Convention in Los Angeles.

"Not That Far" written by MaryJustice. Performed by MaryJustice and Doug Budzak.


"Are We Just Friends" written by Ken Cooper. Performed by MaryJustice, Ken Cooper and Doug Budzak of Uncle Bethel.

Keep an eye on these two, Lisa Carr and Doug Budzak, a multi-talented husband/wife team billed as "Uncle Bethel" ...



"You Ain't From Around Here" written by Uncle Bethel. Performed by Uncle Bethel and Ken Cooper.

Ken Cooper and his lovely wife, Jennifer. Ken's talent is certainly demonstrated in these videos. His songwriting  runs the gamut from teen love songs to rockabilly and country. He can sing a hymn that will bring tears and then break out into a Hank Williams honky-tonk sound.


"You Kicked Me In The Heart" written by Ken Cooper. Performed by Ken, and Uncle Bethel.

There's more to follow...so stay tuned ...
