Earlier this May I spent a few days in Nashville hanging out with friend and rising star, Jesse Terry (www.jesseterrymusic.com). His music and friendship are such an inspiration - give him a listen, I think you'll agree that this guy has the goods. Anyway, he showed me around "the town" and even got me up close and personal with Vince Gill and The Time Jumpers. Wow, what a show! I highly recommend it if you're ever in Nashville on a Monday night. When we weren't playing, we were busy taking photos as reference for this painting. Met a lot of nice people along the way who were all enthusiastic in helping us find the perfect shot. I placed Jesse in the exact center of the painting as a "tip of the hat" to artist (and one of Jesse's mentors) Trey Friedman (www.treyfriedman.com) who paints trees and is known for putting his subjects smack in the middle of his paintings. I'll be producing a limited edition of 150 numbered and signed lithographs of this painting which you can get by pledging to Jesse's Pledge Music Campaign to help fund his upcoming album (go to www.pledgemusic.com/projects/jesseterrymusic).
