Georgia Shares The Spotlight with Nashville Unleashed During Concert Return to Copperhead

Feb. 9, 2012 - PRLog -- Saturday, May 19th 2012, Jack & Diane's popular concert series, Nashville Unleashed, returns to The Lodge At Copperhead, located at 171 Copperhead Pkwy  Blairsville, Georgia. Dinner service will begin at 6pm. Showtime is 7:30-9:00pm. Tickets are available exclusively at The Lodge by calling (706)-835-7433 or by visiting www.thelodgeatcopperhead.com.

The Lodge At Copperhead has presented Nashville Unleashed quarterly for over a year now. The show typically sells out and garners rave reviews. The lodge's grande hall is converted into a "living room", with a circular stage set strategically positioned in the center of the room, and surrounded by candlelit tables.

Listeners are treated to an intimate, acoustic-based concert which features Nashville's premiere performing songwriters. The musicianship, songwriting and quality of entertainment is incredible and highly unique.

Jack is a guitar prodigy, accepting his first road gig with Franki Valli and the Four Seasons at the age of 13. He went on to tour with George Thorogood, Brian Setzer and Elvin Bishop among others. He was hired to play guitar for Diane's road band just prior to her record deal offer.

Jack & Diane toured, recorded and performed together eventually marrying and writing songs together. The moved from Atlanta to Nashville 10 years ago and created Nashville Unleashed in 2008.

Jack & Diane have welcomed well-known country Artists such as Richie McDonald (lead singer of Lonestar) and Linda Davis (famous for her duet "Does He Love You" with Reba Mcentire) among others to the show. But the main focus is on stellar Nashville Performing Songwriters that are equally as impressive yet not necessarily household names.

Jack & Diane will perform with fellow Nashville songwriters Colleen McFarland and Jeff Miller on the May show. They will share personal stories behind their songs and invite listeners into the conversation. The camaraderie between the Artists and the audience is fantastic!

Colleen is a tremendously talented Artist with obvious influences like Bonnie Raitt and Emmylou Harris. Her music has been heard in the TV series' Northern Exposure and Swing Town, as well as radio stations across the country including Sirius XM.

Jeff Miller is a graduate of Berklee College of Music, a great songwriter, and a master of the guitar loop. It's fascinating to watch him in action, as very few Artists can pull this off tastefully and on-the-fly.

Another special dynamic to the May show will be guest Artist, Conni Laine. A Georgia native, she won a prestigious songwriting competition that was held on St. Simons Island last fall, where the finals were judged by Jack & Diane and 3 other Artists from the Nashville Unleashed Roster.

"Conni stood out to us all immediately . There were a lot of good songwriters we saw that day, but it's obvious that music and songwriting are simply a natural part of who Conni is. She can't help but write and sing...those are the types of Artists we gravitate towards. She blew us away." says Diane

For a much more expanded view of a Nashville Unleashed concert, folks can pick up a current Spring copy of Atlanta's "Little Black Dress" magazine for a two-page feature on the show. People can also learn more about the show by visiting www.nashvilleunleashed.com.

Concert attendees will be inspired, laugh like a kid again, and maybe even spark or rekindle a flame with a special someone. Memories will be made and listeners will take away something meaningful from spending an evening with these Artists.

The unique, unrehearsed and surprising dynamics of a Nashville Unleashed concert consistently exceeds expectations, leaving audiences in awe. Nashville Unleashed is so much more than a show...it’s an EXPERIENCE!
