Next to take the stage was Lauren Jenkins performing her new hit single “No Saint” off her just-released freshman album. She attended MTSU and her song, “You Don’t Know Jack” was recorded by country music superstar and American Idol Judge Luke Bryan. Then the crowd grew silent as Erin Enderlin graced the stage with her hit song “A World Without Willie.” Erin, a lifelong Willie Nelson fan, grew up in Conway, Arkansas and came to Nashville to pursue music. Words such as gazpacho, scooter, and elephant were shouted from the crowd for a brief moment of fun and laughter. Once the tears were wiped away, the night took an interactive turn with Storme and Shelly asking the audience for random words to give Ashley inspiration to write a song using her banjo, which later proved successful. She opened the night with a song about her dad called “Remembering,” which brought the audience to tears. A pioneer for causes such as Alzheimer’s Disease, a battle that he lost late in life, Glen sang the hit that we all came to know so well – “Rhinestone Cowboy.” Ashley grew up with a musical influence and was singing at a young age. A staple in the Nashville music industry, Fairchild is known for country hits “You Don’t Lie Here Anymore” and “Mississippi Turnpike.” The evening’s lineup consisted of the beautiful Ashley Campbell, daughter of the late, great country music legend Glen Campbell. Storme has hosted the show since the beginning, but this season is joined by the ever so energetic songbird Shelly Fairchild. The show is hosted by Sirius XM Morning Show Host Storme Warren, also known as the Dick Clark of Nashville.
The audience is entertained by rising artists, comedians, and country music legends alike, while gathered together underneath the glistening lights of the historic memorial chandelier.
The War Memorial Auditorium, a 92-year-old venue where the likes of Carrie Underwood and the late Aretha Franklin have graced the stage, is home to Nashville House Concerts, one of Nashville’s newest music and variety acts which just wrapped up its second season.
