I have been a big fan of the band DARDEN for a long time. You’ll find them to be the real deal. Authentic, honest and in it for the music as it connects to other people.

Darden is a 5-piece family band, consisting of 3 sisters. Clara on guitar and vocals, Havi on mandolin and vocals, Tabbi on bass and vocals. Two brothers - Josiah on drums and Noah on keys.
Enjoy the live-in studio session of their song "The Moon" and the delightful and engaging song "Happy and Sad", played in it's entirety.

Vision Boards for Artists | Artist: Nick Nery | Song: "Loving You"

Send us a text

Welcome to my 2nd season of The Crazybrave Songwriter Podcast where I’m going to have a chance to stretch out and talk about meaningful concerns for all musical artists.
I LOVE the creative energy of my guest NICK NERY. He is fun, dedicated to his music and delivers an eclectic style of music that is always evolving. Nick’s music is a mixture of old school R&B, slick Rap phrasing and a blend of sexy bumps that entice the audience to pull in and listen. His voice is smooth, vibrant and present over every track.
I am highlighting Nick’s song “Loving You” (Listen on Spotify). It's a silky R&B flavored tune that I can vibe too by putting on repeat while I work or dance around the kitchen. Perfection!
In this episode, I'll be talking with NICK NERY about the beauty of using Vision Boards to imagine where your dreams might take you. I'll tell my own story about how I was able to get a book deal by using my vision board to help make it happen. Stay tuned to the end of the show to hear tips on how to use a vision board as a creative person.

The focus for this season is "wellness for creatives " If you are a musician, singer, songwriter, painter or creative person, then I’ll be loading up this season with information on how to deal with our runaway brains, how to work with our ever changing moods and offer some coping strategies to deal with it all. We’ll get a chance to hear from musical artists who speak about these things as they create new music.

If some of you DON’T already know, I earned my Master’s degree in psychology, was a vocal and songwriting coach for over 20 years and have written a book about songwriting called "The Crazybrave Songwriter".

So, Let’s move together this season and see what we can learn about ourselves.
