#143 Amy Jo: Singer/ Songwriter from Nashville who has been around music since she was 3, she brings it each and every time she hits the stage.

Today my guests is Amy Jo (Gaither), ever since she was 3 she has been around music, she wrote her first song at 10 years old & nothing has held her back. She is a member of the ISSA (international singers songwriters' association) as well as the CMA & ACM . She has been nominated for awards and has been able to bring some hardware home. She is the mom of 7 kids, always encouraging and uplifting. I had a blast talking with her and sharing her story. We share a lot of laughs, and just hearing her story and her passion behind what she does and why is very encouraging. Also I’m featuring some of her songs, "Swamp Water" and her brand new song that just came out "Goodbye Brenda" with her close friend Sarah Ashley. Check out her website at www.anyjosmusic.com and check out all her merchandise you can get, maybe even see her in concert in the future.

I am also playing songs by Krya Gordon- her song called, "Burn It Down," as well as Cory M. Coons, his new song, "White Pickett Fence," and Carrie Cunningham, "Just Like"
