Be very excited for our Nashville North show Oct.

Be very excited for our Nashville North show Oct. 15th…today meet one of the Nashville North Hit Songwriter’s we’re spotlighting today…Chris Wallin! Chris will be singing his many hits on our stage in several weeks!!! Tickets available thru the link in our bio.

With his unique gift for finding the extraordinary in ordinary life, Chris Wallin has established himself as one of Nashville’s most sought-after songwriters.
For years, Wallin has topped the charts with classics-in-the-making for the industry’s biggest stars: “Love Me If You Can” by Toby Keith, “Don’t Blink” by Kenny Chesney, ”People Loving People” by Garth Brooks, “I’m Tryin’” for Trace Adkins, “Something To Be Proud Of” and “Speed” by Montgomery Gentry and many more.
Raised in the small town in East Tennessee Wallin was influenced by the likes of Jim Croce, James Taylor and Merle Haggard, as well as his own musical family – especially his mother, a singer herself. She recorded and performed in Nashville for a time. Him and his mother lived on top of a Honky Tonk on Broadway in Downtown Nashville called “The Turf”.
He began writing songs at age 12 and, perhaps inevitably, moved to Music City several years later, making the dues-paying rounds of writer’s nights and songwriting contests. He caught a break when his songs caught the ear of a small publishing company call King Lizard Music helping to launch him on a professional career that has led to award-winning collaborations with the Who’s who of songwriting royalty.
Wallin has worked hard to achieve his place on the “A List” of Nashville songwriters, and doesn’t take his status for granted.

Check his music out on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube and at his website www.chriswallin.com!

It was wonderful to meet Nancy Hinz, granddaughter

It was wonderful to meet Nancy Hinz, granddaughter of Herman Rietveld, original builder of the Pella Opera House. From our recent tuckpointing project, we have one of the original bricks from Rietveld’s Drain and Tile Co. used in the building project. It was fun to show that to Nancy!
