Being born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, could make it seem as if a job in country music is a given.
Not so for Mitchell Tenpenny.
“I thought I was going to play football,” Tenpenny said by phone during a break from a songwriting session. “Once I got to college, I was over that. I didn’t really have a Plan B. But things kept happening (with music) until it became a job.”
Never take a day for granted : McCreery glad to be back to the stage, and fans

With summer comes schedule changes; different work hours, extra daycare arrangements, trips to the Farmer’s Market and swimming pool, summer camps and family vacations all come into view. Remember when the days seem to stretch on forever and it was light way past the usual bedtime? Thanks to my friend, Ellen Wilson-Pruitt, I took a couple weeks off from writing Art Cart. The staff at Reporter-Times has always been easy to work with and supportive, so I went to the beach! With grandkids! Nothing better! Now it is time to bet back on track with lots on art and community related events on the agenda.
