Join us in our Garden Room on Thursday, January 8th, at 7:00 PM for The Songwriters Night!

The Songwriters Night is a dedicated event that celebrates the art of songwriting. During this event, a selection of songwriters, both established and emerging, take the stage to perform their original compositions. Each songwriter shares their unique perspective and style, often introducing their songs with personal anecdotes or insights into their creative process. This format not only highlights the diversity of musical genres—ranging from folk and country to rock and pop—but also fosters a sense of community among the artists and attendees.

Songwriters’ nights often include opportunities for collaboration, with artists encouraging one another and sometimes joining in on each other’s performances. This fosters a vibrant and supportive environment where creativity thrives. It’s a space where listeners can discover new talent, connect with the stories behind the songs, and appreciate the craftsmanship involved in songwriting.

Charles has been promoting and hosting songwriter events in the Tampa Bay Area since 2019, with the start of the Tampa Bay Area Singer/Songwriters Alliance (932 followers) and local songwriters’ participation in the Suncoast Songwriters Weekend 2019 at the Don CeSar. Charles also founded and is currently a coordinator for the St Petersburg Chapter of Nashville Songwriters Association International.

Description

Nate Currin - Musician

Nate Currin

Bio: With over 900 shows performed and more than 800,000 miles behind him, Nate Currin is a troubadour in the truest sense. Rooted in the red clay of North
Georgia, his voice carries the grit and soul of the South, yet his songwriting is marked by an emotional authenticity that defies pretense. Over the years, Nate has shared stages with some of the industry’s biggest names, had his music featured on major television shows, and earned accolades along the way — yet he remains a storyteller at heart, chasing genuine human connection one song, one show, one listener at a time.

From sold-out clubs to listening rooms and even four years on the road in a motorhome, Nate has built his career on hard miles and real moments. His dedication has earned him 5 International Music & Entertainment Awards — including multiple Songwriter of the Year honors—as well as nominations for Indie Music Awards and a Georgia Music Award. Several of his albums have landed in the Top 20 on the iTunes / Apple charts, including The Madman and the Poet (2016). His 2019 release, Ashes & Earth, featured the fan-favorite track “Oklahoma,” which gained recognition after appearing on Showtime’s TV show Shameless.

Now, Nate is gearing up to release his next studio album in the summer of 2025, a record that weaves together themes of longing, ghosts of the past, and the beauty found in broken places. Produced by Matthew Odmark and Jon Poole, the album was recorded in both Nashville and Georgia, blending rich, organic instrumentation with the kind of raw storytelling that has defined Nate’s career. This new chapter promises to be one of his most compelling yet—another testament to a songwriter who isn’t afraid to dig deep, make mistakes, and bring back something authentic and inspiring. natecurrin.com
