I'm a writer making very positive, and defined connections in, and outside of Nashville. If you are an artist who is looking for high quality, non-cover tunes to record, listen to some of my songs here on the player. If you are interested in any of them contact me at the email address listed below.

Likewise, if you are an artist, or writer who is serious about making good music, and would like to try some co-writing to that end, contact me at the email address listed below.

Thanks,

Donna Dutchess Songwriter￼ Biography Stricken with spinal meningitis at the age of 18 months, Donna lost 60% of her hearing. Regardless, music has always been special in her life, remembering “composing” symphonies in her head as early as 5 years old. Being a child of the 60’s, the biggest influence in Donna’s life musically was the Beatles, couple with a strong exposure to the classics. Being unbearably shy and self-conscious due to her disability, Donna’s entire world exploded at the age of 13 when she started playing the guitar and writing music. Determined to set an example for other people with disabilities, she put together several bands over the next 30 years, acquiring local success with Buffalos’ first all female country band, touring all over Western New York and Pennsylvania. Besides being the leader of the band, Donna played the guitar, banjo and wrote all the bands original music. Due to the success of her last band “Sweet Phantasy” Donna was featured in a half hour television special focusing on her ability to perform and write music, despite her hearing loss. Now with her performing days behind her, Donna is concentrating all her creative abilities on perfecting her craft of songwriting. Having written 100’s of songs over the years, she is writing new and re-writing some old, having them produced and recorded in Nashville for that pure country sound. Tapping in to the wisdom that comes with experience, her music now has taken on a new life, and richness of its own. “Now, I tell it like it is because I’ve been there, done that, and have a lot to say”.

Nashville based Country/Americana singer/songwriter from the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.

I’m a singer /songwriter in Houston, TX. I write Alt Americana songs that I hope you enjoy. I’m also a psychonaut, continuously falling through other dimensions, and visiting unfamiliar worlds with wide eyed abandon and wonder.

Formerly from Nashville TN, Steven Harz is a Connecticut-based singer-songwriter primarily focused in the country, folk, and Americana genres (Steven refers to his music as “Americana Soul”). Formerly and award-winning poet, he has taken the writing craft and put it to music.

Influenced by songwriters such as Townes Van Zandt, Steve’s lyrics are tinted with melancholy and tinged with the blues. Other songwriting heroes include Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Gram Parsons, Darrell Scott, and Gabe Lee.

Steven currently travels the music circuit in southern New England, and while in Nashville was a perennial participant in Nashville Songwriter Week festivities and has opened for award-winning songwriters/performers such as Eric Paslay.

In 2024 Steven released a series of recordings in a series titled, “Live on Main,’ and in 2025 is releasing an album called, “Live at The Buttonwood Tree.” Each contains a mix of his emotional original songs, as well as some uniquely crafted covers.

The hope in his songwriting is that somewhere a line or a lyric will touch you, making you feel something, even if only for a brief moment…
