Spring 2009 Schedule 

Friday, June 5, 2008 - The Waymores ($12)

The stories behind the songs. The heart behind the music. Way cool Nashville in an intimate setting: The Waymores, alt-Nashville writers-in-the-round, weave their songs and stories together for a wonderful evening at Green Wood. The Waymores are Sally Barris and Green Wood veterans Tom Kimmel and Don Henry. 

Grammy Award winner Don Henry's songs have been recorded by Ray Charles, Patti Page, Conway Twitty, Kathy Mattea and dozens of other great artists... but they shine brightest when sung by the artist who wrote them. Long appreciated as one of Nashville's finest singer-songwriters, Don is revered by fans, critics and peers alike for being one of the most inspiring, entertaining and funny(!) artists you are ever likely to see and hear. In addition to a Grammy, Kathy Mattea's version of "Where've You Been" won Don (and co-writer  Jon Vezner) song of the year honors from ACM (Academy of Country Music), CMA (Country Music Association) and NSAI (Nashville Songwriters Association International). "Where've You Been" was the first song to be awarded all four honors in the same year!

Nashville-based artist and writer Sally Barris has managed to be successful in the mainstream world of country music without giving up her folk & Celtic roots. Whether in her own hands or those of hit artists like Martina McBride or Lee Ann Womack, Sally Barris’s music makes an indelible impression. And while her writing credits mightily impress—her songs have been covered by Trisha Yearwood & Keith Urban, John Michael Montgomery, Kathy Mattea and many others—fans and peers are most captivated by her bright spirit and high mountain soprano.

Tom Kimmel's business card facetiously reads, "Overnight Success," but the truth is far from it. After graduating from college he worked as a short order cook, bus boy, taxi driver, chef, shipping clerk, lab technician, janitor, waiter, bartender and window washer on his way to establishing himself as an award winning songwriter (for Johnny Cash, Linda Ronstadt, Joe Cocker, Randy Travis and a host of others) and critically acclaimed performing artist (seven albums). Featured in motion pictures such as Runaway Bride, Serendipity, and Twins, and in television shows as varied as Captain Kangaroo, Miami Vice and Touched By An Angel, recordings of Tom’s compositions have sold millions of copies around the world, achieving gold and platinum sales in many countries. Tom is also the author of a collection of poems, The Sweetest And The Meanest.
