Blues Soul Roots Music From The Carolina Mountains

J.Stephens (Jonathan Stephens) is a one-man band singer songwriter based out of Spartanburg South Carolina.

I started writing songs around the age of 10. I got an acoustic guitar for Christmas when I was 16 and fell head over heels in love with singing and songwriting. However, I also played drums in a band called eleventyseven. So in a nutshell, the band signed a record deal and I spent the next 10 years traveling the world playing drums. For a decade, I had to put singing and songwriting on the back burner. The band played their last show in Germany in October of 2012. As soon as I came home, I dove head first back into singing and writing. 5 years and many songs later, I feel like it’s time to stop sitting on these songs and let folks hear them.

from mind blowing live performances and ground breaking music video projects, to his ongoing charitable efforts supporting Autism, Eric always brings an energy and creativity to any project he is involved with.

His live show is a bouillabaisse of influences, ideas, and improvisation.  You’ll hear sounds from Appalachia all the way to Arabia, and from Bombay to Britain.   Great guitarists from Tony Rice to Jimmy Page, Chet Atkins and Duane Allman.  Not to mention Eric’s interpretations of Classic songs played on his Irish Bouzouki that simply have to be seen to be believed.  You never know what song or even what instrument he will play next.

Eric has taken advantage of living in one of the most picturesque and beautiful areas of the USA by creating his ground breaking HIKING JAMS video series.  Featuring some of the most scenic waterfalls and vistas in WNC, Eric has fused live music and improvisation against the breathtaking backdrop of the area’s natural beauty.  His video series was featured in Mountain Express.  More episodes of the series are in production.

Over the past 7 years, Eric has helped raise over 100,000 dollars for Autism.  From supporting the St Gerard House early intervention center in Hendersonville, to putting on Festivals to help the Autism Science Foundation and other organizations, Eric’s passion to help stems from his own experiences raising his daughter with Autism.  He is committed to further educating people and raising awareness about the disorder, in addition to spreading hope through his music to those dealing with it.

Don’t miss out!

Come out for great music and even better wine!

Rush Morgan is a kaleidoscope of folk-rock and Americana spirit, held together by strands of old soul and timeless rock inspirations. 

After spending a year in Nashville attending the respected Dark Horse Institute, Rush cut his teeth and cut his debut record, River Stone—an album that was highly acclaimed, being described as the workings of a “true musical omnivore” in the Greenville Journal. The album was recorded with renowned producer & multi-instrumentalist Jon Estes (who’s worked with Langhorne Slim, Dolly Parton, Kesha, and more).
