Logan Mize with special guest Matt Stell
Saturday, January 27 | 8PM
Doors Open at 7PM
Logan Mize is an accomplished country singer/songwriter from Clearwater, Kansas, who has deep musical roots to his family tree. His great uncle was Billy Mize, largely known for crafting and evolving the legendary Bakersfield sound, which included musical pioneers Merle Haggard and Buck Owens. In 2010, several years after moving to Nashville, Logan signed a publishing/record deal with Big Yellow Dog Music and a booking deal with William Morris Endeavor. He spent the next seven years playing seemingly every venue in every town across the U.S. and winning over fans every stop along the way. In 2016, Mize made waves when he booked a solo acoustic tour via social media and traveled more than 20 thousand miles in less than two months in a 1989 Chevy station wagon named "Glenn" running his own sound and lighting performing 2- and 3-hour acoustic shows for fans across the country. Mize is excited for this new chapter and this new, much-anticipated release with Big Yellow Dog Music.
Matt Stell:
Every country singer/songwriter has a unique path that leads them to Nashville. Wipe Open Music's newest signee is no different.
Stell was a star basketball player in college but his coach, who has since become a big fan, did not want out playing and taking his attention away from basketball. As any musician knows, when it is in your blood you do what you must to live the dream. Stell created an alias, Paul Wayne Walker, so that he could do just that...develop his passion on the stage. As his basketball career flourished so did his popularity in country music. In addition to playing over 100 dates a year he began writing songs for the elite artists of Red Dirt music.
Always the multi-tasker, Stell went on to get his master’s degree while delivering chart toppers for Red Dirt star Casey Donahew. Artists like Cory Morrow, Bart Crow and the John D Hale Band were also the beneficiaries of Stell's writing talents. "Texas Music has an independence and freedom that is like no other. I feel really comfortable there. About three years ago I decided to come to Nashville with the goal of growing as a writer and learning from the vast wealth of songwriting talent that exists here." Enter Wide Open Music's Ash Bowers and Amy Hendon Scott. They immediately saw the spark that Stell possessed in both songwriting and performing. Wide Open Music signed him to a publishing and artist development deal. "Matt is so talented. When you see how he commands the audience it is clear his future is extremely promising," praises Hendon Scott. A&R Director for the company. "We know we wanted to be a part of Matt's career. It is limitless."
This Center Ridge, Arkansas native has fit like a glove into the Nashville songwriting circles. "When I write, I love to interact with diverse characters and see the world through unique perspectives," says the hard to miss 6'7" crooner that goes by the nickname, Stretch. "What I feel leads to really successful co-writes is being able to draw from writer’s world views and experiences that might be different than mine." Co-writers often say the same of Stell, who brings insightful point-of-views of his very own to the table when he writes.
"If I had to choose between playing shows and writing songs, I honestly don't know which way I would go," said the man that considers himself equal parts songwriter and performer.
Must be 21+ to attend.
