Pianist Jason Coleman and guitarist Meagan Taylor take audiences on a journey back in time to Nashville’s “Golden Era” sharing the music made famous by Jason’s grandfather, Floyd Cramer and Meagan’s uncle Chet Atkins, as well as by the countless country, pop and rock artists they impacted. They will tell tales of Nashville’s early recording days. Floyd Cramer’s unique “slip note” piano style was an essential part of countless country, pop and rock hits in the 1950’s and ‘60”s and is widely regarded as the standard for country piano. Chet Atkin’s innovative thumb and two finger guitar style led him to become known as one of the world’s preeminent guitar virtuosos, and many of the records he produced for RCA have become classics. Jason and Meagan bring new life to the Nashville sound by playing songs like Floyd’s “Last Date” on piano and Chet’s “Freight Train” on guitar, and will sing the music of Patsy Cline, the Everly Brothers and Elvis Presley.
