Meet the Performing Artists Thursday, April 18


Kent Gresham
"A long time ago, I decided to teach myself guitar and piano, and fell in love with songwriting along the way. Since then, I've written songs and played out a few times at coffee shops, and truly love to share music with people. Jamming is the best!"







Abby Miracle
Abby Miracle (age 20) is a singer/songwriter from the small town of Opelika, Alabama. Abby has been singing in front of crowds since age 6, and hasn't stopped since. Abby has been logging song ideas, lyrics and melodies since about age 10. At age 15, she purchased her first ukulele and fell in love. Knowing how to play an instrument, the songwriting possibilities then seemed endless to Abby. She started taking songwriting instruction from award winning folk songwriter, Dave Potts, summer of 2014. Later that summer, Abby finally picked up the guitar and started taking lessons; because she, as her teacher said "needed to step up to 6 strings". In spring of 2015, she released her first full length album of all original music, "Colorful". The era of this record included love songs, flower crowns, catchy melodies, ukuleles and everything tie dye/rainbow. In the current era, some of the best trademarks of Abby Miracle remain. Miracle still wears flower crowns while playing some shows, her hair has taken on the "Colorful" trademark, she still writes catchy melodies, and she is very rarely found without a ukulele on hand.




Tony Brook

A working musician/songwriter. He’s all over the place. He has appeared on BBC Radio with Keith Greentree, and BBC Radio with Stephen Bumfreys. Tony has performed with Lucinda Williams, Steve Young, Johnny Neal, Tanya Tucker, Waylon Jennings’ Band.  He has opened up for such acts as Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Government Mule, Tensely Elis, and Sam Bush. Tony Brook has released his 6th and 7th full length records, "Live from the 280 Boogie" and “Songs from the 20th Century”.
“I try to cover all the Tony Brook songs I can. Tony can paint a picture of Alabama better than anyone I know." -Adam Hood, Low Country Sound and Warner/Chappell Nashville.
“Local Blues God. His likeness is emblazoned on the pages of Alabama rock history. Tony Brook’s lyricism is only matched by his guitar. His songs are solid messages of truth and wisdom. His sweet-tea southern drawl tells it like it is." - Jonas Shultz, Freak Jams, The Good Doctor

Bronson Lubresky
Rhythm and melody influenced by the beauty of the universe.
