Javelyn is a singer-songwriter, performing artist, television host, social media influencer and so much more. Since early September, she has been hosting "Java With Javelyn" at the 404 Bar and Grill. The show is an open-mic, which as Javelyn explained is different than a songwriters round because the later usually has scheduled artists whereas at her event there is a sign-up sheet and the number of people prepared to play varies, therefore they might get to perform more than an allotted two or three songs. Javelyn also adds an element of fun by raffling off prizes and in recent weeks she has partnered with a group that hosts poker games on Tuesdays as well.

Please note that an open-mic is not karaoke. Rose confessed to that misunderstanding but decided to give it a shot anyway. Rose presented a cover song in which Javelyn with the help of her trustee phone accompanied her on ukulele. Although, most folks prefer to play originals covers are generally well received. Rose was a good singer and perhaps left that night inspired to put pen to paper and give songwriting a shot.

In the Nashville spotlight - Javelyn, Corin Diaz, Mike Villines and Brandon Britton.

Corin Diaz described her style as alternative folk. She picked and strummed her guitar to punctuate poetic lyrics. Songs such as "I Listen To The Birds" painted pretty and realistic images of nature. Corin was paired with Mike Villines who was a strong storyteller and we really enjoyed his take on Texas-Honky-Tonk with a tune about love as big as the Lone Star State.

Next, Brandon Britton who is a musician and producer shared the stage with Dustin Weber. Both men were expressive singers and players who performed snappy along with more sentimental pieces during their solid set. A keyboard was set up for Analog Mike who shared his insights on life in a compelling composition about being a "Better Man". When Diaz saw the keyboard she asked if she could play another song and she shined on a track called "Guiding Light".

Javelyn who also plays keys closed another edition of her uniquely conceived showcase with the inspiring "Not Alone". If you want to start jamming with Javelyn then get in touch with her A.S.A.P. to book your appearance or come on down to the 404 Bar Grill at 404 Elysian Fields Road on a Tuesday night and sign up.
