Nashville Country

Here it is! "Takin' Care of Business" like I promised you. It's a 'Live' thing I did on my 2 year tour with La Movida Band from late '85 up thru '88. I decided after 15 years of playing the Rock/Disco/Funk scene, that I'd come back to the Tejano ONDA/Chicana Latin scene with an original band that played Rock also, and Ricky Smith was the man I wanted to join with. I met him at a link. cable studio where he was doing an interview in Dallas while I was learning the in's and out's of the studio business...editing and running the cameras and stuff. He was looking for a Bass player to tour with him cause his was married and his wife didn't want him traveling and doing bad boy stuff. I was a 'bad' boy and liked the free be's...still do ~ and joined the "Panty Power Album" tour sponsored by Pepsi/Miller Lite.

It's for 'streaming only' but as a subscriber, you can get it 'free' along with any and all the other songs not available by just replying to this News Letter and I will send you all you want in MP3 form, including "Rock &Roll Down in Texas" to save the $.99 cents. Tell your friends!

Nashville Country is receiving play on Indie Network Radio. We're very excited and hope you will be listening on Saturday, June 20th. Our song, Eternally II will be aired.

Hello Everyone,
Nashville Country just released our third album, entitled, God's Gracious Love. This one is very special and has many different elements and influences of Contemporary/Country Christian. You will recognize Traditional Country, as well as Celtic Influences. There is also a wonderful song, Nature's Freedom that recognizes the Indian Culture (Native American) and the church of Mother Earth, that is a reflection of my work within the Indian Community. My own roots are Irish American, and so the Celtic influence will often shine through the music. The interweaving of bluegrass elements is another presence in this album, that first and foremost is our way to recognize praise. William, Sandi, and I included Gospel/Spiritual music in the songs Safely Home and He Comforts Me and these ones will bring you to church. You will find aspects of traditional and contemporary hymns that represent a multitude of ways to praise God. In these trying times, it is important to remember that God's love is gracious, and that he is ever present and with us. These songs will soon be available for download as singles or the entire album: link

Thanks so much for your loyal and loving support,
Clare Steffen

Hi Folks,
Just wanted to let you know about our most recent album, Country Wise Tales. This one is especially fun, and has some straight up bluegrass, along with country. You might notice some Celtic influence in a couple of the songs, which isn't really too much of a stretch given my background. We have another song to honor our veterans and always like to keep them visible for all they have given. There are also a couple of just plain fun, upbeat songs. Anyway, take a listen and let us know what you think.
We are working on the next album, which will be a Christian Contemporary/Gospel album. We believe that the spiritual connection fuels our music. Stay tuned and I am certain you will enjoy that music. As always, we appreciate your ongoing support and incredibly positive feedback for our music. We are happy to be a part of the family of musicians and supportive listeners here at N1M. You folks are just great and bring us lots of joy. Happy New Year to all of you!

Nashville Country is a trio of musicians dedicated to making music that is uplifting and offers encouragement. Their story songs examine life events that most of us have experienced, and they share them in the form of song. Dr. Clare Steffen, The lyricist in the group has created a deck of cards to explore message music, that can be used to start conversations with friends, family, or anyone interested in music and the tales of life stories. Music evokes emotions, and the five themes of message music can be found in most songs of any genre. This affordable card deck is fun and can also be used by teachers, therapists, and anyone who works with people. They are small and fit in your pocket, and for a small amount, you’ll have lots of fun.
