Song Divers
What makes a songwriter? What does it take to compose a meaningful work of audible art? Join us as we connect with a diverse mix of artists to explore the forces, challenges, inspiration and influences that charted their path. We dive deep into the making of a lyricist: the stories, key moments, the highs & the lows. We chat values, idols, obstacles and what it took to find their voice. And through it all, we hear some really incredible music.

Trevor Boone & James Anaya at Emerald City Guitars
Song Divers is, and will hopefully continue to be many things–– for us, and for you.

Nate Currin
Nate would be pretty comfortable with us describing him in two words: Road Warrior.
But that wouldn't be enough to encompass the description a guy like him deserves.
The much decorated songwriter i…
Steve Connelly
Steve Connelly was a spark that lit the fuse for a whole generation of musicians that would go on to be produced by Steve at Zen Recording studios, and all fantasize about being able to play even a s…
Rebekah Pulley
It's a natural tendency for us to compare musicians to others. To say Rebekah Pulley sounds like any of the songwriters that might come to mind would be well intended, but none quite a fit. She's a s…
