SUMMARY:Eric Brace + Thomm Jutz
DESCRIPTION:This show is part of the Jammin Java/Union Stage Presents 25t
 h anniversary concert series! Join us in celebrating 25 years\, and chec
 k out our commemorative merch at the Union Stage Presents 25th anniversa
 ry Gift Shop! Eric Brace and Thomm Jutz are a formidable duo\, two singe
 r-songwriters from Nashville whose second album\, Circle and Square\, ar
 rived in January\, 2026. It’s a gorgeous rumination on creativity\, art\
 , beauty\, love\, and friendship in an age of destruction and hatred. Th
 eir last album\, Simple Motion\, hit #1 on the Folk DJ chart (FAI) in Ma
 rch\, 2024. Eric moved to Nashville twenty years ago from Washington D.C
 .\, where he was leading his acclaimed roots-rock band Last Train Home\,
  named D.C.’s “Artist of the Year” in 2003 by the Washington Area Music 
 Association. Thomm moved to Music City from his birthplace of Germany in
  2002\, and immediately became an indispensable sideman to the likes of 
 Nanci Griffith\, Mary Gauthier\, David Olney\, Kim Richey\, and others\,
  while also building a studio and a reputation as a producer and songwri
 ter. Eric\, after a leaving his career as a music writer for The Washing
 ton Post\, moved to Nashville in 2004\, and soon had a duo with his East
  Nashville neighbor\, journalist and songwriter Peter Cooper. Over more 
 than a decade they released six albums\, and earned a Grammy nomination 
 for Best Children’s Record after making I Love: Tom T. Hall’s Songs of F
 ox Hollow. After recording two albums at Thomm’s studio\, Eric and Peter
  invited Thomm to join them\, and the Brace/Cooper/ Jutz trio was born. 
 Two powerful albums ensued: Profiles in Courage\, Frailty & Discomfort\,
  and Riverland. On those albums\, songs by Brace and Cooper are side by 
 side with those of Thomm\, who won “Songwriter of the Year” at the 2021 
 IBMA bluegrass awards. His songs have been recorded by dozens of artists
  (Billy Strings\, Tim O’Brien\, the SteelDrivers\, and many more)\, and 
 he teaches songwriting at Belmont University. Thomm’s solo album To Live
  in Two Worlds was nominated for a bluegrass Grammy award in 2020\, and 
 he was featured in an “American Currents” exhibit in the Country Music H
 all of Fame & Museum. The tragic death of Peter Cooper in December\, 202
 2\, led Eric and Thomm to reassess their musical path\, but one thing em
 erged with clarity: They would continue to make music together. Their fl
 uid acoustic guitar interplay and warm vocal harmonies will continue to 
 be heard\, all in service to the songs. Songs from the heart\, songs abo
 ut insomniacs\, mill workers\, train whistles\, astronauts\, lovers\, pa
 inters\, writers\, sailors and soldiers\, songs about everyday struggles
 \, heartbreak\, and triumph. In a time of division\, Eric and Thomm seek
  — and find — connection.\n\nTickets: http://facebook.com/unionstage\n\n
