Westhaven Songwriter Night with Emily Earle and Jeff Middleton

is a mix of Texas grit and Colorado cool. Her songwriting paints thoughtful pictures of every day life that walk the line between entertaining and relatable.

 Earle
first gained national prominence during a successful run on the third season of
NBC’s “The Voice,” which came about after a television producer noticed the
recent Berklee College of Music graduate performing on the subway platforms of
Manhattan’s Rockefeller Center station. Following “The Voice,” she moved to
Nashville to write, record and tour. With the same hustle and determination
that marked her busking days in New York, Earle often took late-night Greyhound
buses to her out-of-town gigs to save money, sojourns she now recollects fondly
as her first “solo bus tours.”

 In the years since,
Earle has become one of Music City’s more prolific songwriters and
collaborators. She pens hundreds of songs annually and her compositions have
been recorded by numerous esteemed artists, including her uncle Steve Earle,
Now United, Walker McGuire, Hayden Haddock, Jon Wolfe and several promising
emerging talents as well.

Earle
– named one of CMT’s Next Up Now Artists in 2022 – is also a dynamic performer
who has shared the stage with Robert Earle Keen, Shawn Camp, Aaron Watson,
Tanya Tucker, John Michael Montgomery and many others. She will be releasing
new music in 2024. Follow her on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram:

Originally from New Jersey, singer/songwriter Jeff Middleton moved to Nashville over twenty years ago to build a career in the music business. He was a member of the critically acclaimed Warner Music recording artist Dirt Drifters and has performed across the country and internationally with Chely Wright and Josh Thompson.

In addition to spending time on the road and stage, Jeff has been a staff songwriter for Liz Rose Music, Universal Publishing, BMG and Stage Three Music. Over the past two decades, Jeff’s songs have been recorded by numerous artists, including Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, Lee Brice, Morgan Wallen, Jordan Davis and Trace Adkins.

He was nominated for CMA Song of the year for “Drowns the Whiskey”, a multi-week #1 on country radio for Jason Aldean and Miranda Lambert. The song was recently certified by the RIAA as a platinum selling single.
