4 PM START
Cliff Waddell is a performing recording artist in Nashville, TN with residencies weekly on Lower Broadway at Layla’s Honky Tonk, The Local Nash, The Local Hendersonville, and Music City Bar and Grill in Music Valley. As the saying goes, you never know who’s in the audience, and this certainly came to light when Cliff was spotted by Willie Vanhook, accredited songwriter and fiddle player of 24 years with Mark Chesnutt’s New South band. Cliff soon began vocal demo sessions for Vanhook and that quickly led to something they’ve both been searching for for years—the right guy!
Cliff is currently writing his newest album with Vanhook, who is now managing and producing the project. They will be releasing their first EP in February of 2025, highlighting six originals plus a bonus track covering Gary Stewart’s classic country hit, "An Empty Glass," with a modern production in an effort to keep the classics alive and strong! The first release from the EP, "Drinking on an Empty Heart," written by Willie Vanhook and Kirk Roth, is continuously gaining traction and has placed him on FM country radio nationwide for the first time in his career. It has been dubbed a “career song” for him by industry professionals.
