Ten Out of Tenn Tour: Trent Dabbs

TOT: Trent Dabbs. “Neil Young told me, ‘Write a song a day, if it’s not good-throw it away,’” Trent says. He’s been in Nashville doing just that-writing songs everyday, performing and raising a family-for more than five years. Trent has recently been collaborating and co-writing with folks like Mat Kearney, Ashley Monroe, Andy Davis, Matt Wertz, Leigh Nash (Sixpence None the Richer) and Danny Wilde (The Rembrandts). His songs have been placed on the O.C., October Road and The Hills.TOT: Trent Dabbs. “Neil Young told me, ‘Write a song a day, if it’s not good-throw it away,’” Trent says.

Trent recently released Decade Fades on vinyl, via Ready Set Records. The songs found on Decade Fades are representative of his penchant for heartfelt contemplative balladry. “Shine,” for instance, is an arresting, knock-your-breath-out song, that’ll have you picking up the needle to spin consecutively. The record is for sale on his myspace page. You can also pick it up on iTunes, if you don’t have record player…we don’t know why you wouldn’t.
