Nathan youssef, co-founder of Tunehatch, along with Blaine Holcomb and Will Pellerin two musicians with a passion for country and americana, dive into the heart of Nashville's vibrant music scene. Hatch House is a weekly podcast that explores the melodies and tales of Music City's artists as well as their own stories from their near decade-long stint in Nashville. Each episode features candid conversations with local legends and the fresh faces shaping the future of music in Nashville.
Garrett Thorn returns this week to talk about the creative discipline behind his music, from building an environment that keeps inspiration flowing to learning when to stop judging the work and simply make more of it. Garrett dives into his new 10-song album Greenhouse, the visual world he’s built around the project, and why he’s treating branding, content, and live performance as extensions of the art itself. The conversation gets into the business of being an independent artist, the value of owning your masters, and why today’s artists are increasingly expected to build an audience before the industry is willing to invest. We also dig into AI-generated music, what it could mean for Spotify and streaming, and why the imperfections and human connection of live music may become even more valuable as AI songs become harder to distinguish from the real thing.

#23 - Madison Hughes
Special guest Madison Hughes joins the show to talk about finding her voice as an artist, from shy early performances in Florida to getting a confidence boost on The Voice in 2022. Madison and ZG Smith dig into the unglamorous realities of gigging and touring, bad coffeehouse shows, weird venues and how booking agents and relationships can change everything. We also get real about modern music marketing, TikTok “lottery” moments, and the balance between chasing trends and staying authentic while putting work out before it feels perfect. The episode closes with Nashville venue talk, onstage banter tips, and a tease of a new collaboration song (“Worth the Feeling”) coming soon.

#22 - Tera Lynne
Singer-songwriter Tera Lynne joins Nathan Youssef and co-host Blaine Holcomb to talk about her path from Missouri to Nashville, cutting her teeth in the honky-tonk circuit, and what it actually takes to build a sustainable music career today. We get into her early “baptism by fire” years downtown, the long and expensive road to making a true debut album, why streaming pays so poorly, and how touring + merch keep artists afloat. Tera Lynne breaks down her releases (including Flowers From the Ground and its string-only companion Flowers Reimagined), her shift toward a single-by-single strategy, and her goals for 2026: more ticketed shows and more full-band dates. The convo also dives into TuneHatch’s new artist tools for tour routing and gig opportunities, and Tera Lynne shares details on her single “Big Picture” (out Feb 20) and the philosophy behind it.
