http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz1rdd15-l4
Nash Street is a band located in northeast Mississippi that has developed a unique sound that can best be described as grassroots country. The band members include: Hannah Melby, Caroline Melby, Daniel Hare, Clay Lezon, and Jason Graham. Each member enjoys performing and sharing their music, which they do as much as they are able (considering all of the members are in college, and one in highschool). The band began as the two original members, Hannah and Daniel, were in elementary school. Over many years, and changes in membership, Nash Street finally formed into a group that works together towards the same goal, and enjoys every second of it. Every show and every town is a new experience, and with each one, Nash Street works to please the supportive listeners, and encourage the new musicians. Let us hear from you if you're interested. Maybe we will even come to your area someday!
