Show C-4 Wed/Thurs/Fri, January 27-29, 2016 The Park Record Continued From C-2 Tabish ready for Sundance post-rock styles of Iceland's Sigur Rós and Canada's Godspeed! You Black Emperor. "[They] kind of stretched this idea of what a band could be, and that expanded my mind a lot," Tabish said. "I found out that it didn't have to just be about pop tunes and three- to five-minute songs." Throughout its 13-year career, Other Lives has toured with Radiohead, had songs featured on the TV series "Grey's Anatomy" and performed at Coachella. For Tabish, the real reward is more personal. "Well, besides all of the money and cars," he said with a laugh. "No. Honestly, the two things that drive the band is the self satisfaction of being able to wake up every day and write about whatever I choose."

"The writers are able to get some respect, or at least more chances to share the stories of where the songs come from," Gorley said. "So, it's an honor to be asked to perform and to have enough songs at the ASCAP Music Café. It's a blessing and honor as well." Gorley got into music while growing up in Danville, Kentucky. "I was a music junkie and watched lot of MTV," he said. "By the time I was 11 years old, I was deejaying a lot of the school dances and parties and I would make mix tapes before everything was tempocontrolled iMac stuff." While Gorley appreciated the artists, he always found himself drawn to the songs, themselves. "I loved everything -- pop, rhythm and blues, hip-hop, and worked in all of those kinds of genres," he said. "I would learn how to play those songs on the piano or keyboards, whatever, and found out how to remix those songs. As I did that, I learned the infrastructure of the songs." He moved to Nashville, which was only three hours away from his home, to attend Belmont University, where he learned about the music business, including the publishing and studio-production aspect. "It wasn't until I moved to Nashville that I learned there was such thing as a staff songwriting position, where you don't have to be prominent being a vocalist or instrumentalist," Gorley said. "While I was in college, I picked up and learned how to play the guitar and piano and learned to sing a little bit. "I wasn't good enough at one of those things to be my gig, nor did I want them to be," he said. "But once I realized it's not always the artists who wrote the songs, I went hardcore into that." Gorley fell in love with the country music business. "I liked the the wide variety of subjects you could write songs about, so I put away the electronic stuff and focused on lyric and melody," he said. For the past 13 years, he has written songs that have been picked up by Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw. He's also not one of those people who became a songwriter because he didn't make it as a recording artist. "I didn't want any part of that at all," Gorley said. "I never wrote songs for myself, because my goal is always to have a song that makes an artist want to play it and maybe take their career up a notch." What made him nervous when he started was getting in a songwriting session and yelling out the melodies that were in his head in front of many other writers who were better singers. "Now, I have no problem doing that because I'm with people I'm comfortable with," he said. Although he can be insecure about his own singing and playing, he still emits a level of confidence that someone will like his songs enough to record them. "Writing scared isn't a good place to write from," he said. There are times, however, when someone he didn't expect will decide to record one of this songs. "The people that have surprised me are the legends like Randy Travis, because I remember my mom and grandma watching him on the Country Music Awards, when country wasn't on my radar," Gorley said. "I remember him and George Strait, specifically, and also Reba McEntire." All of whom have recorded Gorley's songs. McEntire picked up the song "That's When I Knew" for her 2015 album "Love Somebody." The song Randy recorded, "Dig Just Call (75 min hot stone session*) Joel Book Appointments & Buy Gift Certificates online. *All sessions include 5-10 minutes to consult with your therapist, change clothes, get on and off the table and relax.

Gorley was also shocked when he heard George Strait sing "If the Whole World Was a Honkey Tonk" and when Kenny Rogers also did "My Petition." "These were classic people and impressive for my folks back at home," he said. "So to do something they wanted to do was most shocking to me." A song Adkins picked up, "You're Going to Miss This," is one of Gorley's most personal. "It stemmed from a reallife scenario of my kids acting crazy in our first fixer-upper house," Gorley said. "When I wrote that song, they were four and two, and now they are 13 and 11, and we have another one who is seven." That song is about all the things people want to rush. "When they're kids, they want to grow up," Gorley said. "When they grow up, they want to go to college and while they're in college, they want to graduate and get a job. But afterwards, everybody finds out how life goes by so quickly. "My kids consider the song their's, so when they hear it on the radio, they know it's talking about them, and that makes it so special," he said. Worley promised a fun performance when he, DeStefano and Osborne play in Park City. "I'll be playing with two guys I have written songs with, and one (DeStefano), I've written hundreds of songs with and the other (Osborne), I've had a lot of success as well," he said. "We all know each others' songs and can jump in on some of the songs together. "It will be like a sneak peek into one of our writing sessions," Gorley said. "Plus, our wives are coming with us and they all get along, so it will be great." Ashley Gorley will perform along with Chris DeStefano and Josh Osborne in a Bluebird Café songwriter's round a the ASCAP Music Café on Wednesday, Jan. 27, at 3;20 p.m., and Thursday, Jan. 28, at 4 p.m. Visit www. ascap.com/sundance.
