THE TENNESSEAN – A trio of independent-minded storytellers — Brent Cobb, Joshua Ray Walker and Maggie Antone — captivated the hearts, minds and souls of a capacity-filled Ryman Auditorium on Thursday evening.

The warmth of their lyrical sincerity and clarity of their song’s emotional intentions warmed a venue filled with patrons chilled to the bone by the sub-freezing temperatures in Nashville’s December air.
