Biography:

Ten Out Of Tenn debuted three years ago to shine a light on a few of the many Nashville artists who haven’t waited around for the world to hear about them. It was the brainchild of recording artist Trent Dabbs and his wife Kristen. On their way to Nashville from Jackson, Miss., it occurred to them that their favorite musicians were closer than they’d realized. “We were thinking about how much music we like that happens to be our friends’,” says Dabbs. “There’s a community of people here with a lot of talent.” Helmed by Kristen, the idea quickly turned into a compilation disc, and the compilation into a tour.

Press:

"Ten Out of Tenn is a community of gifted singer/songwriters from Tennessee who have banded together to not only promote and inspire each other, but even to tour together."
Daryl Smith - Saving The Set List

"They were tight in their musicianship, eloquent in their melodies, and carved out several moments during the 2 hour set."
Mark - The Soundtrack to Life

"It's building a trusted brand and franchise by letting in only exceptional artists. It creates a whole-is-greater-than-the-sum-of-the-parts vibe that generates a lot of enthusiasm and passion. It re-brands Nashville as Music City for all, not just country."
Craig Havighurst - String Theory Media

"[In Any Day Now], you get a candid look at the interplay of friends on the road, some slapstick humor and laid-back sing-alongs, as well as personal thoughts and a performance from each artist. The audio is crisp and sweet, the action moves along quickly and the look is engaging."
Chris Parton - CMT.com

"Spurred by collaboration, the dynamic among the musicians is more convivial than competitive."
Stephen M. Deusner - Express Night Out

"While traveling on Willie Nelson’s old beat up 1984 tour bus, the musicians leave their mark on every city both literally and figuratively. Together the musicians reveal an era of music and define the age of their time while savoring the experience and sense of family that was created."
Lou Mindar - Documentary Film Blog

"It was a diverse display, but everyone up there was united by tremendous talent; they all had fantastic voices, and their musicianship was universally tight."
Emily Hulme - am New York

"10 Out of Tenn brings together 10 of brightest and boldest singer-songwriters, pooling together talent that stands out as the top of their class, and bringing it to audiences throughout the States."
Christina Morelli - NYC Art Scene

"For a city that's known for 10-gallon-hat country, Nashville has quietly begun to flourish this decade as a place for rock-leaning singer/songwriters. Exhibit A is the third album from Music City collective Ten Out of Tenn."
Josh Jackson - PASTE Magazine

“If it’s a special thing to witness an artist on the edge of stardom, seeing it times ten is all the more electrifying.”
Aarik Danielsen - PopMatters

“Nashvillians though they may be, they weren’t and aren’t afraid of solid hooks, even while inserting enough grit and grime in their delivery to retain all indie bona fides.”
Jonathan Scott - StereoSubversion

“It transcends record labels and genres, focusing instead on songwriters currently congregating in a specific locale — Nashville, Tennessee. Ten out of Tenn is as much about changing perceptions of Nashville as a music-making destination as it is about highlighting the artists in the lineup.”
Jewly Hight - MusicWorld

"I know that the Ten out of Tenn project is a creative way for a group of talented musicians to help promote each other’s music, but I can’t help but hope their latest tour is the beginning of an indie supergroup."
Kevin Keller - PASTE Magazine
