“Toni Staples – Get To Know Toni Staples”
featuring the song “My Proud Soldier” [/vc_column_text][vc_message color=”alert-info” style=”3d”]I don’t always talk to folks from Nashville, but when I do, I try to find the nicest people to visit with.    On the program this week, I visit with a VERY nice woman:  Toni Staples!  Her voice is pleasing to the ear, both in song and in conversation with me on the telephone.  Her warm Tennessee charm comes through across the miles as she shares a little bit of her story and her journey as a songwriter.  I can’t wait until our next visit![/vc_message][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text h1_css=”{.vc_customizer_1435988169520}” h2_css=”{.vc_customizer_1435988169521}” h3_css=”{.vc_customizer_1435988169521}” h4_css=”{.vc_customizer_1435988169522}” h5_css=”{.vc_customizer_1435988169522}” h6_css=”{.vc_customizer_1435988169522}” p_css=”{.vc_customizer_1435988169523}” link_css=”{.vc_customizer_1435988169523}” list_css=”{.vc_customizer_1435988169523}”]

You’ll hear about some of her mentors and role models, her family life, and how she came to write “My Proud Soldier,” a song that has been growing in popularity.

Another visit is in the planning, due to the technical issues during this one. There was a glitch in the sound system, but what Toni shared with me was worth sharing with you, in spite of the background noise. Our next visit will focus on songwriting and behind the scenes talk, and she told me that she all too happy to oblige.  Oh, and she has recently played at the Bluebird!!  Gotta ask her how that was.

I always feel blessed to make another friend, and as I’ve said before, you can never have too many!   The lady behind the music is just as lovely as the music she creates.   I think you’ll agree![/vc_column_text][vc_message color=”alert-success” style=”3d”]Toni Staples has contributed her time and music (along with other award-winning songwriters) to help and honor our servicemen doing shows that benefit organizations including Joshua Chamberlain Society, Nashville Operation Stand Down and the Wounded Warrior project.[/vc_message][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ onclick=”custom_link” custom_links_target=”_self” images=”11417,11418,5366,11420,11419″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][ivan_info_box ico_family=”fa fa-” position=”left” vertical=”no” align=” default-align” style=”circle” size=”64″ main_css=”{.vc_customizer_1435988754118}” icon_css=”{.vc_customizer_1435988754118}color:#dd3333;background-color:#1e73be;” title_css=”{.vc_customizer_1435988754118}” content_css=”{.vc_customizer_1435988754119}” ico=”music” css_animation=”appear”]Visit Toni’s website:
