A brief Bio

Avery Calvert is a Nashville based singer-songwriter born out of a combination of Alabama's folk scene and the Mississippi blues tradition. Working across genres like folk, pop, and country, his music blends acoustic elements with rich instrumental colors and intimate, emotional lyricism. Calvert has performed at venues across the Southeast, including Hal and Mal's in Jackson, MS, and the 1865 Club in Nashville, TN. He has also lent his lyrics to projects by several other talented Nashville artists including Abby Kay Griffith and CC Lumia. His most recent release, “Purgatory,” is the first single off of an upcoming, yet unnamed, project that will release later this year.

So Why Am I Doing This Music Thing?

In Walt Whitman's poem, “O Me! O Life!” the speaker comes to the conclusion that purpose can be best found in the fact that “life exists… and you may contribute a verse.” As a writer and an artist, it is my mission to do just that. It is my belief that the ability to tell stories is what makes humanity unique as a species. Through my music, I aim to explore those things that make humans so complex and interesting, and to share that music so that others may have a tool for examining the beauty of life.
