Jabe Beyer is one of those musicians who we’ve been writing about since the early days of Twangville. And with good reason – his talent is as deep as his musical catalog. Although we got to know him in his Boston days, he later re-established himself in Nashville where he became a go-to collaborator as a songwriter and musician (both in the studio and on the road).
Unfortunately Beyer has been dealing with health issues for the past several months. A GoFundMe campaign has just been launched to help cover increasing medical expenses and the loss of income as he fights his way back to health.
Here are two faves from the Beyer catalog. The first, “Just Wanna Know Why” is one of my top go-to rock songs and also contains a lyric that was part of the inspiration for our ongoing #rockwisdom series: “‘Cause the past ain’t nothing but a dream you see through rose petal eyes.” The second song, “Ferris Wheel” may not be as gloriously unbridled but always puts a smile on my face.
