Have you met Canaan?  Today, we have on the show Nashville newbie, and cruise ship veteran Canaan Cox! Originally from the small town of Henderson, NC, Canaan grew up playing roles in the theater and singing in musicals. Since getting serious about music in his freshman year of college, he has made it his focus to make singing happen as a career. He has played all over the world on cruise ships to fund his recent move to Nashville this past September, and in this episode of #NHCD, we learn he might be a bit obsessed with hit tv show “How I Met Your Mother”. Tune in to episode 66 of Nashville Hits Collecting Dust to hear Canaan Cox sing his new song “Giving Up” and make sure to connect with him on Facebook and Twitter @Canaancox!

In my 15 years living in Nashville, I have been fortunate to watch a lot of friends like Kip Moore, Brett Eldredge, Florida Georgia Line, A Thousand Horses, Michael Ray and more, start their journeys with a back pack and a dream and end up being a huge success in country music.

Yet the most frustrating part about being a friend and a fan to not just artist, but writers like Corey Crowder, Justin Weaver, Rick Huckaby, Westin Davis and many more, has been hearing amazing songs that will never leave the Nashville city limits.

Nashville Hits Collecting Dust" is a casual, entertaining hangout with friends telling stories, giving valuable advice, and playing great songs that otherwise would still be sitting in a database.

My guest are pure entrepreneurs that are living out their dream of being artist and full time songwriters.
