Song Sphere

Are you a baker? A poet? A carpenter? A decorator? In what way do you create?

Hi, I'm Julianne. I wrote songs alone for years. I loved the process enough to not give up, but I stunted myself in isolation. I have come to see how living life intentionally in the same sphere as other creators develops my art more than almost anything else. Artists need artists. Join me and my song friends, Tia Hyatt and Brian Spahr, for a cozy night of collaboration and inspiration through the sharing of songs and stories.

Tia Hyatt is a Nashville-based, singer-songwriter/musician with a passion for constructive, honest, and hopeful content (with a funky groove and witty lyricism).

Releasing her debut album, Colors Combined, in May 2022, Tia wanted to explore how people leave their mark on our lives. She describes the concept in a picture: if each person’s perspective, personality, and story was personified in a single color, whenever we loved, we would start to see hues of the other’s color in our own perspective, making a new and unique combination. At the same time, we know that those we love can’t always stick around, and, yet, somehow, both the mark they leave on us and the pain of them leaving is used for our deeper healing.

Too eclectic for her own good, Tia started her music journey by singing too loud in her room, acquiring skills in classical percussion, world percussion, drum-set, and guitar along the way.

Her music is best described as folk-rock storytelling, but Tia’s wide array of influences shine through her work. Imagine if Paul McCartney, Weezer, Sting, and Chris Thile joined musical forces.

Tia has a love of honest, intricate lyricism and small-ensemble feel.

She might have become an author, if she could have ever stopped singing. To learn more about Tia or to listen to her music, visit tiahyatt.com.

Brian Spahr is a singer/songwriter whose music carries the weight of grief and the light of grace. With the heart of a pastor and the soul of a storyteller, he writes honest lyrics wrapped in simple, memorable melodies—songs that feel like quiet companions for the road.

After a 20-year pause from music, Brian returned in 2021 with Where I Belong, recorded with friends and acclaimed musicians including Sav Madigan (Lainey Wilson, The Accidentals), Katie Larson (Brett Young, The Accidentals), Addison Agen (Fielder, The Voice Season 13), and Mike Gronsky. On January 1, 2025, he began his boldest project yet: writing and sharing a new song every week for a year, including the single A Song for the End of the World. 

Whether singing in a sanctuary or a living room, Brian invites listeners to slow down, breathe deep, and be fully present. You can hear and download each week’s rough recording for free at threadbarecreative.com and follow the journey on Instagram at @brianspahrmusic.
