**Daniel Neihoff** is an *emerging singer/songwriter from Paducah, KY*. He has been described as “one of the best storytelling songwriters in Nashville.” Daniel grew up in a family of songwriters, with both his father and grandmother crafting melodies and lyrics. He wrote his first song at 8 years old, surrounded by a family fit for country songs – the old kind about struggle and lonesomeness, mistakes among enduring love. The melodies and legends were all around him in his family, and it all seeped in. His accolades are impressive: he won the Kerrville New Folk Competition in 2019, was a 3-time finalist of Songwriter Serenade, placed 3rd in the Woody Guthrie songwriter contest, and won the Rocky Mountain Songwriters Contest in 2023. Neihoff has also been featured on PBS and received praise from Lori Walsh, host of In The Moment on SDPB, who said, “Daniel Neihoff, you are just what we need.” **Eryn Michel**’s songwriting walks the tightrope between real-life mess and wild imaginings—like her life, you’ll never be quite sure whether she’s singing truth, fiction, or a generous splash of both, drawn from a résumé that almost sounds made up: convoy gunner in Iraq, staffer in the Obama White House, phlebotomist, janitor, wedding planner, voice actor, and private security for a king’s granddaughter. Her songs have earned her the 2024 Bernard/Ebb Songwriting Grand Prize and a two American Songwriter lyric contest wins. **Reserve your seat by paying Scott Moore at [Moore Music in the House](https://www.mooremusic.org/). Suggested in-person contribution is $30.00. All proceeds go to the artists.** **At 6:00 pm**, I will be seated at the [Outta the Way](https://www.outta.com/) Cafe in Derwood. I'll bring a Meetup sign. Consider joining me before going to Scott and Paula's house. The cafe is 8 minutes away from our music venue. At Scott and Paula's house, I will be the tall woman with grey hair and a dark mask. I will ask Scott to reserve our seats together. **Please,** either let me know that you have not reserved a seat or you intend to not show up.

✨ One FREE Drink with Each Ticket ✨ $40 per painter [Grab your Tickets Here](https://www.dandiandidesigns.com/upcoming-events) Location: Great Mane Brewery Time: 6:30pm This artwork is designed for individuals to paint on a single canvas. However, you're welcome to make it a collaboration project with a partner. Each person can paint half of the image on their own canvas, which will come together to form one uniform piece. Grab a Free Drink and let your creativity flow onto the canvas. We will start with a blank canvas, but no previous experience is needed. I will walk you through different shading and texture techniques to create your own work of art, as well as provide you with stencils for the doves. Take advantage of this opportunity to unwind, socialize, and create something beautiful! 🎨 Personalization Option: I’m more than happy to create custom stencils in place of the doves. In the past, guests have chosen cats, dogs, gnomes, and even Bigfoot! Simply message me on Facebook, Instagram, or via email. I’d love to help bring your vision to life. Please plan to arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled start time to ensure you have time to order your drink and settle in. The painting session will last approximately 2 hours. ⚠️ Important Notes: • Tickets are sold per painter. If painting as a couple, each person must purchase a ticket. • Tickets are non-refundable. • If you plan to collaborate on one image across two canvases, please contact me in advance via Facebook, Instagram, or email at DandiAndiDesigns24@gmail.com so I can arrange seating accordingly. Come unwind, socialize, and create something beautiful. Let's paint new memories together!
