Rehaash-GOODbye Moon
2026-01-29 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York)
GOODbye Moon was a record I made back in 2003. It’s old. Older than my oldest child. But I still enjoy performing songs from it.
Let me take you back to the very early 2000’s.
I was a big fan of this New Jersey band out of Nashville called Joe, Marc’s Brother. The internet was young. But somehow, I found out that frontman Joe Pisapia was releasing a solo record. I asked him to come play in Annapolis, and he did. I gathered some friends and musicians and we recreated his solo album. It was joyous. After the show, I asked Joe if he would consider producing a record for me. I am delighted to report that Joe agreed.
And GOODbye Moon was the result. On my drives to and from Nashville, I listened to so many great artists that called that city home. David Mead and Josh Rouse – both added their vocals to my record. Swan Dive (Bill DeMain and Molly Felder), – on repeat on those 11+ hour commutes. I can’t recall when I first heard The Bees record, but Daniel Tashian and his next band, The Silver Seas, fall into this same geographic / sonic universe for me. Maybe it was producer / songwriter Brad Jones that is the center of it all?
Perhaps more research is required.
What I do know is this: these artists and their music take me back to that time. And I do love a reliable Time Machine.
So for January’s reHAASh, I (we), will be performing songs from within this universe I just mentioned.
And deep inside this universe lives a little moon (GOODbyeMoon). Maybe that moon will temporarily be the center of the musical universe for this one evening.
Join us, won’t you?

ABOUT THE YOUNG FABLES:
The Young Fables:

Videos: youtube.com/@TheYoungFables
Featured: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSJjIGgo16o
The Young Fables (TYF) create music with classic storytelling woven into Country music with pop sensibilities. East Tennessee (Maryville) natives, Laurel Wright and Wes Lunsford, are influenced by timeless treasures like Patsy Cline, Bonnie Raitt, Glen Campbell, and Chet Atkins. The duo’s unique sound has resonated with audiences around the globe as live performances have become stages from which The Young Fables discuss themes and topics typically saved for the therapy couch. Strong advocates for mental health awareness, The Young Fables are focused on helping to erase the stigmas surrounding the topic. Recognizing the duo’s advocacy, the pair were honored with The Troy Gentry Compassion Award in 2021 for compassion, commitment, kindness, and love.
Their whimsical yet unmistakable blend of Country and Pop has garnered praise from industry icons and tastemakers. Nine-time GRAMMY® Award winner Sheryl Crow once tweeted, “Laurel’s as good as any country singer out there!” Their releases have earned them recognition, including a spot on Rolling Stone’s “10 Best Country and Americana Songs of the Week.” They have also had the privilege of supporting artists such as Vince Gill, Amy Grant, and Rascal Flatts, as well as being invited by multi-platinum songstress Shania Twain to participate in the CBS showcase celebration, Real Country. Twain praised, “Wes is a perfect partner for Laurel’s voice. I fell in love with these guys as genuine, authentic talents.” Travis Tritt added, “Our industry needs (TYF) right now!” In September of 2023, the duo was honored as BMI & Texas Roadhouse’s Artists of the Month, resulting in their music videos being showcased in locations across the United States.
The Young Fables continue to grow their tea,m recently inking a publishing deal with BMG. In October 2024, Wright and Lunsford will unveil their fourth studio album, Short Stories, alongside their feature documentary ‘The Fable of a Song’, which clinched the Nashville Film Festival Audience Choice Award. “Each album we release serves as a journal entry for us, and Short Stories represents the next chapter,” Wright explains. “We feel fortunate to have a platform to share our music and are grateful that our story resonates with others, aiding in their healing. That’s a reward unlike any other.”
