An awesome collaboration that came from our First Saturday markets!

Those that know me, know that I love supporting small businesses… even if it does take a little more arm nudging for me to do it for mine.

I’ve been on the hunt for a leather maker for some time to collaborate with. I know basic leather work and have done simplistic hat bands for my business and personal projects, but I wanted to step up to something more. I just didn’t honestly think it would be in my back yard.

Stephen and Samantha at Misty Vale Leather are excellent at what they do. True artists. I was gifted one of their “Blackwater” note carriers, and I use it daily. I also have one of their belts and it’s truly one of the best made belts I’ve worn in recent years. If you’re in the market for some handcrafted leather goods, seriously give them a shout!

So, we are announcing the “Misty Vale” collection of handcrafted artisan leather hat bands, sold exclusively through Landers Hatworks.

Cannot wait to show off all the cool designs we’ve been cooking up! Hand made, hand finished, hand dyed. Made in the Appalachian mountains, mom and pop style… need I say more?

Join us for a special Songwriters Night featuring two incredible Nashville songwriters: Rick Huckaby & Gary Harrison.

Between them, they’ve written songs recorded by artists like Blake Shelton, George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, Thomas Rhett, Trace Adkins, Shania Twain, Brooks & Dunn, Conway Twitty, Luke Bryan, Tracy Lawrence, Craig Morgan, Billy Currington, Charlie Pride, and many more. Their work includes multiple No. 1 songs and decades of songwriting that have helped shape country music.

This is a rare opportunity to hear them perform together in an intimate setting right here in Huntington. Whether you’re a longtime country music fan or just love great live music, you’ll hear songs from some of Nashville’s most respected writers, performed by the people who wrote them.

Bring some friends, grab a drink, and enjoy an evening with two of Nashville’s finest songwriters!
