We are thrilled to announce that @thelmaandjamesmusic will be performing at the #NashFilm56 Award Ceremony on September 21 🙌

An undeniable force, married Nashville-based singer-songwriters MacKenzie Porter and Jake Etheridge form the musical partnership Thelma & James. Not realizing the best writing partner was right under their noses the whole time, their first co-write in over a decade produced "Happy Ever After You." Evolving organically from an impromptu video that earned praise from fellow artists like John Mayer, Luke Combs, Brandi Carlile and more, the song has since garnered over 20 million streams since its release. The pair signed to Big Loud Records in 2025 and have since released “First Love,” “Chainsmokin Memories,” “Canaries in a Coal Mine” and most recent “Nostalgic for Nothing.” Doubling down on the fortuitous new musical chapter, Thelma & James set their debut EP “Starting Over” for Sept. 19.

Reserve your spot at the Awards Ceremony today! Link in bio.
