(Nashville, Tenn. – June 6, 2022) – Nashville Meets London (NML) has announced the lineup for its upcoming NML Presents at PizzaExpress Live (Holborn). On Wednesday, June 29, the much-anticipated show will feature Jeff Cohen (U.S.) and special guests Nik and Sam (U.S.) and Shannon Hynes (U.K.).

Jeff Cohen is a 6x BMI Award-winning, Grammy-nominated songwriter/producer/publisher based in Nashville whose songs have appeared on over 20 million albums sold, over 100 placements in TV/Film, and over 10 million video games.
Jeff’s songs have been recorded by The Shires, Sugarland, Big and Rich, The Band Perry, Mickey Guyton, Laura Bell Bundy, Josh Groban, Spin Doctors, Evan and Jaron, Jake Bugg, Macy Gray, Mandy Moore, Nick Lachey, Ben’s Brother, Teitur, Tina Dico, Ilse DeLange and many more. His songs have appeared on TV shows such as Paw Patrol (Theme), The Simpson’s, Dawson’s Creek, Desperate Housewives, One Tree Hill, Jack and Jill (Theme), Saturday Night Live, and more. His songs have also appeared in movies such as Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Stuart Little 2, Aquamarine, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Princess Diaries, and more. He has also written songs for commercials such as the Samsung Earbuds, Timex, Dignity Health, and more.
Jeff is a Board Member of NSAI (Nashville Songwriters Association International), a Board Member of The Inspired Nation Foundation founded by Kara DioGuardi, and is also the founder and songwriter of the critically acclaimed band Pancho’s Lament. In a previous life, he was a music executive at BMI working with such talent as Jeff Buckley, Kara DioGuardi, Lisa Loeb, Joan Osborne, Spin Doctors, Ben Folds, Wilco, Ani Di Franco, and many more.
Influenced by an eccentric blend of bluegrass festivals, classic rock, and front porch pickin’, Nik and Sam’s music roots were planted early. Virtuoso harmonies came naturally and by the age of 10, the girls were sculpting an “Everly Brothers-esque” piece of instrumentation and vocal blend.
Possessing talent far beyond their young age, the girls soon began writing their own music, infusing their individual influences into their style. Sam’s melodic banjo and Nik’s driving guitar rhythms embody the spirit of passion. Based in Nashville, TN, Nik and Sam continue to pursue their love of music around the world.
Shannon Hynes is an independent, Welsh songwriter and artist drawing influences from the Country, Americana and Folk genres. Hynes pairs an organic, traditional instrumentation with her deep intricate lyrics, all upheld by the dulcet innocence of her vocal. Receiving comparisons to modern leaders in the genre such as Kacey Musgraves and Clare Bowen, she has also been likened to legendary musical icons such as Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris. The unapologetic way in which Hynes conducts herself and her music exemplifies why she has gained such great respect on the UK Country scene and is described as the ‘one to watch in 2022’. With iTunes #1’s, headline shows, national and international radio play, recognition in the forms of ‘Hits Brits Champion’ on Country Hits Radio and a ’UK Country Music Spotlight Award’ nomination, Hynes looks forward to 2022 with lots of shows, releases and exciting new projects.
