Overtones LIVE

Hosted by Renee Collins Cobb

Warren Cobb, Executive Producer

Overtones LIVE is a multi award winning radio show emanating from Lexington, Kentucky.  It has been recorded both in the Radiolex studios and in presenting our special editions - with a live audience at various venues like Austin City Saloon, Zanzabar, Bluegrass Barrel House, Kentucky Music Hall of Fame, and Tipsy Cow in Kentucky and at NashHouse Southern Spoon and Saloon in Nashville, TN.  All venue partners have been incredibly supportive of our presentation of live original music of all genres in their venue and we are truly thankful for all of them. 

 

Host Renee Collins Cobb and her husband Warren Cobb, are executive producers of this show that features musical artists from Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, Tennessee and Indiana performing their own original music.

 

We focus on promoting diversity and inclusion in styles and genres, and many of our artists have had songs on the top 100 Country charts, and have appeared on The Voice, American Idol, America's Got Talent and even X-Factor in Denmark

"Finding
Your Why"
with Renee Collins Cobb 

The “overtone” of presenting Overtones LIVE shows is what has snowballed into partnering with a variety of many other organizations as we bring an entire new meaning and reach to the phase “working in concert”.

​

Meaning in life is different from purpose in life. Meaning is personal, individual and unique. It is a gift. Purpose then becomes paying that gift forward and living in service to others. It is the intersection of your talents, contributions, impact and value with simply “what the world needs”.

​

“Working in Concert” in “orchestrating a life and career of alignment, harmony, purpose and inner peace." - Renee Collins Cobb
