About

Jewly Hight has written about popular music for more than a dozen outlets, including Nashville Public Radio, American Songwriter, Relix and The Nashville Scene. Born in North Carolina and raised on both coasts of Florida–the domain of manatees, sea turtles, airboats and alligators–she now lives in Nashville in an 112-year old, mint green house with her husband, their energetic dog and their 1975 Rodgers drum kit. She has a master’s from Vanderbilt University Divinity School and happens to be an avid clogger. Right By Her Roots is her first book.
