Thanks Cameron Crowe… for introducing me to the band I Nine!
Were it not for seeing them perform in Franklin, Tennessee during the red carpet premiere of the movie “Elizabethtown”, I probably would have never found this band.
As far as indie music goes… this stuff ROCKS!
Following are a TON of photos we took “front & center” when I-Nine kicked off the movie premiere at Franklin Cinema the other night…
I Nine On The Red Carpet
First, I just have to say, the band members themselves are entirely charming individuals… each and every one of them.
Carmen Keigans – vocals
Brian Whitman – guitar
Bryan Gibson – cello
Matt Heath – bass
While I didn’t personally meet them, these guys appeared to be down-to-earth, one with their fans, and genuinely appreciative of their inclusion on the “Elizabethtown” soundtrack.
They also connected really well with their fans — new and old.
Highlights Of Their Performance
Following are our personal video and photos from their Franklin, Tennessee performance on Sunday, September 18, 2005.
First, The Video…
Now, The Photographs…
I Nine Fans & Followers
Hollywood movie producer, director, and screenwriter Cameron Crowe took Carmen Keigans and her I Nine bandmates under his wing during the premiere of “Elizabethtown”, where they performed their song that’s featured on the movie’s soundtrack.
That song is “Same In Any Language” — the lead song on the soundtrack — which was written by Cameron Crowe, with the help of his wife, Nancy Wilson (from Heart).
Fun Stuff About “I Nine”
Hailing from Columbia, South Carolina, I Nine‘s music is considered “acoustic alternative rock”.
Their sound is one-of-a-kind, completely original and uniquely their own.
The members met at USC in September 2003 and formed the band Isle 9. Unfortunately, this name was taken, so they changed it to I Nine. The name stuck, and is quickly becoming a well-known entity around campus. A couple of the members’ friends got together and created a Facebook group to help them gain some publicity. What began as a joke is now a group with more than 1,000 members. —Daily Gamecock
