Mark Schwahn and Artists Come Together for One Tree Hill Song “Carry You Home”

Denise — Tue, 11 May 2010 19:59:16 +0000

For three days a group of musicians and one television series creator converged on Nashville, Tennessee to create something special. The collaboration produced a song called “Carry You Home” and the group called themselves Nashville Skyline. The group consisted of One Tree Hill series creator Mark Schwahn, Mike Grubbs of Wakey!Wakey!, Matthew Ryan, Dallas Green and Courtney Jaye.

Schwahn wanted to create a song in hopes of using it in the season seven finale of One Tree Hill. So, he turned to Grubbs, who also plays the character of Grubbs on One Tree Hill, for assistance writing a song. The duo travelled to Nashville and Ryan’s house, spending the first day of the three-days writing the song.

“It was kind of crazy, I had never done any co-writes before,” Grubbs admits. “I got a call from Mark asking me to come to Nashville to help put this song together. There was very little notice and we headed down to Nashville. It was a fantastic experience.”

“I’m always surprised when Mark calls,” Ryan said. “He always calls with some crazy idea. It’s like the bat phone.”

After getting the lyrics set, Schwahn enlisted the vocal and instrumental talents of Grubbs, Ryan, Green and Jaye.

“This was just one of those experiences where you look in the mirror and think you are really lucky,” Grubbs said. “Basically when we got to Nashville we locked ourselves in and said what do we want to write about. It is all thanks to the genius of Mark Schwahn, we are all very good at certain specific things and everything that everyone is good at came out in the song.”

“It was fun, we drank, we ate, we wrote, we recorded and mixed it,” Ryan said. “I can’t describe that kind of energy and momentum. It’s funny how when you are pushed into a situation how things can come together. It was really cool.”

The song is available now on iTunes, both the regular and extended version. http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/carry-you-home-single/id369553323

Denise — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 15:57:59 +0000

Amanda Schull will be a guest on the One Tree Hill Podcast on February 23 to talk about her return to One Tree Hill.

Schull took on the role of Sara, Clay’s ill-fated wife in a handful of episodes prior to her return this February. Schull will be playing tennis star Katie Ryan, who bears a striking resemblance to Clay’s, played by Robert Buckley, late wife.

“I am so excited to be back on One Tree Hill,” Schull admitted. “I talked to the writers in November about this character, and I like there is a bit of mystery about her.”

Schull struck a cord with the One Tree Hill fan base in the fall when she hit the screen as Sara. So much so, the One Tree Hill producers found a way to bring her back on the show.

“I’ve never had a response like I have with One Tree Hill, it was really heart-warming,” Schull said. “I know how dedicated the fans are to the show and to the and for them to welcome and appreciate Sara, sort of a newbie, when they are so loyal to the series regulars, it was really generous. I really felt strongly about her and our storyline, and the way that people responded to her and our storyline, was just icing on the cake.”

The podcast will also have a clip from One Tree Hill writer Terrence Coli about the writer’s task of creating the new character of Katie Ryan for Schull.

The February 22 episode of One Tree Hill is a pivotal episode, not only for its dramatic overtones, but also for the show’s fate. The One Tree Hill Twitter site, www.twitter.com/realonetreehill, has posted numerous tweets about the importance of viewership numbers as the show’s eighth season is in doubt, after not receiving an early pick-up by The CW.

Armstrong originated the role of Lydia, on One Tree Hill, in two episodes of season two. She along with Huey Lewis, who played Haley’s father Jim James, were brought into the storyline when two characters dealt with their daughter, Haley’s marriage to Nathan.

“I loved this character,” Armstrong admits. “She is such a wonderfully rich and interestingly drawn character, kind of fun and artsy and full of life.”

After Armstrong’s character fulfilled her purpose of giving Haley’s character permission to marry, she thought the storyline was over. However, five years later, Lydia James is back and there are a few changes.

“Imagine my surprise, when I left the I had one daughter on the show, when I came back I had three,” Armstrong joked. “It is so exciting to be back on, I have enjoyed my time.”

One Tree Hill Writer Terrence Coli Talks About Penning 80’s Themed Episode on Feb. 2 Podcast

Denise — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:35:48 +0000

On February 2, the One Tree Hill Podcast will have an exclusive interview with One Tree Hill writer Terrence Coli about penning the February 1 episode “Don’t You Forget About Me.” The episode is an 1980’s themed episode, that is also a tribute to the late writer/director John Hughes.

The title of the episode, “Don’t You Forget About Me,” comes from the Simple Minds song that was made famous in Hughes’ quintessential 80’s movie “The Breakfast Club.” It is just one of many Hughes references and movies peppered through the episode.

Coli got the idea for the episode after the passing of Hughes in August of 2009. The whole One Tree Hill writing staff was affected by Hughes’ passing and was huge fans of him.

“Growing up in the 80’s, as I did, with these seminal classics of my youth, like Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Some Kind of Wonderful, all of those movies have such an influence on all of us here on the writing staff,” Coli said. “Most of us didn’t know Hughes, but those of us who grew up with those movies, knew how much they and he meant to us and never forgot it.”

Coli then decided when it was his turn to write his next episode, he wanted to pitch an 80’s themed episode and passed it by One Tree Hill writer Bill Brown, who worked with Hughes on films like “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ and “Plane’s Trains and Automobiles.”

“When I started thinking about this next episode, I would write, I thought wouldn’t it be cool to pay tribute to John Hughes,” Coli said. “The first thing I did was go to Bill and ask him if this is crazy, as a guy who knew John.”

Brown told Coli it was a great idea. Coli took the idea to One Tree Hill creator Mark Schwahn, who told him to go for it.

It evolved to the episode airing on Feb. 1. Many of the storylines of the One Tree Hill episode are taken from Hughes films. In the One Tree Hill Podcast, Coli goes through the different Hughes’ movies and which ones go with what each One Tree Hill character is going through.

The One Tree Hill Podcast will also have an exclusive interview with Rick Nielsen, from the band Cheap Trick, who had an on-camera performance in the episode. The band performs at the 80’s themed dance in the episode. The band performed “Smile” (from their new album The Latest), “Surrender,” and “I Want You to Want Me.”

Nichols was introduced to the One Tree Hill fan base as Julian Baker in the eighth episode of season six last year. Nichols’ character was brought on board to cause a stir between the show’s couple Lucas Scott and Peyton Sawyer, but Julian was soon linked romantically with the Brooke Davis character.

Austin admitted he was unsure when he was asked to be brought on board the show full-time.

“I wasn’t sure what to think when One Tree Hill creator Mark Schwahn asked me to come on full-time,” Nichols admitted. “I didn’t know about the time commitment. But I am glad I decided to stay, I have learned so much here.”

Nichols talks about his role of Julian in the seventh season of One Tree Hill and also about working with newcomer Jana Kramer as well as Sophia Bush. He also gives a sneak peek into the short film he has been shooting with Maria Bello.
