Got those rainy day, mid-week, stayed out too late blues...   But, not really blues, but it is mid-week and rainy, and I did stay out too late...   Another fine edition of $2 Tuesday - great hangs, cool music, and $2 Yazoos for $2 admission.  Jack Silverman was dazzling with his jazzy, improvisational guitar sounds as he opened the night of music, Kristen Englenz made her $2 Tuesday debut to close out the night - with a killer band. In between was host Derek Hoke and Cara Louise from St. Louis. Plus DJ Tim Hibbs spinning Halloween themed songs.

Onward, it is Wednesday and that is day, we get wild and just throw open the shuffle to whatever songs are on my phone. Let's go!

Good morning.  It is Tuesday.  I had an enjoyable evening at Dee's in Madison.  Checking out Madison Guild Monday with Luisa Lopez, Tom Mason, Meghan Hayes, Mando Saenz, and Bob Lewis - with Megan Palmer making several guest appearances.

After that, I stayed for Cordovas who were remarkable as always.

A relatively short shuffle this morning due to some technical issues (i.e. apps not behaving like I want them to) but what are you going to do? Let's go!

I took an unexpected day off yesterday, so for today's Wild Wednesday shuffle - we are going to pull from the "New Music" playlist.  Don't worry, it is pretty wild as it is.

My heart is completely full after last night's show.  Thanks so much to everyone who came out, and to Jason Erie, The Truehearts, and their incredible bands.  We have two more Residency shows. Next up is a show featuring the artists behind two of my favorite albums of 2019.  Josh Gray and Meghan Hayes.  It will be Josh Gray's The 5 Spot debut (long overdue in my opinion).

By the way, I completely sold out on the physical copies of The Drift! Thank you to everyone who bought one.  It's not looking like I will get new ones in time for the show on the 16th, however, I hope to have more for the finale on October 23. In the meantime, you can get order the book via Amazon, and they also have a Kindle version available if that is your preference. 





Let's get right to the Thursday Shuffle!

I had another great night at $2 Tuesday - Adrian + Meredith played a bunch of new songs that sounded fantastic.  The night started with a honest to goodness FOLK singer from Arkansas names Willi Carlisle. I found myself laughing and smiling throughout his set. All the other artists were great, and of course Derek Hoke made it all worth the price of admission..


We have an honest to goodness Wild Wednesday shuffle - let's get to it!

First of all a semi-major non-announcement:  I have been giving a lot of thought to a revamp of E2TG. The main reasons are to 1. Make the site better and 2. Shift around some things to hopefully free up some time.

I have some ideas, but nothing is set.  One thing I am interested in is looking into some collaborations of various kinds that make sense in a mission oriented kind of way (look at me using important sounding words!).  So, if you are reading this and have any interest in collaborating with E2TG - let me know.  The changes would likely begin with the new year - more or less. 

I am also considering finding a new virtual home for E2TG, so if you have suggestions on that front, let me know.

Anyway, in the meantime, we have classic E2TG work to be done. Let's get to the Friday Shuffle.  Once again, I worked late adding new songs to the playlist and none of those showed up in today's shuffle.  But, some really cool stuff did show up! Let's go!

In replacing my phone, I didn't lose any of the songs for my shuffle, but I did lose my "New Music/Features/Trending" playlist- so I had to try to recreate it. Don't quite done, but I think we have a pretty good list. Let's go!
