Magnolia Roads American Roots Hoedown V - April 25 (Hoedown Preparty April 24)

Super-excited for the Fifth Magnolia Roads American Roots Hoedown. This year will be an all-day affair at The 5 Spot on Saturday April 25, and a Hoedown Pre-party on Friday April 24 at Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge.  There have been some changes since the last time I teased this event. Check out the posters below - lots of E2TG favorites in the line-up this year. I am going to be co-emceeing on Saturday. 

Much more to come!

Music City Monday Shuffle: 

Today's shuffle - down below, is our weekly Music City Monday Shuffle.  The idea for this shuffle sprung from the same place as my new radio show - Greetings from Nashville - which can be heard Thursday's at 6am on WXNA- Nashville. 

    Featured Friday Playlist
In case you missed it on Friday, we have a new Featured Friday Playlist up on Spotify.  Follow, listen, buy the music if you dig it. 

Music City Monday Shuffle:

Always a good sign when a shuffle has three appearances from Bill Lloyd. 

"Still Alive" by Bill Lloyd (from It's Happening Now)

Bill Lloyd #1

Bill Lloyd #2 with Radney Foster

"Tryna Let It Go" by Steve Forbert (from The Magic Tree)

I have been a fan since Romeo's Tune - Steve Forbert is a great songwriter with a really unique voice and a unique vocal style. 

"All Kinds of People" by Lilly Hiatt (from Trinity Lane)

With new music from Lilly Hiatt - we go back and check out this song from her breakout album Trinity Lane.

The Fatman is not afraid to take on conspiracy theories. Booth shot Lincoln - the CIA was not involved. Booth was the lone gunman.
