It is time for another Featured Friday Playlist here at E2TG. Today's list is slightly shorted than last week, but it is jam packed with some great music from old friends and new favorites from Nashville and around the world. We start with a brand new song from a long-time E2TG favorite.

Featured Friday Playlist (song 1)

1. "Where Do I Belong" by Sara Syms

E2TG favorite Sara Syms will be releasing her new album the Darkest Night soon. Today, she releases the forth single from that album.

The gospel influenced “Where Do I Belong”, asks an existential question in The Darkest Light’s journey. Syms shares, "The past few years have flipped humanity on its side, inviting us all to evaluate everything. Whether it’s where you live, what you’re doing for work, who your tribe is, or even what you are doing on this planet, it’s an insecurity and vulnerability humans share. We all want to be a part of something greater than ourselves. We all want to belong."
I cannot wait for the album. The songs released so far have exceded my already high expectations.

Produced by Ari Teitel, and supported by members of Sweet Crude, Snarky Puppy, Cha Wa, The Dirty Dozen and Naughty Professor - the album reflects the diversity of today’s New Orleans sound, everything from jazz, soul, gospel, americana and blues to the contemporary, genre-blending work of Lucinda Williams and the ambient soundscapes of Daniel Lanois.

Tomorrow night is the kick off of the Magnolia Roads American Roots Hoedown VII. Night 1 will be at Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge. Night 2 (Saturday) will be at The 5 Spot. And Night 3 (Sunday) will be a house show in Oak Hill.

One of the featured performers on Night 1 at Dee's is an E2TG favorite - David Newbould.

How people choose to navigate through life’s highs and lows reveals a lot about their personal character, not to mention what they’re willing to do in order to get to the other side of the horizon. Chronicling these seemingly endless cycles of daily peaks and valleys forms the backbone of Newbould's 2019 album, Sin & Redemption.

The three night Magnolia Roads American Roots Hoedown VII is fast approaching. Three nights of greet roots focused music located at three different venues around town, and featuring some of my favorite artists and bands.

The festival is heavy with Nashville artists - many of whom we regularly cover, but closing out Night 2 of the Hoedown in one of the non-Nashville bands - deFrance.

deFrance formed from the muddy banks of the Ouachita River in the vest pocket town of Camden, Arkansas. Called the “hardest working band in Arkansas,” the band has racked up more than 600 shows since forming in 2015. deFrance now calls Little Rock, Arkansas, home but these road warriors carry their modern take on classic rock & roll across the world, having performed shows at legendary international venues as well as earning the respect of fans locally, with two of their songs being selected for use in Arkansas state tourism commercials. The band’s technical prowess and deliverance of a truly pure rock & roll sound has been recognized with support opportunities for Foghat, Bon Jovi, Deep Purple, ZZ Top, Whiskey Myers, Robert Randolph, Shooter Jennings, Morris Day & The Time, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and Living Colour, among others.

deFrance is scheduled to take The 5 Spot stage Saturday night at 11:15.

Matt Mann and The Shine Runners are an American rock band residing in Nashville, TN.

Magnolia Roads

American Roots Hoedown VII

This years Hoedown is almost upon us. Three nights, three venues, over 25 different artists.

Night 2 - the Hoedown returns to it's roots at The 5 Spot in East Nashville. One of the featured performers for Night 2 is Chip Greene.

Raised on the southern outskirts of Nashville, Chip Greene grew up with a very different kind of Music City looming in the distance. The construction cranes and high-rise condos— now a ubiquitous part of Nashville’s ever-growing skyline — wouldn’t pierce the horizon for another decade or more, and creative-minded people were still in charge. It was there, in a city fueled by art and filled with starry-eyed musicians, that Greene launched his career as a piano-pounding songwriter, reshaping the influences of his childhood — including Billy Joel, Charlie Rich, U2, and Bruce Springsteen — into his own brand of smoky, salt-of-the-earth rock & roll.

Today's Music City Monday playlist covers songs spanning a decade of Nashville music representing a variety of genres.

E2TG Favorites Natchez Tracers close out Night 1 of Magnolia Roads American Roots Hoedown VII - which takes place at Dee's on April 29.

Formed in 2014, Natchez Tracers are an original rock band based in Nashville, TN. While offering a healthy dose of improvisation-oriented, dance-friendly grooves reminiscent of the originators of this style from the 60's and 70's, Natchez Tracers deliver a modern take on a classic format focusing on thoughtful lyrics, inspired melodies and unexpected instrumental excursions. Co-Band Leaders Lewis Stubbs and Josh Womack are a formidable anchor for the group, equally sharing the song-writing, vocal and guitar-playing duties. Natchez Tracers keep the live show interesting and unpredictable by utilizing a couple of different rhythm sections and often have repeat guest instrumentalists sit in to add unique spins and colors to the performances. The band is currently booking and playing regional shows throughout the Southeast and beyond supporting their 2021 third EP titled Hug You All on the Other Side. More new music is coming in 2022!
