It seems like a good time to check-in... yep, it is June 5, 2017, and there are still white supremacists in positions of power in the White House.
******************************************************************************
Had a good time celebrating the 1st Anniversary of WXNA yesterday. As someone who come of age musically speaking with college radio (WRVU in particular), I have to say, WXNA has filled huge gap in the Nashville radio landscape. There is great original programming every single day, all day long, and I am so happy to be a part of it.
TONIGHT! Yes, the Predator's are in the Stanley Cup Finals, and Nashville is abuzz. Game 4 is tonight, but I am going to recommend you get yourself to The Basement East for the Jon Latham Benefit tonight. Not only is it a great cause for a great guy, the music is going to be incredible. Jon's ace band will be the house band with an incredible lineup of guest singers. You can check in on the game on your phone as you need to...
Okay, I was off last Monday, so this is our first Music City Monday in a couple of weeks... so let's do this thing!

Music City Monday Morning Shuffle - This Heartbreak Town Gets Around Mix

Whew! That three day weekend went by way too fast... Deep into planning the month-long E2TG Anniversary Party in May (which will be here soon!), working on Double Shot with Joe and Sue, and getting prepared to self-publish my first novel, The Drift (Follow The Drift on Facebook!). I did manage to get out a couple of times over the weekend. Friday, I met some friends at Dee's in Madison and saw Daniel Lawrence Walker, Russell Thompson, and a bit of The Hummingbyrds. I was going to go to the Country to see Zach Parks, Zach Red, and Drew Kohl, but I made the mistake of stopping by my apartment and my busy week caught up with me.
Saturday night, I caught The Wooly Mamas and long time E2TG faves - Year of October for a smoldering early show at The 5 Spot. Then, I headed to The Country to catch Sean Quinn and the Tremblers, Josh Morris and The Green Field, and more. Regular reader Sue will be interested to know that Sean Quinn did a cover of the Santo and Johnny classic "Sleep Walk". This song has been a staple in Mark Robinson's set. While I cannot guarantee that he will play that on May 3 when he kicks of the E2TG Anniversary residency at The 5 Spot, you come see and find out for yourself.
Onward - to the Music City Monday Shuffle!

Honestly, right now, I don't even know where to focus my outrage and frustration and utter disbelief that our nation has reached the point it has... #Resist #Persist - Take a breath when necessary. Refocus. Keep going. Still waiting for the GOP leadership to step up... waiting... waiting...
So... I am back after a extra long weekend. Took Friday off to run errands and rest up. Other than Double Shot on Saturday, I most hung after after Friday night. Plans for E2TG's 6th Anniversary month at The 5 Spot are coming together. More details very soon.
On to the shuffle for a Monday morning. As we always do, we focus on tracks with a Music City connection. Let's go!

Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - Shortnin' Bread Mix

Once again, I am back with another Morning Music Shuffle!
I was a little under the weather - so no shuffle yesterday....
So, here is a recap of some live music I experienced since the last post:
Friday - After venue hopping on Thursday, I decided to stay put in one place (not that there weren't ample opportunities to venue hop), and it was nice because there was so much great music in one spot (Bobby's Idle Hour). Three rounds of three singer-songwriters featuring: Round 1: Joe Nolan, Renee Wahl, and Daryl Dasher; Round 2: Jeremy Nash, Lindsay Ellyn, and Sadie Hart; Round 3: Jeremy Staubus, Lori Kelley, and Lori's sister Michelle Nielson (in town from Iceland).
Saturday - Another one venue night (Douglas Corner) for Charlie Whitten (who has been featured on E2TG), Richie Owens and the Farm Bureau, and Ted Drozdowski's Scissormen.
Two wonderful night's of music with wonderful company at two venerable Nashville institutions.
#ICYMI: The WXNA Radio Show that I am hosting with Sue Havlish, Double Shot with Joe and Sue, has a Facebook Page for you to like. After you "Like" that page (if you want to), it might be a good time to double check to make sure you have liked the Ear to the Ground Facebook page (link up top). Hope to be able to announce the date of our first show, soon.

Hey, I needed to get some "stuff done" today, and I decided to shuffle some music while I got the "stuff done". So, welcome to a rare Saturday shuffle. Limited descriptions - just a ton of cool tunes.
As I mentioned yesterday, E2TG's reigning Artist of the Year was selected by Nashville's Lightning 100 to be their Artist of the Week. As part of that, he played a free show yesterday evening at Soulshine Pizza, and he played one of the best shows I have ever seen him put on. I could not have been more proud.

Rain is falling steadily over Nashville. It's a cool, dreary kind of day. I'm already dreading the long dark winter season.
We have some cool tunes for you this morning to help cope with the dreariness...

Friday Morning Music Shuffle - Fourteen Mix

Well it's Friday! And it seems as if there is much to be celebrated this week (at least that is how I see it). We have covered quite a bit of ground, musically this week, and this week-ending shuffle just pushes us that much further along. Please remember, that my shuffle are truly random. I just decide what is in the playlist, the random shuffle feature picks each days songs. It tends to do a good job of it - even if I sometimes which certain songs/albums would come up sooner...
