Well, Nashville has had more than its share of rain the past few days. I got a pretty good soaking walking back to my car yesterday.
Another incredible residency show started last night at The 5 Spot. Rod Picott began his month-long series with Jon Byrd opening. Both singer-songwriters were backed by an incredible band: Sergio Webb, Tim Blankenship, and Duane Blevins. A really amazing show for $5 that could get you home before 9:00pm. I would love to see Nashville/East Nashville showing a lot more support for these early shows.
Anyway, I didn't make it home before 9:00pm, because I hung around for the late show which was the monthly Songs Not Silence benefit for Thistle Farms (which is an incredible organization), and which featured a lot of awesome music. I was happy to get to see Nellie Clay perform before she heads out on a series of out-of-town gigs. Also good to get to see Megan Palmer play before she takes some time off to take care of some medical issues. By the way, today is Megan's birthday! So, Happy Birthday Megan!
Well, this short work week has been kind of weird, but it is Thursday and so we push forward with some throwback tunes and noise and stuff...
