We are back. I was a little under the weather yesterday, so no Music City Monday shuffle...
Today, we dig back into the Trending/New Music playlist.
It's a good one, so let's dig right in...

Nashville is changing rapidly. It has been for several years now. Cool old places are closing down and being replaced which much less cool places or being abandoned altogether. It can be disheartening sometimes.
My roots here are deep, and I am not leaving anytime soon. So, what am I to do?
Fortunately, I am still reminded on a regular basis that Nashville is a great city for original, independent live music. Take last night, I headed to Dee's in Madison - caught the tail-end of some fine world-class bluegrass (which happens every Monday), and then caught some awesome songwriters for this weeks edition of the Madison Guild Monday.
Hosted by Ryan Sobb, the night featured E2TG Artist of the Year (2017), Rayvon Pettis, the always amazing Jeremy Ivey, Bob Lewis and Megan Palmer - trading songs and backing each other, the wonderful Tommy Womack and Lisa Oliver Gray, Rayvon's talented sister Grace Pettis (filling in for the ailing Anna Joy Harris), and then Ryan Sobb. Sobb's songs are witty and heartfelt - he is one of my favorite writers these days. Then, Ryan did a stunning cover of Tommy Womack's epic, classic "Alpha Male and the Canine Mystery Blood" - which knocked my socks off.
This was what Monday nights can look like in the Nashville area - if you know where to look.

Any show that starts with a former E2TG Artist of the Year followed by the reigning E2TG Band of the Year - sure has something going for it. I ended up at The 5 Spot (I know! It's shocking!) for the late show last night. Darrin Bradbury kicked things off. It was one of his best solo sets (that I have seen). Many of his newest songs are emotionally powerful - continuing to walk that line of humor and brutal honestly (brutal but delivered with heart and charm). The Big Dumb were up next, and I continue to be blown away by this band. In my view they somehow manage to be a tight unit while still be incredibly loose. They are all multi-talented artists, and something magical happens when they come together. Chicago band Half Gringa were next. This was my first time seeing them, and I was very impressed. I really dug their set. Ryan Sobb closed the night with a full-band set. It was my first time seeing Sobb with a band, and it was great hearing his wonderful songs - fleshed out. It was a high energy rocking set of music.
Whew! We have to get going! It's Thursday - time to head back to the Trending playlist. Interestingly, this same playlist on Tuesday brought up a mix that was heavily weighted toward experimental and/or noisy music. Today, we get more roots, singer-songwriter type songs. It's all good. Let's go!

I'm back. I took an unexpected sick day off work yesterday. This extreme weather is getting the best of me, but we are in the midst of a couple of days of sunshine, and I feel much better. So onward.
Let's dive right into our Trending Tuesday shuffle.
