Farce: a comic dramatic work using buffoonery and horseplay and typically including crude characterization and ludicrously improbable situations.
I will just leave the definition here... and only add that farce is far more fun to watch than it is to live.
*********************************************************************************
It was really great to drag myself out of my air conditioning to check out Ben de la Cour and Tommy Womack at The 5 Spot last night. Ben de la Cour (who I first discovered through Couch by Couch West) is a relative newcomer to Nashville (well with the rapid influx of people, he maybe not be considered a newcomer) and Tommy Womack is a long-standing member of the Nashville music community. I love it when the best of "old" and "new" Nashville share a bill. As a bonus, I got to hang some with Too Much Country - a fellow music blogger/fan (who also writes about NASCAR and Schaefer Beer.
Tonight, a full-plate. Kristen Englenz and Sean Quinn are at The 5 Spot early along with Lady HD from Philly. I managed to snag a ticket to the Sold Out Oh Boy Records presents The Songs of John Prine at the Basement East. If you didn't get tickets to that event, worry not, Jon Latham and Andrew Leahey are wrapping up their residency at The Family Wash - beginning around 9.
Don't forget Mark Robinson is having his CD Release Party at The 5 Spot on Saturday.
Well... we've sweltered through this hot week and made it to Thursday. We call it Topical Thursday, and of late, that has meant that we delve into the music that has made E2TG what it is over the past six years. We have a great mixed bag today, so let us dig in...

Trending Tuesday Morning Shuffle - Looking at Their Phones Mix

Be sure to "Like" Ear to the Ground on Facebook!
So yesterday, as I worked, I would look out the window and sea picture perfect day while I watched the temperature on my phone rise through the seventies into the low 80s. It was the first day of Spring, and it felt like it. I hustled home and changed into shorts, grabbed a beer, and sat out on my back deck reveling in the sun and just right temperatures. And the the clouds began to roll in, and in less than a hour it was storming. I guess that is Spring, too.
You know, like a lot of people, I have been doing a lot of thinking about the state of the world and this country, and our government. Sometimes, as I react to some new revelation, some new affront to decency, some new outrage... I find myself questioning if I am overreacting. Or perhaps more to the point, I find myself wondering if I am reacting to the right things. As I have said before, I NEVER intended, E2TG to be a forum for my political beliefs. I have always and still believe that this country is made great not by a uniformity of opinions and tenets and beliefs, but by the differences. I believe it is possible that not every belief or philosophy of mine is 100 percent correct 100 percent of the time. Or that the "other side" is 100 percent wrong 100 percent of the time.
So, in the past two months, I have struggled to differentiate the "normal" political issues (some of which are very important) and this new "not normal" world in which we find ourselves. It is a difficult thing to do because the two are often intertwined. The current administration's ties to Russia and white supremacists - their outright lies and attacks on the press... these and more should transcend (D) vs. (R) or virtually any other artificial division.
I don't have a neat wrap up... these are just some things that have been on my mind. ****************************************************************************
On Tuesday - we shuffle up our "New Music" playlist - that is filled with (fairly) recent (including not yet released) music that has come to me by variety of mediums and people. It is today's glimpse at what is "Trending" on E2TG.

Okay - we are back after an extended weekend to celebrate the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., and to think about the fights which are still going on and progress made and miles yet to go...
Since we last were together, I got to take in Crackerboots with my daughter for my birthday. Then Sunday night after his 3rd and Lindsley show was postponed, Darrin Bradbury and friends took over Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge. It was a really great night of music with Jon Latham, Rayvon Pettis, Sally Jaye, Jeremy Ivey, and Mr. Bradbury himself. Darrin's band included Laur Joamets who just 24 hours before had backed Sturgill Simpson on his incredible SNL performance (if you still have not seen that - go look that up NOW and then come back). His guests included Margo Price. It was all in all a typically stellar night of music in Nashville (well Madison).
Let's get to the shuffle - which is a little extended due to a (scheduled) detour I had to make on the way to work. This is a Trending Tuesday shuffle - heavily weighted to Nashville artists (past or present).

Another long, awesome night at The 5 Spot last night. Fats Kaplin and Gang were amazing as always. Guests were Dominic and Rachael Davis. There was music and magic and magical music.
The late show was the Collins Family Christmas Extravaganza which was a fund raiser for the Standing Rock protesters. Christmas music and good times that ranged from the sacred to the slightly deranged. My kind of night.
Reminder: Saturday is the Get Behind the Mule Benefit and Tom Waits Tribute at The 5 Spot. I probably screwed up the name, but you know... Tons of cool people and a good time will be had by all - I expect.
By the way, SHEL, who I mentioned are headlining Nashville Sunday Night at
3rd and Lindsley (with Don Gallardo opening) were at The 5 Spot last night for Fats Kaplin.
Earie update:
So here is the rundown. Before this post, I have awarded 20 Earie Awards in 2017. Some of the winners show up in this shuffle and we have a couple more to award... Let's do it...

Music is good for whatever ails you... that has been my philosophy for some time now. In recent years, I have been fortunate enough to be able to add "and the community around it" after the word music in that philosophy. Last night, once again, that I idea was reinforced.
Between my vacation and other things, it had been about two weeks since I set foot in my favorite East Nashville hang, The 5 Spot. Although, there was a part of my that wanted to stay in - I am very glad that I went out. I ended up being there for over six hours and heard a ton of amazing music beginning with Wild Ponies just after six o'clock and ending with Tommy Womack just after midnight. In between, I heard and saw, Amy Speace, Stelle Amor, and Andrew Adkins. The early show was Wild Ponies and Speace - and billed as a Happy Hour of Healing. Which is was in the most uplifting and amazing way possible. It was especially healing to be able to hang out with lovely, compassionate, passionate people who were hurting in the same way that I was (and am).
Musical highlights included Wild Ponies being awesome as always - loved their song "Love is Not a Sin" and their cover of Katy Perry's "Roar", Amy Speace's cover of The Waterboys' "Strange Boat" and her set ending sing-a-long of "This Land is Your Land" (all of the verses) which featured Speace, Megan Palmer, Allen Thompson, Julie Christensen, Amelia White, Stacie Huckaba, Kira Small and more. I dug Stelle Amor's relentless joyful soul music, it was great seeing Andrew Adkins with a full band - doing several tracks from his Glass Castles album which we have been featuring on here. Tommy Womack was joined by his son Nathan and the awesome rhythm section of Daniel Seymour and Pete Pulkrabek. He opened with "Like a Rolling Stone" and ended with "A Cockroach After the Bomb" - and in between played some of his incredible songs like "Alpha Male and the Canine Mystery Blood", "Nice Day", and the Government Cheese songs, "C'mon Back to Bowling Green".
Onward, tomorrow I am off work - so likely there will not be a shuffle. Partially for that reason and partially because I have not yet created a Throwback Thursday Playlist on my new phone yet, I decided to shuffle today from the "New Music" playlist. Let's go!

This has been a pretty rough week, to be honest... I haven't been feeling particularly wonderful, but it is Friday, and for right now, I am feeling pretty okay.
Last night was one of those nights that really make me glad to live in Nashville. Zach Schmidt, who is one of the best people I know and a great songwriter/artist, too, held his CD Release party at imogene + willie over in 12th South. It was a wonderful, candlelit backyard party. A great atmosphere and an amazing line-up of performers including: Hugh Masterson, Becca Mancari, Jon Latham, Charlie Whitten, Joshua Black Wilkins, Brian Wright, Aaron Lee Tasjan, and more. Schmidt closed the evening with a full-band set. His album, The Day We Lost the War is out, and worthy of attention.
Another album that is out (as of today) is Aaron Lee Tasjan's Silver Tears. Tasjan who has been on an unstoppable upward trajectory since I became aware of his music may have just hit the hyper-drive. To celebrate the new album, he is, as I write this, conducting bus tour #12barblues and making stops (and performances) at 12 venues in and around Nashville. It all culminates tonight at 3rd and Lindsley. Brian Wright opens tonight's show and joins Tasjan on stage.
If all goes as planned, there will likely be no shuffles next week, but look for some posts from the highways...
By the way, not that I pay attention to things like this, but... as I am writing this, E2TG is 17 page views away from October 2016 being the highest page view month ever. Thanks for everyone who is reading.

Time keeps marching on... I took a couple of concrete steps toward my little getaway I am planning for next week.
Prerecorded another "Double Shot" show last night - it is a good one and will air on November 5.
Slowly but surely getting over the bug I had over the weekend.
Last week, I stacked up all of the new CDs that I have received in 2016 for E2TG, it's a big stack and I've received two more since then, plus it doesn't include all of the music I received on download. It's getting really close to the end of the year, and the 2nd Annual "Earie" Awards... there I said it. I definitely have some pondering and relistening to do.
It is Tuesday, and that is when we see what the old shuffle function says is "Trending" on E2TG.

Let's recap last night in live music (or at least the part I took in): The Mark Robinson Showband Residency got off to a stellar start. Mark Robinson is truly one of my favorite performers to see live. He delivers every single time. Guests Ted Drozdowski, Richie Owens, and Nick Kane were amazing, and when all four took the stage together, I thought the stage was either going to levitate or explode from all of the great guitar. I even added assistant guitar tech to my resume. Okay, all I did was hold a light for Richie Owens, but who doesn't embellish on resumes?
After the show ended, a group of us headed a few blocks over to The Basement East for the Louisiana Flood Benefit. Lot's of awesome Louisiana music performed by an extraordinary line-up of musicians. Kevin Griffin of Better Than Ezra was the first act I saw (I missed the first act of the night). Better Than Ezra (the long-running New Orleans band has a foundation that does tons of amazing things in the Pelican State. All proceeds from last night's show went to that foundation to be earmarked for flood relief. Details about the foundation can be found here. Chuck Mead lead an all-star band (including Fats Kaplin on accordion) including the Cajun music standards "Diggy Liggy Lo" and "Joli Blon" plus the "faux" but essential Cajun song by Hank Williams "Jambalaya". Next, the phenomenal Will Kimbrough who as then joined by Emmylou Harris!!!!! Emmylou sounded soooo good. Next up was Robyn Hitchcock and Emma Swift. I've been seeing Robyn around the neighborhood a bunch recently (which feels really weird to say), but this was the first time I have seen him perform in a while. Fantastic stuff! Next up Chase McGillis with a band billed as The Mini Meters. Doing Meters covers which had everyone moving. Patrick Sweany was up next, and he was as incredible as always. He brought up Kevin Gordon for a couple of songs and then gave up the stage for Gordon and his band to close out the night in fine style. The vibe and the people and the music were all incredible and made for a magical night.
It is Friday!!!!!! Tonight, Tim Easton is celebrating the release of his new album American Fork with an outdoor show at Fond Object (6:00pm). The weather is about perfect. Ariel Bui and Erin Rae and the Meanwhiles open the night.

Wow, we've reached the last day of August. We are approaching Labor Day weekend in the USA. Here in Nashville, the live music possibilities for the coming days is mind-blowing and overwhelming. Bottom line, get out and see some live music. For tonight, my eye is on The 5 Spot for the Grand Finale of David Olney's 4 out of 5 Wednesday Residency. Recommended if you want to hear one of the best songwriters this town (known for songwriters) has ever seen. A man praised by his peers who have included Townes Van Zandt, Rodney Crowell, and more. Also, recommended if you want to hear top rated musicians and the occasional burst of dramatic poetry.
After David Olney, I will be sticking around for a late show line-up that includes Jon Latham, Don Gallardo, and Stuffy Shmitt. Birmingham's The Burning Peppermints open the night.
And the great music continues throughout the rest of the week and weekend.
Now, it is Wednesday. After slogging through the first two days of the work week, we reach mid-week and feel the need to get "Wild"!

It is almost September, and I am starting to get anxiety about all of the great music at Americana Fest that I will have to miss (because I am just one man without the ability to manipulate time and distances). Truth is, though, I am still have a lot of weekly anxiety over the same issue. Truth is, though, it is a pretty rad problem to have. Truth is, though, I have other things I could (and maybe should) be worrying about, but this problem is more pleasant to deal with.
Let's see what the old shuffle has brewing for this Tuesday morning....
