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!

Here are the Facebook event  links to all three nights of the Hoedown

It is Friday, and that means a brand new Featured Friday Playlist.  Please check it out, and if you like give it a follow.  As always, I encourage you to support musicians, songwriters, and independent labels whenever and however you are able. 

We highlight the first ten songs of the Playlist below, but the whole playlist is an interesting mix of a lot of different styles of music.  

Many of these songs will be featured on next Tuesday's Ear to the Ground radio show.

A new Friday brings a new Featured Friday Playlist.  Please check it out. This is also Bandcamp Friday - so if you discover some new (or old) music on Spotify, it is a good day to see if it is available on Bandcamp and throw some love that way. 

This week's playlist features the usual mix of old favorites and new (to us) artists. Plus, a couple of new projects from some old favorites. 

If you are in Nashville, it is a good weekend for tributes - Dee's has an epic Gram Parsons tribute tonight, and tomorrow night is the annual Last Waltz benefit at The Beast with many E2TG favorites taking part.

We reached the end of another week, and that means a new Featured Friday Playlist. A bit on the short side this week as I have not had a lot of time to dig into my submissions.  The list, though short, is packed full of great music. Enjoy and as always support your favorite independent artists.

Some highly anticipated, high profile (at least in the E2TG world - I don't know much about the other worlds) releases this week.  As Darrin Bradbury approaches his 100th time being tagged on E2TG. 

You know the drill - follow our Playlist on Spotify AND support the artist in more direct and meaningful ways as well.

We head into the holiday weekend with a brand new Featured Friday Playlist.  This week's list is considerably shorter than last week (just over half as long) but it is jam packed with great music from old friends and favorites and new favorites (and hopefully some new friends). As always, if you are so inclined, you can follow the Featured Friday Playlist on Spotify.

The usual disclaimers apply:  1. Support the artists you love financially to the extent you are able. 2. Our list should not be considered a ranking of any kind. There is always a combination of intention and randomness in how the songs are ordered on our playlist. 

Also, I'll add a new one - if you discover a "new to you" artist through E2TG and our Featured Friday Playlist- let us know. 

The first 13 songs are recapped below - we will recap the remaining songs next week (we are off on Monday).

Time for another Featured Friday Playlist.  This is a fairly large list - thanks to taking a week off... But, we have a ton of great music spread throughout the whole playlist - so please check out the full list on Spotify (below) and give us a follow if you are so inclined. 

It is also Bandcamp Friday - so be sure to support your favorite independent artists by buying music and merch from them - Bandcamp is waiving all revenue sharing - so your money goes directly to the artists you love. 

We have a bunch of music to get to and time is short - so let's dive right in...
