Diving into another week... 

Featured Friday Playlist recap (part 2) (songs 10-13):

10. "Choppy Waters" by Dust Monk

First up, we have the second single from this UK-based electronic music duo - whose sound on this track ventures into alternative rock territory in a cool way. 

11. "Get Arrested" by Criag Walker and The Cold

We recently featured the song "Auslander" by the Irish band Power of Dreams.  That band is built around the songwriter of Craig Walker. Here Walker teams up with Canadian producer - The Cold (aka Erik Alcock) and this is their debut single.

12. "Glorious" by The Kondoors

The Kondoors return to the E2TG playlist with their summery single. The Kondoors are Gavin Condor and Jessica Greenfield (Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds). 

13. "Suddenly" by Janet LaBelle

And, we close this section of music with title track from the 6th Release from NYC based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Janet LaBelle.

E2TG 3/01/2021 - Music City Monday and More - Signals Mix (Big Sleep Remix)

Time marches on (pun intended and sorry about that).  It is March which means we are rapidly approaching the one year anniversary of the Nashville tornado and the lockdowns. All of that seems so long ago now - like a lifetime ago. I am happy to see Nashville's COVID statistics improving and the vaccine rollout starting to pick-up steam. There still seems to be a lot of confusion, inequities, and inconsistencies.. but at least progress is being made. I worry about subsequent spikes as precautions are laxed, but I hope that concern ends up being unfounded. 

There is still much division and uncertainty and strife in the world, but I feel more hopeful now. I also have to acknowledge that I am exhausted. But, I know the need to remain active and diligent continues. I also know that the fact that it is a choice for me is a function of privilege. 

All that is on my mind on a kind of dreary first day of March. 

Our Featured Friday Playlist Recap continues on with songs 11-16:

11. "Annie" by Becca Mancari

The first single from the forthcoming EP (Juniata - March 19) by this Nashville based singer-songwriter. 

12. "Sin City" by The Barefoot Movement

A nifty cover of the Gram Parsons/Chris Hillman song by the Nashville band that is quickly becoming an E2TG favorite.

13. "Anchor" by John Keathley

Next up, we have the fantastic new single from this Nashville based singer-songwriter. The track was produced by our old friend Josh Waters of the Rock and Roll Basement.  

14. "Witchpunkrockstar - Heavy Mental Mix" by My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult

Abruptly, up next we have a track from the newly released compilation of previously unreleased remixes from the gothic rock legends. The Chicago band began in 1987. These remixes are by band member Buzz McCoy. 

15. "Hold You Tonight" by Stephen Flatt

Next up, we have the lead single from the forthcoming (April 16) debut album (Cumberland Bones) from Nashville based singer-songwriter and great-nephew of Lester Flatt. A really wonderful song. 

16. "Numb" by NT 

And we close with the debut single from this Bay area artist with diverse influences and fresh vision of quality modern pop music.  A great way to close out this segment of music.

Happy Monday!  It is another week and another month here at E2TG. I hope you will check out and follow our Featured Friday Playlist.  A new list will be up every Friday. Thank you to everyone who has followed us so far. 

I am excited to announce that I will have something exciting to announce very soon.  It involves me and Nashville music, and that is all I am liberty to disclose at this time. Was that vague enough?  Nevertheless, it is exciting. 

Quiet weekend, but I managed to see some world-class music.  Tim Carroll, Fats Kaplin and Kristi Rose and the gang, and Mike Cullison and the Lucky Dogs. 

I've been getting some computer stuff set up at home so I have been slow to get new content posted, but it will come. 

Let's see.  Daniel Seymour and Mark Robinson are hosting Madison Guild Monday at Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge tonight.   Their guests include E2TG favorite Tiffany Huggins Grant. Should  be a nice Monday hang with great music.
