I am back after an unexpectedly long weekend. I was under the weather Friday and so I stayed home.
I did make it out to the 14th Annual Get Behind the Mule: Tom Waits Tribute and Benefit at The 5 Spot on Saturday. As always, it was an incredible event that raised money to support an organization that has been working to combat the issues of hunger in the Middle Tennessee for as long as I can remember. I actually have a 1985 vinyl compilation of local musicians that was done as a benefit for 2nd Harvest.
This year's tribute featured several of my favorite local artists (like Sally Jaye - backed by Brian Wright and Jon Latham - all two E2TG Artists of the Year, and one member of an E2TG Band of the Year), Laura Rabell, Raygun, Tom Mason, Afton Wolfe, Annie McCue, Ned Hill, Anana Kaye, Kevin Gordon and more! What a great night!
Back to the recap of 2019. We still have 114 songs left (after today). You can get a preview of what is still to come on these recaps by visiting the Spotify Playlist I created.
The list today is a good representation of the diversity of music we have been fortunate enough to feature over the course of 2019. Some only made one appearance, and some are from albums that we returned to time and again.
Let' go!
