Time is moving on!  I started planning out my radio shows and realized the holidays will be here before we know it.  Nothing like planning ahead to make time seem to go ever faster. 

I have also started reviewing 2021 for a recap show of some kind of the Ear to the Ground radio show.  This has been such a wild year, I was surprised that some of the music from the beginning of this year wasn't from a previous year. 

Tomorrow, I will be back on the air with another Greetings from Nashville show.  6am on WXNA 101.5 FM or wxnafm.org 

Today's shuffle is below....

E2TG 2019 Recap - Part 7 - Potholes Mix (Murder of Crows Remix)

Back at it today.  I am sad to report that my father passed away over the weekend, and that has kept me away for a few days.

As always, music is a great solace. We likely won't get through the whole #2019Faves playlist before the end of the year, but you know what - there is no rule that says a end of the year recap needs to be complete before the end of the year.  So, we will just move forward and see where things take us.

  *Note: The video playlist at the bottom of the post attempts to closely approximate the shuffle I listened to on my way to work this morning. When a video for a song was not available, I substituted another song by the same artist. When I could not find any videos by an artist, I included a related video or did not include a video for that track. This blog may reference unreleased tracks, however, no unreleased music is ever included.


AMA Day 3 is in the books.  After working all day, I had some evening shows I really wanted to catch, but I was really tired so I headed home for dinner and a change of close before heading to Mercy Lounge to catch Jeremy Ivey, Christopher Paul Stelling, and Darrin Bradbury at the ANTI- Records showcase. I caught parts of other sets and then made it close to see Aaron Lee Tasjan close out the evening at the Cannery Ballroom. Great sets all around. 

Fun Fact: Christopher Paul Stelling was a Featured Artist on E2TG back in November of 2012! 

You all know the long connection we have to Darrin Bradbury. 

I have become a huge Jeremy Ivey fan Darrin first introduced me to his songs. His debut album on ANTI- came out today.  Darrin's album will be out next Friday. Stelling has an album coming out produced by Ben Harper - with some singles already released.

As for ALT, he gave me a much needed shot of positive energy.

Tonight, I will be representing WXNA and emceeing at the Mercy Lounge all night. A great line-up that includes three towering figures from my formative musical years: Mitch Easter, Don Dixon, and Chris Stamey.

On with the shuffle now!

Americana Fest week Day 2:   Caught the Broken Jukebox Media Showcase at The 5 Spot - saw Chuck Hawthorne, (E2TG Artist of the Year) Ben de la Cour, Eric Brace, Rod Picott, The Truehearts, and Meghan Hayes (all who have been featured on E2TG) plus Libby Koch and Terry Klein (who soon will be featured).  Fun evening.  Be sure to catch The Truehearts and Meghan Hayes on Week 3 and 4 of the E2TG Residency (respectively).

After that I headed to Dee's to catch some great music from Daniel Walker, Jaime Harris, Chris Moyse, Nick Nace, and Jon Latham - a really fun night - with lots of cool people in the crowd.  I am pretty exhausted.  Just three more official nights of AMA to go, and only a day and a half of work left.

Tonight Darrin Bradbury will be playing at Mercy Lounge as part of the ANTI Records showcase. 

On with the shuffle!

I really was going to stay in last night to try to finish recovering from Muddy Roots, but then I saw the line-up at $2 Tuesday....   Solo sets from two of Nashville's best songwriters - Ryan Sobb* and Nick Nace.  Plus Derek Hoke with Laur Joamets sitting in along with Derek's usual band of Steve Latanation and Mark Robertson.  And closing out the night was the all-star BiPolar Bear - led by Laur Joamets.

*Don't forget to make your plans to see Ryan Sobb with a  full band during Week 2 of the E2TG Fall Residency along with the always wonderful Don Gallardo and How Far West!!!!!

Anyway - let's get rolling.  It is Wednesday - when we usually do Wild Wednesday (and that is what I am calling this shuffle) but this week - we are going to stay in the "New Music" playlist since we were off last week.  Let's go!

Fun show at The Basement last night. Nashville's Sad Baxter opened - we have featured them several times on Music City Monday. 

Followed by Summer Cannibals from Portland, Oregon - led by my cousin Jessica Boudreaux. 

Both high energy, rocking sets.

Well, this is it!  Last shuffle before I take a bit of break.  Look for a post on Monday (if all goes as expected). 

Next weekend, I am off to Muddy Roots and hope to have some cool stuff to share about that experience.

Now, here is a Featured Friday shuffle to close things out!

We are back!  A ton of new music already added to get to and a ton of new music not yet added.  Things are heating up around here with Muddy Roots coming at the end of this month and Americana Fest coming next month, and then the E2TG Fall Residency.  Whew!  All I can say is strap yourself in and enjoy the ride, I know I will!

Now to the shuffle!

On we go.  As you know, if you read E2TG on any sort of regular basis, I make a concerted effort not to be a (fill in the blank) music blog.  While, I frequently feature singer-songwriter/folk/Americana style music - I regularly cover about every kind of genre imaginable and few you might not have imagined. My rule is if I like it, I write about, and I have a diverse pallet of music I like.

Anyway, I think this Trending Tuesday shuffle is bear that out.
