Got some new music added to my phone, added some releases to the Release Calendar below, and I got to listen to some submissions last night.  Man, there is some incredible new music out or coming out soon.  Keep listening.  Some E2TG Favorites with new music out or coming soon: Richie Owens and the Farm Bureau, Tate & Silas, Ugggy, Tom Schreck and more. 

Well, the Tennessee Governor is going to end his Safer at Home order effective May 1, however, in Nashville it will be extended a bit. I am now working from home until at least May 1. As much as I want life to return to normal, I am not in a hurry. From what I have seen, we are not yet ready and a premature re-opening will likely result in a spike in cases and deaths.  I sincerely hope I am wrong.

I hope everyone - no matter what your state or federal government says will do what you can to stay safe. If you are reading this, you are important to me.

I know I am among the lucky ones, and I am starting to dive into some creativity.

Anyway, we have a nifty little shuffle today, so check it out below!

Trending Thursday Morning Shuffle - No Money Mix

I am a firm believer that artists of all kinds are as important as ever in these divisive and contentious times. We need people who speak truth to power without compromise.  It is unfortunate that this is also a time when artists work has been effective devalued to one of its lowest points. This last is a much larger discussion than I have time to get into.

There was some major (and disturbing news) involving a music artist that broke yesterday.  Also, today is Valentine's Day.  I am not going to comment on either at this time.


Micah Schnabel's songs speak truth even when that truth is hard. As much as I love Two Cow Garage  (and I do), it is in a solo setting, where his music always hits me the hardest.  He opened the early show at The 5 Spot in fine form.  Jon Latham was next.  His songs hold equal power often on an emotional level - like "Braver Man" or "Conversation at a Funeral" both of which he sang last night. He did perform two new songs - one of the songs delves into the current political climate.  Latham closed his set doing an intense Two Cow Garage song joined by Schnabel.  Lauren Farrah closed the night.  Farrah is an East Nashville fixture - unless I am mistaken this was my first time seeing her do a full set with a full band - and what a band it was....  Tim Jones, Griffin Winton, Chase McGillis.  There is a reason that Lauren Farrah is generating a lot of buzz.

It's Thursday!  Let's jump into the shuffle.

Wild Wednesday Morning Shuffle - Wherefore Art Thou? Mix

I am sometimes asked (not really, I just wanted to tell you) why "Wild Wednesday"?  Well, to my way of thinking, we've made it this far through the week and that is worth celebrating. So, on Wednesday, we open up and shuffle music from all the songs saved to my phone. The songs on my phone include current and previous featured music, songs from legacy E2TG favorites, other music from my personal collection, and random music files that came my way but didn't meet the criteria to be featured music.  The shuffle always ends up being a lot of fun and usually a little wild.  The "wild" in wild Wednesday, however, is a reference to a "wildcard" in that this shuffle be anything.

Let's jump right into the shuffle!
