Well, I finally ventured out of the house last night - to Dee's in Madison. Caught most of the last hour of The One and Only Bill Davis doing his always fun weekly set.
Later, one of my favorite local songwriters Joanna Barbera took the stage playing with a new violin player. Then, she was joined by Dee's co-owner Daniel Walker for a wonderful version of Tom Petty's "Breakdown". Walker did a short set of his own songs. Daniel Walker was followed by E2TG's #1 Most Tagged Artist Ever - Darrin Bradbury. Bradbury's set included some songs from his forthcoming new album - including one that is being covered by Joe Pug!, a brand new song, and some older songs - like "Denim-clad Acid Wash Man" "Swordfish", and even a version of the Big Wilson River song "80 Dead Armadillos". Big Wilson River was Bradbury's band back in New Jersey - and also my (and E2TG's) first exposure to his music. In fact, our crack research department found that "80 Dead Armadillos" was the first Darrin Bradbury/Big Wilson River song featured here - back in July of 2012.
In addition to the great music, I had a cool front porch hang - met some new people, met an on-line friend for the first time, and talked music and life, and I got to hang with a cool, cute dog that belongs to Brad of This Frontier Needs Heroes.
Not bad for a Wednesday night in Madison.
I added a bunch of new music - including some really cool stuff by some legendary UK rockers - one of the new songs showed up today - more will follow soon!
Let's shuffle up our "New Music" playlist and see what is "Trending" on E2TG.
