Whew! I am back! After having my work schedule thrown off for a couple of days, I have been laid up with the yucks for the last few days. Slowly recovering just in time for the madness that is Americana Music Association Festival to begin in Nashville. AMA Fest is like a normal music week in Nashville on steroids. The impossible choices, the conflicts, the mad dashes from venue to venue hoping you don't get shut out... Lots of E2TG and personal favorites are playing official and unofficial and semi-official shows. I will try to sort it all out as best I can, but pretty much - the schedule is one line, AMA even has an app, and you are on your own.
I did manage to catch just one show during my convalescence. On Friday, I felt a little better and wandered over to The Family Wash to catch an awesome triple bill. Ned Hill (of the band Ned Van Go) was backed by Tommy Womack, and it was wonderful. BARK rocked the house and it was great to see them. And Alvin Youngblood Hart's Muscle Theory blew me away. Really great southern, bluesy, music. They were joined by two special guests - Canadian turned Nashvillian Steve Dawson and the always amazing Audley Freed. Two incredible but very different guitar players.
Coolness today - Jon Latham had a new song premiere on Country Fried Rock. And Zach Schmidt had a new song premiere at Bluegrass Situation.
Now, we have a Music City Monday shuffle to get the week off on the right foot...

Good morning - I am back after an extended weekend.
As I reported Thursday morning, Thursday night was one of those impossible choice Nashville nights. I ended up following musicians from gig to gig because I figured that was one way, I could be sure to catch as much as I could without being late for something else.
Thursday Night Recap (since this is my first post since then):
Started out at The Basement East for the inaugural edition of Lightning 100's Thunderground. $3.00 cover, $2.50 PBR pints and tons of cool music. Enjoyed hanging with some fine folks and hearing Don Gallardo and How Far West - who sounded so damn good. Becca Mancari was next, and I really dug her music. There was more awesome music on tap there - including Steelism, but I followed Adam Kurtz over to the American Legion Post 82 for the 3rd ever performance of Buck 'N' Stuff (the premiere Buck Owen's tribute band!). First up at the Legion was Matt Campbell - Troubadour who was backed by the farmer and Adele from The Farmer and Adele. Buck 'N' Stuff did not disappoint - there were flying beer bottles and lots and lots of Buck Owens' covers. After Buck 'N' Stuff wrapped up their set, I followed Buck 'N' Stuff bass player Cameron Carrus to The 5 Spot spot - to wrap up my night with an awesome set from Luella. Luella was backed by Tim Carroll, Toby Caldwell, and Cameron.
I spent the weekend with my daughter, and so I missed the reportedly (and expectedly) excellent Darrin Bradbury, Joey Kneiser, and Austin Lucas show.
Ah.. why cry over missed shows... Onward and upward!
My daughter and I had a an enjoyable afternoon yesterday at Sugar. A Bakery in Leiper's Fork, Tennessee listening to Lindsay Ellyn and Taylor Alexander backed by the Jess Perkins. They play just about every Sunday and mix up classic country covers with their own original music. Great music, great food, and a great atmosphere. Leiper's Fork is located south of Nashville near Franklin. The drive is gorgeous.
It is Monday - where we feature songs associated with or connected to Music City USA.

Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle - I Was Never There Mix

I am reasonable certain that late teens early 20s me did not give a whole lot of thought to what I would be doing 25-30 years later. I'm pretty sure, though, that that kid would be surprised to find out that I was going to ride a bus to Franklin, Tennessee to watch Webb Wilder, Bill Lloyd, Warner Hodges, and Government Cheese, and that I would be able to drink free beer on that bus. Not to mention that the whole show was going to be broadcast to the whole world over something called the Internet. I'm not even sure what part of that would be most surprising... Nevertheless, that is what I will be doing - riding the Blackstone Bus to Music City Roots to see some true living legends who I have been listening to and watching for over half my life. It's gonna be good. http://musiccityroots.com/ - Tune in at 7:00pm Central Time and click the Watch Live button.
