*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.
ICYMI yesterday, we are in the midst of the Fall Pledge Drive for WXNA Nashville. I could go on and on as to WHY you should want to support WXNA (I just did on Facebook), but if you already know you want to make a donation, the HOW of it is really simple. Visit wxnafm.org. The info you need is right on the homepage - including details of the various levels of giving and the related premiums being offered. While at the website, you can livestream the station, check out the schedule and archives, and read more about the things that make WXNA a community resource.

Got to catch Ryan Sobb last night opening for Becca Neighbor (who was fantastic). Sobb playing with his power trio with Preston Cochran (bass) and Chase Ballenger (drums) sound better every time I see them. I am so excited to have them be a part of the E2TG 8th Anniversary Residency on October 2 at The 5 Spot. Jason Erie and his band will also be on the bill that night making it a night you will not want to miss.
Now, it's time to jump back into our "Trending/New Music playlist" I loaded up with more new music last night. I broke my own rule and left the list at slightly more than 500 songs, but I will have it down to 500 by the end of the weekend.
Let's just jump to it!

I had the chance to catch Martin Scorsese's new film Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story last night at the Belcourt - Nashville being one of 10 or 11 cities hosting this one-night only big screen showing. The film debuts on Netflix today. I highly recommend it even if you are casual Bob Dylan fan. It is a remarkable bit of film making and some magical moments captured from the Rolling Thunder Revue tour. I won't say any more, and I recommend against reading too much about the film before you see it.
I will say that members of the theater audience applauded several times following live performances and also laughed out loud on more than one occasion.
Today, I have an opportunity to cover a show at City Winery and to write a review. It has been a minute since I have done a formal live review - so look for that soon.
On to another "Wild Wednesday" shuffle. I think this one lives up to the name...

Today - June 4 marks the 3rd Anniversary of Nashville's independent, community-oriented, listener supported radio station, WXNA, officially hitting the airwaves. It has been a heady three years, and I need to point out that the stations founders worked for five years to make it happen.
Happy Birthday WXNA!
It is Tuesday, and time to dive right into our Trending Tuesday playlist!

If you follow me on Social Media, you will have noticed a lot of memory and anniversary type posts. There have been several anniversaries recently - 5 years since I first met Darrin Bradbury in person, 3 years since I met The Foresters and Jack Nork, 6 years since I met David Hogan, just about 3 years since Double Shot with Joe and Sue began... and I am keenly aware that none of those things would have happened if I had not started E2TG 8 years ago this month.
That so much of my life today would be different - I would say lesser - if I had not (practically on a whim) started writing a music blog in May 2011 - is not lost on me. I am not sure if the world needed another music blog in 2011, and at that time I could not have said with any confidence that even I needed to write a music blog in 2011. Time has proved that I needed to start E2TG. As for what the world needed, I will leave that to the world.
If you are reading this, thank you!
Something I don't say often enough. If you love music, find you best way to support the people who make that music. Buying albums, going to shows, buying merch, telling people about artists or albums they should know about, supporting crowd-funding/pre-orders, and I'm sure there are other ways not in my mind right now. The financial situation in music is dire. People are making money off of music, but by large measure it is not the writers, players, and singers. Rather, it is often people in offices and suits. Streaming is a great technological innovation that allows us (the listened) instant access to more music than we could possibly be able to hear in one lifetime. The ability to create custom playlists and share those - it is awesome. unfortunately, creators see a fraction of the profits derived from the streams.
So support your local and touring independent musicians - in what ever way works for you!

It is Thursday. Two more days this week, and then I am taking a few days off to recharge my batteries.
We have a ton of great new music ready to go and ready to be queued up - so let's try to make some room!

ICYMI - This morning, we premiered the new video from Nashville's Pansexual East Side Queen - Elisabeth Beckwitt. Check out "Free Fall" HERE
We have reached the end of another work week and another week of shuffles.
We have a pretty awesome Featured Friday Shuffle for you today.
A couple of show alerts that I wanted to mention. (And as always in Nashville there is a ton of cool stuff). Tomorrow night seems like a good night to "camp out" at The 5 Spot*. Early show features E2TG favorites Amelia White and Brett Ryan Stewart and Rosemary Stewart. As always, Amelia will be backed by an amazing group of Blue Souvenirs. After that early show, stick around for Harvest Spoon - a Neil Young tribute and benefit to support 5 Spot door man (and Not-So-Steadycam Productions) Jason "Shakes" Hostetler in his mission to deliver Liftware Utensil kits (spoons) to people whose lives are improved by this technology.
An all-star cast of Nashville's best will be on hand.
*actual camping is neither allowed or encouraged at The 5 Spot - I know, I've tried.
