Tomorrow night is the kick off of the Magnolia Roads American Roots Hoedown VII.  Night 1 will be at Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge.  Night 2 (Saturday) will be at The 5 Spot.  And Night 3 (Sunday) will be a house show in Oak Hill. 

One of the featured performers on Night 1 at Dee's is an E2TG favorite - David Newbould. 

How people choose to navigate through life’s highs and lows reveals a lot about their personal character, not to mention what they’re willing to do in order to get to the other side of the horizon. Chronicling these seemingly endless cycles of daily peaks and valleys forms the backbone of  Newbould's 2019 album, Sin & Redemption.

Heading into another week.  By the way, the 10th Anniversary of this blog is fast approaching - in May.  I also realized the 10th episode of the Ear to the Ground radio show will happened that same month - so I am planning something special to mark that convergence of events. It is not looking like it may take two weeks.  More to come.  

In the meantime, Ear to the Ground radio can be heard every Tuesday from 6-7am on WXNALP Nashville 101.5FM or wxnafm.org.   To listen to past shows click HERE 

Feature Friday Recap (Pt. 11: Songs 17-26):

17. "Light Shines In" by Conor Gains

First up, we are a track from a new EP/single from this Toronto based singers-songwriter who makes music with a wonderful combination of pop, southern soul and more. 

18. "Deshta (Forever)" by Lisa Gerrard; Jules Maxwell

Next up, we have our second single to feature from Dead Can Dance's Lisa Gerrard and Jules Maxwell.  Great stuff. 

19. "The Way Down" by Van Plating

Next up, we have the new single from Florida based  singer/songwriting and musician Van Plating.  It is the follow-up to the her 2019 album which marked her return to music after a decade off. A strong song, and I look forward to hearing more. 

20. "Balearic" by Are We Static

Next, UK indie band Are We Static with a fantastic new song. 

21. "Palms Casino" by Sam Valdez

Next up, a immense sounding new single from L.A. based Sam Valdez - her full length album Take Care is due out May 7.

22. "Where is the Time?" by My Name is Ian (feat. HMS Morris)

Next up, a new single from Welsh band My Name is Ian - ahead of their new album due in June called Fantastic Company.  Here they team up with an other Welsh band we have featured before- HMS Morris. 

23. "Bridges" by Jason Pilling

We have a wonderful new single from UK singer-songwriter Jason Pilling who is originally from Saskatchewan.

24. "Scallywag" by The Lancasters

Next up, a tasty bit of rock 'n' roll which builds upon the classic traditions - especially on some of the great British bands of past decades. The Lancasters are from Italy, and this  great new single is pretty darn cool.  

25. "Upstate" by Shay Martin Lovette

Some lovely and mysterious country folk from this North Carolina artist who worked with members of MIPSO, Mandolin Orange, and Mount Moriah on his forthcoming Scatter & Gather due out May 14.

26. "Fly Wizard Fly" by Mashup & Cozy Condition

And we close this segment of music with some experimental funk from Richmond, Virginia. A great tune to wind up this segment of our playlist.
