Well, we sure do live in interesting times. Interesting is an interesting word. It can be positive, negative, or neutral... or even ironically. Time will tell, how "interesting" these times are, but from this up-close perspective, it sure is interesting. #Comey #DumpTrump #Resist #Persist
******************************************************************************
So, last month, as you may know, E2TG turned six years old. It has been quite a ride to be sure. To celebrate, I created a 450 song "retrospective" playlist of music that have been featured in some way on this blog. That is basically 450 different artist - with allowances that some may be crossovers (solo acts vs. bands they were in/ people in two or more bands etc.) It has been fun revisiting all of the great music. I have lost touch with some of these fine folks and in some cases, I cannot find updated information, but they were all a part of getting me to this point, and while I am not entirely sure that I know where "this point" is, I do know that a whole bunch of good stuff is happening and has happened because I started writing this blog. My point being that every step along the way was important, and I am grateful of ALL of the awesome music I have encountered. Today's shuffle spans the six years pretty effectively - picks up on some rare cuts from the past, and well - rocks. In many cases, I could not find a video of the particular song today, but I think I got at least something to represent each artist.
Let's shuffle!

There is a buzz of activity in the Ear to the Ground offices, but I wanted to take the time to try to help spread the word about a couple of things:
A pair of great Nashville musicians/songwriters have recently suffered some pretty serious injuries which could keep them out of commission for an extended period. For anyone, this would be bad, but for a professional musician this can be devastating. In both cases, friends and fans are joining forces to help.
Allen Thompson of the Allen Thompson Band suffered a serious injury to his vertebrae. You can help out and find out more by clicking here.
Singer-songwriter Tommy Womack (Daddy, Government Cheese) was seriously injured in an automobile accident late last week. You can help him by clicking here.
In better news, Darrin Bradbury just dropped his latest EP, The Story of Bob. I'll have more on this later, but check it out here.
Finally, I have been busy on the No Depression front with several live reviews, an album review - and much more on the horizon. I don't cross post everything, so if you want to keep up with adventures over there. Here is the link to my Contributions at NoDepression.com.
Now to the shuffle of the day:

Got to meet Alex Giorgetti of the long time #E2TG favorite The Gypsy West. He was in town with his girlfriend Laura. I always like meeting the people I write about in real life. Word has it there could be some new music from The Gypsy West later this year. Cannot wait!
Saturday, I got to hang out and hear some music from Patrick Kinsley who is getting set to release the first single from his forthcoming album. I am super stoked for the new album and the first single "Back in Illinois" name drops Ear to the Ground - which I am going to just assume is intentional tribute... Don't try to correct me on this!
Last night was another fine Eastside Invasion at Bobby's Idle Hour. All of the performances were fantastic. Taylor Alexander, James Tomberlin, Vanessa Darian and Steven Cooper (Van Darien), Joe Nolan, and Luella and Some Fella (Tim Carroll) filling in for Darrin Bradbury. and more...
Now, it is Monday - a grey, drizzly morning - not feeling 100% - pushing through because it is what I do... Music motivates in it's own way... shuffle up!

It's just Wednesday, isn't it? Here is the run down of artists I have seen live since Sunday:
Sunday Night (Mad Donna's Loft): Allen Thompson, Darrin Bradbury, and the legendary Don Schlitz.
Monday Night (Basement East): Darrin Bradbury, Erin Rae, and Kelsey Waldon and her band
Tuesday Night (Bluebird Cafe): a round with David Olney, Will Kimbrough, Brock Zeman, and Samantha Crain.
Being Nashville, the list of artists who play around town that I did not see is equally impressive. And the week goes on....

Had a great night of music last night. Saw legendary songwriter Don Schlitz again at The 5 Spot (he has just one more week in his residency - if you are in Nashville and have not seen this show yet, I highly recommend it). Then, I headed over to the City Winery - Nashville. It was my first time in the big room, and I was impressed. Saw Brian Wright and Liz Longley - a pair of very different, but both amazing songwriters/singers. My review of their show is posted to No Depression.
