I'm a bit pushed for time... I was going to stay in last night, but after I got some things done for the Fall E2TG Residency, I decided to venture out to $2 Tuesday.
Joseph Bradshaw opened the show. He is a young Nashville based singer-songwriter, and I was very impressed with his songs.
Ohio based The Vindys were next making their Nashville debut. Really good soulful music.
Ben Stalets, also from Ohio, was next. Very entertaining and amusing performance - a great songs.
As always Derek Hoke brought it, backed by his regular rhythm section (Mark Robertson and Steve Latanation) and joined last night by Thayer Serrano on keyboard.
Hoke and Serrano were also part of the last act - called Magenta. It was a thirty minute improv psyche jam that also featured Steven Cooper and Michael Zimmerman among others. A great ending to the night.
Today, Darrin Bradbury announced the release date for his first album on ANTI- Records - it is September 20. He also released the title track - called Talking Dogs and Atom Bombs. I am so excited for Darrin and for the people who will experience his unique vision and voice. Of course, since you read E2TG, you have been in the know for years now.
Onward! We have a Wild Wednesday shuffle that features some new music and some not new music. Let's go!
