A night at The 5 Spot - Anna Lindsay Sellers hosted a night - she played some of her lovely songs solo acoustic, followed by a great set from The Truehearts (they will be playing the E2TG Residency - back at The 5 Spot on October 9!), next was an acoustic set (sand drummer) from The Big Dumb - they will be playing (a more plugged-in set) during the 5th week on the E2TG Residency (which I am announcing now) on October 23 along with another local band which is still being confirmed!

The late featured The Lucky Dogs - led by Mike Cullison - and they were then joined by a powerhouse guitarist from Italy named Federico Baracchino.

Now - this week is winding down, so we are going to close it out with a Featured Friday shuffle!  Let's go!

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!

On we go.  As you know, if you read E2TG on any sort of regular basis, I make a concerted effort not to be a (fill in the blank) music blog.  While, I frequently feature singer-songwriter/folk/Americana style music - I regularly cover about every kind of genre imaginable and few you might not have imagined. My rule is if I like it, I write about, and I have a diverse pallet of music I like.

Anyway, I think this Trending Tuesday shuffle is bear that out.

A fun night out.  First up, the EP release show for Megan Palmer and Rayvon Pettis.   Ryan Sobb opened the show with a solo set followed by Mercy Bell performing with Trace Faulkner.

Next up was Rayvon and Megan backed by a killer band: Griffin Winton, Bob Lewis, Jonathan Beam, and Aaron Shafer-Haiss.  They performed the seven songs from the EP - 3 written by Rayvon and 3 written by Megan - plus an R.E.M. cover.  Then they played a couple more songs, Rayvon Pettis' excellent Michigan Mansions and one of my all-time favorite songs, Megan Palmer's Knife Twister. 

After that, I headed to the Inglewood Lounge.  I am not sure why I took me so long to get to this cool spot right on Gallatin Rd.  Last night, it was Luella and Kevin Gordon playing duo style.  It was my second time seeing them in this format, and it was fantastic.

Okay - only six songs in the shuffle today - thanks in part of a relatively pain-free commute and an eight minute song.  Let's get to it!
