I've decided to tell you a bit more about Buck 'N Stuff because, well, Buck 'N Stuff. First of all, they do not have any recorded music yet, but there is some live performance documentation in the form of videos. Including this one:
About the band: Members: Bass: Buck 'N Stuff Bass Player - has been known to play a giant fiddle (but not with Buck 'N Stuff) and is alleged to have once overheard two junkies talking through a motel wall in New Orleans. Drums: Buck 'N Stuff Drummer - is a strict adherent to Maritime Law and is rumored to be a Cat Lover. Guitar/Vocals: Buck 'N Stuff Guitarist/Singer - when not playing in Buck 'N Stuff usually can be found sitting behind a twangy table (pro-tip: Do not place drinks on the Twangy Table- word has it that Twangy Table players are kind of sensitive about this). Also does instructional videos about how to properly prepare chicken wings.
Tonight - I will be at Tim Carroll Rock 'N Roll Happy Hour at the world famous The 5 Spot, and then heading to The Beast for a tribute show to both Nebraska and Nashville Skyline featuring a whole bunch of really cool people - many of whom have been played on or featured by E2TG.
Tying all of this together as only E2TG can, today is release day for "How We Lost the War" by Zach Schmidt. This is one you really need to check out. Schmidt made his Music Roots debut on Wednesday. He is one of the folks for which the Buck 'N Stuff Guitarist/Singer sometimes plays Twangy Table. And, he will be singing at the tribute show tonight. See how I did that?
It is Friday - we have some featured songs in the shuffle:

Happy Thursday... sending good thoughts to everyone in the path of Hurricane Matthew. And especially thinking about those who have lost life and property in the Caribbean.
Congratulations to WXNA-LP Nashville for finishing second to Lightning 100 in the Nashville Scene Readers Poll for Best Radio Station. A remarkable achievement for a low power station that has only been on the air for 4 month. Super proud to play a small part in the station, but props go out to our super hard working and dedicated Board and our fearless leader Heather Lose. This achievement is a testament to the impact the station has already had on the community.
Well, the Buck N Stuff show was the epic throw down that I expected. My favorite moment was the Buck Owens cover that they performed. #BuckNStuff are the absolute best. They announced last night that they will be playing The 5 Spot for New Years Eve. Make your plans now. 2017 is sure to be the Year of Buck N Stuff.
It is Thursday when we throw things back, and I think we have a really awesome shuffle today... shall we?

Well, I am back after an extended weekend - some much needed time with my daughter.
Let's see... so Lady Gaga is keeping it real by playing a "dive bar" tour which tonight will be my favorite joint - The 5 Spot. And by keeping it real, I mean shutting the place down for two nights, barricading streets, buses, trucks, (and from what I hear) a ton of gear to play two songs tonight. Cool, cool..
Anyway, I will be across the river at The Basement for the fourth ever show by Buck N Stuff. Regular readers will recall that Buck N Stuff is THE best Buck Owens tribute band that I have ever seen. Okay, they are the only Buck Owens tribute band I have ever seen, but I'd be willing to bet that if I had seen others, they would still be the best. Breathing new life into Buck's great songs, it is sure to be a wild, fun, totally awesome experience. 8:30pm. My prediction: Buck N Stuff will melt faces, reassemble faces from the melted remains, and then melt faces once again.
Now, it is Wednesday and we are about to get "Wild"

Well, yesterday I wrote about the finale of Mark Robinson's Showband and Rhythm Revue Residency at The 5 Spot. Well, the show certainly lived up to my expectations (and then some!). Master levels musicianship, world-class vocalists, and Mark Robinson - who is a consummate bandleader. Such a fun night.
Well, this week has kind of flown by in a hurry... it is Friday and time for Featured Friday on E2TG.

Welcome back to E2TG! So, last night Amelia White wrapped up her month-long residency at The 5 Spot. As special guest Reckless Johnny Wales said, this means she is now a doctor! Reckless Johnny sounded fantastic - as usual - backed by Chris Tench on guitar.
Amelia had an incredible band backing her including Robert Mache from Memphis, Parker Hawkins, and Fran Breen. Plus Chris Tench sat in for most of the set. Special guest Julie Christensen added her legendary vocals to some of Amelia's songs plus did a few of her own songs. Surprise guest Tomi Lynn Lunsford joined Christensen to sing background on "Dogs Bark" and then stayed to back up the last song of the night. A wonderful ending to a fantastic residency.
Tonight: The 5 Spot is once again the place to be. Mark Robinson wraps up his Residency (I guess he will be a doctor now, too) in style. With an expanded showband with Mark Jordan and Ben Graves joining Daniel Seymour and Rick Schell. Plus the special guests are two of the finest vocalist Nashville has to offer... Jonell Mosser and Vickie Carrico. Noted music blog, Ear to the Ground called the Mark Robinson Band one of the best live bands around, and they have certainly lived up to that this month. Tonight will be one to remember. 6:00pm.

After three weeks of having a tooth pulled, having a really bad sinus infection (worst one I have ever had), and then Americana Fest, I did some recording for Double Shot with Sue last night - tonight's agenda is laundry and catching up on stuff. If you can, you should definitely head over to the High Watt for Brian Ritchey, Jon Latham, and Smoking Flowers.
Looking ahead, Amelia White and Mark Robinson each wrap up their residencies for September on Wednesday and Thursday. White's guest is Reckless Johnny Wales and in band guest Julie Christensen. Robinson's has a expanded Showband with amazing vocalists and writers Jonell Mosser and Vickie Carrico. Both shows are don't miss affairs.
Now, it is Tuesday. For Trending Tuesday, we are still shuffling from the "New Music" playlist - made up mainly of music I received either directly from artists or through publicists.
