What better way to start a Monday than with a band that wrote the definitive song about it? This week’s video runs 40 minutes of the Bottle Rockets live, and yes, “Monday (Everytime I Turn Around)” is in there — along with “Dog,” “XOYOU,” “I Don’t Wanna Know,” “Ship It On the Frisco,” “Shape of […]
Monday Morning Video – Maggie Rose
Maggie Rose recently announced her new album, Half Moon, due August 14th. Before we get there, let’s revisit the title track of her 2024 release, No One Gets Out Alive. Recorded at Tennessee’s iconic The Caverns, this is an epic performance — complete with a string section. And that voice. Powerful and beautiful, in equal […]
Monday Morning Video – Anthony da Costa
Don’t we all want our person? Anthony da Costa does, too. But “Everybody Wants Their Person” isn’t really a love song. He’s found her — he’s just not sure he’s worthy of her. The longing here isn’t for another person. It’s for a better version of himself.
Monday Morning Video – Gabe Lee
Gabe Lee arrived at New York City’s Cafe Wha? this past weekend with more than songs. What he put together was a one-man Off-Broadway show — stories and music woven together into a look at what it’s like to chase songs — and a songwriting career — in Nashville. The pain was real, the humor […]
Monday Morning Video – Joe Strummer
Joe Strummer never stopped being Joe Strummer. Long after the Clash, long after the revolution was supposed to have been televised and filed away, he kept showing up — in dive bars, on festival stages, at record stores in lower Manhattan — still swinging. This 2001 clip finds him in a New York record store […]
Monday Morning Video – Nathan Bess
It isn’t easy for a solo acoustic artist to command a room opening for a rock band, but Nathan Bess made it look easy. He’s a Charleston firefighter who only started releasing music in 2024, yet his stage presence is seasoned and soulful. Great songs, warm personality, and a voice you can’t ignore. Here is […]
Monday Morning Video – Dave Mason (1946 – 2026)
Dave Mason earned his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction as a founding member of Traffic. It was well-deserved, yet it’s only a fraction of his contribution to rock history. You can find his fingerprints on records by Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, George Harrison, and Paul McCartney—a first-call contributor to some of the […]
Monday Morning Video – Ted Hawkins
Ted Hawkins had a story as singular as his voice — you can read about it here. What the words can’t quite capture is what happens when he opens his mouth to sing. This clip, from an Irish television program in 1988, is a welcome reminder of his graceful talent. His voice and music endure.
Monday Morning Video – Dallas House Show Preview
There’s something about a Sunday afternoon in a Dallas backyard — relaxed, sunny, the kind of day that makes you remember why you love live music in the first place. We’ve been lucky enough to host some incredible artists at the Sunday Social over the years, and if we’re being honest, we’ve gotten a little […]
Monday Morning Video – Tom Petty “You Got Lucky”
I have to admit that I was long jaded by the original video for Tom Petty’s “You Got Lucky” as it had little, if anything, to do with the song. Once I got past that, however, the song became a fave among faves within the Petty catalog. The song is, at its core, a pointed […]
