Last week was long and this week is shaping up to be even longer. Jack Ingram’s “I’m Drinking Through It” may be about dealing with heartbreak but seems like a suitable anthem for the week.
Nathan Evans Fox – Wasted Love
North Carolina born and currently residing in Nashville, Nathan Evans Fox sometimes talks about “accent”. Not just the way you talk, but how you react to certain things, how you behave, even some of your values. The French use the word “terroir” similarly to describe what’s imparted by a place of origin. Fox decided to […]
Video Premiere: Mike Donello & the New Essentials – Southside
One of the things I like about live music towns is how a group of musicians will just sort of start playing local gigs and end up becoming a well-known part of the music scene. They can make a living, or at least have a healthy side hustle, performing frequently without ever having to sleep […]

I re-connected with his music with 2019’s Kivalina, a joint EP with Jesse Terry and, thanks to a chance meeting in Nashville this past […]
Stash – Walk the Walk
Stash is an all-star group from the West Coast roots rock scene. They will be releasing their excellent album “Walk the Walk” on November 5th. Born out of the pandemic the album should not be this much fun. Thankfully it is an eclectic Rock N’ Roll gem that I have had on repeat since getting […]
Sue Foley – Pinky’s Blues
Throughout this past year-and-a-half-going-on-two, it’s been hard to find much to get excited about. If you’re like me, it seems, much like with coronavirus, everything has lots its flavor. Sue Foley’s Pinky’s Blues may just be part of the antidote. A native of Ottawa, Canada transplanted in Austin, Texas, Foley says she had an epiphany […]
