In honor of his first headlining USA tour right now, here is a blast from the past. Y’all might remember when me and Sam recorded a couple songs in Edinburgh years ago (https://youtu.be/67eY_u0dwSc?si=lGOHilgrxVY5DBEO). This one was recorded that weekend as well, us wandering around the old historic downtown, where he […]
After this video at their friend’s house in Old Hickory outside of Nashville, TN, Lost Dog street band parted ways for a bit. Benjamin went on to record his solo project, and Ashley to South Dakota to unwind for a bit. These were uncertain times indeed, but all is well […]
In light of Benjamin’s new direction musically, we decided to try something different for this recording. The words say it all. You can find Benjamin’s tunes on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/artist/30hVqCpEQ8gBRdNvgWMr20?si=yOuoj-_xSO-SpE7tBkgCkw) and all other streaming platforms, and catch Lost Dog Street Band on tour this summer. Check out the tour dates at […]
The White Buffalo stopped by the house to play a new song during Americana Fest week in Nashville. He left here straight to the airport to go home to his family. A pleasant gentleman. Name of song: “If I Lost My Eyes” Album: Darkest Darks, Lightest Lights Release Date: October […]
I know everyone was clamoring for another sharing of Sierra and her unique jingle-jangle sound. Well, when I was in New Orleans, I went to a hazy late night old-time show. Accordions blared on a stage lit only by bonfire and shrouded by a giant treehouse, like something out a […]
In a very special edition here, we find Matt Heckler (formerly of Deep Chatham) teaming up with Benjamin Tod (of Lost Dog street band) to play a tune of Matt’s on the porch. Not just any porch, however. This is the house where Guy Clark used to live, and later […]
Y’all know I only bring the realness to the table. Today we’re breaking bread with Greg Farley (& his badass band), whom you might recognize as the fiddle player from the Felice Brothers. Farley is real as they come, enthusiastic and all smiles, no pretentiousness, no bullshit. I’d noticed the […]
Benjamin, Ashley and Shannon (from the Teardrop Trio days) stopped by the GemsOnVHS headquarters to record some new songs. Here is the new Lost Dog Street Band one – the one that will be on their newest record set to come out in March of 2019. Benjamin explains here some […]
I introduced Ben and Hayden some time ago, and they’ve been fast friends ever since. Kindred spirits even, both prone to trouble and writing great songs about it. Both were in town for the recording of Hayden’s album we put together, and we decided to sit down and talk shop. […]
Well folks, we’ve taken it international again. A momentous occasion, as this is the first video we’ve posted in a language other than English! I do believe that folk music is a global communion that knows no boundary. This was a different style than i’ve grown accustomed to playing with […]
