Second installment of the couple days I spent with Nick Hans, my buddy, in the shadow of the mountains in New Mexico. This was shot in a horse stable he has converted into his house, and indeed that is his truck in the background. The dog is also his – […]
A day on the east side in Nashville with our friend Angela Autumn. We crammed into the little kitchen amongst some thriving plant life with her bass playing compatriot Noah G Fowler (no relation to Matt Fowler) to hear what she has been working on. I hate to take part […]
Just another day in Dundalk, Ireland with the lads. We woke up as early as we could, seeing as we were still shaking off the brain fog that an extravagant night of the finest Guinness pints can do to you. I told the boys to show me the spots that […]
Benjamin Tod and Barry Duvall gave us a little tour of the (said-to-be-haunted) Palace Theatre in Greenville, Kentucky. Apparently, these hallowed walls have been home to many noteworthy musicians of yesteryear. It seems that Muhlenberg county in general is the birthplace a lot of authentically American music from the past, […]
About this song, Benjamin had this to say; “This song in a lot of ways is about my never ending struggle with bipolar disorder and addiction. It also encompasses a battle with delusions everyone seems to live with. In that I believe it is relatable to most people who have […]
No, it isn’t Drake, it is Kyle Brew back with another banger of his own. This was at his home in Melbourne, Australia, on my trip there. In his little courtyard one morning, over a couple cups of coffee as we were trading songs back and forth, he played me […]
Back in 2009 or so, I first started listening to the band American Aquarium. The album “Dances For the Lonely” had somehow found its way to me, and the sound was rockin, fresh, and with a focus on songwriting. I probably had, as a careless teenager with absolutely no money […]
What would a trip to Australia be without a story about a deadly, poisonous beast? In true Steve Irwin fashion, Brodie gives us the dangerous tale we needed. No, it isn’t the drop bears this time, it’s the story of the King Brown, the baddest snake around. This big monster […]
We’re back with another field recording from fan favorite, Mr. Matt Heckler. This time, he is back on his ole fiddle, playing an ole folk tune by the name of “Swannanoa Tunnel”. A tragic song some folks may know as played on the banjo by Bascom Lamar Lunsford (https://youtu.be/RdZvWdZS7KM). Matt […]
Some of y’all may remember my trips to Ireland, and the resulting field recordings so far released (watch them here; https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs_EQs5RN521npTFpevgGI51gPV5QUntn ). Back in 2021, I was planning a big return trip to the country with my mate Matt Heckler (https://youtu.be/UxZCjro3Kps). Unfortunately, Matt had to back out, but he introduced […]
