One of the first artists ever to grace the GemsOnVHS stage (virtual stage?) is/was Erin Rae McKaskle. We go way back, and reminisce fondly about a Nashville that feels long-gone. Back when we’d sit for hours in the summer, late into the AM hours of the next morning, on Cafe […]
Y’all know I’m a Tennessean for life. One of my favorite vistas in Tennessee, if not the world, is a mountain rising into the clouds, larger than life. Roan Mountain offers some of the most spectacular views along the Appalachian Trail, straddles the border with North Carolina and holds a […]
What’s up family, got a travel restriction special for y’all today. Obviously only recently have we been able to cross those ever-lovin’ national borders, so we’ve all been missing out on the opportunities to find folks like Jeremie and Cat up in Canada. Well, they sent this one via the […]
Computers are amazing, unless you want them to move you emotionally. Join me for a disappointing journey scouring the earth in search of advanced technologies that could make me feel something. I don’t have a Patreon or advertising affiliates, although this channel does have a lot of expenses to keep […]
This truly proves we have been at this awhile. The last time we ran across the band Resonant Rogues it was the year 2014, a year so long ago that they listed their Reverbnation as a link to their music. The younger versions of Sparrow and Keith played an accordion […]
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 – […]
I’ve been asked a few times by those of you watching what I think about “comedy bands”. Bands that are by definition designed to be a comedy act. My favourite, of course, is Spinal Tap. They are without a doubt an incredible band, even though it’s all an act. Let […]
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, […]
