Six months to the day after the flooding that hit Lyons, one of my songs is on Couch by Couchwest (the OTHER festival going on right now). It’s a flood song, of course, but there’s another song as well. A classic American story of dreams gone bad and lives ruined. I love that stuff. You can find them both at the link above. When it’s all over I’ll post all the songs we recorded in prep for CXCW. ‘Till then, CLICK THE LINK.
All a fella needs is a couch and a guitar.
As always, CXCW has been really cool so far- burning couches, singing children (though not at the same time), funny videos, great songs and some heavy hitters in the song department (David Olney and Gretchen Peters, to name two of my favorites). It’s an example of the best of what the internet can do- rally people around a fun common passion,create community, give people a voice.
My favorite moment so far has been a song by Aaron Lee Tasjan called East Nashville Song About a Train. It’s a really great song.
Big thanks to Brian and Pam who played on the videos with me, and hope you click CXCW and watch some great music and hilarious videos. Four days to go. Make sure you have mustard.
Follow me wherever you are!
