Myths and Legends

July 15, 2018 by JGstott Leave a Comment

I grew up with Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. If you aren’t from Minnesota we’ll forgive you for not knowing what that is. Click the link. Later on, I heard the John Henry story, probably in the Johnny Cash version, but there are so many versions. The John Henry story is an archetypal American … [Read more…]

Shout-outs, Thanks You’s and Spins!

April 26, 2016 by JGstott Leave a Comment

Alrighty then. The release show was great, and since then it’s business as usual, if usual is a solo, independent, singer/songwriter with a family and a day job. Jayson at Wrecking Ball Radio out of North Carolina was kind enough to give ‘The River Don’t Care’ a spin a while back. Von at Americana Rock … [Read more…]

CXCW 2016- sort of.

March 20, 2016 by JGstott Leave a Comment

First- I’m still riding the high from the release show last week. Thanks you all again for coming- that felt pretty good. And a ton of people have taken the time to tell me they enjoyed the show or really liked a particular song. That means a lot. The whole reason to make a record … [Read more…]

What’s fun? Stickers!

February 6, 2016 by JGstott Leave a Comment

Ask any kid, stickers are cool. We all like stickers, ’cause they’re, well, sticky. And fun. You can stick ’em places. All kinds of places- cars, bars, walls, halls, cases, faces. It’s like freakin’ Dr. Seuss, only better ’cause you’ve got stickers. At least, if you pre-order Dirt & Heartache you do. Pre-order a CD, … [Read more…]

Made it to Radio!

January 29, 2016 by JGstott Leave a Comment

Whoa! This post is really by way of a great big thank you. David McIntyre, Lyons local and Americana and roots music connoisseur, was kind enough to spin a track from the record this morning at Boulder station KGNU. He played “The Ballad of Kentucky Slim” on the Morning Sound Alternative this morning. If you … [Read more…]

Listening Party Part 2: This Road Leads to You

January 21, 2016 by JGstott Leave a Comment

Here’s another song from Dirt & Heartache for you to check out. That’s John Macy making the pedal steel guitar sound so fantastic. He’s one of the few people on the record who doesn’t live in Lyons. He came all the way up from Denver to lay down these tracks. He really helped make this … [Read more…]
