Sorry about the title. Jim Harrison passed away somewhat unexpectedly two weeks ago, and I started this post but didn’t finish, and I’m just getting back to it now. Harrison has long been one of my favorite writers, but I didn’t come to him through the novella that made him famous. Back in the nineties, … [Read more…]
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…]
So it’s release day. If you didn’t know about this before landing on this post, all I can say is you are remarkably free of the disease of social media, because I did my best to get the word out. We’re doing a show tonight at Oskar Blues in Lyons. I’m hoping to see a … [Read more…]
Wow- time flies. We’re less than two weeks away from the release show at Oskar Blues (Saturday, March 12, 8pm). If you’re planning on coming we are psyched to see you. Join the FB Event so we know to look for you. Advanced tickets are not necessary, it will be $5 at the door (gotta pay … [Read more…]
Hey- it’s Tiny Desk Time! I’m filling the sadness at the passing of Couch by Couchwest by watching Tiny Desk videos. No idea what that is? Tiny Desk is a music series on NPR, and they have an online contest where you send in videos. It lacks the twitter fed witty banter and barroom vulgarity … [Read more…]
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…]
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…]
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…]
The store is open! Actually, one of you discovered that we had already put the button up for pre-selling CDs last week. You are sneaky. You clicked the button. You get to be first in line when we mail these things in a few weeks- and we’ll throw in some extra stickers just for you. … [Read more…]
Alright! Lots of people wanted a chance to hear some of the new album before it’s released (doesn’t everyone like to feel like they got in on the secret?) So here you go. This is actually track 3 on the record. That’s Jesse Garland and Cherie Taylor doing the awesome backing vocals, and Arthur Lee … [Read more…]
