The Week In Reviews

August 16, 2020 by JGstott 2 Comments

Press, reviews, livestream announcements and some video. Last week saw the arrival of the first few reviews for Wreckage of Now. It’s fun when people get what you’re doing, and it’s even more fun when they clearly enjoy writing about it. This review of the single from Dancing About Architecture (great blog name) was awfully … [Read more…]

New Video!

July 14, 2019 by JGstott Leave a Comment

We spent a lot of time in June staring at the windshield. That’s a lot of time to think, or not. Also, cellphones all have cameras on them now (in case you weren’t aware of that). So I was scrolling through all the pictures and video of our travels and I realized I had a … [Read more…]

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…]

Goodbye February, Hello New Toys!

March 1, 2018 by JGstott Leave a Comment

This winter has been a grind. Not sure why, but it has. So goodbye and good riddance February. John Lennon was (I have read, but this story is probably apocryphal, like most stories of its kind) once asked, what was his favorite instrument to compose/write with or on? His answer, supposedly, was “I’m an artist … [Read more…]

Fall Already!?! September 2017 Update

September 17, 2017 by JGstott Leave a Comment

It seems like every year about this time I’m writing the same post, which amounts to, “holy crap, where did the time go?” That said, summer was great, and I love fall. So other than the speed of the whole thing, I can’t complain. Over the course of four days in July and August I … [Read more…]

Spring Updates and a Cover Song…

March 24, 2017 by JGstott Leave a Comment

Well, either spring has sprung early or Climate Change is gonna kill us all. Maybe something in the middle…who knows. I’ve been writing songs and messing around with synching audio with video, in the hopes that I’ll be able to kick out some videos this year with higher sound quality. I’m not there yet. I … [Read more…]

Time Flies When You’re Having Fun

November 6, 2016 by JGstott Leave a Comment

Kinda powered through the last month there didn’t we? Fall is always busy, which can be a bummer, since it’s also my favorite time of year. I had a couple of great shows at The Rock Inn and The Jamestown Mercantile in October. Two of my favorite places to play here in Colorado. The Merc … [Read more…]

Tiny Desk Videos and a CXCW Eulogy

February 16, 2016 by JGstott Leave a Comment

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…]

Song School and Folks Fest 2015!

August 22, 2015 by JGstott Leave a Comment

Last week I was in Song School, which was awesome, then Folks Festival happened. This year Jason Isbell was the Saturday night headliner. Pretty much as good as it gets. One of my favorites playing outside and walking distance from my house.There were tons of other great sets at Folks: Kasey Chambers, The Wood Brothers, … [Read more…]

Couches and Such…CXCW Wrap-up

April 22, 2015 by JGstott Leave a Comment

I never did a Couch by Couchwest wrap-up, so here it is. My life was way too busy with things that didn’t involve music this year, so CXCW blew by in a hurry. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t awesome. I really enjoy checking out all the great acts from all over the country (and … [Read more…]
