I'm As Tight As The Night That I Had To Wipe Activator Off The Mic In 1985



- If you dig, take a walk with the original Steady Rollin Man, Robert "JR" Lockwood and check out this cat's blog; he wrote up a nice little piece on the blues giant.

- As a general rule, vegan straight-edge bluesmen such as myself do not smoke cigars. But as an addendum to this rule we will [what do I mean 'we', hell, I'm the only one ese!] play us some cigar box guitar!

- Laura Minor is a brooklyn gal who exhibits a knack for her own brand of melacholic indie-country, she's shuffling around the city and had a mention here.

- Is it just me, or is every member of the Seeger family a talanted folk artist in their own right? Take, Peggy Seeger for example, she's got it down pat. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

- The Riot Folk Collective is a motely bunch of folk fire bearers! Not only do they live and breath the music they play but they have given themselves over to the cause of making folk a threat again! They'll be in Chi-Town this Saturday. On hand will be the usual suspects of subversive folk punkers. [ Ryan Harvey, Tom Frampton and Evan Greer]

- This blog is about our Appalachia - the real one, not the Hollywood-stereotype nor the third-world nation-esque stereotype being sold by do-gooders, or even the neo-Romantic sylvan stereotype that Rousseau would probably buy into. Enough Said.

- Look at this line-up of Country Music what-the-hells? at this weekend's airing of the CMT Awards hosted by none other than the esteemed Mr. Jeff Foxworthless and you'll know exactly why REAL country music is on life support.

- Saturday April 14th is Definately ONE BIG NIGHT if you ask this brownbird. Not only will the M. Shanghai String Band be tearing things up at Union Pool as apart of their CD Release Party [with ukele viruoso Ms. Kelli Rae Powell opening with her own brand of Bad Girl Lullabies] but Mr. Rench of Rench Audio will be hosting the first ever Fat Back Spo De O De Freakout as well! Which will include a bevy of Brooklyn musical talent ripping things up, taking names and bringing forth the destruction!

- Talking Folk Originator and Author Extroidinare Adam Gnade will be playing a last minute show in Brooklyn this sunday at the Lucky Cat in Williamsburg as apart of his US Tour. This guy will be there too. If you're not too hung over from certain Saturday Night Activities you should be there too. It starts at 8pm.
