“Boulders”
“Boulders” written by Dylan Dickerson of Dear Blanca (dearblanca.bandcamp.com/)
Over the past few years I’ve seen Dear Blanca play a number of times, listened to their records, and more recently run sound for them at a local venue in here in Charlotte. Every time they play this song it hits me , and the original version, recorded by none other than Mr. Bo White, is really great as well.
The artwork is a painting called “Babylon Don’t Love You” by my friend David R. Warren. (davidrwarren.com)
Post Hearings – “This Ain’t No Country Song”
My friends over at Post Hearings recorded a set I did back in January at Newsstand Records and Books down in Rock Hill SC. They are good folks. You can check out the other performances over at their Facebook page (Post Hearings Facebook Link).
“Bells of Harlem”
Written by Dave Rawlings and Gillian Welch, “Bells of Harlem” is a song I’ve been listening to a lot lately. The album “Friend of a Friend” has become one of my favorites over the last few months. I love the vibe of this song in the original recording and I think I am bringing something slightly different to it in this version. I’m not sure exactly what this song meant to Dave and Gillian when it was written but it seems poignant right now. With all of the confusion, corruption, horrible news and heartache, this song seems hopeful despite it all.
The artwork is a painting by a friend of mine, David R. Warren (www.davidrwarren.com) called “High on Low.” He was gracious enough to let me use his image for this track.
Hope you enjoy.
3/22 – Evening Muse
Well, we had a good run back in February with our friends Ghost of the Kodiak, and Brian Robert. A few weeks before the winter tour, actually the first show of 2016, I played at Newsstand Records and Books in Rock Hill, SC. The good folks down there recorded the whole night and have been putting out some videos for your viewing pleasure. Give it a look when you get a second. The song they chose from my set was “Know Too Much,” a track off the latest EP To Be True.
We’ll be at the Evening Muse in Charlotte NC this coming Tuesday, 3/22 with our friends Mail the Horse. We hope to see you out if you can make the show! If you don’t make this one keep an eye out. We’re booking dates across the summer now and we’ll be announcing our next tour soon. Thank you.
