New songs in the works!

-



Hey everyone! I will be going back into the studio again with The Meadow Street Band, to record some newer material I have been working on. I will probably release a few singles first, before another full album. I'm still riding high on the coat tails on my last record "Meade Music"! It sure took off like hotcakes at a County fair! This is always fun for me to record new songs. I like to do it, and it can be addictive.  My newer songs will be reflecting more personal life choices, but some will be more story type songs. And don't worry- they will definitely be Country! I will never stray far from my Country Music roots.

If you are interested, please check out my latest releases online. Meade Music is available on both CD and Vinyl LP- and for the best results, I recommend getting your copy from CD Baby. They seem to have the best turn around time.  For updates, I will always have my calendar on my website page, with lots of information about upcoming events and releases. I will be coming to a fair, festival, or coffee shop near you- singing songs filled with traditional values!

The Grand Finale Talent Show down at The Tin Pan...

-
There were many very talented people last night. Some were just amazing. I felt very inadequate. However, the audience seemed to really like my yodeling, and my "sweet tea". I got a request for "sweet tea" so I did that one, and then I followed up with "two step 'round the Christmas tree"- a Michael Martin Murphy tune, also done later by Suzy Bogguss. I got a good response from the table next to me afterwards. There were 11 performers for the night (all from each month that won for the monthly prize- January through November). After getting a wild response, I thought maybe I had a chance at being in the top three finalists. I kept hoping and praying that would happen. It didn't , though An Oriental guy wowed everyone with his piano playing. He was very good- but he didn't sing. All he did was play the piano.  He did versions of Queen Bohemian Rhapsody and some other semi-Classical stuff like that. You know what folks? I can play Classical pia

Ned Hepburn: Meade Skelton’s ‘Hipsters Ruin Everything’ may be hipster anthem we’ve all been waiting for

-
 This is a reprint of a now deceased article from Death and Taxes Blog printed June 20th, 2012 Meade Skelton’s ‘Hipsters Ruin Everything’ may be hipster anthem we’ve all been waiting for Meade Skelton is a guy from Virginia who hates Obama, hipsters, and untucking his shirt. He has a blog, and spends most of the day blogging about how much he wants to sing, how much he hates Obama, how much he dislikes drums, and detailing his weight loss. He also uploads a lot of his songs to YouTube. Now, the cynic in me wants to simply write him off as a guy in a small town with a keyboard (which he names “Bessie,” by the way) – but to be honest, there’s something about him that screams “outsider art” moreso than most any other random YouTube / blog find. He comes across like the Daniel Johnston of keyboard-based coffee shop country – a description that no doubt will set his rivaled hipsters ears on fire. For all the vast amount of information that the internet has to offer, its rare to come

Advice for Young Musicians

-
I have been in the "business" awhile, and here are some Pro tips for the younger folks who may be trying to get foot in the door of the music world. Whether it's just local, national, or otherwise,  I hope these tips may be of valuable use to someone who is trying to find their niche. 1.Don't Try Too Hard To be "Different" or "Original" Just being "different" for different sake, is not going to work long term. It may help as a gimmick, but people grow tired of this. Try to be authentic, and true to yourself. If you are a bit odd, that is fine. But don't try so hard to be "unique". It will look forced. There is nothing new under the sun. If you are struggling, try and make music that exploits your own personality: something that funnels and channels who you are as a person . Audiences will respond to that. Be yourself on stage. (This does necessarily not apply to tribute artists) 2.Try to Sing in Your Own vo
