WRIR Fundraiser Show

I had a swell time entertaining on the local Richmond airwaves! I got to sing some of my favorites, and the DJs were mighty good hosts. This was my first time in a very long time performing on WRIR in Richmond. I hadn't been on since 2005. I really have come a long way since then! They sure did make me feel at home. Here's a full audio clip of the show

This past weekend I entertained at Sneed's Nursery for their Fall Festival. The weather was kind of chilly and windy, but I had a great time. I always get my Christmas trees from them, and they always have a good selection it seems. I didn't get to travel as much this year as I did last year, but I figure its probably good to take a break and focus more on songwriting, tweaking my performance routines, and getting in better shape. I still have my YMCA membership and I keep up with strength training regimen. My goal is to get rid of this flab, so I can look fab!

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 ...

Coffee Shop Country: EP

Coffee Shop Country EP by Meade Skelton Inspired by Ned Hepburn's "Death and Taxes" blog, where he described my music as "Coffee Shop Country", I came out with this digital EP. The work is in progress, as it will come to full fruition as an album later (possibly cassette tape). For now this is "Coffee Shop Country" - sort of a paint brush of strokes of what come forth from my performances at the many coffee shops I have played over the years. Its Country and its Coffee Shop style. And that's about all I know. But its fun to create it. Its available now at Bandcamp and I have it going for 5$ , or simply 1$ a song. Whichever the general public prefers is fine by me. Last year I had fun doing "Christmas Joy". I also need to find out when that will be coming out on cassette tape, CD, or Vinyl for folks to Enjoy. It probably needs to happen soon. But this is definitely a fun project.
