Throw Back Thursday: Nashville Trip 2012

For "Throw back" Thursday , I want to discuss the most spectacular trip I ever had to Nashville.  In July of 2012, I went to Nashville , this time with the Meadow Street band.  I had been to Nashville three times before this occasion , but going with the band made it more exciting and official. We had a heap of fun!  We made a stop in  Johnson City , TN along the way to perform at Acoustic Coffeehouse. Then we drove through the night to arrive at our stay at the Opryland Hotel and convention Center. We got to take a tour of the famous Studio B, and got to record a few tunes there. I got to play the famous Steinway piano (the same piano that was touched by Elvis , Floyd Cramer, Jerry Lee Lewis, and many other legends!). We sang at the Nashville Convention Center, had free tickets to the Grand 'ol opry, and got to sing a little accapella at the Ryman Auditorium. I'm including some pictures of that wonderful trip. I have been to Nashville by myself a few times, but this was the most enjoyable.

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 ...

New Single Release: The Courage Ride

I released a new singled called "The Courage Ride". Available now through Bandcamp The Courage Ride-Bandcamp Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Everyone! I had quite a few Christmas parties this year. Sadly,  I didn't do much with the band. But we are working on our new album release. We have plans to go out to Memphis next June and sing at Graceland. They have a very awesome stage for bands to play there. I miss getting out and singing the way I used to at the coffee shops and the small clubs. But I believe God will be opening more doors for me again soon. Perhaps that chapter is over, and a new modern one begins. To date, I have written over 200 songs that I feel have quality potential. I like to try out new styles. I verge on the Pop at times, but my forte is the "folky side" of Country Music. That is where my heart lies. I am going to take guitar lessons and voice lessons again soon to improve my technique. I'm also back in college now. So I am do...
