3rd and Lindsley

In a town where almost every band is self-labelled "energetic" or "dynamic," it is incredibly refreshing to witness a show where those words actually ring true. Such was the case at the downtown Nashville 3rd and Lindsley club last night where Due West, an "energetic" vocal trio, brought the house down. For the full review please visit: mycrazymusicblog.com

Fire Engine Red

10 months ago I ordered a calton case for my fiddle and mandolin. pledged as the best case for your instrument, by the company and musicians alike, i took the plunge. completely custom made by humans and not machines, i was ok with the wait time, and i'll come to terms with the price. i also found out from calton case that only two fire engine red fiddle/mando combo cases have ever been made; mine and allison krauss's.

Still Crooked

Last Sunday night the Basement, in Nashville, was open for quite a cool event; the CD release tour of Crooked Still's new record, Still Crooked. There have been some personnel changes in the band in recent months, but one would never have guessed as their sound was still uniquely defined. Former cellist Rushad Eggleston left the band in November 2007, and the quartet quickly turned into a quintet adding a fiddle player (should have done that a long time ago) and a new cellist, Triston Clarridge. (He's won the Grand National Fiddle competition three times!)
I was nervous that their sound might have changed with the new line-up but I was very pleased to hear that Crooked Still was definitely "still crooked". For the full write up please visit: mycrazymusicblog!

Such a Payne

I wrote a review of my friend, Sam Payne, on MyCrazyMusicBlog.com. I wanted to also show a great video of his sister Eliza Wren Payne who lives in London, England. I was first introduced to her music/voice at a Sam Payne concert in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was in town, and Sam asked that she come up and sing "Summertime." I do believe that it was the audience favorite of the night. Here is a link to her website and a music video of "Dance Song." www.elizawrenpayne.com
