Bus Report & Ashley Cleveland

Ragweed & Heathens 2

OK we've been living on this bus for 3 days and frankly things are starting to get ripe. With all the naked "Frodo" feet walking around, and the Jack flowing freely every day starting at 9am, a delousing may be in order. Sure, we take out the garbage every morning while we still have sleep dirt in our eyes. and we make an effort to pick up after ourselves. But let's face it, living on this thing is akin to living on a submarine deep under the sea. There are 4 guys on board and one chick (Sheila-professional intern), and we spend a great deal of time wondering "what that smell is."  I'm pretty sure it's just the feet.  Matter of fact I just checked, and it's definitely the feet. So for any artists yet to come on board this afternoon - we are keeping the shoes on. Expectations remain high. And we just discovered this thing called Fabreez! Works pretty good!

Here is Ashley Cleveland "Samson & Delilah"

Charlie Robison "Beautiful Day"

, ,

Charlie Robison brought his cat gut strung Tacoma guitar on the Celebrity Coach on day #1 in Nashville. We noticed how the tones just flew out of the thing and marveled at it's sound. That's when Charlie brought extra security on the bus to make sure The Music Fog Crew didn't try and heist it. He is performing from his new album.

More to come from The Americana Festival & Conference

Thankx for the guitar Charlie!

Annie & The Beekeepers

We Music Fog men are not ones to get all emotional and cry. We leave that responsibility to Jessie Scott. The rest of us are not teary-eyed girlie men. The only two times in which Music Fog men are allowed to cry are as follows... 

1. When you lose your dog.

2. At the end of "Field of Dreams" when Kevin Costner gets to play catch with his dad.

Enter Annie & The Beekeepers.

This band (who was introduced to us by our sound guy Aaron) rolled onto the bus at the end of a very long day. They brought nothing but wood: a tall snazzy stand up bass, cello, guitar and a dobro.  This wasn't boring. This wasn't for the emotionally weak. We all cried at the end. At least us men. Really, we did...

And we are men. Real men of strength.

We present to you...Annie & The Beekeepers. 

Behold...
