Folk Alliance

Folk We have another event to bring you. Gonna be going to Memphis for the Folk Alliance on February 18, and we can't wait! This is especially amazing, as we have been traveling for the last 8 years, but Ben, Beans and I are all attending for the first time, so we have been trying to find out as much as we can before we head out. There are a whole bunch of showcase rooms, and there are a WHOLE bunch of people playing official showcases. And we hear that then there are rooms where people jam until the wee smallees! A huge list of performers, and we can't wait! I have started getting in touch with the artists already, and we are happy to report there will be some familiars faces, and also some brand new ones. More to come!

West Nashville Road House RAWK

It was supposed to happen on Jan. 15th - but Will Kimbrough got the call to
write music with Mr. Jimmy Buffet. With a quick advance in the calendar &
fast word-on-the street, DADDY (Will Kimbrough & Tommy Womack with John
Deaderick, Paul Griffith & Dave Jacques) claimed the stage on Mon., Jan.
12th at the extremely intimate Norm's River Road House in deep West
Nashville, TN. The boys were assembled for a photo shoot & live performance
preview of their upcoming new studio album - "For The Second Time" - out
this June, in time for Father's Day. DADDY's first album - "At The Women's
Club" -  was recorded live in Kentucky in 2005 and has been much buzzed &
blogged about among Todd Snider followers and the like. The Americana
super-group is already confirmed to play at the Tin Pan South Festival and
SXSW.

You can witness some of killer grooves from that Norm's show in the video below, including
this new song:

-Mary, Fan Reporter #006

Music Fog Fan Reporters

The response has been awesome...the Music Fog Fan Reporter thing should be pretty cool once the reports start to flow in. Who knows, the whole thing could be a train wreck but that would also be weirdly fun to watch, so we all win either way!

As I mentioned, we've been trying to come up with a cool name for this effort. The top suggestions so far:

1. iFog
2. Fog eBloggers (heh heh, get it?)
3. Fogbeat
4. Fog Fans

And the list goes on. While we'd like to have a wickedly-snarky title for this, I don't think there's anything wrong with keeping it simple and just calling you guys/gals "Fan Reporters." Let me know if anyone is strangely opposed to this.

Also...the coveted "007" Fan Reporter number goes to...Nealito of South Luckenbach. Congrats, sir. The list of numbers and reporters can be found on the left column of this page.

And finally...we have some big news on the way concerning a certain music festival in Memphis next month...stay tuned!

In the meantime, don't forget that you can browse all of our videos on our YouTube channel.
