Uncle Lucius “Mississippi Highway”

This scrappy organization performed on the Music Fog stage then headed straight to the Austin airport to apply their magic upon weary SXSW travelers heading out of town. Yeah…they played a gig at the airport.  These guys quickly became Music Fog favorites. With a new album out tomorrow, everybody had better get to know their names. Kevin, Mike, Hal & Josh good luck with the album guys. With Cash Edwards on your side--and a lead singer with a beard that could house an owl--you can’t loose.

Duane Jarvis

DJ I landed in Austin today, and when I turned my phone back on, I heard that Duane Jarvis had passed last night, far too young, at 51. I loved his smile, the peace one felt around him, and his great guitar playing and sweet voice. We played him on X Country, my former radio station, one of the many "unsung" heroes I was able to shine a light on during my tenure as PD. I brought the "Far From Perfect" CD from Nashville to XM, where it was one of the first put into rotation in the library.

DJ's battle with colon cancer is over but his music lives on. Donations can be sent here.

Peter Cooper has penned an obituary for the Tennessean. It can be found here.

May his family find peace.
