Fog Crew Favorites

Shiela OK I know this is a little self-serving, but we like to toot our own horns every now and then, so I am going to just come out and say it. "Music Fog crew favorite videos will be posted here in the next several days". There, I said it. And it feels good.Aaron

We are excited about the possibilities in Nashville. There are so many artists that we have yet to put up on this site. You will see some of them up close and personal this next week at The Americana Music Festival & Conference. If all goes well, we might have something like...oh...25 or 30 new artists appearing here on Music Fog. Of course there is always the possibility that one of us might screw-up and cause what is known as the domino effect. Always possible!Ben

So, watch this space over the next few days as we travel to Nashville (we are driving) in search of great music, and good old southern hospitality. We hear rumors that ciggs & booze are cheap somewhere in the hills of West VA. And we plan to play lottery scratch-off tickets in each and every state on the way.Jessie

First up on MF video favorites - Aaron.  Later today.

The 4th Annual Red Dirt Roundup

Stockyards Saturday dawned bright and hot, and after a four hour drive north, we were at the fabled Ft. Worth Stockyards, yes, the very place from which we aired Willie's 4th of July Picnics. I had wanted to broadcast the Red Dirt Roundup since its inception, but September is such a busy event month, we (X Country) were never able to make it happen. Heck, I could never even get to attend it, so this was my first time!

Great to see the Smith Music Group people and just super to partake of an amazing lineup handpicked by CCR. Missed the folks at the beginning of the day: Bart Crow Band, Brandon Jenkins, Johnny Cooper, and Stephanie Briggs,  We got there at the end of the Seth James set. He has a smokin' new CD out, That Kind Of Man, a break-out for him.

Mac McAnally "Big Disappointment"

,

Mac gave the Music Fog cameras two songs up in the "green room" at The State Theatre in VA last week. What a calm and collected guy! It was hot as hell in that room and he didn't break a sweat. Aaron (Music Fog sound guy), was distilling in his own juice. And I was wondering if these green rooms are always like this. And they usually are because performance halls need to save a bit of green...can't blame them.

Turns out that Mac thanked us for getting there a bit earlier than him and switching on the air prior to his arrival. But then our camera lights didn't help matters much.

You just have to roll with it like Mac does.
