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...

Sheila's pick: Seth James "Leaves of September"

"Seth James came on the magical Music Fog bus and I was speechless. It was so elegantly simple: sitting on an amp, just him, his guitar, his voice just baring his soul. I just adore his latest record "That Kind of Man." I was ridiculously thrilled when I saw him on the list for the Americana Music Association Festival. I'll let the video speak for itself but I must say, what a dreamboat!"

“If You See A F Hole – Mic It!”

Bus at Night Thirteen Bands recorded at the Celebrity Coach - Music Fog bus yesterday. That’s a record for this “start-up” venture! So many inventive decisions had to be made on the fly here at the Americana Music Festival & Conference. How do you record a clip board from an office supply store played with a pair of brushes? 

Aaron That aluminum stand-up bass that walked in the door at 1am asked for a beer and a smoke before Aaron could record it. Didn’t phase Aaron. He wrestled the bass to the floor – threw a mic at it, and recorded what ever sound it made. Thats when we heard the now infamous cry of the audio guy…”if you see a F hole, mic it”. 

Seems innocent enough. But we are worried about Aaron. He’s the one that talked us all into taking 3:30am showers at a truck stop last night! Really.

More video on the way. Watch this space.
