Emmylou Harris w/ Buddy Miller

Emmylou Harris Egyptian Theatre in Boise, Idaho - November 15th

If you ever find yourself in Boise, there are two places you must go: The Record Exchange and The Egyptian Theatre. The Record Exchange is insanely awesome. Local, eclectic, and extremely well stocked, it’s a haven for music lovers. The Egyptian has been around since 1927 and is an architectural gem, plus it has near-perfect acoustics. 

I had the pleasure of seeing Emmylou Harris and her Red Dirt Boys at the Egyptian with special guest Buddy Miller. Emmylou is legendary with two sold out shows in Boise being proof.

Madison Violet "Crying"

,
Lisa_and_Brenley It is wholly fitting that Music Fog convened at The Mansion On O Street in Washington, DC to film Madison Violet. We are talking light, love, art, glitteringly delivered in an evening of song, amazing food and beautiful backdrop. True wine, women and song, or is it women OF song? No matter. If you are visiting DC, do check out The Mansion for your stay. Unforgettable. And/or check out their brunches, dinners and other concerts and events. 

Now to Madison Violet. What can I say. I have a girl crush on them, just looking at them...and I ain't that kind of girl. And then when they sing...well, see for yourself. Canadian songbirds indeed! Here is "Crying."

Go To A Virtual Real Concert

Avatar point Anne McCue perked up our ears when she sent a note announcing an international concert that she's performing. Yes, a real show, but attended by avatars online! Dig it. Here's a bit of what she wrote: 

"Mike Nesmith's Video Ranch is this alternate reality - a world unto itself - with venues, bars and other amusements etc. You log in, choose an avatar and go seeking adventure. We are playing 2 shows that can be seen worldwide. The times are 12 noon and 6pm L.A. time (U.S. Pacific) on Saturday, November 21st. I hope you will be able to attend the show! I recommend you log in tonight and get your avatar working."

These are free shows and there is no cost to log in. Anne explains more in this Facebook post, including some limitations for Mac users. What a great idea, though, huh? Anne joins an impressive list of Americana and Roots artists who have played to the Videoranch3D global audience. The Boxmasters, Slaid Cleaves, the Greencards, Chuck Prophet and James McMurtry have all performed on this stage. Being a sound guy, I wonder if anyone has spilled a virtual beer on the house's audio console yet?
