Sprint to the Finish

Music Fog

March 19, 2011

Wow. Simply wow. I am basking in the afterglow of an amazing day of music yesterday as we wrapped the third day of the Music Fog Marathon, presented by Neustar, at Threadgill’s WHQ in South Austin. We've been holed up in the back room, with the red velvet curtains, capturing magic as the music emanates from the stage. We started the day with Chapin Sisters, and then solo sets from Robert Ellis and Ron Sexsmith. Then a couple of hot young bands in Ponderosa and Deadman. Then it got packed and crazy, with visits from Jimmy LaFave, Dave Alvin, Malford Milligan, Carolyn Wonderland, and Brigitte DeMeyer. We wrapped and ate, and pondered the next round. So it is upon us, Day Four. We will be sending out a live feed here on Music Fog once again, via Ustream. Here is the schedule of our final day...it's a sprint to the finish now!

Amy LaVereIt was St. Patrick’s Day yesterday, the wearing of the green, and I was. Too much kissing I guess, I woke up yesterday morning with a, how shall we say, malaise, that made it totally impossible for me to get out of bed! Glad we were streaming; I was able to view my window on the Music Fog world from my computer at home during day two of the festivities from Threadgill’s WHQ in South Austin. Wagons, Jonny Burke, Jackson Parten, Maxim Ludwig & The Santa Fe Seven, Dash Rip Rock, Tim Easton, Susan Gibson, Lisa Morales, Stone River Boys, Amy LaVere, Jon Dee Graham, and Rod Picott all performed for us, and we broadcast it all on our website via Ustream. Most of the sets will be archived there for a week or so, then we'll return to delivering the higher quality 'one video at a time' presentation of this incredible group of artists.

Time to get ready for today’s lineup. We did have a cancellation, as Bruce Robison was on call for the movie he is doing with Kris Kristofferson, so we aren’t going to have a performance from him and his wife Kelly Willis. But never fear, Chapin Sisters have stepped up and we will start the day with them.

It is a not to miss day three of the Music Fog Marathon, presented by Neustar. See you on the web!

We hope you were following the Fog all day yesterday, and what a day it was at Threadgill's WHQ in South Austin. We tested all the equipment Tuesday night, and at 3am we made the call to broadcast live via Ustream with the content we are capturing for posting in the coming days on Music Fog. Where to start? Well, actually, the beginning will do just fine. Yesterday's performances came from: Alessi's Ark, Heidi Spencer, Ian Moore and The Lossy Coils, Uncle Lucius, Brian Wright, Guy Forsyth, Foster & Lloyd, The Civil Wars, Ray Wylie Hubbard, The Trishas, and Citizens Band Radio...and that was just day one! Watch some of the archived sets here, while you're waiting for todays' performances.

Day two dawns at 11:20am CDT from Threadgill's south with a whole new roster of amazing musicians. Thanks to our sponsor Neustar for making all this possible. Here is today's lineup!
