Every now and then I draw. Now Iβve got somewhere to keep them.
Trey Deuce Daytimer
We are headed back to Nash Vegas to play with our old gang The Trey Deuce Club at Dee’s in a couple weeks. Rae and I met in Nashville and formed our band The Joiners while there. It’s always a blast to go back to where it all began, kick it with the old gang, and (in the words of Thomas House, “pass that old guitar around one more time”).
What:
John Thursday and The Joiners are having a nooner with our old gang The Trey Deuce Club outside at #deescountrycocktaillounge in Nashville on Saturday, October 23rd at 3pm.
With Annie Neeley, John Thursday / The Joiners, Joe Bidewell, and The Company on 10/23 from 3p to 5:30p outside at Dee’s Lounge Lounge. Hosted by D. Striker, the event is doubling as a food drive for Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee too, so bring some peanut butter, which is one of their most needed items.See you in Madison, TN!

John Thursday and The Joiners are headed to Nashville!
I am thrilled to announce that Rachel and I will be heading to Nashville to perform at D. Striker’s semi-annual Friday the 13th RR Party. We will kick off his set after Justin and the Cosmics and Altered Statesman. Can’t wait to get back to Music City!
John Thursday starts a baking show!
Okay so we didn’t “start” a baking show so much as we made one episode. I put on Facebook that if we made it to 50 subscribers that day (we were at 49) I would make a Vegan chocolate chip cookie video. Well being the good ol’ friend of many years that he is, Brandon McDearis, was our 50th subscriber so we made him a video. The kids all make appearances and as my sister-in-law says, all of their different personalities really come out. And the cookie was awesome!
The Joiners are streaming on all of your favorite streaming services.
Rachel and I had a band in Nashville with some wonderful musician friends. Calling ourselves The Joiners, we made two albums and a single that are now streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, and all of your other favorite places to discover music. Go check it out and listen to our Nashville selves.

If you’d like to tip the band, click the PayPal button above or use Venmo @TMJoiner. While it is appreciated, it is definitely not required as we know most everyone is facing uncertain times and we are here just to provide a little distraction from things.
At Dino’s back in the day…
Here’s a picture of The Joiners playing Dino’s Bar on Gallatin Ave. in East Nashville. We were the house band at Dino’s for a bit, playing every other weekend (when there wasn’t a NASCAR race on the TV). Back then we were a three piece, with the incomparable Joe Bidewell on the bass and harmonica and Rachel on the drums. Living in Music City and playing regular gigs at the local dive bar was my own version of living the dream. It was tons of fun and we were surrounded by so many great musicians and great friends. We’re really looking forward to playing all the old songs tomorrow night and hope to see everyone there!

Another photo from 2006 – Getting ready for Saturday’s Live Stream
Remember when I said we played on the street outside of Robert’s Western Wear? We would play inside every now and then, too. We liked to hang out downtown back in those days after our Ice Cream Shop gig, and every once in awhile whoever was playing at Robert’s would ask us if we wanted to come up and sing one or two. Of all the Honky Tonks, Roberts was our favorite. You could buy boots there too, which I did, after one or two too many drinks. I wore them once, they hurt my feet.

Daily Reminder – Live Stream Saturday
Just another reminder about the livestream on Saturday. Here is a photo of The Joiners from the Nashville years. We had just returned from a trip across country where, by the end of it, we were homeless, broke, and driving a car without brake lights. We played on the street in front of Robert’s Western Wear on Broadway until we were invited in to play a regular gig at Dixieland Delights, an ice cream shop across the street. From there, Rae got a job at the Radio Cafe in East Nashville and we moved into a storefront on Gallatin Ave (which we even managed to rent out for an event once or twice) across from legendary dive bar Dino’s (where we became the house band).
