Rae and I will be on “Champagne Sundays” at 1pm central. I’m not sure what we’re going to cover today but here is something I have been working on.
The Joiners on Big Blend Champagne Sunday.
Love the Way She Loves Me – 2006
Here’s another one from the archive, with Ole Mossy Face from Nashville, TN. backing me up. Recorded at Battle Tapes by Jeremy Ferguson.
Our House – 2015
Here is a song I dug up from 2015.
John Thursday – Strange and Beautiful
I wrote this song in Nashville in the unfinished upstairs apartment of a friends house. There was no kitchen but we had a bathroom and a blow-up bed. The bus stopped one street over and I would take it to Broadway where I had a gig at Dixieland Delights – an ice cream shop across the street from Gruhns Guitars. There was a plastic Elvis out front on the corner and I would play 4-5 hour slots of covers and originals for tips. Sounds like fun, but it was work. One time a family came in and their daughters took one look at me and then each other and feigned to shoot themselves in the head with their finger guns. It was worth every hungover minute of those Sunday 8am-12pm gigs just to say I had a regular gig on Broadway.
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.
