Nothing’s new video “Bent Nail”: an unruly audience, Kurt Vile, smashed produce

I missed Nothing’s set at the recent Savannah Stopover, but if I knew that the audience could buy produce and eggs from Kurt Vile and then attack the band, I would have shown up for sure. Pretty great stuff in…

Kristina Train, Pokey LaFarge in double bill this weekend at Savannah Music Festival

Earlier this year, Bruce Springsteen twice said in national radio interviews that he loves the songs of Savannah native Kristina Train. Our post about the praise from The Boss drew more views than almost any other thing we’ve put on…

Check out the coverage at The Guardian’s music blog about Johnny Cash’s “lost” album from the 1980s, Out Among the Stars, which goes on sale next week. There’s commentary there by Cash’s son John Carter Cash about each track. Some…

Larry Jack did take the stage, hearing is believing.

Hey guys, Due to popular demand, I have inserted the audio of my (thankfully brief) guitar solo at the Peelander-Z Savannah Stopover show. I guess they assumed that since I was an old guy at the show, I could hold…
