Live & Reel

Posted Tue September 27, 2011

Live & Reel is a new video series consisting of “live, genuine, mostly acoustic, in-studio perfor­mances, representing the quality of the independent music scene in Nashville” that has been put together by the folks at Sinizine and Reel Recording. The first session features two tracks, one from Evan P. Donohue and one from Natalie Prass.

This may be old news to many readers, as it was posted to the Internet more than 12 days ago, but I just keep coming back to that Donohue performance. There’s even a bonus track if you sign their mailing list.. and I can’t stop listening to both. So, if you’ve slept on this whole thing up to now you’ve got a chance to redeem yourself; go enjoy.

SoundLand 2011 Recap

Posted Mon September 26, 2011

I think it’s safe to say that this years SoundLand festival was a success. Seeing the massive crowds of people at the 12 Ave Block Party Stage and Cannery Row night after night, the phenomenal lineup at the Neuhoff Factory Complex and the fact that I physically couldn’t see everything I wanted to in any given night locks it in as delivering on all fronts.

I won’t break down the individual shows that I took in, as The Cream typically tackles that much more eloquently than I ever could, but if you’re looking to relive the experience in some capacity please point your browsers over to SoundLandPhotos.com. Jonathon Kingsbury and his crew of relentless photographers did an impeccable job of capturing 99% of everything going on.
