Stephen Fearing picks up a Juno Award for his latest CD Yellowjacket.
That would be 'out on the towns' as I have been in Austin twice since February. Going to see the Stonehotties tonight at 3rd and Lindsley, a good Nashville gig for them if they can keep it repeating and somehow work to Sunday nights when they broadcast.
Missed Dan Navarro and Joel Rafael at the Bluebird on Thursday night due to family obligations (that dratted day job I have).
Navarro's presence in Nashville got me wondering if the Stonehoney operation is applying for a showcase at the Americana conference--deadline looming. Since I am not in the business, it's purely foolish musing on my part to want to see them blow the AMA away like they did FA!
