If you were one of the lucky ones who caught Undertow Orchestra tonight, you know the power that this group yielded on that stage. The Brad P. Family Players opened the show to a silent and friendly crowd, putting on an outstanding performance. Not to be outdone, Vic Chesnutt, Mark Eitzel, David Bazan, Will Johnson, and Scott Danbom took the stage and put in a two-hour performance that left people blissful throughout. Each artist performed songs they or their respective bands have made popular to a near-capacity crowd at the World Famous Hi-Tone. The seemingly unlikely ...
Whenever something comes to town that I just can't drown out, it's important to let you know that its coming. Tonight is such a night, and Undertow Orchestra (featuring Dave Bazan of Pedro The Lion, Vic Chesnutt, Will Johnson of Centro-matic, and Mark Eitzel of American Music Club) will be appearing at the world-famous Hi-Tone in Memphis. Local support will be provided in the form of Memphis's own Brad Postlethwaite (of Snowglobe/Makeshift Recordings). From Undertow's website:This is a very special collaborative tour with David Bazan (Pedro The Lion, Headphones), Vic Chesnutt, Mark Eitzel (American Music Club), and ...
David Bazan, Vic Chesnutt, Mark Eitzel and Will Johnson will be touring together as the Undertow Orchestra. This is a very special collaborative tour with David Bazan (Pedro The Lion, Headphones), Vic Chesnutt, Mark Eitzel (American Music Club), and Will Johnson (Centro-matic) all sharing the stage, rotating between each songwriter’s material, while serving as backing band on various instruments for each other’s tunes. Scott Danbom (Centro-matic) will join the Orchestra on piano and violin. ANOTHER SHOW YOU SHOULD NOT MISS.
Ending off an amazing weekend at The Hi-Tone was a first for Memphis: an appearance by Mark Kozelek of Sun Kil Moon and Red House Painters. I should have known something was going to go down when there was a line outside the Hi-Tone by 9pm, and by 9:30 people had taken it upon themselves to completely re-arrange the chairs and tables inside the venue — primarily pushing chairs right up to the edge of the stage to sit down and watch. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that move before at the ‘Tone, but whatever. For the ...
I really, seriously recommend attending this show. Kozelek is an incredible songwriter, and you will not be disappointed.

…I decided to remedy that starting now. I get tired of hearing people say, “I didn’t know you played music,” and I realized that it’s my own fault for not talking about the fact that I do make music and have for a very long time.
Thanks to Sven, I went over and recorded a couple of tracks today at Powerhouse Studios in Memphis, and they’re (as usual) just some acoustic versions of songs. I figure I will give them away and you guys can listen & track the progress as these songs become something more. ...
Ever since I was small, I have been drawn to the music and the mystery of Neil Young. I could not imagine my life without his music in it, without his concerts, without the inspiration his words, music, and the patterns of his career have given to me. This is the first of two rare Neil Young streams I plan to present to you.Part of being a hunter and collector of beloved music, as most of you know, is giving in to accepting that there are some things we will never be able to find in our lives ...
