This Week in Drifting – 002

One of the best live shows I've ever been to was the DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist "Renegades of Rhythm tour, where they used Afrika Bambaataa's original vinyl. Amazing. I can't believe some of the shows I've been fortunate to see.

What Does Your Heart Say?

How can we breathe, and appreciate each day, and do at least one thing that brings us or someone else some joy? How can we overcome the haters, the internal critic, the impostor syndrome?

Dark Days

It's important to remember that even on dark and rainy days, there is still opportunity to enjoy the water.

New Music Find: The Veils

Something about The Veils just hits right in this moment. The drum beat across their Total Depravity album is outstanding.

New Music: The Lone Bellow

Another band where I cannot recall exactly when the first time I heard a song was. But, this version of "For What It's Worth" is lovely and popped back up in my playlist today. From the lead singer, Zach Williams: > “I do hope someone will

New Music – The Steeldrivers

As a big Chris Stapleton fan, I'm surprised I didn't know about this before today, when "Where Rainbows Never Die" popped up in my queue in Spotify. The Steeldrivers [https://thesteeldrivers.com/] are a bluegrass band out of Nashville. Apparently Stapleton was their lead

New Music — Marcus King

I do not remember the first time I heard Marcus King [https://marcuskingband.com/bio], but damn can he sing and he plays a mean guitar. He's featured on Ashland Craft's new single, "Highway Like Me [https://open.spotify.com/track/1X2kXnXDrzskT3rFuLTU7D?si=7b3a320215df49b9]."

New Music: "Little Bit Sweet" by The Wood Brothers

I came across this song via the Gary Clark, Jr. Radio playlist on Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1E4ENBUe96rvif?si=VnpNuYloRDmeg9JRUVU8Xg] . It's a little bit sweet It's a little bit bitter Bittersweet That's the way Love is made to be A lovely and

Michael Franti – New Music Friday #004

I have been a huge fan of Michael Franti & Spearhead ever since I saw the flash mob scene to “Say Hey” in “Weeds” way back in 2009. My daughter and I listened to that song on the way to school for years after. It’s on my celebration of

The Black Pumas – New Music Friday #003

I cannot recall when I first discovered The Black Pumas [https://www.theblackpumas.com]. But I remember that I was immediately hooked. They are excellent song writers and play a wonderfully unique funky soul. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. From "Colors": It'

New Music – Do Wrong Right

A buddy of mine went to a concert recently and saw The Devil Makes Three [http://thedevilmakesthree.com/] and mentioned it in a post. I had never heard of them, so I did a quick search and found the song, “Do Wrong Right” and loved it. > Well most things
