Let's Face The Music

posted October 27, 2020 #

Today we launched a new We Own This Town podcast called Let's Face the Music. The series was conjured up by Ryan Breegle - who previously created Vidalotry and My Fantasy Funeral - and it takes a look at the stories behind the standards of the Great American Songbook.

I must admit that when he introduced the idea to me, I felt very ignorant to the draw of the Great American Songbook. What are the stories to be told? Are there enough stories to fill a season? Fortunately, my doubts were quickly cast aside with the first episode.

Episode one covers the story of "Strange Fruit," an anti-lynching song popularized by Billie Holiday in 1939 that was based on a poem published a few years earlier by Abel Meeropol.

It is a difficult and powerful piece that tackles large issues of race; many of which are sadly relevant today. It is a fascinating story and I am honored to be on board with Ryan to help share them.

The official site is at LetsFaceTheMmusic.show and you can subscribe on Apple, Spotify, Google, Overcast or wherever you like to listen to podcasts.

WOTT MUSIC: The 2020 Halloween Spooktacular

posted October 26, 2020 #

Making a Halloween playlist has been a long tradition for me. It may seem I sputtered off after 2017 but that's not the case! I've just shifted my focus over to my WOTT Music efforts. The newest episode of the show - The 2020 Halloween Spooktacular - may not have the fun catchy title that yk mixes have had in the past but it's every bit as enjoyable.

The mix starts a bit more lighthearted and then descends into darkness, as a good Halloween mix should. You can hear the version without an intro over here if you're not interested in hearing my dulcet tones for a few minutes at the top.

This mix is comprised of 100% local Nashville artists and I'm super happy with how it turned out. Goofy at times, incredibly creepy at others and loads of new music to discover if you like a particular track.

Dive in.
