Tractor Tavern Tips
I was hanging out with my friend Greg who books the Tractor Tavern at the Ryan Bingham show last week and he started telling me about some of the great music that he’s been enjoying recently.
He sent me over a list of links and I’ve been researching and listening to these bands for the last few days. It’s times like this that I appreciate great writing and the gift that the ability to put the feelings of music into words is. I wanted more than ever to be able to sit down and do each of these artists justice with a quality No Depression style review or feature. But sadly the ability to write about music isn’t one of the gifts I was given so this will have to do.
Frontier Ruckus- I am absolutely loving this band! I’m hooked. They are on tour now so check out the link to their My Space page and see if they’ll be in your town soon.
Gregory Alan Isakov- This is probably my favorite cd of the year so far. Kim and I have both written about how great he is on the site previously. If you haven’t checked him out yet take a listen and buy the record.
Austin Hartley Leonard- Haven’t spent as much time with this, but really like what I’ve heard so far. There is a good bio on his My Space page so check out the link.
Marcus Foster and Pufferfish haven’t had time to really delve into these two yet, but if they are half as good as the three above I’ll be happy.
