MusicFest Live

Musical Chairs

The music has stopped, and the only seats available are over at our Music Fog site.

Just think of this website as the seasonal gift shop at your area Midwest lake resort: open for business a few weeks out of the year, then boarded up during the off-season.

We'll still post the occasional MusicFest update here, but for the rest of the year the "Americana Revolution" lives here.

Black Tie & Boots Coverage

In case you missed it, we've been posting videos and stories from last night's Black Tie & Boots inaugural ball on the Music Fog blog. Also...we were the only "journalists" drinking in the media center. I guess that ruins any possible partnership with CNN. Dang...

Brandon Jenkins: "Okay, I can die now..."

As promised, we're getting more video up from last week in Steamboat. This time, it's Brandon Jenkins, who was kind enough to play a tune for us in the backstage bus. This is a special song that he wanted to record for us, just in case "something happens to him." Enjoy!

Abbey: Luckenbach Texas Events

While in Steamboat, Jessie Scott got the chance to sit down with Abbey from Luckenbach Texas Events. Great gal!

Randy Rogers Bus Visit

Here's the bus visit we recorded with Randy Rogers at MusicFest last week. Also, if anyone knows where we can find video of the band's performance on Letterman this week, let us know.

Hudson River Plane Crash

I just found out that someone we know was on the plane that crashed in the Hudson River today: Robin Devin Schoepf of 36D Management (Cross Canadian Ragweed, Randy Rogers Band). Thank goodness she is okay, as are all the passengers and crew.

It just goes to show you that you never know what will happen from one day to the next.

Keepin' those folks in our thoughts and prayers!

Wishin' I Was Headin' to DC

I survived MusicFest too...barely!  :)

I'm jealous that Ben, Jim & Jessie get to see the Black Tie & Boots Gala with Texas acts like Jack Ingram, Kevin Fowler and more performing! I would love to see Kevin in a tux! Make sure we see pics and video, guys!

As Jack says, "Keep on Keepin' On!"

Black Tie & Boots

Jessie, Beans, and I just scored credentials for the Black Tie & Boots Inaugural Ball in DC on January 19th. Lots of great artists are coming and we're going to put up as many performances as possible over at the The Music Fog blog. Should be a good time.

Also...if you're looking to relive Steamboat, all of our videos can be found here, or on our YouTube channel. We have even more videos from Steamboat that we're working on, so check back for those. Enjoy!

The Gondola Concert Series, Episode 1

We finally found out what happens when you combine a gondola, a few MusicFest artists, and a random fan. Paula Nelson and George Devore reluctantly agreed to preform in the freezing cold aboard one of Steamboat's finely-appointed gondolas. It was magic. Sheila from Idaho will agree...she answered our Twitter call and was on board for the biggest recording experiment in modern history. Behold...
