Some of you are getting this Substack newsletter from me, unexpectedly, for the first time. I’m publishing a book this fall (described below) and in the interest of reaching long-time friends and associates, I’ve taken the liberty of adding a few select email addresses to my free mailing list. I hope that’s okay! It’s a free and infrequent update on my work, with news about the book coming in the year ahead. Unsubscribe with a simple click at the bottom if you wish to.

Saturday’s WMOT festival gives us a fresh reason to pause and think about the fuzzy quantum energy particle that is Aaron Lee Tasjan. He’s a shapeshifter, a rocker and a folkie, a singer and guitar player for the ages, and a mensch beloved by his Nashville community. In the dozen years he’s been in Nashville, he’s released a wildly daring and diverse string of albums.

Episode 322 of The String opens at Skinny Dennis, the impressive new honky tonk that opened in March on Gallatin Road and which I wrote about last month. In its neon glow stood Vincent Neil Emerson, a stout fellow with a youthful face and a proper hat, fronting a five-piece hard country band.

Musical diversity is one important touchstone for our lineups at Roots On The Rivers, and as co-host of The Old Fashioned, I maybe want to say that we’ve been a little light on bluegrass music over these past few years. That all changes on Saturday, May 31, when we bring you two stars of the genre from different generations and styles, the iconic Sam Bush and breakout fiddler, singer and songwriter Bronwyn Keith-Hynes.

Kristina Murray’s country songs stand apart. To be sure, the Nashville artist loves the pedal steel guitar, and everything she does feels kicked-back at home in a honky tonk. Yet she’ll catch you off guard in the twangiest ways. Her debut album’s title cut rides a head bobbing pulse with verses that drone and build tension.

Jesus I come back to this god forsaken website to find that Musk has ordered piles of shit in my notifications - lying posts by the likes of Laura Loomer and Rick Grennell. What a shithole country this is. Find me on Threads. 🤮
In the past 3 weeks, my hopes for Threads have grown considerably, b/c of the music community growing there. Folks I'd love to see active there include @its_adamneely @JasonIsbell @MarissaRMoss @chelywright @Elizabeth_Cook @FionaPrine @SoulCountry1 Check it out. It's better.
I'm having more fun with 400 followers on Threads than I did with 4,000 on Twitter. The music community there has surged there in the past month. It's lively and good natured. No Nazis in sight. If you haven't checked in for a while, do so. https://t.co/FSzs3IFNVN
