Canceled Shows

Dylan — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 19:09:19 +0000

Heard that about half of the Lillith Fair concerts have been canceled. I don’t know why those people were expecting sellouts at all their shows in this distressed economy. It was some really poor planning on the part of the concert organizers to even book some of those 3rd tier cities. Even more stupid to cancel all the low selling shows, when some of them could have easily been combined.

Check Out Cherry Holmes

Heard a bluegrass band the other day. I was surprised that I liked their music. I’m not normally a fan of bluegrass. But their style was less twangy and more modern in some way. If you have a chance to give them a listen, I’d recommend you grab it.

Tin Pan South

Dylan — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 00:27:52 +0000

This whole week, Nashville’s clubs are dedicated to songwriters. We are hosting the Tin Pan South festival and conference. This is the perfect time to hear the people who write songs perform them the way they wrote them. An all access pass is only $90 for unlimited shows at a dozen different venues. Looking forward to hearing a lot of great music this week.

Billy Joe Shaver

Dylan — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 02:00:58 +0000

Billy Joe Shave is one of the best songwriters ever. His songs have been recorded and performed by hundreds of musicians. His life has been a typical country song, as well. If you get a chance to hear one of his shows, you won’t be disappointed.

Lovers Serenade

For Valentine’s Day, I serenaded my girlfriend from the front yard of her house after she got home from work. I’ve never done anything like that before. It was pretty cool. She loved it, especially since we didn’t get to spend the together, as she had to work all day and has an early shift tomorrow.

First Shot at Tickets

Dylan — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 02:26:52 +0000

When I heard there was going to be a concert at one of the casinos in Tunica, I decided to drive over and buy my tickets right at the box office. I figured I might have a shot at getting better seats than if I used Ticketmaster.

I got to the casino the night before and figured the box office would open at 9:00 am or maybe 10:00. So I got up around 7:00 am, had a big buffet breakfast, and headed over to the box office. When I got there at a couple minutes past 9:00, there was no one in line and no one around except the guy behind the cage. So I walked up and asked for two tickets. But they were sold out already.WTF?

Chicken Fried

Dylan — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 05:25:13 +0000

Great tune by a young band out of Georgia called the Zac Brown Band with their hit song, “Chicken Fried.” The video is being aired on CMT and there are a couple different versions of it. There’s a live band version and the more typical music video. The song is from their current album out, called “The Foundation.”

Zac Brown Band More CMT Music More CMT Music Videos

If you get a chance to see the ZacBrown Band you should go – it’s guaranteed to be a fun show and lots of good times music. These guys are good musicians and good people. Check them out.

House Hold Issues

Dylan — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 21:04:24 +0000

Instead of spending the up and coming weekend shopping for presents, I’ve taken care of all of my shopping, I am going to spend my days doing a few house hold chores that have been neglected. The weather is supposed to be cold and wet, so going out and tossing a football around or shooting hoops is out of the question, so inside duties are calling my name and I am reluctantly going to attempt to answer the call. Nothing major but enough to take up most of the week end I imagine.

Hopefully I can find a buddy or two that will come over and lend a hand, having a second set of hands will make the tasks so much easier and I’ve got plenty of beer and munchies to share for the effort. We will blast a few tunes and take care of business and watch the games that are scheduled to air this weekend.

Jay Leno Going Out on His Own

Dylan — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 20:59:43 +0000

Jay Leno ends his long contract with The Tonight Show come spring of 2009 and is making plans on moving his monologue and music to the 10:00pm time slot. I can’t really imagine how this will all play out, some say it will do good and of course there are lots of critics out there that are all ready finding faults with this new plan of action that Jay is taking. As long as he keeps show casing good quality musicians I’ll be happy.

I’m withholding any comments of judgement at this point, we will all see soon enough.
