2023 Nashville Tour, Tales from the Road
Ok. I’m gonna be extra real today. It is getting a bit harder to find inspiration this last leg of the trip. First of all, we are still making effort to go out and meet people, play open mics, connect with other musicians, etc. But we are hitting a wall. Someone said to us the...

Well, now that Rudy is officially back home, and we don’t have any more distractions, I SUPPOSE we should get back to work. The first matter of business is getting the AC fixed in our rental house. The past week, it has felt like we were slowly cooking in the crotch of someone’s underwear. A...

Oh my gosh! Our boy was here, and we could barely stop hugging and kissing him long enough to go do things. But we did…even if most of them had to do with eating and getting anywhere inside to beat the heat. In this case, pictures really DO do the trip justice, as most of...

OUR BOY IS COMING HERE TONIGHT!!!!!! Now to remain busy and super-occupied until we pick him up at 12:30 tonight! Let’s do what we do best and go out to play some music. We, of course, had to hit up the Bowery Vault again. I also think we will be there the next two Thursdays...

How did we do this? We came to a town where literally thousands of humans pass through daily, over half of them musicians or artists of some kind. How does Champagne Sunday come into Nashville, play some open mics, a couple of showcases, and then go out to dinner and get recognized and shouted at...

Our first big show in Nashville! We started our morning strong with a big bowl of yogurt and fruit with granola and some Montana coffee. As the morning sun poured in, completely erasing the storms of the past few days, we finished a crossword and chatted about a proper set list for the evening’s gig....

EPIC “Fredeen Adventure Weekend”!!! Our first weekend in Nashville was a wild success. Some guy named Taylor Swift was in town. Seems to be popular with the ladies. Janet Jackson was here and Aladdin was playing to packed audiences all weekend at the TPAC. There were some conferences, races, conventions, all that on top of...

This is part of the exchange that proceeded our gig at The Row tonight… Alyson: “It’s a one-hour set. Usually a mix of covers and originals! They have tip jars out and post your Venmo as well on their board.” Me: “Ok! Great. Sounds fun. One-hour sets are so easy!! We’re used to playing three...

We once played a show in Tacoma with a lovely group of travelers called “Band of Lovers”. They have since disbanded (no pun intended) and gone their own ways. However, one of the ex-members, Dave Strumfeld, has been living and playing in Nashville for a few years and he reached out to us to connect!...
