May 18, 2024 we threw a little party at The Foundry in Waynesboro Va to celebrate 10 years of Shagwüf and we even made an hour-long movie out of it: Shagwüf Sweet Freakfilm.

Madison Square Garden with DMB 2023
Forgot to post photos from my latest trip to Madison Square Garden on November 17 & 18, 2023.
The Hold Steady
My love for The Hold Steady is no secret to anyone that knows me. I first saw them circa 2006 in Ybor City at a dive bar with a little over 100 folks in a very jammed room. Fast forward to Labor Day weekend this year when they played to about 6,000 in the Twin Cities, MN. It’s been quite the journey.

NPR and PBS Links
Regarding Charlottesville Music has become the book project that fittingly won’t ever fade away quietly. This past week I have had the high honor of being featured on Terri Allard’s long-running PBS show Charlottesville Inside-Out and nationally on NPR World Cafe with host Kallao and I going on a walking tour of Charlottesville.
