Kyle Andrews
I love this kid and if I was running a record label, I would sign him in a minute! Another great local Nashville kid with a whole lot of potential.
http://kyleandrews.bandcamp.mu/album/real-blasty
Here is a blurb about him from the latest Grimey's newsletter:
KYLE ANDREWS - Tuesday, January 20 @ 6PM
Nashville-based indie popster Kyle Andrews is primed to release Real Blasty, his latest album. It's set to be the breakthrough record that tells the world about Kyle. "Real Blasty is the breakthrough album. Every element of Andrews' songwriting has matured: the skeleton electronics from the last album have come grown some flesh, the melodies have reached a new height of proverbial sing-along-ness, and the previously too-complacent guitar jangles have given way to almost-rock music" sez NY-based Patrol mag. We celebrate with a free in-store performance on release day!

Be sure to check out his free all ages in-store performance
Also be sure to tune in Saturday Nights at 7pm central on 100.1 fm & Lightning100.com to the Indie Underground Hour. It is hosted weekly by Nashville's own Doyle Davis or as some of you know him D-Funk, who is the co-owner of Grimey's New & Pre-Loved Music. I love when I catch this show on air. Doyle does a tremendous job listening to music and always searching for the single on a record. He rarely dissapoints.
Here are some other cool in-store's you might want to check out:

JASON ISBELL - Monday, February 16 @ 6PM
Jason Isbell has his 2nd full-length solo record ready to hit on Feb. 17, but he'd like you know it's a band record. It's called "Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit". The 400 Unit is his band and on the new album, they invoke the finest southern soul and rock sounds of the ages, from Muscle Shoals-soaked soul to the classic power pop-rock-soul stylings of Big Star and even the pastoral elegance of classic Traffic (who have their own Muscle Shoals connection). The album was recorded at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals ('natch) and we will have Jason and the 400 Unit here the day before release to rock the house! You can also be the first to get your mitts on the new CD while you're here.

DANIEL MARTIN MOORE - Thursday, February 19 @ TBD
Kentucky-based singer/songwriter Daniel Martin Moore had the rare fortune of securing a record deal through an unsolicited demo. On a whim, the Cold Spring native sent his home recordings to Sub Pop Records in January 2007, resulting in a full-length debut for the label just a year later. "Stray Age", the album in question, features the talents of Petra Haden, Jessica Hoop and others. Produced by Joe Chiccarelli (White Stripes, U2, Shins), the album has drawn comparisons to Elliott Smith, Fleet Foxes and other poppy/folky types. Come check out Daniel when he performs an intimate set here in the record store.

GRAMPALL JOOKABOX - Thursday, March 12 @ 6PM
Indianapolis-based Grampall Jookabox, the name of Indianapolis native David "Moose" Adamson's musical project, sounds like a child slurring the words "Grandpa Jukebox." Their sound is difficult to pin down but their latest release, Ropechain, pinwheels kaleidoscopically through old-time spirituals, punk, chain-gang hymnal, deep house, and club music hip-hop, blending these disparate elements into a cohesive and unique synthesis. British music rag Uncut was moved to grant 4 stars in a recent review. Our friends at Indy indie record store Luna Music can't stop raving so we're bringing the Jookabox to Nashville for what's sure to be one of our more memorable in-store performances of the new year.

A great 2008!
Well folks, it has been another great year for your good friend Lt. Dan. With 2009 just over the horizon, I think I should take a quick look back at 2008. My day planner seems to remember the year a little better than I can, so I will start with a review of January 2008.
January was the start of another year and we had a big concert tour that made its way to Nashville, TN. Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters came to Municipal Auditorium, Saturday January 26th. Of course, yours truly was not at the show, instead I was DJing a wedding reception right down the street! My greatest memory from that night was all the static electricity in the air! I had most of my music on the hard drive of my laptop and I'm pretty certain that the static energy caused my computer to crash. It booted back up and I didn't miss a beat, but that was a pretty big scare. I will have everything on cd as well from now on. In fact, I have been using my ipod as a backup as well. Have to have lots of tricks up your sleave and be ready for the unexpected when you are a wedding DJ! It was a fun night but obviously I would have loved to been at the Foo Fighters concert. My good friend and fellow employee Jayson Chalfant was their with his brother Joel and had the opportunity to interview Dave Grohl before the show. We aired it Monday morning and then included it a few weeks later during an episode of Music Business Radio. Click Here to listen
Wow..I have run out of time for now but promise to update soon...
ok, here is the next update...
I am at the station recording in part 4 of this weekends episode of Music Business Radio. It is a repeat from earlier in the year with Allen Butler. Which means I have a few minutes for blogging.
Taking a peak into the month of February reminds me of spending Mardis Gras at the Mercy Lounge this year. What a trip that was! Jojo from Widespread Panic was playing with his Mardis Gras band and I was scheduled to do an interview before the show. I was waiting for him backstage when my wife called my cell phone to warn me there was a tornado on the way! They ended up evacuating us into the Cannery downstairs before Jojo finally arrived. Eventually they brought us back upstairs and I got to do a quick interview with Jojo. It was fun and is on a DAT tape somewhere...need to add converting that to an mp3 to my list of things to do! I got to do some other fun interviews in February. Ingrid Michaelson was on my show and I interviewed Webb Wilder while I covered for Mary on the morning show. Webb is great and is also a Music Business Radio alumni.
Looks like I am running out of time again for now but promise to update.
Also, please feel free to send me an email if you enjoy reading my blog.
