Routes and Branches Play List 08/21/10

I started today's show with a couple of artists who had birthdays this week. Robert Plant turned 62 and John Hiat turned 58 on Friday.

I threw in some ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd into the mix since they are both coming to the Oregon State Fair in the next couple of weeks. I followed them with some Direks Bently since he is also coming to the state fair.

Robert Earl Keen is performing a couple of shows in Oregon this week. On Tuesday he is Roseburg at their Music on the Half shell series, and the following night in Portland. Blake Phillips recently had a chance to talk with Robert and has done a good job writing up their conversation on his blog http://ourkindofmusic.wordpress.com/. If you're a Robert Earl Keen fan, I totally recommend checking it out.

Routes and Branches Play List 08/07/10

The Band Of Heathens rolled through Eugene this past week and despite the small size of the stage at Sam Bond's Garage they put on a great show. Normally I try to play more of a band before they appear in town, but with my busy summer their show snuck up on me, so I tried to make it up this week by making them my feature artist on this week's show.

The second half of my show, I counted down the top ten albums on this week's Americana charts. The list starts at 4pm. with Jim Lauderdale and finishes with Paul Thorn sitting at number 1 for the past 3 weeks.
