I love a good documentary. A well made documentary,whatever the subject can draw you in and captivate you perhaps more than any other genre of movie. I don’t have to be interested in the topic to be interested in the documentary about it. But when I am, it becomes even more an interesting watch.
Somewhere In The Middle centers on five people. Five artists, who aren’t earning millions through their artistic life but they also aren’t one of the millions who gave up because they aren’t making all that money. These five people are ‘somewhere in the middle’.
One of the reasons this doc works so well is that the five people are super likeable. Just nice, normal and relatable people. There’s the painter – Dan McCaw,...

Earlier this month, some of Jackson Browne’s friends, including Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, Bonnie Raitt and many more, covered their favorite Browne tunes for “Looking Into You: A Tribute to Jackson Browne.” The set also included some newer singer/songwriters, like Griffin House and Bob Schneider, with whom he was not as familiar but now considers himself a fan. The release comes at a time when Browne is working on a new album and so he was a little wary of revisiting some of his biggest hits, especially delivered in such an appealing way. “It’s funny because you tend to compete with your younger self anyway. You tend to always try to do something worthy of what you’ve done already,” he said, when we interviewed him last week at the Ascap Pop Awards. He was presenting the Founders Award to Tom Petty. “[The tribute] comes at a time when...

One recurring theme I've encountered while exploring the music industry since moving to Nashville is just how expendable the giant record labels have become. As it turns out, pissing on your customers is a pretty awful business model. Artists are increasingly finding ways to fund their music that not only don't screw over their fans, but actually bring their fans into the production process, and that allow artists to keep more of what they make from their work to boot.
All of the artists who have done "Songs From My Couch" sessions -- Matthew Perryman Jones and Tom House -- have both had rewarding careers while bypassing the major labels. Jones' last album was funded entirely through a Kickstarter campaign. In a couple weeks I'll post videos from our most recent session with Griffin House, who funded his most recent album the same way.

Then, there are the homegrown events like the Cherokee Creek Music Festival, just an hour’s drive from Austin, where last year you could see and hear artists like Jackson Browne (with unexpected guest Don Henley), Keb’ Mo’ and Jack Ingram, or you could have seen this year’s artists like Griffin House, Josh Ritter, Shawn Mullins, Brett Dennen, Amos Lee and Timothy B. Schmidt, another member of The Eagles.
