This came up in my memories today. #jacklawrence if you check your hashtags: I would like to thank this young gentleman again for playing on all 30 of the songs I released last year.

A shot from the last day of basic tracking for I KNOW A PLACE last July.

The Contact Group: Varnished Suffrages

I felt so honored to be a part of The Contact Group: Varnished Suffrages project: When you go to pick up the new Nashville Scene this week, thumb through LAST WEEK’s issue beside it (lol sorry) to the ‘Another Look’ section. Or read it here. I was very privileged to be a part of this wonderful EP produced by Edd Hurt, long time Nashville Scene writer and local keyboarding and production hero. I sang and played Mellotron on a Randall Bramblett tune — an environmental lament of sorts — and it was great fun. Randall says: “I really love what you all did with No Stone. Very cool vibe all the way around. It’s a mysterious song to me and you guys did the right thing with it. Thanks for pulling it out of the mist.” Check out “No Stone Unturned” (Track 4) at the URL below, and be sure to hear Laure Laferrerie of Red Money singing and playing (unleashed mad genius woman she is) on “Bangkok” and catch Steve Poulton of Altered Statesman in full vibe on “1980” — with Joseph Page adding throughout. Bonus: A fun pic I snapped of Laure, in the snow back in 2020, graces the cover. I also spy Sophie & the Broken Things getting a well-deserved ‘nother look here, too. Enjoy.

Thank you Stephen Trageser & Nashville Scene #randallbramblett #michaelesser

SUNDAY 5/8 LIVE at Vinyl Tap Nashville

JayVe Montgomery, Lauryn Peacock, & Anne Malin LIVE at Vinyl Tap Nashville

JayVe Montgomery
JayVe Montgomery breathes epigenetic listening into wind instruments, bells and stochastic processes to create healing clouds of remembered daydreams. He will be accompanied by a local magnolia cutting playing the music of its demise.

Lauryn Peacock
Lauryn Peacock’s indie/folk/rock compositions constitute sublime sonic modalities dreaming lyrical deeds. To quote an article once written by a magical rabbit: "She is your trusty friend for listening. There is no choice. Her songs will sing."

Anne Malin
Formally conceptual and sonically ambitious, Anne Malin blurs the boundaries between freak folk, experimental country, and indie rock. 'Summer Angel' will release 6/17 via Dear Life Records.

Lauryn Peacock Album Release Feat. Whoa Dakota & Sophie and the Broken Things

The East Room

Thu, Dec 9

7:00pm

FULL DESCRIPTION

There’s a line at the end of “On This Ground,” a song near the middle of Lauryn Peacock’s new LP I Know a Place, that sums up an important truth about her work: “The drama of existence is art.” Across her folk- and rock-schooled catalog, Peacock has fine-tuned her ability to communicate complex experiences and emotional states in ways that words alone can’t quite convey. Peacock doesn’t break these things down into expressions as simple as, say, the three-chord opuses of 1960s psych-rockers The Troggs, but her literate lyricism draws you in as if by magic. The album is Peacock’s third new release this year, following her full-length Theology and two-track Quarantine Love EP. Like the previous two, I Know a Place features other outstanding Nashville musicians like drummer Megan Coleman and bassist Jack Lawrence. She’ll celebrate the release Thursday night at The East Room with help from Whoa Dakota, aka outstanding songsmith Jessica Ott (bringing out a full band in service of some new country-leaning songs), and rocking country outfit Sophie and the Broken Things, who’ll give you a preview of their debut album Delusions of Grandeur ahead of its release in February. 7 p.m. at The East Room, 2412 Gallatin Ave. STEPHEN TRAGESER
