Jay Farrar

I think Jay and Gary played yesterday in Carbondale, Illinois, and today in Hannibal, Missouri. Anyone reporting in?

This is tomorrow. Anyone gonna be there? Now we need someone to step up and go see Jay & Gary at the Roots N Blues N BBQ Festival in Columbia MO on Sept. 26th, and then post a review. Seems like someone out there ought to be interested in this lineup: Jay Avett Brothers Amos Lee John Prine Roseanne ...

Yep. Wonder if people remember the fiddle, banjo, accordion, and steel guitar that are on Trace? And even Anodyne, if you want to go further back? Fer cryin out loud, No Depression was a Carter Family song. These "honky tonk leanings" go all the way back to the beginning. They have just come out pre...

Both Hoping Machine and Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad were highlights of the show. He mentioned before playing those two songs back-to-back that he was at the Woody Guthrie portion of the show. He briefly explained to the crowd how he got the lyrics to Hoping Machine from Nora Guthrie. Playing in ...

Thanks so much for all this! You didn't happen to get video of 'Going Down the Road Feeling Bad', did you? That must've been sweet! Tim in the ATL I didn't, but I wish now that I would have! I didn't have a lot of room on my phone and I was afraid I was going to run out of memory, so I was kind of ...

Sorry, some of these videos are not complete, and there is a little bit of shakiness going on. I am not the best videographer in the world by any means.

What a fantastic day in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The day started out raining cats and dogs - cloudy, cool, wet. No thunder or lightning, though. I called the Woody Guthrie Center and they advised that the show would go on. There were multiple artists playing today: Garrett Lebeau, Vance Gilbert, Jimmy LaFav...

The Lord willin' and the creek don't rise, I'll be at the show in Tulsa this Saturday. I mean that somewhat literally, as we are forecast to have heavy thunderstorms this weekend. Since this is scheduled to be a daytime outdoor concert, I'm not sure what the weather contingency plan is, but I guess ...

So what about justice? A word I've always been indifferent about. Came upon a quote that made me feel better about accepting both sides of this coin. "There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.' -Elie Wiesel As for the Geor...

I believe the President's comments were sincere although they may not have been received that way by some. Sharpton on the other hand is an opportunist, he thrives on these situations. I believe the President was sincere as well. My problem is he is very opportunistic (as is every politician) about...

Sorry, I don't like football.

But I'll talk about soccer any time y'all want to.

'Merica.

Grindstone again. Looks like the same setlist as Tulsa with one change - Medication instead of Voodoo Candle.

Here's Jay's setlist from tonight's show in Tulsa, at Cain's Ballroom ("Home of Bob Wills"): http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5503/9260645332_6a2cddff91_z.jpg Exact same show as earlier in the tour, with the change of 'Grindstone' instead of 'Dust of Daylight'! And for comparison's sake, here is the se...

Great show in Tulsa tonight! No Chickamauga, but we got Grindstone!!

I'll post my pic of the setlist when I get home!
