Writer, recovering journalist, chord jester. I was born in the shadow of a great big tire.
Bravo. Still can’t get over the fact that my old man — also still kicking in his mid-‘90s—used to play with Johnny Williams in Air Force bands when they were both stationed in Newfoundland during the Korean War.

Something for the weekend: Charley Crockett “Kentucky Too Long”
Well, that's it from us for this week, and we leave you with new music - again, the man is like a singles conveyor belt - from critically acclaimed country iconoclast Charley Crockett. In his brand new single Kentucky Too Long, Crockett flicks the strings of his acoustic guitar and notes with some sharp social commentary: “Daddy was in Vietnam.

“Out of the three mass shootings TODAY” is one of the most tragic uniquely-American sentences out there. Most developed countries average zero per year. We have single days where you have to ask “which” when someone talks about a mass shooting.

This is the lead story in the New York Times. If you're in the business of communicating, whether through journalism, commentary, or art, this is the five-alarm fire. People are going to remember who spoke up and who stayed conveniently silent or postured about "neutrality."

Thanks, Americana UK, for writing about my new tune, which at least aspires to honor many sounds & styles and under Americana’s big tent—from Motown to Memphis and a bit of the Big Easy.

Jeff Karoub's "Come Back to Ourselves" pays tribute to music made in Detroit, Memphis, and New Orleans. It's also a soulful collaboration with Darrin James and several musicians at Ann Arbor's Ravine Records. Give it a spin!

Small wins are still wins. Also, my band sold out a small, volunteer-run theater for a weekend show. Keep the faith and find the groove.

Truer words never sung. At least rarely sung. Just saw Welles in Detroit and picked up some major Woody Guthrie vibes. Prophetic, catchy.

This is what we need more of, from
@charliesavage.bsky.social
. Factual reporting on the laws as they are understood to exist, as well as documentation of how Trump has violated them. "If the President does it, its not illegal" is not consistent with a democracy.

I love this recent pic of me by my friend (and bandmate) George Luckey because it reminds me how you’re fortunate as a singer-songwriter to find an audience of any size—and listeners ‘complete the song,’ as Paul Simon said. Playing in a historic mansion is a bonus. Thanks to all who support!
