I wrote a Substack about one of my fave songwriters, Stuart Adamson, a couple of days after what would have been his 68th birthday. Check it out if you’re inclined. Thanks!

Come see me sing some songs by one of my fave bands, backed by some of my fave people, to benefit one of my fave orgs!

I was honored to be the first guest on the new podcast from @drunkenprayer.bsky.social - hear us discuss authenticity in country music, empathy and me being turned on by Marc Bolan in my late teens.

The most terrifying part of the Netflix Ed Gein show is watching the Anthony Perkins character undergo shock treatment to “cure” himself of homosexuality.

There’s still a Discharge classic for everything happening today…43 years later. Don’t believe me? Check this set list:

Honored to be asked to be on an episode of Welcome to the Woodshed. We talk Roger Miller, my son, Mama, and the godforsaken music industry. Listen up!

Hooray!

John Howie Jr. è tornato e con questa band scintillante alle spalle, fa il suo miglior disco da molti anni a questa parte. Un "saturday night album" perfetto. Uno dei miei eroi. #JohnHowie @johnhowiejr.bsky.social #country #goodnight #buonanotte

Nice to be on here, with some friends, too. Here’s to the lifers! daily.bandcamp.com/best-country...

Somehow we debuted at #6 on the Euro Americana chart- breathing some very rare air with this lineup! Big love and thanks to everyone who’s listen to it.

Raleigh and east NC pals, happy to say I’m on the bill with these two fine folks. Friday 5/2 7:30 @wflisteningroom.bsky.social

I’ve lived in my current house for five years-still occasionally unpacking. Amazing what pops up. 83 was the year I saw Adam in Raleigh.

The Dutch magazine OOR referred to me as an “unsurpassed sideburned bard,” come find out if it’s true! johnhowiejrandtherosewoodbluff.bandcamp.com/album/the-re...

Aha! Thank you!

Got us a new single up now, classic honky tonk vibes, pretty proud of it if I do say so myself! Big love, folks.

As the government works to erase transgender folk and the very idea of gender transition from websites and organizations, it is important to remember the human cost of such erasure is born by all of us. We are poorer for losing these stories, these histories. deepcuts.blog/2023/03/29/i...

New album up for preorder now, we got Laguna blue eco-vinyl and shiny little discs too! 4/18 street date! schoolkidsrecords.com/UPC/63445720...

Happy 111tj birthday to the father of honky tonk. Big love Ernest Tubb!

That moment when you realize that not one pair of footwear in your closet is suitable for the current weather situation.

If any pals are in Winston I’m at the Ramkat with beautiful friends this eve, we’d love to see you. I love you regardless.

I’ve got quite a few, but this one comes to mind:

Weeeell in North Carolina, way back in the hiiiills…

I was asked to say a few things about Reese along with some of my peers. Please check it out. Big love to all.

Reese McHenry and I had talked about duetting on I’d Rather Go Blind forever, we rehearsed it, but it never happened. I don’t have many regrets, but that’s one. Rest in peace, all my love.
