Springsteen & E Street's version of "War" from their Live '75-'85 helped 13 yr old me understand what my Dad's generation dealt with during Vietnam. It saddens me we are still dealing with it, but I'm thankful we still have artists with the courage to speak out.

Still writing songs, still happy Spring is here, still have hope.

An all vinyl selection (all beautifully prepared, w/obi strips and more) from the following artists @goldenshoulders.bsky.social (+ signed editions) The Felt Tips The Experimental Pop Band @stephensimmons.bsky.social James Varda T-shirts available too

Ok, 2026, I'm listening...

Many thanks!

I am ready for Fall in Tennessee, it has been a strange year, but Autumn always renews my melancholy soul. 🍁🍂

Thanks, I consider that high praise. Cheers, ~S

October in Europe, almost like the old days

Thank you kindly Good Sir, I'm excited to be back in the EU. Hope to hit the UK again in 2026.

Thanks to Jeremy from @atthehelmpresents.bsky.social for introducing me to this new release by @stephensimmons.bsky.social . You can hear it in Wednesday's edition of @atgdsine.bsky.social and later in my podcast on www.sinefm.com

It's Friday and the 1st single off my new album, DECORATION DAYS, is out everywhere today. You can have a spin here at my @bandcamp.com page: stephensimmons.bandcamp.com/track/decora... Cheers, ~SWS

I put out his 2006 LP, but he’s still making great music (I’ve been lucky enough to hear this album go from demos to final songs). Yep, @stephensimmons.bsky.social has Hunch out for preorder on digital and CD: stephensimmons.bandcamp.com/album/hunch

There are so many wonderful lines in this essay about the creative writing process. @meghanor.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/o...

Lord have mercy, we’ve only made it to April.

Take shelter Nashville. Be safe and check on your friends out there.

Thanks friend. Miss those days bringing the entire band over to Europe. I'm (finally) headed back to NL & DE this October with my guitar player.

Was randomly following @unspunheroes.com and they posted about this @stephensimmons.bsky.social record, checked it out on streaming, liked it, bought it, very impressed, great album and overall package thoughtfully compiled.

Thanks to Ralph McClean at BBC Belfast for giving a huge shout out for @stephensimmons.bsky.social and the vinyl release of Drink Ring Jesus on his 5th Feb show: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I know the fella that wrote those songs 😎 thanks for the kind words Gordon

Excited to be returning to the stage this Saturday. Playing Feb 15th in the Lounge at Eastside Bowl in Madison, TN. My band plays 8-10pm and my bandmate Molly Jewell kicks things off 6-7:30pm with her beautiful songs. ~SWS

One last @matpringle.bsky.social print for the @stephensimmons.bsky.social Unspundle left. This is one of two that were almost sold but then weren't. Signed by Mat and Stephen. Comes with an album. On our Bandcamp. Here's @justplayed.bsky.social's review, btw. To help with decision making. #vinyl

Here's a photo of my and my buddy Eric Fritsch playing a show in VA a few months before the shitshow started back up in the Good Ole US of A. Still looking for the daily strength and grace this January.

I'm all for a platform far away from the broligarchy, but the sheer number of bots on here so early is a bad sign. Outdoors, where I'm headed today, is the only way out of the Matrix it seems.

Many thanks. Also, I love Neil Diamond. That is all. 😎

This weekend was the official vinyl release of Drink Ring Jesus and also want to wish a (belated) happy birthday to my label mate Simon @unspunheroes.com Found this live version from one of my Paris, France gigs many moons ago: youtu.be/28L3d5GKjnA?... being an American is still very complicated.

Lovely review from Dave Esson in the Express today for our release of @stephensimmons.bsky.social Drink Ring Jesus on vinyl.

A lot has changed in 8 months. I kind of forgot I created a Bluesky account. In the meantime, Simon at Unspun Heroes and I have become friends and with his great help, Drink Ring Jesus is set to come out on vinyl.

Hello from Nashville 🎙️
