Hobocasting far and wide

I know I hardly post here lately — just really busy with other stuff, but I did want to mention something I’m doing daily over on twitter — I’m running a #hobocast, linking a particular show over for folks to stream. I’m at 27 shows or so at this point and have been enjoying it. […]

I really like this one. It was before the music started, in the kitchen.

Andy playing the dobro, Hobo Thanksgiving. Shockenaw Mountain Boys added Adrienne Young for the day out in Ringoes. It rocked.

People Come and Walk Beside Me — Stroudsburg, November 28th, 2008

It’s been a few days since we got back from Stroudsburg, so I figured I’d best get this done now before I forget more. Better late than never, right?
This past weekend saw the yearly gathering of hobos in Stroudsburg, PA, as Railroad Earth pitched its tent in the Sherman Theater for two nights. Since the […]

Scott’s Picks Volume 2, #21

Ahh, nothing like a Stillwater Getaway to get the blood going. One of Skehan’s many fantastic instrumentals, this one showcases all four of the pickers nicely. John, Andy and Timmy all shred on this, and then Todd (who isn’t a rapid flat-picker like Andy) steps up with one of those gorgeous melodic solos. This one […]

Scott’s Picks Volume 2, #20

Today I’m dipping into Todd & Friends territory with Maybe We Will (the old From Good Homes tune), from the March 17th, 2007 (St. Patty’s Day) show. This show is a blast from top to bottom, with the band being made up of Todd, Skehan, Grubb, Dan Myers, and Bill Miller on drums. Lots of great […]

From that great Mexicali Blues run.

Scott’s Picks Volume 2, #19

Let’s go to the recent soundboard for some instrumental love. This time I’m singling out The Green Roofs of Eireann, John’s technically perfect Celtic piece that has become the new opening to Like a Buddha. I absolutely love this one, and everytime I hear it starting at a show, I get a huge grin on […]

Two Years Ago Today

By far one of my favorite shows, the 7.29.06 show at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park was one for the books. It was hot — really hot. The band was drenched in sweat, and so were we. It was the night of the epic six song encore. Jesse from the Hackensaw Boys sat in […]
