Should Be Famous


As most of you know, I haven't done a lot of music publicly in the last couple years (between Seville's birth and Jared's health, it's been a bit much to handle). And of course, the question I get asked most often these days - probably other than "how's it goin'?" and "paper or plastic?" - is something along the lines of "when are you gonna start playing again?" Well... the short answer to that is "maybe soon maybe I think." The real answer to that is long and complicated, and better saved for another post.

But in the meantime I have joined a fun little project as a co-host on the new Should Be Famous podcast. You should check it out. It's a little show where we three hosts (my brother Clayton, a guy named Chris, and I), find what we consider to be good music by people who are not professional musicians - basically, people like us. People who are busy doing real-life kinds of things -- like, say, working a real job, raising children, stuff like that -- but they have some talent or some luck or, in any case, some song that is really worth hearing. But because they're not promoting it, it will never get picked up by a label or a radio station and YOU would never get to hear it. Our quest is to find those songs.

So check out the podcast. The webpage is here: www.shouldbefamous.com or you can subscribe at iTunes directly by clicking HERE.

Hope you enjoy!

P.S. If you know of a great song by a non-professional musician, please let us know. We are finding them almost entirely by word of mouth.

I listened to both episodes. I likes them! It was easy to listen to. I look forward to future episodes. As a side note. We are blessing Cami this Sunday and I was saying to Mia that alot of her cousins are gonna be there. We went through some names of them and then she asked, "is Seville coming too?" I had to tell her unfortunately no and she was disappointed. It makes me sad that she doesn't get to see Seville more often.

Sounds cool! I will have to check it out... in my spare time. :) There's a reason I'm checking blogs at 12am. The only time I get peace and quiet!

Hey I like the pod cast and if you are looking for good musicians that should be famous, check out Sir Anthony's Ghost. Its by my budding Micheal Hanson and his friend in Eugene. Thats my recommendation.
