Emotionalism or Craft Artistry?
This is not a rant. I promise. See, I’ve had this little battle in my mind for the past several years. It seems like in today’s music industry there’s a line in the sand. Are you an emotional artist or will you craft your music the way a fine violin maker labors over his creations? [...]

No we haven’t forgotten about you. No we’re not breaking up. Yes we still love you. Hahaha, sorry we’ve been incognito everyone. It seems like writing journal entries gets pushed down to the bottom of the list when you’re an indie band trying to gear up for a big tour. I just wanted to let [...]

So here I am, writing a blog on my magic iphone while rolling down the road in the band van (lovingly called Bertha) through the first major winter storm to hit the north/northeast this winter. Sound like fun? Don’t let my rosy description fool you – it’s really a blast. Like Mr. Urban said, we’re [...]

It just takes one step, and I’ll be alright. Oh, but it haunts me how my heart won’t allow even a try Sometimes the first step is the hardest. It’s easier to let your brain believe that trying and failing is worse than wondering “what if.” Its funny how, as a songwriter, we make these [...]

Every now and then something comes along that breaks out the child from shell of the jaded musician I am. Something that restores my faith in commercial music – something that makes me forget that I play music for a job and reminds me that I make music because I’m in LOVE with it. That [...]

After 3 months of battling scheduling conflicts, fly-by-night rehearsals, and hand-making merchandise, we are so excited to be returning to Arizona for a concert in Safford at the Center for the Arts. As Nashville weather turns cold, grey, and messy, it feels like a spiritual renewal to be in the mild AZ sunshine and 65 [...]

I love Riverbend. I make no bones about it. Many look for ways to tear it down; I look for ways to love it, and it isn’t hard to find the positive in the festival. Look no further then Tin Cup Gypsy, my favorite act at Riverbend this year, so far.

Saturday, June 6, 2009
by Bob Payne All this talk about a mystery guest at the Riverbend Festival has the rumor mills churning like crazy. Metallica, U2, Col. Bruce Hampton, Bruce Springsteen, The Beastie Boys, Phish, Snoop Dog. It’s funny how people make the connections in their guesses. Bettye LeVette, who just played on the Unum stage last night, [...]
