What a day. Got to see Jason Isbell…one of the best songwriters on the fucking planet… play an acoustic set from 8ft away and I’m still shaking. Bucket list material. Friends…When the opportunity to do some cool shit comes around, don’t make excuses. DIVE ON IT. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great debut show from @mighty_poplar last night in Boulder. Two fiddles for the price of one, and @CritterEldridge on mandolin for a Leonard Cohen cover. What a treat. Thanks fellas for an amazing night of music.
If there was ever a case for the afterlife it’s so these two can meet up tonight. Smoke cigarettes, have a drink, spin yarns & make everyone up there feel whole again.
Lightfoot and Prine. Conjurers of light and dark.Two of the most brilliant of storytellers.

That time John Prine told a story in my living room about meeting his songwriting hero at Toronto’s Riverboat Cafe in Yorkville around 1971. The Riverboat was legendary for the artists that came through - Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, John Lee Hooker, Simon and Garunkel and that songwriting hero - Gordon Lightfoot.
Gordon recently had to call off his tour dates this year due to health-related issues. Wishing him all the best.
