Traveling back to Montreal to end the day two of the festival with Myriam Gendron. She has been making softly mesmerizing musical renditions of Dorothy Parker’s poems. Mama Bird Recording Co and Feeding Tube Records co-released her quietly brilliant album Not So Deep as a Well back in 2014 and it’s an album that I love dearly. Myriam Gendron’s song for this event is a beautiful musical version of Dorothy Parker’s poem Epitaph for a Darling Lady. You can listen to / buy her album on the Mama Bird Recording Co’s Bandcamp. That’s it for tonight. See you here again tomorrow at 7pm (noon EST).

Next we meet up with Matt Harlan presumably on his backyard somewhere in Houston, Texas. Matt is a great singer-songwriter who just released his new album Best Beasts in July 2019 and will play for us the title track of this beautiful record. Pay attention to his t-shirt too, because there’s some of the best life advice anyone can ever give you. I highly recommend listening to that new album, because it has a good heart and contains powerful songwriting. You’ll find it by hitting that bandcamp link below.

Next our anniversary celebration flies over to down under and more precisely Melbourne, Australia. The songs of Anthony Atkinson have been part of this blog since the mid 00s when I first fell in love with the solo albums he put out at the time and I’m thrilled to have him joining this event. Anthony’s first choice Calm and Collected comes from his 2014 album Broken Folks that he made with his band The Running Mates. I had the honor of premiering the music video of the studio version of this song, which you can locate from this link. Stay on the lookout for an encore later during the anniversary week. It will take us further back into the history of this little music blog.

Back in Finland for a beautiful blast from the early days of the blog. The somewhat or at least should-be legendary Finnish indie pop band Harry Hunks had a reunion and simultaneously recorded a video for this anniversary festival. We are all a little older now, but thankfully just as charming as 18 years ago. Here’s Harry Hunks with a song called Happy Birthday and be on the lookout for an encore later during these festivities.

Not a whole lot of links for them anymore in this internet thing-y, but here’s a studio version for The Guy Who Makes Horses Run And The Frogs Fly from youtube.
