An announcement was just posted on Derek’s website about his upcoming projects: Derek has two new projects releasing January 30, 2007. Both are collections of songs spanning Derek’s solo career, with highlights from all three of his solo records (She Must And Shall Go Free, I See Things Upside Down, & Mockingbird). One Zero (acoustic) [...]

I’ll be honest: when I review my personal best-of list for albums I’ve gotten in 2006, Matthew Perryman Jones‘s Throwing Punches in the Dark is almost assuredly going to be #1. I have listened to this one so much that it’s really not even funny. Just last night, as I was driving in from Nashville, [...]

The lovely and talented Katy Bowser is the source of our next bootleg MP3. As many of you know, Katy recently married Kenny Hutson and has migrated her jazzy tones more to a bluegrassy/Americana/roots sound. Her 2006 EP, All of My Friends, is a favorite of mine, even at just six songs. This song isn’t [...]

Randall just sent out a newsletter announcing some Christmas discounts on his music. If you don’t have any of his CD’s yet, here’s your chance. Greetings! I hope you all are safe and warm this holiday season. The Annual Christmas show at the Ryman was predictably awesome, and we are now gearing up for a [...]

If it feels like we’ve not covered Billy Cerveny enough here on SPA.net, it’s because we haven’t. It certainly isn’t for lack of talent on his part; I’ve loved Billy’s music for a couple of years now. Billy gave us a great treat back in August with a couple sneak peeks at the sound of [...]

Photos of Andrew Peterson’s Behold The Lamb of God show at Fayetteville, GA on 12/8/2006 featuring fellow Square Pegs Andy Gullahorn, Jill Phillips, Derek Webb, Sandra McCracken, and Eric Peters are now uploaded on Flickr!

Next in our series of great bootleg songs by Square Pegs comes a song from the talented and hilarious Andy Gullahorn. If you’ve never seen Andy play live, you’re missing out; not only is he a great songwriter, but he has a dry wit that makes for side-splitting song introductions. Back in August, he broke [...]

I’ve been thinking lately about how to improve IndieRiver, our bootleg-trading community. I’ve got some things coming in that regard, but I’ll leave that be for now. But one thing that I know I can do, though, is entice you to check out the bootlegs by providing some MP3s from them. So, for the next [...]

Lot of news today, so I’ll just get to it. KatyBowser.com is now oh-fish-ul-lee up and running. Sorry for the false start there yesterday, dear. Katy’s announced that the Americana-on-Tuesday-nights-at-the-Radio-Cafe begin again January 9th and run through the end of February. I’ll attend as many as I can [because I love me some Americana and [...]

Admittedly, I’m way behind the times on this one, but … Katy has settled into her new digs. You’ll want to start at KatyBowser.com and browse about from there. Update: Katy wrote in to let me know that this is sort of a soft launch; they’re still ironing out bugs, contemplating a move to another [...]
