Two photos from the 20th century: Here I am keeping a PBR just out of Crawford’s reach. And look at that—Sweetman in shorts (!!!) on the High Hat stage. But hey, at least they’re jorts.

Home Team Sounds recently released Crawford’s Down To Move on vinyl, and at Friday the 13th’s RR Party at Flicker Bar you can get your copy. I know because I’m traveling with 5 of them that I was supposed to mail back to Las Vegas after a Nashville visit, but didn’t.

I’m not about to steal Sweet’s thunder by revealing his heavy-hitting band members for this gig, but if you’re dying to know, slide into his DMs or shoot him a text.

See you at the RR Party for issue No. 50 of the RR zine at Flicker Bar this Friday. Doors 7p. Show 8p.

Lew Card is an original member of the Feather Explosion, my first band. He’s also a damn fine songwriter and picker.

In the early aughts he made his way down to Austin, Texas, where he watched countless condos come out of the ground — something Nashvillians know all about. Along the way he played a lot of music, honed his craft, and ran with the best of them.

These days he’s back home in Chattanooga, but on Friday the 13th he’ll be in Athens, Georgia for the RR Party.

Enjoy this photo from the High Hat in 1999, and be sure to get to Flicker Bar on time. Doors 7p, show 8p.
