Just a quick blog post about how a now Woodie Award winning artist is hitting the road next week to start an acoustic tour. 

Tour Dates:

Chelsea again just trying to crank out another blog so I can get back into the swing of things. Recently one of my favorite British bands…..stopped being a band. Thanksgiving day I saw on twitter that they had updated their blog and to check it out for some important news. Thinking that it could be another tour announcement I decided to read and was almost brought to tears. Go:Audio was a band I wanted to see in my lifetime but I guess I'll now never get the chance. On to discovering the next upcoming British alternative band…hopefully this one will stay together.

Why yes, person who never uses spaces when they speak, yes I am. 

I have decided to start logging in and leaving short posts to get the word out about what the other half [and by other i mean way more awesome] of Dad Car Radio. Dads name is just in the title for the image. 

Before I go into artists who are way more well known that I like I want to write up a post about someone who is not getting nearly enough attention. When not on tour solo or with best friend and roomate [Christofer Drew] Carter Hulsey is making music in Joplin Misourri. 

What makes him unique is that it can be completely universal to any age group and the sound is able to range over a few different music genres. On Carters myspace he is listed as Acoustic/Folk but while listening to him, especially live, you're able to hear a hint of alternative pop at times and his voice as the sweet mix of country in it. Although on his last tour he and his band were the first opening act they were able to keep the audience engaged and in the two shows I went to during the tour the audience didn't ever try to talk over them. His songs are sweet and make you wish there was a guy like him in your town. I took a video of "Parade" which I highly reccomend but my personal favorite song by him is 'before we go down'

Check out Carter at http://www.myspace.com/carterhulsey

This may be the laziest post ever done on Dad’s Car Radio, I will now direct you to an EXCELLENT Halloween playlist curated entirelyby someone else. My thanks to Henry Mortimer.

Who Knew? 

I alway thought Brian seemed pretty cool, but his wide ranging music knowledge and interst literally blew my mind. 

Neil Young played a concert in Hyde Park London the other night and encored with the Beatles "A Day in the Life" ,which he has been known to do over the years. This time he is joined onstage by Paul McCartney. What a glorious pairing and joyous performance. Pure Heart and Soul and a thrashing crashing Neil Young ending, too. Wow, just Wow.
