Our December 9 Broadcast/Easy Ed and Stacy Thornton at Brass Union December 14/Raging Teens December 23/The Nashville Boogie!



Hi, Folks! 

If you missed our December 9 broadcast you can download the (always free) MP3 by clicking here. The songs are listed at the bottom of this blog post, along with a description of what this one was all about. (It was a little different from our normal take.) As always, thanks for listening. 

While I have you, take a look at these upcoming live events!



December 14, 2016: Primitive Sounds at Brass Union is excited to have Stacy Thornton hit the decks with Easy Ed on December 14! Early 8:00 PM start, no cover, excellent menu and cocktails--and lots and lots of cool 45s spinnin' on the decks all night long. More info here.

Brass Union: 70 Union Square in Somerville, MA 02143.



We're super-excited for the Raging Teens' 20th Anniversary Show/Holiday Party on December 23. There will be two separate shows. The late one (with The Roy Sludge Trio and Ten Dollar Mistake) is sold out. There may still be tickets for the early show. Check here. Easy Ed's Record Hop will be spinnin' the wax the whole night! 




Easy Ed's Record Hop will be spinning at the Nashville Boogie, May 18-21, 2107, in Nashville, TN. Check out the cool flier they made for us!
This is an incredible event--80 bands, plus DJs and a huge indoor car shot. See the poster below. Check out the whole line up and reserved tickets at http://www.nashvilleboogie.com/
Thank you, Nashville Boogie, for inviting us to spin. Can't wait!




Here's what we played on the December 9, 2016, show. All selections were 45s from the 200-record road box I bring to live shows in the Boston area.
