Kat Myers & the Buzzards Talk New EP with Vents Magazine

Hi Kat, welcome to VENTS! How have you been?

Good thank you! How about you?

Can you talk to us more about your latest single “Reluctant Love”? Did any event, in particular, inspire you to write this song?

During the time that I wrote the song, I was writing a lot of cynical, sarcastic songs and I didn’t want to end up having an album full of songs that made me appear crotchety. So I decided to write a slightly sweet song.

The single comes off your new album Owe Everybody Money – What’s the story behind hte title?

Owe Everybody Money is a lyric in our song “So Kind” and we thought it made for a funny album title, plus it’s slightly true because we spent a lot of money on this EP.

Are you writing about real people and real situations on the EP? If so, do the people know? Have they heard the new music? What has been their reactions?

I’d say that I mostly sing about situations and not necessarily about a particular person. However, if I did write a song about a particular person I don’t think I would necessarily let them know. Unless it was a really nice and flattering song but knowing myself, that probably would not be the case.

What was it like to work with Vance Powell and how did that relationship develop?

Our manager Tom Carolan linked us with Vance and working with him was really great. It all happened very quickly, Vance is a machine!

Moonsville Collective talks LA, new EP with Vents Magazine

Moonsville’s Ryan Welch on LA: “It’s an inspiration, it’s a drag. Its wealthiest places are poor, it’s most tattered neighborhoods are holy. One day you feel at home, and another like foster care, but in a good way. People move around the corner from Skid Row from all over the country to chase their dreams and sip coffee and drink expensive beer. The irony of privilege sharing the same street corner as Jacob, the harmonica playing druggy burnout, is just so conflicting. “Normalcy” is always hanging in the balance. You feel a part of the hype, and you feel a part of the dregs. It’s always on your mind; it always has something to say.” READ MORE…

PopMatter’s Premieres Johnny Dango’s “Strange to Change”

On it, the Austin-based singer-songwriter envelopes himself in mellow and ethereal guitar and pedal-centric tones. A toned-down tune of yearning and reverie, it evokes a melancholic, cosmic vibe that can yet again be called a “reflective honky-tonk in outer space”.

Yet, there’s something more here, too. As the Dango grows deeper into this particular sound that he’s been developing, he is more irreverent, more relaxed and assured that what he’s doing feels as right for him as it always has for our ears.

This newfound confidence beats through the track, especially as it builds in its calming intensity. Near the track’s end, Dango‘s backing vocals layer on top of one another in a Sun King-esque manner as he pleads with himself and the world to “try to smile”. It won’t be surprising if many do when giving this track a listen. He is, after all, growing more into his shoes as folk-rock’s answer to Sturgill Simpson. READ MORE…

Derek Hoke Talks About First Concert Ever with Digital Tour Bus

In this First Concert Ever segment, the Americana artist, Derek Hoke, talks about his first concert ever.

I grew up in a small town in South Carolina. The closest thing to a show when I was growing up was seeing punk bands at a run-down schoolhouse or the local VFW.

My first REAL concert came when my Dad took me to see The Rolling Stones in Clemson, SC. I brought my high school buddy, Scooter (yes, Scooter), along for the experience.

Scooter and I spent the day in the small college town smoking bad weed and wandering through the local shops. I’m sure my Dad was walking around doing the same. We all met up later at the gates for the big show.

Derek Hoke Interviewed by Music City Mike

There’s a lot of ways to make great Americana music. Singer-songwriter Derek Hoke comes at it in a laidback sultry style with smooth vocals and a mellow electric guitar. To me, he’s the Roy Orbison of the East Nashville music scene.

Over the years, Music City has become blessed with some regular weekly events that provide something special on any given night of the week. If it’s a Tuesday night and you’re not at The Basement for “New Faces Nite,” you need to be at “Two Dollar Tues” at The 5 Spot. Hosted by Hoke for seven years, this weekly event has been a showcase for many notable up-and-coming artists as well as a great time to hear Derek’s music.

Hoke had this to say to NPR about the $2 cover charge and $2 beer night: “I call it a speed showcase. Everybody plays five songs, and I tell them to play the ‘best of’ — you know, get up there, kill and get off. There’s somebody coming up right after you, and we have to plow through this thing.”

In addition to his Tuesday night gig, Derek plays festivals and tours in support of his fine musical catalog. 2016’s “Southern Moon” received high praise from both Rolling Stone and the Nashville Scene and his latest, “Bring the Flood” has just been released.
