Appendix E-J

Musicians are nice when you are nice to them. That is not always true. Sometimes, you just have to be nice to them because it is the thing to do. But other times, being nice is met with treats.

In this case, the treat is a new song from our dear Brooke Waggoner. The e-mail that came with it claimed it as exclusive, but I think that probably went out to many folks. However, it is quite nice.

Her younger brother Phil is a good man, part of the Everyday Joe’s family, and steady musician. Brooke is also a steady musician (methinks it is in the blood) and that steadiness is well portrayed in “Chromates Soft Love” from Brooke’s upcoming release Go Easy Little Doves. Smart brains must also run in the Waggoner blood, because that song title makes my brain hurt. The music, however, does not. Listen below, check out tour dates below that, and then buy Brooke’s new album come Oct. 6

In 2007, Eveyday Joe’s decided to give away a digital-only release compilation CD. That album – Love, Everyday Joe’s – Vol. 1: No More Gloom - was well received by all you wonderful people. It was so well received, in fact, that we’ve decided to do it again.

Enter Love, Everyday Joe’s- Vol. 2: …and a little child will lead them

20 of our favorite musicians have donated songs for your listening enjoyment and overall betterment of being. The album is our Christmas gift to you. We love you very much. Download it, burn it, give it to friends. Cover art is available for all those DIY fiends out there. Click the image below to be taken to the download page.

PASTE Magazine is a nice publication out of Hotlanta that we enjoy. You may even see old issues floating

we're ALMOST as hip as this guy

around Everyday Joe’s now and then.

In the most recent issue, PASTE lists their “26 Emerging Artists You Must Know.” Why 26 and not just 25? Not sure. Perhaps cleverness.

Regardless, the list includes two musicians that Everyday Joe’s does know, and one we almost knew. If it was some sort of test, we’d get full credit for…

Katie Herzig

It seems like it took PASTE long enough to give this lovely lady a mention in their mag. Katie has been performing at Everyday Joe’s since our 5th month of existence. Back then, she was the front-woman for Newcomers Home. Now, she resides in the little-known musical town of Nashvilee, TN and makes music as a solo artist. She’ll be back on the EJ’s stage on September 5th (buy tickets for that here). Back in March, she gave The Appendix a sneak peek at her new album. You can listen to “Songbird” here.

We love Katie very much.

Brooke Waggoner

Brooke is a nice lady that makes lovely music. She first played at Everyday Joe’s in May of 2008. Her younger brother, Philllip, plays in local group The Riflemen (who have a show next Friday at Everyday Joe’s, by the way). Brooke also graced us with an audio treat back in May. Tickle your audio sensories with that here. Hopefully she’ll be back soon. She is one of those folks whose musical caliber is from another planet.

And we might get partial credit for…

Bon Iver

Bon Iver has been making the rounds on music blogs for the past 6 months or so. The man recorded one of the best albums I’ve heard in sometime (For Emma, Forever Ago)  while tending to his family’s cabin in the woods of Wisconsin. Magical things seem to come from isolation at times…and at other times craziness…or perhaps both (here’s lookin’ at you, Brian Wilson).

Once I heard the music of Bon Iver, I began to think of what it would sound like at 144 S. Mason and once I had calmed down a bit I e-mailed his booking agent. Possible dates were spoken of and the excitment was beginning to culminate…then he decided to tour Europe. Can’t blame the guy. Who wants free drinks at New Belgium when you can just go to Belgium?

Either way, it would be fun to have him here. I’ll leave it up to you. Write letters, write e-mails, send cookies. Do what you must.

3 out of 26. Not great on a report card, but alright on the hip train.

Audio treats coming out of our ears, people.

Out of ours and into yours.

This Saturday, the fantastic Brooke Waggoner will make her Everyday Joe’s debut. She makes her home in Nashville and runs around with the likes of Katie Herzig and Mute Math and Bell X1. Could she fall in the “rock star” category? No, because she’s too nice and lovely. Rock stars wouldn’t share a song with us. Very good musicians who will be well-known and probably help save the world share songs.

Show starts at 7 pm. $5 at the door, Dan Craig & The Riflemen will open the night up.

That’s enough out of me. Take a listen to “Hush If You Must.”
