Appendix E-J

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.
