TODAY'S HAPPENINGS.
First off, check out our friend's The Breedings new record "Fayette"— out today! The Breedings are an Americana brother/sister duo from Kentucky (and indeed aware that they are a brother/sister duo from Kentucky named The Breedings). Their songs are tuneful, melodically rich, beautiful and catchy. Watch their new video for "Calm" and check the new record on iTunes!Secondly, we decided to come to Bowling Green today and we'll be setting up at the Community Farmer's Market this evening. We've got plenty of vegetables and t-shirts available—please come say hi!- Jesse.
GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP...
As many of you know, Hannah and I have spent the last few months living in Nashville trying to save some money. And because we were successful, we are officially moving back to the farm on Sunday! It must be said, however, that none of it would have been possible without our dear friends, The Breedings. Without their generosity, we have no idea what we would have done, and we are forever indebted. The Breedings have some truly inspiring projects in the works, so please follow along! They're not just talented song-writers, but genuinely good people––please join us in supporting them.Two nights ago Erin had us over for a little going away party / to celebrate the book release, which she herself made possible (their generosity knows no bounds). As always, she made an amazing meal...mushroom risotto, spinach puffs, and goat cheese with cherry compote. We're going to miss having these people in our everyday lives––you can probably see why.- Jesse.
LOUISVILLE, CONTINUED.
Many many many months ago, I saw that my favorite Rufus Wainwright was playing a show in Louisville in August and bought tickets the day they went on sale. Last week, Jesse and I were shocked to discover that it was AUGUST somehow....seriously, where did it come from? Luckily, Jesse's mother stepped in and saved the day, watching the farm for us and allowing us to stay a few days in Louisville. We haven't been away from the farm...well, EVER...since we moved here earlier in the year. It was a wonderful treat, a chance to catch up with old friends, listen to some magical music, and eat lots of good food. The trip was mostly full of coffee shops, book stores, Indian food, and maybe even some ice cream. We went to Hillbilly Tea, where we had lunch on our wedding day last December....so delicious. We also saw the movie Beasts of the Southern Wild- suspecting it probably wouldn't make it to the Danville Cinemas 8 anytime soon. It was a BEAUTIFUL film! Basically, we had a great time feeling like "city folks" for a couple days...walking around town, eating brunch, staying out late. But it was quickly back to the farm life for us....chasing down escaped rabbits and harvesting melons and trying to contain the overflowing tomato pile on our kitchen counters. And we wouldn't have it any other way.
WEEKENDER.
If you are looking for a little entertainment this weekend, our friends The Breedings are playing at the brand new bar in downtown Lexington called Henry Clay's Public House tonight and tomorrow. Shows start at 9pm. We went for the opening yesterday and can tell you for a fact the bar has a great atmosphere, cold libations and, most importantly, solid air-conditioning!Hannah and I wont be able to make it, but please feel free to go in our stead and support our lovely and talented buddies. Have a great weekend, send us your rain!- Jesse.
