May Playlist: Once You’ve Loved Somebody, or The Dixie Chicks and How They Made Us
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to talk about a band. On the surface, this is a simple story of three Texas gals — a fiddler, a strings player, and a singer — who found each other and started making music. They released four albums, toured the world, ran into some hot water with…

Inspiration Tuesday: The Sun Shines Bright
April is upon us, which means our favorite holiday is just around the corner. That’s right, Derby time is upon us! So our inspiration this month comes from our old Kentucky home — where the sun shines bright and the meadow’s in the bloom, and where we always wish we were this time of year. We’re…

April Playlist: Sexy Getting Ready Songs
It’s finally April, y’all, and the rising mercury means we’re ready to leave our caves of winter hibernation and hit the town! Now for us that means our favorite bar and not necessarily “Da Club” (If you’ve met us, you know we’re not really club people…unless we’re in Europe, and then it’s a whole new…

March Round Up
Oh March, you topsy turvy month of lions and lambs, sunshine and snow, steaming hot lattes and iced coffee on the rocks, you really took us for a roller coaster ride. We’ve been busy of late — with work, with friends, with life — and your ups and downs left us feeling discombobulated at times,…

March Playlist: When Words Fail
Over the months, we’ve brought you playlists of love songs and sidewalk stompers, rainy day tunes and Broadway favorites. These songs told of sloppy seconds and Kentucky showers, dragons and stars and blisters in the sun. But what about the moments when you don’t want your music to say anything at all, when a piano…

5 Reasons We Love The Secret Sisters
We first discovered The Secret Sisters at our hometown music festival, Forecastle, many years ago. We ventured onto the grass by the Bourbon Lodge (yes, that’s a thing we have in Kentucky — a lodge just for bourbon) during a lull in our schedules, and lucky for us, we happened to witness Laura and Lydia Rogers…

Inspiration Tuesday: If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out
For this month’s inspiration, we’re looking to music. As we search for our voice and attempt to march to the beat of our own drum, these are the songs (and books and videos and etc.) in our ears and in our hearts that help us march unto the breach of a new year with confidence and…

December Round Up
Goodness gracious, y’all. The calendar tells us there are a scant two days left in 2015, and we suppose it must be true. This year was hard and it was fun, filled with new beginnings and unknowns. We write to you one year older than on January 1st, and we hope perhaps a bit wiser,…

Inspiration Tuesday: Just Like the Ones We Used to Know
Temperatures are unseasonably warm here in the city, and while we’d be thrilled with this kind of reprieve come January or February, at this holly jolly time of year we’re missing the crisp, cold weather that usually graces us in the weeks leading up to the holidays. Somehow, without our cozy gloves and fluffy hats,…
