"I have been lucky to be part of some of the most groundbreaking acts on the British Folk Scene.
I am often told ‘I don’t know how to market you’ or ‘you are before your time’... I never really know what that one means! Yet within
that possibly difficult area come accolades such as ‘it doesn’t matter what I see you do, you always do it well’ and ‘there really is no-one else like you’."

and humorous a cappella songs.

band members Patsy Watchorn and Eamonn Campbell and banjo player Gerry O'Connor under the name of "The Dublin Legends".
He also tours with his sons, James and Robert Cannon.

JP Harris: Is Country Music Turning on Racism and QAnon?
The Daily Beast just did a feature on Nashville country singer JP Harris’ viral single “Take Off Your Tin Foil Hat”. Harris wrote the song after the Nashville bombing and during the insane QAnon ramp up to Biden’s election. The single’s gone viral since, with pop singer Pink picking it up and a bunch of streams. The Daily Beast article is looking at a sea change in country music that’s pushing back against the genre’s historically conservative ties. Right now we’re seeing a movement of many under-the-radar artists reclaiming country music’s radical roots!
“I just wrote out the most absurd histories of all these conspiracies to draw out the comparisons,” Harris said. “I tried to stretch it as far as I could, while keeping it tethered to the absurd shit that these people are saying and outlining on the internet. It seems as we become ever more connected, with an infinite wormhole of information at our fingertips, that as a species we are rapidly losing our ability to discern truth from fiction, our most valuable learned skill of critical thinking, at what could almost be called the genetic level. Our technology is evolving faster than we are.”

GRAMMY® nomination for Thomm Jutz
Mountain Home Music Company congratulates artist Thomm Jutz whose album To Live In Two Worlds Volume 1 has been nominated for a GRAMMY® Award for Best Bluegrass Album. The nomination marks the first for Jutz and the fifth for the label based near Asheville, North Carolina. It is also making him the first immigrant to receive a nomination in that category. "I am so thrilled and excited about this," says Jutz. "Thanks to all the good folks at Mountain Home Music and all the players and writers who contributed to this album."
Peter Cooper — Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum Senior Director, producer and writer — notes "Thomm will dispute this argument with an anxious shake of his ex-German head but he joins Norman Blake and Tony Rice as one of the quiet and graceful heroes of the acoustic guitar. ... If he couldn't play a clean note on the guitar, he'd be a songwriting marvel. And if he couldn't write a song, he'd be a wondrous singer. Against odds and across a vast ocean, Thomm has connected with a disparate culture. He has internalized it, and he has enriched it. He ignored every notion of destiny in favor of practice and intention, and now we can listen to his songs and understand something of ourselves while we tap our feet and nod our own anxious heads."
The legendary Tom T. Hall has said about Jutz, “For years I have hoped that some young man would get off the bus in Nashville with a guitar wrapped in a cellophane dry cleaning bag and bring something new and exciting to the music scene. I know that songwriters and singers don't ride buses anymore unless they own them. As an old songwriter myself, I am pleased that one of my wishes has come true. Thomm Jutz is in town and the town is all the better for it.”
The To Live In Two Worlds collection is unique in that it showcases Jutz’s diverse talents. “I wanted to make another bluegrass record but I also wanted to make a ‘true’ solo record, with just me singing and playing. So I did both,” Jutz said. “The players on these records are my dream team, and I love how the band and solo tracks correspond on these two volumes. From a songwriter’s perspective I feel that this is my best work yet. I’ve found my place with ‘one foot in a different world and one foot here today.’”
Mountain Home's Jon Weisberger adds, "This project went through more than one twist on its way to release, so it’s especially exciting to see it recognized. All of us at Mountain Home Music Company are happy to have played a part in bringing what was always there — Thomm's talent, his unique perspective and his love for history and a good story — to a broader audience."
Thomm Jutz is a songwriter, producer and guitar player whose songs have been recorded by Balsam Range, Chris Jones & The Night Drivers, Terry Baucom, Nanci Griffith, Kim Richey and many more. To date he has had six #1 bluegrass songs and was nominated for IBMA Songwriter Of The Year in 2017, 2018 and 2019. His song “Going Back To Bristol” was nominated for Song Of The Year 2017. He’s the producer and principal songwriter of The 1861 Project, a three-record collection of original songs about the American Civil War. He also co-wrote and produced I Sang The Song, a musical biography of Mac Wiseman featuring John Prine, Alison Krauss, Shawn Camp and many other renowned Bluegrass artists. Jutz has previously released two Bluegrass solo records Volunteer Trail and Crazy If You Let It. He is the recipient of 2 SESAC Awards, an alumnus of both Leadership Music and Leadership Bluegrass, and is an adjunct instructor at Belmont University’s Songwriting program.
Be a Highway Woman - Edition #1
"We hope you enjoy the first edition of the Be a Highway Woman Newsletter. When I took the steps forward to launch this powerful initiative and collaborative with other women in the music industry it was a path that I had been planning for years. Whether you are a female artist, musician or a woman working in the music industry we can all agree that we have been met with resistance, closed doors and at times negative behavior from other women. The spirit of this program is to empower one another through action. Since our launch in September 2020 we are seeing our efforts come to fruition with program development, support from the music industry and outside of our industry. We are very excited for the members of Be a Highway Woman as our roster continues to grow and flourish along with the collaborative programs that the artists are building in this community. Our newsletter will be distributed monthly. If you would like to be added to our subscriber list please send an email to beahighwaywoman@gmail.com. With Sincere Gratitude and Determination, Jill Pavel - Be a Highway Woman
»Since moving to Nashville from Austin, Tx almost 10 years ago now, I’ve seen this city change a whole lot! One of the things that was apparent to me right away back then and still is today is the need for women’s voices and talent in this industry to be heard and seen. That’s why in 2012 I started booking all female singer/songwriter writer rounds once a month with a few of my friends. It grew over the years and we went on to raise money for breast cancer awareness, wounded warriors, Gildas club and many more! From the beginning, I’ve been passionate about bringing women together and cultivating an environment that encourages and uplifts one another because the old saying “there’s strengths in numbers” is certainly true! I’m beyond proud to be involved with “be a Highway woman” and what we stand for. It’s all about taking action and being the change we want to see! It starts with us and we WILL make a difference, I believe it! A motto that my awesome mom came up years ago is, “one girl has a song, together we have a voice.« Drew Haley - The Highway Women
Mission Statement: Be a Highway Woman as a company and community is built on empowering and supporting all female music artists. We are an all inclusive community celebrating all music genres, age, race and sexual orientation. We believe everyone deserves a chance to share their artistry.

Findlay Napier: The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything
Hello Folks.
I'm 42. I've been looking forward to this birthday. I read Hitchhikers Guide when I was in my early teens and from then on Douglas Adams' writing leaked into every area of my life. For example a towel is one of the most massively useful things a touring musician can have. You can use it as a pillow on a dressing room floor; a mattress to cover the filthy dressing room floor; a blanket to keep out the chill when flying; it can be used to stop flight cases smashing the rear windows of a hire car; you can stuff the corners into your ears and wrap the towel around the head as a travel pillow/noise cancelling device; you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.
(This is a misquote. Read the original Douglas Adams quote HERE.)
"He's too hipster. Wig him." Is what the head of makeup said in her thick Belfast accent. I'm not sure if it was praise, insult or both. And so, for less than half a day, I had a full head of hair again.
Last year I was asked to email a verse or two of The Battle of Otterburn to the writers room of the Spanish Princess. They were filming in Bristol and wanted to use a bit of the ballad. "Send a video if you can." I filmed myself singing it and a couple of days later I was being driven onto set in Bristol past the knights in armour, past the horses, past the stage hands in shorts smoking rollups and up to the production caravan.
Here I am in an pub in Edinburgh shortly after the Battle of Flodden but actually in a huge warehouse in Bristol. I'm in season two and it's either episode two or three. (www.starz.com)
