Scott Eiden -- AOD

From the artist on this photograph, "Hank Williams, Georgiana, Alabama":
"I took this picture at the childhood home of Hank Williams, Sr. This was his boyhood bed, though the curtains were posthumously donated to the home (it's now a little museum/shrine). The curtains were handmade and show the lyrics and music to the song 'Your Cheatin' Heart.'  There's a really wonderful lady who tends to the home and the souvenirs and things. Also, once a year out back, they have a concert of people singing like Hank Sr."

Please note the bold line regarding the curtains. It's blowing my mind.

Jams -- My Good Ole Tambourine

I can't tell you how excited we are about our first full-length album coming out on APRIL FIRST 2010!! This picture of Stevie Nicks is getting me outrageously pumped up. Details for the show are on the way, so stay tuned... Xo

can't seem to get enough of stop-motion these days...

Jams -- David and Gillian

Check out more incredible stuff that Frannie is working on over at All Songs Considered here

Jams -- The Middle East - Blood video

I've maybe only seen at total of 30 music videos in my life, but this one tops the list as one of my faves. Hope you like...

Jams -- New Record Piles

My recent antiquing trip in the Berkshires was a hit on many levels, one of them being scoring all of these oldies but goodies on vinyl. Mmmm...nice spinning sounds. And for such $avings!!

Jams -- Tickle those Keys!

Elderly couple Fran and Marlo walked into the lobby of the Mayo Clinic for a checkup and spotted a piano. Watch 'em jam! They've been married for a whopping 62 years, and Marlo turned 90 this year.

And now, the less crazy Dylan...

I still have this photograph on my wall from when I was in middle school. I can't believe I'm seeing him live TONIGHT!!

Ps. Do you have this album? With that one song Jolene:
"Well I found out the hard way, I've had my fill
You can't find somebody with his back to a hill
Those big brown eyes, they set off a spark
When you hold me in your arms things don't look so dark
Jolene, Jolene
Baby I am the king and you're the queen"

Bob Dylan - Must Be Santa

Getting fired up for his live show tonight in NYC!!

side note: this video makes me lose my mind-- not sure if it's the reason I haven't been able to sleep for 3 days...

TONIGHT!! Bird Song CD Release Party

Come celebrate the release of quite possibly the best album of the year tonight at Brooklyn's Jalopy Theatre. Heather Masse (fellow Oh Liza Jane-er) will be killing you softly with her songs. And the amazing Mike and Ruthy are opening at 9pm-- it really doesn't get any better than this.

Ps. If you can't make the show, be sure to pick up her album here
**Congrats to Heather-- I'm overflowing with pride and excitement!!**

Jams -- Heather Masse: Bird Song

A beautiful version of Heather's title track off her new solo album (released on November 10, 2009), featuring such talents as Aoife O'Donovan on vocals and Jed Wilson on the keys!!

OLJ Press!

Thanks to all for coming out to our Bookmill show -- it was such a blast. And although I've never read a piece of press with more quotation marks in it, we were still tickled to make it in the paper!

Oh Liza Jane at the Bookmill TONIGHT!!

Like books? Like folk music? How about nice times?! Well then come on out and get your fill tonight at the Montague Bookmill. OLJ starts playing at 8pm. Peep some beautiful fall foliage and come sing along! Xo
