Like most people (I think), I had no expectations for Josh Small's previous album, Tall , when I first heard it. One Spring, I was looking-up bands that were playing the first Harvest of Hope and Small's name sounded promising; then I learned he was in Tim Barry's band which upgraded him to Most-Promising. Since seeing Small play live then, and a bunch more times, and listening to that album on every long drive I've done the last few years, Tall has become one of my favorite albums. So, with that, and the fact that Tim Barry's [...]
Last Friday I braved urban flood advisories, torrential rains, high winds and one big ass bridge to join Von for an episode of his podcast, Americana Rock Mix and drink all of his Maduro Brown Ale . The episode is a retrospective of the Suburban Home Records catalog with lots of rambling between me and Von injected between songs. The entire thing clocks in at nearly 2 hours and can be heard here . During the episode you'll hear multiple songs from; I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch [...]

Tomorrow night - Wednesday, March 30 - Josh Small and Snow Panda hit Balliceaux for a night of great music. After last's week avant crusade with Glows in the Dark and Ombak, Spacebomb strikes back at Balliceaux, this time with Josh Small's grit and Snow Panda's gall.

LOL. That "exclusive" shit is douchey as fuck ain't it. I promise it was totally tongue in cheek. Anyhow.... Two and change years ago, on a chilly rainy Saturday afternoon in Denver, a collection of people in town for the Suburban Home Anniversary Party sat in the front lobby of Suburban Home's office watching the likes of Micah Schnabel, Austin Lucas, Tim Barry, Shane Sweeny and Devon Stuart pass around a single acoustic guitar, telling fish stories and singing songs. In the midst of all of this, this little guy takes the guitar, explains the inspiration [...]
A night of folk music in a log cabin surrounded by a bamboo forest and was just the thing to spend a summer's evening. The cozy atmosphere of the cabin's front porch made it feel like summer camp when you had no cares in the world and were just focused on having a good time. The evening started with a performance by Josh Small , whose energy and exuberance could barely be contained in the small space of the cabin. He tuned his way through songs and offered up humorous pieces of wisdom along the way. [...]
This is a neat musical scene we run in. It's a scene where even the biggest and most popular artists can be found sitting at the bar before they go on stage. There are few barriers and less ego between you and the people making the music you love. As a result, should you choose, you can build these miniature friendships with the bands. Don't get me wrong, when I call them "miniature friendships" I don't mean that as a slight, what I mean is that they're not like regular friendships. They're based around small conversations a couple of times [...]
Next month a good chunk of the Suburban Home roster is gonna convene upon Denver for a weekend of music, BBQ, garage sales and plenty of drinking. Having mostly recovered from my revelry up in Minneapolis and still being pretty bitter about Two Cow Garage not coming to the Tampa Bay area, I'm doing what any other stupid fuck with no money and less sense does: I'm quoting Tim Barry, saying "fuck tomorrow and fuck all the yesterday's" and flying to Denver. Yup, good ol' Autopsy IV is gonna exchange flat Florida's heat for Denver's elevation [...]
Looks like a preview of summer is heading our way, with highs getting close to 90 in some places. The unexpected heat is not going to keep the weekend show line-up from happening. It's another full weekend, so I'm going to have to split it up into two posts. This one will cover Friday and those that also hit other places after Friday. Kings of Leon from band's myspace Quite a few big name acts start things Friday and [...]
Avail frontman Tim Barry is bringing his brand of alt-country to Skull Alley tomorrow night with Austin Lucas , Josh Small and The Olympia Three . Given the punk rock connections, I would imagine the crowd will be hopping. It'll be a good time. Tim Barry - Texas Cops Tim Barry - Dog Bumped
The inaugural Harvest of Hope Festival took place this past weekend on St. John's Fairgrounds, just outside of St. Augustine, Florida (the oldest city in the country) and, I am happy to report, it was a resounding success. Not only was the music phenomenal, there seemed to be very few snags (rare for a new festival) and the organizers seemed absolutely thrilled. There was a special vibe in the air all weekend long, due to many of the artists' first-hand involvement in the event. This did not feel like a corporate event, where a large company was paying [...]

This months Lucero message board compilation has hit the internets and thus begins comptober fest. So, put your beer back on ice, pour a whiskey drink and give this bitch a spin. This month sees Jon Snodgrass ( Armchair Martian & Drag the River ) chime in with some selections as well as the usual suspects. It also includes an ridiculous (and by ridiculous I mean completely aweseome) cover of Stayin' Alive. Is this month's any good you ask? Look, any comp that features Electric Six and Muddy Waters on the same [...]

New Wax If Curtis Mayfield had been white and gone the bluegrass route, then he'd sound a lot like Josh Small does on the opening track of his debut album Tall. The song is entitled "Come Down," and Small 's blues-inflected voice serenades us, "Come down all you mistresses, come on down" over jangly acoustic guitar and banjo. A talented multi-instrumentalist, Small has spent time playing in support of punk-rocker turned folkie Tim Barry, who you might know as the singer from Avail. [...]

If you do, know that I usually discuss the inner workings of all of my endeavors for whatever that's worth. [...]
