Currently listening to the new album from Moon Taxi. Silver Dream came out on Friday and was celebrated with a livestream event from Nashville. I was able to watch the stream along with a friend who is in Massachusetts. In my experience, Moon Taxi is best served with friends as the band’s infectious and upbeat tunes elicit the kind of happiness and dancing that is augmented when surrounded by others. The new album is exactly the vibe I need right now so doing my best to ride this wave into this next week. Anyone else miss the concert high that would go on for days?
Next week, it’s all about music discovery across the pond. We’ve got three days of music at the Americana Fest UK. It’s also Independent Venue Week in the UK with events every day starting around 4am PST and running into the afternoon, including a continuation of the Scruff of the Neck series from last week (SO good!).
