The everybodyfields Interview - January 19, 2008

Jared and the boys had a chance to sit down with Jill Andrews and Sam Quinn with The everybodyfields in Bristol this past Saturday, January 19, 2008. The band was playing a performance at the Bristol Public Library as part of the Bristol Rhythm and Roots monthly concert and discuss their new record, the upcoming tour and the new band that performs at the annual festival.

Enjoy!

Places, People, Music, Etc..

There has been an awful lot of talk on the Buzz about what is happening in downtown Johnson City with Gatsby’s, and whether or not it is changing hands, and whose hands it is changing to, etc. And that has been the gist of it. A whole lot of talk about it. And talk is healthy, right?!? [Read more →]

Theme Songs

I think everyone deserves a theme song. All the coolest cats have their own songs; songs that follow them walking down the street, or songs that play when they drive down the road, or when they jump out of airplanes and whoop the crap out of some rough and tumble S.O.G. I know this only happens in the movies, but I like to think we all deserve a little fiction now and again.

If I had a theme song, I’d like to think it was cool or funky, but it would probably be more like bad FM album rock from the low-fi, far-too-sensitive ’70’s. Instead of Isaac Hayes, I’d be more like Joey Scarborough or Bread.  So sad.

If I could choose a theme song, though, what would be the most pertinent aspect of that song that I would feel captured me best? Would I want a cool instrumental, or lyrics that explained me? Would I want it to be hard as nails, or smooth as hell? Deep questions, I’m sure, but ones that I feel I could answer if given the opportunity…and now the opportunity is here. I have keyboard, time, and the ability to choose - what more could I ask for. (I suggest everyone with the appropriate time and inclination do the same - pick a song and pretend it plays every morning as you leave the house.) [Read more →]
