“Small Photograph”, Mark Stuart, Byron’s Bar, 6/24/22

audio: Small Photograph

Mark Stuart of Nashville, TN (not the Christian singer by the same name) turned in a great night at Byron’s Bar, Pomeroy, Ia on 6/24/22. We’ll have the full performance up at Archive in due time, but one song in particular caught my attention because it sounded very much like the Amazing Rhythm Aces. Mark confirmed to me that he was a Russell Smith fan, and I think that’s pretty obvious to anyone else who listens to the Aces (such as myself).

Union County Trio “Losing My Religion” (R.E.M. 1991) 5/15/22 Byron’s Bar

We’ve encountered a little backlog in our projects list, so it will take a while to get this full show up, but in the meantime, here’s a little sample of what you missed if you weren’t there (we mixed this to mono):

Amelia White “Nowhere Man” 4/10/22 Byron’s Bar, Pomeroy, IA

We may not have an upload to Archive for this show-at least not until we have a further discussion with Amelia White about that (she has a trepidation about it).

In the meantime, here’s a little number she did that we just have to share. It’s atypical of the rest of the performance:

Eddie Turner “Hey Joe” 4/17/22 Byron’s Bar, Pomeroy, IA

Sorry for the shaky stuff and jumping around; didn’t realize it was going to be a fourteen minute video, and it’s missing a couple of intro minutes at that…….anyway, that’s a long time to try to hold something still without a tripod…..
