Wrote about Todd Snider, East Nashville and how the more things change, the more they change.

'Ain’t No Running Around It' is about realizing there’s no shortcut in life. We all face setbacks, and everyone has to put in the hard work to achieve something. There’s simply no way around that.

Watch @bertolf.bsky.social & @diederiknomden.bsky.social play the song live.

George Boomsma, who tours and plays as KatherinePriddy's guitarist & backing vocalist, is also a gifted songwriter on his own and recorded Ron Sexsmith's Sneak Out The Back Door, Nick Drake's Place To Be and his own Cashmere Grey, featuring Priddy.
George Boomsma
About a year ago already, I had a brilliant day in De Groeverij – a small record store in Houten, where four musicians recorded a session. The first was Katherine Priddy, there’s two more on their way, but today I’m happy to finally post George Boomsma’s session. Boomsma, who tours and plays as Priddy’s guitarist […]

Watch Joshua Burnside play 'Ghost Of The Bloomfield Road' and a mesmerizing cover of Vampire Weekend's 'Step'.
Joshua Burnside
Life is funny sometimes. When I was planning the sessions at Kilkenny Roots, I reached out and asked if Joshua Burnside would be able to make his way south from Belfast. He wasn’t. But on my way home I noticed he had a show in Utrecht coming up later that same spring. So, the morning […]

Keenan O'Meara played his original 'Devil Never Said His Name', Counting Crows' 'A Long December', and Adrianne Lenker & Buck Meek's 'Kerina'.
Keenan O’Meara
Sometimes the best moments happen when the crowd hasn’t arrived yet. The day Keenan O’Meara walked onto the stage at Amsterdam’s Paradiso for soundcheck, the historic venue was empty. The American songwriter (and filmmaker) from the Catskills was in town supporting I’m With Her (who also recorded a session with us), and after a quick […]
