At Music Fog, we usually work in secret. Sequestered on tour buses, in green rooms, and other undisclosed locations, we keep our methods and our madness away from prying eyes.

But this week is different. We're at Threadgill's World Headquarters in Austin for four full days, recording not just in plain sight, but in front of a live audience. We made it through the first day of performances, featuring an array of amazing Americana music artists, plus a few surprises and special guests. You'll see all of that in great detail in future posts, but first, we wanted to bring you a quick overview.

Through the miracle of modern technology, we're proud to present a full day of Fog in less time than it takes to zap a frozen burrito. Keep an eye out for our new mascot, Pedro Tito -- he's hopping around onstage with the rest of us. So if you're one of those brave souls who likes to see how the sausage gets made...click away. And if you're in Austin, we've still got three more days of music down here at Threadgill's!
