On the final day of our Nashville marathon, the waning hours of the afternoon were filled with exhilarating, explosively talented young bands. Lake Street Dive, New Country Rehab (we haven’t brought you one from them yet, but we will soon), Sunday Valley, and the Farewell Drifters rounded out our three day webcast. These four did our hearts good, brought the magic, and reconfirmed why we do what we do at Music Fog. I'm not saying that the other sets didn’t bring the cool; honestly, we are so lucky to be doing what we do, that we all pinch ourselves at the good fortune to be able to witness the artistry. (Now if we could just accelerate a revenue stream that sustains us, but, whatever, it's still a blast!)
I liked the symbolism of having the Farewell Drifters for the last set of our Marathon. It made for a lovely lyricism. And they were awesome, coming to support the release of their third album, Echo Boom. The song we bring you today is “Tip Of The Iceberg.”
I was much taken with the lyrics, as Zach Bevill writes about being both in the public eye, while having one’s feelings remain hidden; “You hear me sing/you don’t see me bleed.” There are tour dates in the Midwest this month, and then a date at 3rd & Lindsley in Nashville on December 8th. Catch them if you can! Here are Zach Bevill, Joshua Britt, Clayton Britt, Christian Sedelmyer, and Dean Marold, with “Tip Of The Iceberg.”
