Alright party people, it is Friday. And a Friday smack dab in the height of the summer is ready made for good times. I hope you are able to escape early for some chill time at the beach, at poolside, or in a shady spot in the country. The days still feel long and languorous, so take a cue from the heat of the season and let it drive you to the cool. Aaaaah, yes! Maybe the cool can be found inside a tavern, well that’s ok too, just make sure you have a designated driver or can call a cab.

We've got a perfect party tune today. One of those ‘the heck with it, let’s just go have fun’ songs. Patrick Sweany elevates front porch pickin’ to a high art, effortless and evocative. Yes, and it makes you move, you just have to see him!  “Chelsea Swing” is the song, originally released on his 1999 album, I Want To Tell You. Patrick came to see us during last year’s Fall Music Fog Marathon in Nashville at Marathon Recorders. BTW, Music Fog has just announced another Kickstarter campaign to fund a return to Nashville in September for the Americana Fest. If you enjoy what we do, we would love your help, whether by posting, tweeting, or even pledging to become a backer. There are lots of levels of participation for every pocketbook, and we would SO appreciate it. The thing about it is if we don’t hit our goal, we don’t get any of the money. Of course, if we don’t raise the money, we will not be able to attend this year. Thanks in advance for keeping the Americana Revolution torch burning at Music Fog!
