So you all know that July 4th is Independence Day, which marks the anniversary of the U.S. declaring itself its own country. I bet you didn’t know, however, that July 4th is National Country Music Day. It seems appropriate, as I’m not sure there’s a musical style that’s as distinctively American is Country. In honor […]
Since The Ghost resides in North Dallas, it usually takes a bit of a drive to get to most musical destinations. Truth is, there are not many venues that book consistenly solid shows that are north of 635. Certainly one of the stronger of those venues is Six Springs Tavern in Richardson. Six Springs has […]
What a weekend this has been for The Ghost. I want to give a huge thank you to Opening Bell Coffee for letting me host my Acoustiganza there, to all the talented musicians who played, and for everyone who came and supported the local musicians. This weekend promises to be a big one for shows […]
This Thursday marks the 2019 Summer Solstice for the Northern Hemisphere. The sun will shine longer on Thursday than any other day of the year. As the hours of sunlight grow, so does the Monday Mixteen. Today’s playlist clocks in at a hare over two hours, which will almost certainly make it the longest Monday […]
It is The Ghost’s privilege to debut the new video from Relick for “Today Sunshine.” The clip, directed by Shanna Lucas, shows Matt and Amber Hibbard from the band enjoying a day of fun at an amusement park. The day that the video was shot, however, the weather was overcast and rainy. Matt noted how […]
After a long, dry May, June is proving to be a more fruitful month for The Ghost. Not only have I been posting playlists and planning Acoustiganzas, but last Wednesday was my first show on Deep Ellum Radio in more than a minute. Fortunately, many local bands have continued to send their mp3’s to ghost@deepellumradio.com […]
The Ghost may not have said much in the past month, but that does not mean that there have been no new developments in GOBL land. In fact, I have a long overdue show announcement. I will be returning to Opening Bell Coffee on Saturday, June 22nd for another edition of Acoustiganza. There’s even a […]
Alright, so May hasn’t been my month. In fact, this is the first blog post of May, and the entire month happened with zero episodes of GOBL Radio. Here’s hoping that the summer months are kinder to Ghosts. In fact, you can count on more announcements, articles, etc. from GOBL in the coming days and […]
For a week or so, Festify was all the rage on social media. It was an app that created fictitious festival lineups based on one’s Spotify listening habits. One could create a lineup based on the most listened to artists over the course of a month, six months, or one’s entire time on Spotify. The […]
I had some ideas of what to cook up for today’s Monday Mixteen, but I just couldn’t figure out the right musical ingredients for the playlist. On top of that, The Ghost just didn’t feel like serving up the dish of a carefully curated themed playlist. So I did what people do when they’re lazy […]
