You knew the second you saw that Beetle that it was time for another installment of Video Wednesday. Actually, maybe you’re new to the blog, and have no idea what the heck The Ghost is talking about. So here’s the deal: sometimes on a Wednesday, I’ll share a bunch of videos on the blog and […]
I once received advice on the Monday Mixteen that it’s good to have a theme for the playlist. Most of the time, I try to heed that advice. In recent playlists, I have focused on musical genres (such as country), promoting events (like my Acoustiganza), or promoting shows happening on a given weekend. To be […]
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 […]
