Heading to Leavenworth this weekend to close one chapter and start the next. Come see The Staxx Brothers hold court at one of our favorite venues and hangs of all time, der Hinterhof.
Since Chris Mcfann and Erin Mikkelsen bought the place they put a lot of love into making the bar a home for local, regional, and even national acts.
These two have done so much for myself and band, as friends and fans building a business, trying balance love of their favorite acts, and the long term good of serving the music, with keeping the lights up and the heat on.
In this next chapter of my career I want to do even more for folks like Chris & Erin. They have always treated us like kings and queens of our little Hard Ass Soul scene.
I have been talking to a lot of wise folks about my next moves and what I should do. This weekend it is one of those moments you go up atop a mountain and see some things more clearly. Above the fog. Into the clouds.
This is a magical place I hope to return to and shout about on the beer soaked stages of Germany.
“There was once a little German town that woke up one dew soaked morning, due west of the alpine reaches of upper Bavaria…very far West.”
Davin’s new song has become a global earworm and Caribbean dancehall hit. Listen here on Reggaeville: DAVIN MICHAEL STEDMAN & ANTHONY RED ROSE – FREE YOUR MIND FEAT. SLY & ROBBIE WITH LENKY MARSDEN. The video is now available on Youtube.
– Musician and writer Davin Michael Stedman has many ventures, such as the AMAZING blog, 100milesofmusic.com, and is one of the driving forces behind the Staxx Brothers. This past spring he spent weeks networking in and reporting from Kingston, Jamaica. He will return there soon for more recording. His single with British band Sherlock Soul is now available as well.
