MyJoogTV - where we pair our favorite musicians with makers of fine wines, brews, spirits, or anything else that is fermented. Plus Daily Videos of live performances are posted throughout each week.
This episode of MyJoogTV features SideOneDummy Records recording artist the Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band in a discussion of cider, country blues, and Charley Patton with Foggy Ridge Cider proprietor Diane Flynt. The episode was filmed during Floydfest X, the celebrated music festival located right on the Blue Ridge Parkway and minutes from Foggy Ridge. Specifically, we discussed cider and apple varieties as well as the band's latest CD: Peyton on Patton. This is the first ever compilation to honor the man who is arguably the father of Delta Blues. In fact, most modern rock music follows a lineage from Patton through Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf to Elvis, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones. To paraphrase the Reverend, "if it wasn't for Patton, we'd be listening to Tony Bennett - all the time". The video is available to download for iTunes and Windows Media Player.

Donna the Buffalo came to town this week and were very considerate to invite us onto the bus to film an episode of MyJoogTV right before their performance at the Rams Head Onstage. We started out discussing music festivals, and in particular, the inaugural Virginia Key Grassroots Festival which will be held February 9-12, 2012 just outside of Miami Beach. Combined with the two Shakori Hills GrassRoots Festival of Music & Dance and the Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival of Music and Dance, the band is working hard in 2012 to bring us some awesome music. We also discussed Donna the Buffalo's relationship with singer-songwriter Jim Lauderdale as well as Tara Nevins' solo release: Wood & Stone. During the session, we enjoyed Cirrus Vodka, a potato vodka distilled in Richmond Virginia. Hope to see you one of the festivals this year. Cheers and as always, the video is available to download for iTunes and Windows Media Player.
