<p>LaGrunge Music: Music is like breathing. There's nothing more essential to surviving the bad times or celebrating the good ones </p>
<p>Drooble Radio: What is your music dream? </p>
<p>LaGrunge Music: To write a song that lasts beyond me </p>
<p>Drooble Radio: If you could change the world - what would you start with? </p>
<p>LaGrunge Music: I'd rid the world of hate and ignorance and celebrate love and understanding </p>
<p>Drooble Radio: Which is the most memorable song from your childhood? </p>
<p>LaGrunge Music: Thin Lizzy The Cowboy Song </p>
<p>Drooble Radio: Who are your favorite musical artists or bands? </p>
<p>LaGrunge Music: ZZ Top, Charlie Daniels, The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blackberry Smoke, Alice In Chains and Soundgarden</p>
<p>Drooble Radio: What inspires you to make music? </p>
<p>LaGrunge Music: Life and its experiences, music, just the ambition to connect to new people and create...actually I can't think of 1 good reason not to. </p>
<p>Drooble Radio: What is the message you want to send with your music? </p>
<p>LaGrunge Music: It depends on the song but generally I want folks to celebrate life. Music can help us get through the bad times and helps us celebrate the good ones </p>
<p>Drooble Radio: How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience? </p>
<p>LaGrunge Music: It's my favorite place to be. There's just energy there. There is nothing else like it in my humble opinion. There's a very deep connection that happens when people get you and they know the words to your songs because they connect with you like you were speaking for them </p>
<p>Drooble Radio: How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved? </p>
<p>LaGrunge Music: I think it's what you make it but in my eyes the days of being a pompous jerk celebrity rockstar are over. I think there was a time folks ate that up. I'm not sure that works anymore and at the very least it never worked for me. Success to me is being able to do the music I want to do without compromise and connect with people who can identify with the band and I. I'd like to circle further and further out and eventually spend more time on the road unless we are recording and then COVID happened and I'm just thankful I have a home studio and still make music with friends. </p>
<p>Drooble Radio: What do you think of Drooble? </p>
<p>LaGrunge Music: Update: I genuinely like it here and have enjoyed connecting with a few folks to work on collaborations and that ain't bad. So far it seems like a community willing to help creatives connect. I'm the #1 contributor this week so I keep coming back and I don't think I'd be here if I didn't have something to offer and visa versa which is super healthy. I do enjoy the Drooblillions </p>
<p>Drooble Radio: What frustrates you most as a musician? </p>
<p>LaGrunge Music: Sometimes there are obstacles that seem impossible to pass and those situations are definitely frustrating. I think you have to choose your battles. Also breaking down a very large goal into small reachable goals is called a plan not a dream but its good to have both aligned accordingly </p>
<p>Drooble Radio: Do you support your local scene as a fan? How? </p>
<p>LaGrunge Music: I go out and see other bands when I'm not playing. My top 5 albums are all tied to the local scene </p>
<p>Drooble Radio: What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience? </p>
<p>LaGrunge Music: Patience and good music, I think it's more about developing a relationship with people who identify with you and your songs. I think the old model expects if you play it folks will come. I think now it's more about giving people an experience a memory something that lasts. Give them a reason to come they've already been to the building. Grit-I think there's a tenacity component in play that is 100% necessary if you want to make music your life's work. Be open to opportunities and be willing to try new things. You may find your dream evolves over time or you may make an action plan to break down your large dreams and see them realized in a plan of action </p>
<p>Drooble Radio: Share some awesome artists that we’ve never heard of. </p>

<p>Speaking of support if you are one of our YouTube Subscribers I just put up Sundays Video if you're interested in watching it early. If you're interested in seeing and hearing our new music and or what we are working on next sign up to get our emailer <a contents="https://lagrungemusic.com/the-dirty-news-letter" data-link-label="The Dirty News Letter" data-link-type="page" href="/the-dirty-news-letter" target="_blank">https://lagrungemusic.com/the-dirty-news-letter</a> If you're already an email subscriber the last email I sent you will have the new video in the playlist link I suggested you bookmark. Probably look at the bottom because it runs to the top when it goes public. It will probably go public Saturday. I just realized I wrote all that and never said what IT was.<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/399380/851c45d3b439827cf93167a6f620d4f48fea2077/original/a68ac674-02b3-4903-946d-17c1148cf1db.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" />What Hurts The Most was written by Jeffery Steele and Steve Robson and you may have heard Rascal Flatts do it but it really caught my ear when I heard Aaron Lewis(former Staind frontman) cover it. This year as well as doing suggested songs for sync I wanted to make sure I covered songs that I love that I haven't been able to do. This is definitely one of those and it's been added to the live show so I wanted to do it like that just the acoustic and my voice. Coming Oct. 3rd is an acoustic cover of Blue Bayou which you may have heard me sing at a live show. I LOVE Linda Ronstadt and Roy Orbison so it had to happen.<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/399380/894e44f5a920593ec8e80c3a3bb3f6a29422ef11/original/7e3a3103-8a6b-4473-84ff-6720e6f5aefc.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" />Oct.10th ULTRA-MEGA covers No Doubts Sunday Morning <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/399380/1fe658afd1fc79406fab85b85067488cc645c1d3/original/5d1efbb6-30ba-47b3-8144-8d9ce1212ab9.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" />And on Oct.17th it's a double header Sunday with I'm All In Mark Stone and the Dirty Country Band's new single coming out on our LaGrunge Music YouTube channel and at 5pm cst I'll be on BOB FM's Homegrown Show with Brandon Backstrom debuting the new single on country radio listen live at 5pm cst here <a contents="https://v7player.wostreaming.net/2956" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://v7player.wostreaming.net/2956" target="_blank">https://v7player.wostreaming.net/2956</a> </p>

<p>Pandemetron is the villain of the ULTRA-MEGA story. Created through a fatally failed experiment by leading scientists working for the United Federation of Hate. Pandemetron is a symbiotic nano virus borg that exists to grow and spread feeding on entire planets and assimilating everything it consumes to itself as the supreme life form. Pandemetron sees itself as the liberator of the plague of the human race. Every Villain needs a theme song.</p>

<p>So that's what's on the immediate horizon musically for us but there's even more music in the works right now as I finish the guitars and vocals for the Beatles Cover Oh Darling we are planning a Ska Fest with an ULTRA-MEGA cover of No Doubt's Sunday Morning <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/399380/1fe658afd1fc79406fab85b85067488cc645c1d3/original/5d1efbb6-30ba-47b3-8144-8d9ce1212ab9.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" />and to sail the 7 seas with the Yacht Rock Classic by Looking Glass<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/399380/b4438f9f4e4aacd9daf54d0a7cd731f3d9497dba/original/704ea146-5d94-4db4-8fbb-8bc0878645ac.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" />and if that wasn't enough we thought we'd bring the aliens right to your door with Billy Thorpe's Classic<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/399380/e1d46821a8db318306a94be802ba4df310d6028f/original/eff8fbe4-a2de-438e-9843-23a7be5eee30.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" />So that's what's coming up for us. If it seems like an overwhelming amount of music you're not alone and thankfully neither am I. I couldn't make all this music without the help of the LaGrunge Music Families support and or the help of the musical collaborators who have helped me make #moremusicin2021 </p>
<p>That's all for now. Until next time be good to each other and be safe out there.</p>

<p>When Jeremy Schreifels and I kick started ULTRA-MEGA last year during lock down we just wanted to rock and make more music. Some of the music we were writing together had a more extreme rock flavor more like the Juggernaut days than our current project The Dirty Country Band.</p>
<p>I should also mention that <a contents="ULTRA-MEGA T's are on sale until June 1st" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://lagrungemusic.com/product/581636" target="_blank">ULTRA-MEGA T's are on sale until June 1st</a> so grab one at the reduced price and save.

<p style="text-align: center;">Happy Easter Everybody.</p>
<p>Seems like the appropriate time to mention to my friends the reason I wrote this song is to offer an alternative suggestion to the highway to hell. We all stumble we all fall. Forgiveness is a very powerful thing. Hopefully this weekend finds you well surrounded by friends and family.</p>
<p>LaGrungeMusic Headquarters is relocating. That's big news for Rhonda FunStone and I. I have a feeling settling into the new place and finally having more dedicated isolated space to make music will ultimately not only result in #moremusicin2021 but even better music from here on out. I can't wait to create it and create in it.</p>
<p>Right now I'm working on an ULTRA-MEGA cover of Hot Chocolate's "You Sexy Thing" for the Sync Summit's Sync Cafe' Cover Challenge from Go Music where the Sync Cafe Community does renditions of 3 classic songs. "I Love Rock N Roll/Joan Jett/Arrows", "You Sexy Thing-Hot Chocolate", "Kids In America- Kim Wilde". I also lent my voice in a collaboration with Chu and Alex in the Sync Community if you'd like to check it out thee listening party is Wednesday 12pm cst sign up here <a contents="http://syncsummit.com/synccafesignup/" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://syncsummit.com/synccafesignup/" target="_blank">http://syncsummit.com/synccafesignup/</a> or somewhere further down the line it will end up on the YouTube Channel Subscribe here <a contents="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpuoljnWDH_uwnT_x9MG0tA?sub_confirmation=1" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpuoljnWDH_uwnT_x9MG0tA?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpuoljnWDH_uwnT_x9MG0tA?sub_confirmation=1</a></p>

<p>Looking back on 2020 is what everyone is doing right now. I'm looking ahead honestly. This year due to covid the Sync Summit will be virtual which means I get to go and I'm pretty excited about making some new connections and collaborations that will make #moremusicin2021 . There's a listening party for The Girl From Ipanema Wednesday January 17th 12pm CST <a contents="syncsummit.com/synccafesignup" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://syncsummit.com/synccafesignup/" target="_blank">syncsummit.com/synccafesignup</a> that's only 2 weeks away that's not done. I also did a couple of quick guitar tracks to start a cover conversation I mentioned earlier and sent out frame work for Not Drinkin Alone a new Mark Stone and the Dirty Country Band song that will complete the Black and White album coming in February. I also sent frame work for a new ULTRA-MEGA song Battling Resistance coming in February. </p>
<p>Sync Keepers will be virtual too so it will be cool to reconnect and mix it up with 6FS Alumni and see what happens there. I'm excited to make more music in sonic conversations we can all have together. Soo many possibilities. <a contents="https://www.catchthemoonmusic.com/synckeepers" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.catchthemoonmusic.com/synckeepers" target="_blank">https://www.catchthemoonmusic.com/synckeepers</a></p>
<p>Lastly before I get back to mixing You Can Do Magic with Rhonda FunStone on vocals coming to YouTube next Sunday Jan 10th </p>
<p>I want to recommend <a contents="http://songtown.com" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://songtown.com" target="_blank">http://songtown.com</a> In my opinion if you want to improve your songwriting skills just being able to submit a track per month and getting a pros feedback and insight is invaluable besides all the community and opportunity to collaborate with the organization that wrote the book on Co-writing.</p>

<p>At 1 point I actually felt ahead of schedule and then the Flu (NOT COVID)took me out for a week. For the 1st time in awhile Subscribers will not be getting music far in advance of the public. I apologize. I have taken precautionary measures to insure this situation will not happen again. There are now 6 back up videos to avoid this. Without Further delay here is Sunday's Video </p>

<p style="text-align: center;">We also realized as we close 2020 we wrote enough country songs this year to release an album in February so keep your eyes peeled for new country Music from us in February. No rest for the wicked and its a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll and all that. That's what we got coming in 2021 as we prepare to deliver #moremusicin2021 than we put out in 2020. I mean the zombie apocalypse couldn't stop us so we feel pretty good about that. We are also feeling pretty good about our 1st Sync in a Film called Georgia Rocks. Not sure where and when it will be available for the public but we got a clip we're gonna leave you with. <iframe class="justify_inline" data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="SWQrqD7B5OA" data-video-thumb-url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/SWQrqD7B5OA/mqdefault.jpg" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SWQrqD7B5OA?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" height="180" width="320" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></p>

<p>JuggernautMN those who remember the band may not even know they started out as Love Kit but after the Exit of drummer Marc Retish to Nova Mob Grant Hart of Husker Du's post band. Love Kit acquired Dan Haney and shortly after the band changed it's name to Juggernaut. The band would get the opportunity to record at Paisley Park via a battle of the bands contest held at the Mirage. The Black Pagoda album they recorded at Paisley Park also saw the band nominated for Best New Metal Album by the MN Music Awards in 1994.<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/399380/edaf82d849f007d9bfd9cf2b7e49e5c65de3374d/original/img-1089.jpeg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" />Can you guess which one I am?? It's actually harder than I thought my own mudder guessed wrong. lol</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe class="justify_inline" data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="EcEZEvZCGOM" data-video-thumb-url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/EcEZEvZCGOM/mqdefault.jpg" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EcEZEvZCGOM?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" height="fit" width="fit" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></p>
<p>I've tried a few times to get us back together and I'll probably keep trying until something happens even if it never does. Danny middle left with his arms folded played some <a contents="bass for me in the Dirty Country Band" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://youtu.be/k0OuKpCukjk" target="_blank">bass for me in the Dirty Country Band</a>. We had some great luck in Juggernaut and some crushing lows as a band. Erik Fratzke and I put together Big Cellar and let that loose in to the wild a couple of years ago. Essentially a double album of Black Pagoda and the second Album our then label Noise Records wasn't interested in and when that shelving had reached its preservation. If you ask Erik the 2nd album is titled 1,000 names of God which considering its Doomy contents maybe I should've went with that but since we put the 2 together I figure Big Cellar which sounds a lot like Big Seller unless you're reading it from where I'm sitting but it wasn't about that at all. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe class="justify_inline" data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="SDKgPDYCIvI" data-video-thumb-url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/SDKgPDYCIvI/mqdefault.jpg" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SDKgPDYCIvI?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" height="180" width="320" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We would grow apart and chase our musical differences and come together once a year for the longest time Like that time Fratzke called me up to do a MN tribute to the late great Ronnie James Dio and of course I said yes please <a contents="https://song.space/2kr8m8" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://song.space/2kr8m8" target="_blank">https://song.space/2kr8m8</a> .</p>
<p>So we are waxing all nostalgic and Partying Like its 1994 up in here because next Sunday ULTRA-MEGA is doing a cover of Semisonic's Closing Time so we'll be partying like it's 1999.</p>

We have just a day over a week until we rush right through my favorite month of the year and Mother nature decided it's winter in MN so let's do this.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">It's like therapy. Maybe it was because I was an only kid or because we moved around so much when I was young but music always spoke to me. Sometimes it was the only language that could. You can feel the music and working through it has a healing property I can't explain. If you get it you know what I'm saying. </span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">2pm CST Sunday Everything She Wants by Wham! as covered by ULTRA-MEGA will be on <a contents="https://www.youtube.com/c/LaGrungeMusic" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/c/LaGrungeMusic" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/c/LaGrungeMusic</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and if you haven't been sensing a theme we showing are showing a new video Every Sunday 2pm CST for as long as we are able.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I have been playing music in bars since before I was of even of legal age to do so but this COVID-19 VIRUS has made that virtually impossible so I've been jamming with friends via the home studio. Rewind to February we released <a contents="It's True" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://lagrungemusic.com/album/1322753/it-s-true" target="_blank">It's True</a> you may have noticed an unfamiliar name. <a contents="Jeremy Schreifels" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/emptypagestudios/" target="_blank">Jeremy Schreifels</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/399380/6da0fdf7bfcc11b9b4da38029590168fb5013d01/original/96823549-10223255363280808-986049677126270976-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" />and here he is. This picture was taken while I was in the audience and he was playing drums with <a contents="Sailor Jerri" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.sailorjerrimusic.com/" target="_blank">Sailor Jerri</a> who just started her <a contents="Kickstarter Campaign" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sailorjerri/sailor-jerri-making-music" target="_blank">Kickstarter Campaign</a> so they are going to be coming out with some new music to watch out for. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Sorry back to our story Jeremy and I since starting to work together in Feb have created an EP of Cover Tunes and also reformed ULTRA-MEGA. We are currently working on a Full Album for ULTRA-MEGA. So needless to say Jeremy is a monster drummer and avid creator who never really asks for the spotlight /maybe prefer to stay out of it but he's all rockstar and a helluva great guy who deserves a proper introduction to The Dirty Country Family. So for those of you keeping track at home that means that other than <a contents="Your Hero" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://lagrungemusic.com/album/1270111/your-hero" target="_blank">Your Hero</a> which feature <a contents="Todd Jameson" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://toddjamesonmn.com" target="_blank">Todd Jameson</a> and <a contents="Nick Poshek" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/nick.danger.589" target="_blank">Nick Poshek</a> and a couple of songs I produced myself Jeremy and I are responsible for 11 songs on this list </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe class="justify_inline" data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="ujw6w_jnMvo" data-video-thumb-url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/ujw6w_jnMvo/mqdefault.jpg" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ujw6w_jnMvo?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" height="180" width="320" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></p>

Summer is here but so is COVID-19 and everyone in the world has changed because of it. At first it seemed to bring us together like the world for a brief moment would come together to face an invisible enemy that literally had a strangle hold on the entire world. It didn't take long for that to turn around and explode. I myself haven't been any where other than the grocery store for curb side pick up for months. But close friends of mine and pics posted make it look like a bomb went off in Minneapolis. It's really confusing and a lot of misinformation is out there. The good news is some things are slowly coming back. </p>
<p>My buddies in the Hell Country Truckers just did a show last night at Le Musique room in Albertville outside in the parking lot. It was like a drive in rock concert cool idea and very respectfully a lot of folks stayed in their cars but none the less enjoyed the music. Sponsored by our friends at BOB FM. Speaking of BOB FM July 19 a little more than a month from now I'll be Back on the Homegrown show but you should tune in every Sunday at 5pm with your new host Brandon Backstrom here's a link to listen live <a contents="https://v7player.wostreaming.net/2956" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://v7player.wostreaming.net/2956" target="_blank">https://v7player.wostreaming.net/2956</a> </p>
<p>Because of the high risk of my household family members we will be watching over the next months and will hopefully be returning to live venues soon but until then we've been jamming in the studio with friends and tomorrow at 2pm CST our reimagination of the Doors Roadhouse Blues will Premier on YouTube</p>

<p>Top one for tomorrow teaser below it that was mostly for me because they both have the same thumb nail but if your easily confused like me it could help you too. We've been putting out a new video every week since April and it's been getting a little bigger each time which is always cool we'd love it if you subscribed and joined us and or pencil us in for any upcoming Sunday at 2pm CST here's what the schedule looks like past this Sunday</p>

This road and this path will not be easy but nothing good ever is and if you'd like a good reason to inspire you turn on any news outlet. This is way beyond a MN problem. It's a United States Problem and I hope and pray that what happened to George Floyd NEVER EVER happens again.</p>

Thank You. I really see this whole year as a growth year in our relationships which all started from a simple desire to make #moremusicin2019 </p>
<p>The years not over. It's an ice skating rink, literally, as soon as you step outside here in MN and I'll be driving to the gig here in an hour or so after I grab a bite and finish thanking you again for hanging in there with me. It's not always easy but we made it. We literally couldn't have done it without your support. </p>
<p>We also got help from Midwest Country Music Association, SongTown, SongTown Midwest Skycircie, 6 Figure Songwriting, Don't Keep Your Day Job, Sync Cohort, Triple Threat Artist, Schwilly Family Musicians and <a contents="What the Bleep Podcast" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-make-music-your-full-time-passion-with-mark-stone/id1451343373?i=1000459051350" target="_blank">What the Bleep Podcast</a></p>
<p>We listened to you. Started paying more attention to what you asked us for and as a result we have a new website you can connect directly with us from to download, subscribe for rewards and we even put in a few free downloads just to make it worth your while to explore and to say thanks for the kickass year.</p>
<p>#moremusicin2020 I hope you'll join us this year as we attempt to produce more and better music make more friends and relationships and certainly adopt more members to our Dirty Country Family. </p>

Hands down the heaviest song I've written all year. Written with a Zombie tv show in mind we think it couples well with the zombie apocalypse.</p>

When you're doing what you love and your busy you can get so wrapped up in it that, other things get neglected. Well how can I expect you to be interested in something you haven't even heard about from someone who rarely communicates with you?? Exactly. DOH!!!</p>
<p>It's finally summer in MN I've earned my Redneck status via yesterday afternoons patio show. Our scheduled show on the patio today will be fought with rain and we'll be inside at a venue with one of the funnest patios we play. Gotta take the good with the bad. The sun doesn't always shine as I'm sure you're all aware.</p>
<p>Let's talk about #moremusicin2019 so I've been gathering a community of supporters/friends/family on <a href="http://patreon.com/mst0ne" target="_blank">http://patreon.com/mst0ne</a></p>
<p>Thanks to their support and inspiration since January we have released 15 songs on the platform which is even more than the 1-2 songs a month I promised in the last 5 months. </p>
<p>Coming June 1st will be a new EP called Pentatonic Memories 5 songs Tomorrow the Sun Is Gonna Shine, There's No Place Like Home, Ready Set Go, Singin Smilin Thinkin Bout U and Better in the Rearview Mirror. Pentatonic Memories will be the EP release of the month and Coming Home (A Truckers Love Story) will be the single release for June but before that you can catch the lyric video.</p>
<p>May 28th after noon you can catch the Lyric Video for Coming Home (A Truckers Love Story) right on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/27019958" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/posts/27019958</a> yep, a peek behind the curtain. </p>
<p>I talked to a friend at a show we just did last weekend and he said man I just can't afford $1 a month. I get it we all fall on hard times and I'm not trying to make anyone feel pressure to support this project at all ever. We have a lot of casual acquaintances who support us in other ways: They like our stuff. They share our stuff and bring their friends to shows. We Love that and we appreciate it so much so if it seems we haven't acknowledged you we apologize we definitely try to every chance we get. </p>
<p>We keep telling folks about our Patreon page because it is the best musical value we can offer for only $1 and if you haven't fallen on hard times it is the most value we can ever offer with almost 2 albums of material for download available for less than a latte'. It's also 5-10X cheaper than 1 night of cover at your local bar but the Patreon bouncers will let you hang out for a month which is quite a bit more than 4 hours.</p>
<p>There are currently 4 songs that I can't post anywhere else and are exclusive to the platform. Along with increasing my productivity to write I've also been writing songs for other people. These songs can't be shared in public and due to contractual obligations may not be released to the public for up to 3 years but I can share them with my private community of supporters. Everyone who supports us is immortalized in our liner notes for the the releases they support. CDs ordered are signed and numbered because we can't think of a better way to thank you for supporting us. If you have a few better ideas we'd love to hear em. Through social media or the contact page of the website.</p>
<p>June 9th and 30th at 5-6pm CST tune into <a href="http://v6.player.abacast.net/2956" target="_parent">mybobcountry.com</a> for the Homegrown show I'll be a guest with host Brian Powers click the pic to stream the station live for the show or whenever it's my favorite radio station. All the good ole classic stuff, the new stuff and all of my very talented regional #midwestcma friends are supported here too. Give it a shot.</p>
<p><a href="http://v6.player.abacast.net/2956"><img src="http://www.markstoneandthedirtycountryband.com/img/BOBALL.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="695" width="900" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'll be doing a few acoustic songs that have never even been played acoustic along with the radio debut of Coming Home a Truckers Love Story and more as well as some of the finest Country and Midwestern Rock n Roll that you probably haven't heard and if you have probably would like to hear some more. (Click the pic above to stream live) I believe you can also download the show. Pretty cool.</p>
<p>I'm gonna try to get back to putting out this Dirty Blog at least once a month but just in case I F' it up again coming to patreon as the June single Download is "Sucker In A Sad Country Song" if you've never felt like that before you'll probably think it's funny and if you have a few spins and a couple shots will hopefully will do the trick</p>

<p>I woke up today to hear of yet another one of my rock n roll heroes has left this life too soon. Vinnie Paul is dead at the age of 54. Vinnie joins his brother Dime in the after life. Our heart goes out to all his surviving family and friends. The brothers were legendary hosts for countless memories and good times. I have a guitar named after Dime named Diamonds with a Jagermeister label laminated on the back of it from one of the bottles I shared with the brothers back in what some would say was there musical peak. I say go out and makes some memories with some friends. Live the life that will live on in all of the souls you touched while you walked in it. Rest in Peace Vinnie Paul you won't be forgotten. </p>
<p>Thank you for all the amazing music. </p>

<p>For Stories could have been called Four Stories as there are indeed 4 songs featured on the EP 1) Until Someone Remembers My Name 2) When Love Goes to War 3) Faster Than They Fall In 4) Before You're Gone.

<h1><span>We have 2 songs demoed in<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span><a href="http://bit.ly/DirtyCountryFamily" target="_blank"><span>TheDirtyCountryFamily on FB</span></a></span></span></h1>
<p><span>If you haven't decided to join and want to see the process of making "For Stories" we strongly encourage you to Click Link Above<span><br></span></span></p>
<p><span>It is a closed group but If you let us know you found out about the group through<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>"The Dirty" we will gladly usher you in </span></p>
<p><span>We Started recording last Sunday at Undertone Music in Minneapolis so besides the demos already posted you'll get to see some pics and video clips of the process of making our new release "For Stories" which will include the following Tracks:</span></p>
<p><span>1) Unitl Someone Remembers My Name - this song started out as a nod to one of my favorite country music outlaws David Alan Coe and is turning out to be much more than I invisioned.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>2) When Love Goes To War - The struggle is real and in some relationships never ending. Didn't have to look to far for the inspiration for this song</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>3) Faster Than They Fall In - this song exploits the unusal habits of bad relationships in general</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>4) Before You're Gone - I wrote this song as a reply of sorts to Highway to Hell as much as I like the song I'd rather see my friends up in heaven singing along together. I'm hoping the polka song in Heaven There Is No Beer was wrong. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Just in case you missed the one above I put this one here for another shot at it</span></p>

<p>We want to thank all of you for making this year the best so far for us. Sure it had its ups and downs but we are connecting with more and more people like you that dig our music. A year ago in January we had a very modest 7.500 Twitter followers. Today we have 15,400.

We try to make it easy but sometimes a little nudge gives folks a boost of confidence. So Thank You. Some of you are already doing this I say thank you again.

Everybody thought they had his riffs down but there was a wizardy in it's simplicity that made it more complex than you thought. Trust me it makes sense if you don't think about it.

<p>Over the past 5 years we've noticed that a lot of you search for markstoneandthedirtycountryband which we love so we registered the url and we will also continue to maintain markstonemn to welcome new folks who aint afraid to get a little dirty. </p>
<p>You may also notice that our store is now partnered with CDBaby and Trifecta is now available everywhere digital music is sold. It may even appear listed double just more of us to go around I guess.</p>
<p>We would also love if you'd connect with us via email if you haven't already anywhere you see a place to enter your email on the site will do. We will be rolling out some pretty cool exclusives as we continue working on the song that will make up our next release "For Stories" </p>
