Starlings, TN

My buddy Mike has run Chicken Ranch Records from various exotic locations including Ruston, LA; Austin, TX; and Athens, GA. He’s always had some interesting bands come through and one of the latest includes some folks I met back in the day at the homestead (Shreveport, LA), so you may have met them, too. Steve Stubblefield was with the Methadone Actors back then. Tim (Timmy) Bryan infamously played with Mike in Habitual Sex Offenders (it’s not what you think, it’s more like this kind of thing, eh) and also played with Steve in Methadone Actors. Together when on tour, and including some other folks when they record, these two are the main components in Starlings, TN . They have enjoyed a lot of critical success (and I’m a big fan of their first album) and the big news is they were featured on NPR this evening.

Check ‘em out. I know you’ll like it.
