Honky Tonk Tuesdays. Saving Country Music. Detroit.
Many thanks to The Triggerman from Saving Country Music for the nice mention of Some Velvet Evening and Detroit as a roots music epicenter. Well, hell…he even mentions Club Bart’s Honky Tonk Tuesdays. How’s that! See the excerpt below and click the link for the full article. We sure love you Triggerman.
4. Michigan – (Detroit, Flint)
On the surface maybe one of the most unlikely epicenters for country and roots music is also possibly one of the most vibrant. The home base for artists like Whitey Morgan & The 78′s, Rachel Brooke, The Goddamn Gallows (Lansing), as well as a vibrant local scene with bands like Some Velvet Evening, Michigan has grown just about as many underground roots acts as anywhere else. To grow good roots bands you need support, and events like the legendary “Honky Tonk Tuesdays” at Club Bart in Ferndale created the community and collaboration that have allowed Michigan roots music to thrive.

Third Coast Music Review
Many thanks to John Conquest for the review of “No Law Against Talking” that will be appearing in the April issue of Third Coast Music!
SOME VELVET EVENING • No Law Against Talking
First off, I owe an apology to Brennen Leigh & Jesse Dayton, my excuse being that their country duets album, Holdin’ Our Own (Stag, 2007), was a one-off rather than an ongoing project. However, after reviewing My Darling Clementine’s How Do You Plead? (Drumfire [UK]) last month, further digging around YouTube turned up Shooting The Breeze, Apart from their video being a marvelous pastiche of a period TV hayride show, Carrie Shepard & John Holk, from the Detroit Honky Tonk scene (who knew?), prove that there are at least two actual Americans who can sing country duets really well. Not only that, but write them too, with nine originals alongside The Delmore Brothers’ Southern Moon and Ritchie Valens’ Come On, Let’s Go. I’m not crazy about the name, presumably a play on Lee Hazlewood’s Some Velvet Morning, but anybody who reminds me so strongly of The Kendalls, especially when they have the same speciality—slippin’ around—can call themselves anything they like. While Shepard sings harmonies with John Holk & The Sequins, here, like Jeannie Kendall, she takes the leads, with Holk as her Royce, and while it isn’t all about cheating, the standouts, like the suggestive standout Chore List, One Night Of Sin and Behind The Line are all about cheating.
