Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers

Eggy 101 with J.M. Hart

Justin Bruce is joined by longtime internet pal and newly-minted Eggy fan J.M. Hart in Episode 25. They listen through the Nugs Live 101: Eggy playlist [https://2nu.gs/3NAxWoX] to discuss the band from the perspective of someone (Jonathan) who's just getting into our favorite Connecticut foursome. Jonathan was a part of Helping Friendly Podcast for many years, and simultaneously hosted the fantastic Brokedown Podcast. These days, he's busy releasing great original music; it's been said that his work walks the line between “country-tinged singer-songwriter fare and cosmic Americana.” Check out his latest release: Turned Around, on Bandcamp [https://jmhart.bandcamp.com/album/turned-around]. Justin and Jonathan have crossed paths on different pods over the years, including Deeper Listening Podcast episode 8 Eyes of the World with Jonathan Hart [https://shows.acast.com/deeper-listening/episodes/64079c691d175d0011ab1f72] and Brokedown Podcast episode 73 Celebrating Brent Mydland with Justin Bruce [https://www.osirispod.com/podcasts/brokedown-podcast/brokedown-podcast-celebrating-brent-mydland-with-justin-bruce/]. Toward the end of the conversation, Jonathan mentions a few recent albums he's been digging: Albumen - s/t, on Bandcamp [s/t, on Bandcamp] (Justin missed the joke about albumen being the technical term for an egg white, but can attest that this album rules) Jeffrey Alexander + The Heavy Lidders - Synchronous Orbit, on Bandcamp [https://jeffreyalexander.bandcamp.com/album/synchronous-orbit] Winged Wheel - Desert So Green, on Bandcamp [https://wingedwheel.bandcamp.com/album/desert-so-green] Eggy's tour dates [https://eggymusic.com/tour] Eggy AUDs (audience recordings) on Archive.org [https://archive.org/details/EggyMusic?sort=-date] Vice or Virtue [https://www.osirispod.com/podcasts/vice-or-virtue-an-eggy-pod/] is a proud part of Osiris Media [https://www.osirispod.com/].

Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers

Justin Bruce recaps Eggy's five shows opening for Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers. Cross-pollination was plentiful during this dreamy run, be it Eggy with Bruce, Bruce with Eggy, or members of the Noisemakers (Gibb Droll and John Mailander) with Eggy. Four albums I'd recommend for anyone new to Bruce Hornsby: 1993's Harbor Lights, 2000's Here Come the Noisemakers, 2011's Bride of the Noisemakers, and 2019's Absolute Zero. Here are my notes re: the 19 Bruce Hornsby albums [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HW1VaYrSPCYg42Ace1QfWbEY4F5ShZaAkd7SbmobAZs/edit?usp=sharing] I listened to to familiarize myself with his catalog.
