The birthday festival continues in New Bern, North Carolina with a long time favorite and friend Jeremy Squires. I found him when his Central Nervous Station EP came out back in 2013 and have since been a big fan of his beautiful and haunting folk songs. The first song of his that I ever loved is called A Warm Glow and Jeremy Squires was kind enough to send a live version of that particular song. Watch it below and stay tuned. There will also be an encore later during this anniversary week.

Our next destination on this birthday party is Dallas, Texas. Songwriter Vanessa Peters has been releasing wonderful albums and songs for decade and a half. Her latest album Foxhole Prayers was one of my personal favorites of 2018. It’s a powerful and inspiring folk rock album that tackles important issues. An album that has a good heart. Therefore I’m proud to share a live version of album cut Trolls on this event. You’ll find the studio version of this song and the whole great back catalogue from her Bandcamp page.
