our choice: luella and the sun
The springtime is making us nostalgic for supper+song. If it were happening this year, this band Luella and the Sun would be one of our first calls. Can’t stop watching videos of their mesmerizing performances. Looking forward to seeing their career unfold. Check them out tonight – Sunday, March 31 at 8 PM at 3rd and Lindsley.

sxsw shindig
Billy Reid throws the best parties… Lots of fun, familiar faces spotted in this video from his recent SXSW Shindig in Austin, Texas.
our choice: leagues
The debut record from LEAGUES has been on repeat around our office since its January release. Made up of our friends Thad Cockrell, Jeremy Lutito and Tyler Burkum, LEAGUES are amazing musicians who also have critically-acclaimed careers of their own. And it doesn’t hurt that they are quite dashing, too.
The infectious You Belong Here is a combination of feel-good pop with a couple introspective tunes thrown in the mix. I’ve been fortunate to see them live, and let me just say, these guys are the real deal. Hands were clapping, feet tapping, bodies moving—a sight not often seen in this music town. They are currently on the road through April, and if you have the chance to see them in your city… run, don’t walk.
Love,
Elise
sign painters
Like many skilled trades, the sign industry has been overrun by the techno-fueled promise of quicker and cheaper. Fortunately, there is a growing trend to seek out traditional sign painters and a renaissance in the trade.
In 2010, filmmakers Faythe Levine and Sam Macon began documenting these dedicated practitioners, their time-honored methods, and their appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. Sign Painters, the first anecdotal history of the craft, features the stories of more than two dozen sign painters working in cities throughout the United States.
If I could be anything, I would be a sign painter!
