Show #230 with Fuzzyhappy of Rolla

Nick & Bootsy welcome Rolla, Missouri band, Fuzzyhappy, to Show #230 on March 22, 2015.

Show #229-Miles from Nowhere

Yep, they’re back – Miles from Nowhere – Brandi and the boys produce some of the sweetest harmonies we’ve ever heard. The band practices in the country-politan area of Plato, Missouri, but they’re from various locations in and around Phelps county, Missouri. Besides songbird, Brandi Niebruegge Couch, the band also showcases the many musical talents of Don Bordwell (guitar, banjo, vocals); Nate O’Donnell (guitar, vocals); Doug Caldwell (guitar, banjo, vocals) and Jordan Damewood (percussion). Most of the tunes the band plays are written by Doug and Don, but they do pick their favorite cover tunes from a variety of genres. They performed Purple Rain by Prince on the show!

Show #228 with Collin Nash

On Show #228, Collin Nash, a young musician from Rolla, MO, joined Nick & Bootsy for a chat and live acoustic performance of a few of his original tunes. Besides Collin’s originals, he shared one with us written by his uncle, Michael Conners, a Basement Tapes alumni from Salem, Missouri (now living in Nashville) and contributor to our master playlist. Collin is a senior at Rolla high school where he’s getting geared up for baseball season. He also enjoys hunting and fishing. We don’t think he’ll be giving up music, though, and we’re pretty sure he’ll be back in the basement with us soon!
