House Concert with Roochie Toochie and The Ragtime Shepherd Kings (Nashville)

So excited for this old time Tin Pan Alley band to pass through town. We've been a fan of Timothy Finland for years, from our introduction to him playing with our friends the Tumbling Bones to his bass playing with JP Harris in the Tough Choices. We're excited to host his main band right here at Sign of the Wagon.

Doors at 7:00 PM / Show at 8:00 PM BYOB 21+

Get your tickets in advance, please.

From the first recordings made on tinfoil in 1877 to the last produced on celluloid in 1929, cylinders spanned a half-century of technological development in sound recording. As documents of American cultural history and musical style, cylinders serve as an audible witness to the sounds and songs through which typical audiences first encountered the recorded human voice. And for those living at the turn of the 20th century, the most likely source of recorded sound on cylinders would have been Thomas Alva Edison's crowning achievement, the phonograph.

Our mission, and our passion, is to perform the weirdest songs from the early days of tin pan alley on the format on which they were first recorded--wax cylinder. We all share a love of antiquated pop tunes, and we are asking for a chance to record them in the only medium that does them justice. These old songs give a voice to a bygone era and reflect the attitudes of their time, and no matter how silly they seem they are historical documents of their time. We aim to mine the zaniest and most obscure songs from the early 20th century and record them for a new audience to underscore both the absurdity and importance of popular music in American history.

Members: Timothy Findlin, Lindsay McCaw, Aaron Jonah Lewis, Matt Bell and Joy Patterson
