Evan Martin has devoted his time and energy to music consistently throughout his life. Starting as a guitarist leading bands and open mics, he made the switch to the drums when the opportunity arose and it changed the way he thinks about music and life. We get deep and discuss the intrinsic value of drums and how it can sometimes be our therapy. You can see Evan play regularly with a rotating group of players at Little Jumbo in Asheville on Monday and Tuesday nights, but especially with The Core, one of Asheville's collectives of seasoned and widely renowned jazz musicians. You can also catch him with Amanda Anne Platt and The Honeycutters either live or on their studio recordings. www.honeycutters.comhttps://www.facebook.com/TheCoreJazz/
This story begins with Citizen Vinyl, a combination vinyl pressing plant, recording studio, bar and restaurant in downtown Asheville, North Carolina, in the old Citizen-Times building. Built in the late 1930s, it was originally the home of two newspapers and the WWNC radio station. Wanting to host more events there, Citizen Vinyl reached out to Greg Cartwright, well known for his work in his band Reigning Sound; Greg then invited Amanda Anne Platt, who has been playing with her band The Honeycutters for more than a decade, and a relatively new artist in the Asheville scene, Wes Pearce. Postcard from 1939 depicting Asheville, NC's Pritchard Park and WWNC radio station The three artists shared the stage on the ground floor of the three story building, in the open space between the bar, record shop and pressing plant, and played from their existing catalog of songs as well as many brand new songs that have not yet had their chance to make it into the adjacent room to be pressed into discs. The audience was quiet and attentive, and while Amanda, Greg and Wes played, the rest of the world receded to the background as everyone focused on the trio, who took turns playing their songs on acoustic guitar.After their set, Amanda, Greg, Wes and I went upstairs to the old WWNC live performance studio to talk about the romantic atmosphere of their show, the resurgence of vinyl's popularity and how the collectability of 45s and LPs has flipped since COVID-19 changed so much for all of us, how they navigate their music careers post-COVID, the local Asheville scene and more.

After making a spiritual resolution, Country Roots Singer Amanda Anne Platt talks to Elaine Pagels (Professor of Religion at Princeton University) to come to a greater understanding, and write a beautiful new song - "Miracles". Stream the song: https://ffm.to/amandamiracles LYRICS: I saw Jesus in a parking lot he said to give the world what I got but nobody believed me yeah they said I was crazy and now it's gonna turn me to stone like milk for the baby that never came home it's the saddest thing that I've ever known and can't nobody save me Sometimes the heart breaks just like an egg hatches tiny and barely breathing hungry for some meaning Sometimes the world laughs just trying to hold the tears back sometimes we're lonely sometimes we're only dreaming We were short on miracles Guess they needed them for the war so we said "we don't believe in miracles anymore" but I don't wanna be scared to love I don't wanna be scared to hope I don't wanna be scared to call out just cause there might be no answer She misses her brother today asks me why he went away I say "honey, it's beyond me" I been trying to wrap my head around the whole damn thing trying to find the truth, trying to make it sing sometimes the truth just seems so ugly We were short on miracles Guess they needed them for the war so we said "we don't believe in miracles anymore" but I don't wanna be scared to love I don't wanna be scared to hope I don't wanna be scared to call out just cause there might be no answer CREDITS: Amanda Anne Platt : Vocals Dulci Ellenberger : Harmonies Jack Stafford : Backing Vocals Luigi Falcione : Acoustic Guitar, Banjo Massimino Voza : Drums, Strings, Vibes Maurizio Sarnicola : Bass Guitar Written by Amanda Anne Platt & Jack Stafford Produced, mixed and mastered by Maurizio Sarnicola at Goldmine Records Italy // SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL // Newsletter, donations and download the song for €/$1 @ https://podsongs.com // LINKS // Website: https://podsongs.com Podcast episodes: https://podsongs.com/podcast-episodes Songs: https://podsongs.com/music Spotify artist: https://open.spotify.com/artist/32FYyRx1y1ex3jHHAgLMC7?si=4Nv7WW85SbSPZvCsj1o7Ig Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6sN1viy82HPiNTVX2YBxpq?si=1b84c2b9bdea4656 // SOCIAL // Twitter: https://twitter.com/podsongs Instagram: https://instagram.com/podsongs Facebook: https://facebook.com/podsongs --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podsongs/message

Episode 208: Western North Carolina has a long history in roots music, but Amanda Anne Platt and the Honeycutters have been one of the defining sounds of the scene for the last decade or more, a no-frills, highly musical country band fronted by an exceptional singer and songwriter. On my recent trip to Asheville, I caught a Honeycutters show and then sat down with Amanda at her century-old home in Black Mountain, NC to talk about her guitar-building days, the evolution of her band and the new double album The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea. Also, part two of my visit with Asheville folk singer Valorie Miller.

There have been any number of bands that started out in one mode only to wind up in another sooner or later. In one of our film documentaries, Amanda Anne Platt talked about thinking that she was a rock and roller at first, only to have an artist friend tell her that the songs she was writing were country songs instead. The scenario where young musicians bang out power chords early on before growing into an acoustic adulthood is fairly common. And then there are hybrids: pioneering acoustic guitarist Billy Strings said that he learned to play music by playing bluegrass, but he learned how to perform by playing in a metal band. The band Elonzo Wesley is unique in this conversation, not in that its members have largely rock and roll beginnings which evolved into an acoustic present, but in the approach that they use in expanding their sound far beyond just these two points in the musical spectrum. Their lyrics set them apart as well, revealing a keen awareness of the human condition. And their songs are good no matter what the backdrop. (R to L) Dennis Contreras, Taylor Winchester and Jeremy Davis perform at the Fillmore in Charlotte, NC In this episode, Elonzo Wesley members Jeremy Davis, Taylor Winchester and Dennis Contreras talk about the concept of their sound, how influences like Radiohead are still present in their music, the inclusive nature of the Charlotte music scene, and an after hours tour story that ended surprisingly better than it began. Along the way, you will hear music from their performances in March 2020 at Pisgah Brewing in Black Mountain, NC and at WNCW just ahead of that show, plus their cover of a song by My Morning Jacket. We get commentary from writer and photographer Daniel Coston about the band and his Queen City hometown, too.

Amanda Anne Platt and her band produced their first two albums on their own and were preparing a third without drawing interest from a record label. "It was hard. I think every time you experience any kind of rejection in the arts, it makes you question your validity as an artist, which doesn't make sense," Platt said. "The music business is not music. If you're not having monetary success, it doesn't make you any less of an artist. I still have to remind myself of that. Every day it's hard."
Darren Nicholson of Balsam Range and Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters tell us about what life is like as traveling musicians and break down some perceptions of what it is like on the road. Darren is the founding member of Balsam Range (2018 IBMA Entertainer of the Year) and travels the world. Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters were on a European tour to England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, and The Netherlands this past summer and both Darren and Amanda talk about travel, food and life as a road warrior!
Making it in music is tough. It can be the most wonderful experience you could hope for, but surviving, let alone flourishing, is an elusive bulls-eye for musicians and music professionals everywhere. This theme comes up in every episode here on Southern Songs and Stories, in some way or another. Artists of all kinds are self employed and are walking a hard road to travel, especially financially. But not all artists are walking that same hard road -- some are walking one even steeper, and more dangerous. And when you are talking about making it in music, it becomes clear pretty quickly that being a woman puts you on a journey lined with pitfalls and roadblocks. In this episode of Southern Songs and Stories, we map out what that road can be like, as we hear from Amanda Anne Platt of the Honeycutters, Natalya Weinstein of Zoe & Cloyd, Hannah Kaminer, Alexa Rose and Ygerne Moonie, telling us about their experiences, both good and bad, as we question what makes music so male dominated in the first place, what preconceptions do to hold women back, talk about some of their musical heroines, and much more.

THE HONEYCUTTERS are, at the heart, the musical collaboration of singer/songwriter Amanda Anne Platt and Lead Guitarist/ Producer Peter James. While their sound has drawn comparisons to such artists as Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris or Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Platt and James produce a refreshingly unique blend of Americana music that is comfortingly familiar while being entirely original. This Asheville, NC band has just released their second album When Bitter Met Sweet. GRANVILLE AUTOMATIC is Vanessa Olivarez and Elizabeth Elkins. This Nashville-based alt country duo write songs pulled from a shared love of history, horses and war. Granville Automatic is named after a 19th-century typewriter: Vanessa is a collector. With sonic references like Lyle Lovett, Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson, Granville Automatic has created a quiet and lyrical sound devoted to telling stories from the past. Both girls have a history in the music business: Vocalist/songwriter Olivarez wrote and recorded a Top 10 single in Canada, has three cuts on Sugarland records, including a song on their multi-platinum Enjoy the Ride album, and received a Dora nomination for her work in the Toronto production of Hairspray. She was also a finalist on the second season of American Idol. Guitarist/songwriter Elkins is a Grand Prize winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest who has showcased at the Billboard/BMI Acoustic Brunch at SXSW, at BMI showcases in Los Angeles, Atlanta and Nashville, and at CMJ. The band's self-titled debut studio album was just released.
